Concerning the report that seven out of the twelve American Association clubs are endeavoring to secure the adoption of a rule for the equal division between visiting and home clubs of the receipts of championship games, President McKnight says: “The matter was brought up at the Cincinnati meeting, but unfavorably acted upon. The weaker clubs favored it, of course, but St. Louis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New York and Pittsburgh would not consent. It is only a question of time, however, when the distribution of profits will be equalized and the stronger clubs in the Association made to contribute to the support of the weaker clubs.
