Text	Regarding the new interpretation put on the reserve rule by the late meeting of the Arbitration Committee, a well-known player the other day said: “Heretofore we have taken for granted that, in case a player had strong personal reasons for refusing to sign with the club which had reserved him, he could, by remaining idle for a season, be at liberty to sign elsewhere if he chose to do so; but now he can be placed on the reserve list from year to year. There is nothing equitable about the rule, and if the Players’ Brotherhood is as strong as the members claim it is, they can never find a more fitting opportunity to call a halt on the club owners. At the rate they are taking us along we shall all be slaves before the end of next season.” St. Louis Post-Dispatch December 31, 1886
