[from a letter to the Clipper by Jimmy Williams:] The International is a protective Association, and I hope one day to see it the only one of the country. Championship contests are side-issues, so to speak and should be governed by mutual agreements between clubs under certain general restrictions adopted by the central organization. Thus we might properly have sectional championships, North, South, East and West, with a grand wind-up for the championship of the country; but we need but one protective association, to which all professional and semi-professional clubs should belong, and in which all should be entitled to equal rights. This was the object of the founders of the Association, and I hope yet to see it accomplished.
