| Text | The general public may not know that there is a law in this land higher than the common law. “Base-ball law” is a law unto itself, and so reckless have these legislators become, in the undisputed exercise of their powers, that they make but little pretense to conformation with the rules laid down by courts of law and equity. It do not wish to be understood as denouncing the National Agreement, or even its most radical feature, the reservation of players. Base-ball owes much to its restraining influence upon the piratical tendencies of club managers. I speak only of its abuses and the methods by which it is sought to visit the sins of these managers upon the heads of the players. “Our National Game” by John Montgomery Ward, The Cosmopolitan Vol V No 6, October 1888, pp. |
