Text	[from Frank Brunell's column] The Association has no right to blame Cleveland for going into the League and all the abuse and slurs heaped upon it by the small literary fry of Association clubs is undeserved. The meeting which reduced the tariff first ut us out of joint with the Association. Not only was the legislation bad, but it was done with unnecessary clumsiness and unexpectedly. After that Cleveland made two efforts through Secretary Hawley at the St. Louis special meeting, and treasurer Howe during the last Eastern trip of the Clevelands, to come to an understanding with the Association clubs. Both officials were snubbed and given no satisfaction. The 50-cent tariff might be returned to, but certainly there was no chance of percentage. That was the information given, in effect. Even Louisville, with special percentage privileges, wasn't in favor of Association percentage. Then came the Detroit chance. It was accepted.
