Text	[from an interview of W. Warren White] “You see their eleven-men reserve rule was very unsatisfactory and unfair to the men. At the close of a season they could engage such men as they were sure they wanted for the next year, and reserve the rest by guaranteeing them $1,000 salary. When they found they could secure better material they could release their reserve men, after, perhaps, all chances were gone for securing good positions elsewhere.” [followed by an interview of L. Moxley] “There is no valid objection [to the reserve rule]” replied Mr. Moxley. “It simply serves to protect managers to a certain extent, without inflicting any hardships upon the players. At the close of a season a manager can hold on to his men for a certain length of time–a couple of months. If he succeeds he releases his men, and they can secure places elsewhere: if he fails, he at least is sure of the men he had before.
