[byline Caylor] [discussing the joint rules committee] One of the things that was rejected by the refusal of the Association committee to vote for it was a pet proposal of Messrs. Spalding and Anson to allow a team to take out a player and substitute another any any time without the excuse of injury or sickness. And the refusal was caused by the fact that the Association have such pitchers as Foutz, Caruthers, Hudson, Mullane, Hecker, Reccius, Kilroy and Terry, who can play the outfield and there is less necessity for such a rule in the Association than there is in the League. Anson made a hard fight for it but it was again and again refused.
