Text	[a letter from James O'Rourke][after recounting the cases of Bastian and Boyle suspended on weak pretenses] Still we hear the same old discordant cry year after year go up from these happy magnates of the League:--Our interests are identical with the players; yes, in common one with the other. We have kept faith with the players (excepting where it was to our disadvantage), and we love the player most affectionately when the player has been taught by experience to be extremely incredulous and cautious of you. Gentlemen you must prove your sincerity to the ball player, not by your (false) declarations of love, but by your acts, as it is by your acts the players know you, and by your acts they will judge you.
