[from June Rankin’s column] The American Association has been like a naughty boy in the hands of Mother League ever since its organization, and whenever it gets sulky mama League turns it over her knee and warms its bottom with her slipper, and the Association quiets down like a little mouse. National Police Gazette October 1, 1887

[from June Rankin’s column] The League, to a certain extent, still boss the Association, as the latter have weakened every time they ever confronted the League.

In plain words, the League have not only smeared it all over the Association, but they have actually rubbed it in, and the Association people have submitted without a murmur. Thinking, no doubt, it was for the best interest of the game and that they were martyrs to the cause. National Police Gazette December 3, 1887
