Kennedy...presented articles of organization, which affirmed that the objects of the Association are to promote the interests and welfare of the National game, and to procure a thorough and uniform system of base ball scoring, giving correct data on which to base reliable statistics for the annual averages. All regular reporters of base ball of the daily and weekly press of America are eligible to membership. The annual dues were fixed at one dollar.
