Text | [from Harry Palmer's column] “The very features that have marked the season of 1890 as a disastrous one,” said Walter Spalding, “are arguments in favor of the old sales system and reserve rule. Every minor league in the country to-day, with the exception of the Western League, is bursted. The minor league club which in seasons past has been certain of selling tow or three of its best players to even it up financially at the close of the season, is now certain of nothing, because of the existence of the piratical Players' League. In seasons past the minor league club in need of funds could borrow enough capital to tide it along on the strength of the reserve rule, the sales system and the National Agreement. This year they have been unable to do so, and what is the result? They ave bursted. |
