Text	The plain facts of the case are that a general impression prevails that the club Presidents, at their Saratoga meeting, October 1, acted hastily and with lack of discrimination. Players were placed upon the black list for faults that were condoned in their fellow players. In short, it apparently made all the difference in the world whether the offender was a first-class player or a second-class player. Detroit Free Press November 27, 1881 [reporting on the NL meeting 12/7/81] In the article on membership, provision is made for a black list. The name of any umpire, manager or player, can be placed upon the list by a vote of five league clubs, and any person so placed will be ineligible for connection with any club, until such inabilities are removed by the unanimous vote of the league.
