Text | [from Albert Mott, Baltimore correspondent's column] It was universally admitted in the past that there were two base ball organization in the world that were vastly superior to all others. These were the National League and the American Association. All competent critics know that as a whole the National League was slightly superior to the American Association in playing strength, and this was freely admitted except by a few partisans. There were clubs in the American Association that might have defeated some clubs in the National League in a series of games for the championship, but League against Association, with anything like the championship at stake and there was no question as to the general superiority of the League, although the Association usually got the best of the the League in exhibition games, where the carelessness of the older body, its known prestige, and the proneness to experimenting all combined to cause such a result. |
