Text	Hitherto it has been a special clause in the American Association's constitution that each club “shall have the right to regulate its own affairs, to make its won contracts, to establish its own rules, and to discipline, punish, suspend or expel its own manager, players or employees.” Under the new constitution of the Association, however, this right of self-control by clubs has been materially infringed upon, and to the important extent of delegating to the president of the Association—now not a member of any club, but a salaried official—the power to “suspend either a manager or a player of a club” who, in his opinion, has violated any of the rules of the Association applicable to drunkenness or any disgraceful conduct on or off the field.
