The action of the American Association precipitates a crisis in the affairs pertaining to the national game of base ball, inasmuch as the league will not be called upon to decide whether or not it will quietly pocket the affront placed upon it, or whether it will withdraw from being a party to the national agreement, and thus create a disruption between it and the other parties to the agreement. … ...with all its advantages and wise provision, the national agreement was never intended to be used as a shield behind which undue advantage could be taken of, or blows dealt at, any of the associations parties thereto. It was never intended to be sued as a prop by one association in imposing selfish and unreasonable demands upon another, and yet, in the light of rec3ent developments relative to the filling of the existing vacancy in the league, it would seem as though the American association had done that very thing.
