In regard to any action looking to an effective opposition to this five-men rule by players themselves, we see nothing better that can be done than the adoption of propositions to form a new League outside of the six clubs opposing the five-men League. Thus far but two clubs have “kicked” against the personal rule. But these two, by the aid of the newly-formed clubs in cities like Detroit, Cincinnati, Buffalo and St. Louis, in the West, and New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, in the East, can by judicious and combined action utterly destroy the five-men rule. The question is, will they do it?
