Text | [from an interview of Hulbert] ...experience had demonstrated the impracticability of writing a schedule for more than eight clubs. Any greater number would make an unwieldy body and one in which the number of clubs at the bottom with no chance tow in must necessarily be increased. Every game with these “tailers” would cost just as much as one with a first-class club, but would yield a much smaller revenue, and as the number of games was necessarily limited, each must be made to pay as well as possible. Another consideration to the same end was the fact that the available first-class ball–playing material of the country was not more than enough to furnish players for eight clubs. |
