Arthur Irwin, of the Philadelphia Club, in talking about the Brotherhood and its objects, said just before leaving for California:--”The League doesn't seem to want to give us any privileges whatever. We have proposed to join hands with the managers and help to elevate base ball, and what we ask in return is very reasonable. We ask that a man who has fulfilled his contract with a club for a term of years shall be at liberty to make another contract where and with whom he sees fit, and without restraint; that it shall not be in the power of any club to say to a man: We are going to release you to such and such a club, and you will play there or nowhere.
