[from an interview of A. G. Mills] As for the players coaxed away from the League [by the UA], he thought their loss would be positively beneficial, as they could be made an example of for the benefit of the great mass of players. He also thinks that should be Union Association live a year it will reduce the salaries of the players below the League standard, as the players being barred from League and American Association circles could get no employment elsewhere and would be even more completely at the mercy of their employers than players under the reserve rule.
