The Louisville Club will fight the $65 guarantee plan which has been in force in the Association for several years, and make a strenuous effort to have the next meeting at Cleveland adopt the League plan of dividing the gate receipts. The guarantee plan is entirely too favorable to the financial interests of the larger cities, as New York and Philadelphia. The Sporting Life March 2, 1887

[reporting the AA meeting of 3/7-8] O. P. Caylor, a staunch advocate of the guarantee system, but acting for the Mets, sought to secure a division of the gate receipts. But no one was with him, and the change was not discussed. The Sporting Life March 16, 1887
