The Philadelphias and New Yorks are mutually working the guarantee system, each paying the other $100 guarantee, and keeping the entire home receipts. The Sporting Life May 12, 1886

The League is coming to the guarantee system slowly, but surely. The Philadelphia, Chicago, new York and Boston clubs have now entered into an agreement whereby the home club takes all the receipts, paying the visiting club a guarantee of $100. The other League clubs won’t consent to such an arrangement, but it's only a question of time for them, too. The Sporting Life June 9, 1886 [Chicago Tribune 6/17/86 denies that Chicago is in the agreement.]
