[reporting on the AA meeting] The first subject discussed was the advisability of instituting an alliance to the Association, to which outside clubs could connect themselves with and secure protection to the players. After some discussion the proposition was adopted. The Merritt Club of Camden, the Atlantic City Club of Atlantic City, and the Atlantic Club of Brooklyn, then made application for membership to the Alliance and were accepted. By the rules of the Association, each of these clubs must pay a membership fee of $10, and are entitled to a delegate at all meetings of the Association. The delegates are allowed to discuss all questions coming before the Association, but have no vote. The Alliance clubs, to have their players protected, must send all engagements as soon as made to the secretary of the Association.
