[reporting on the AA meeting] The constitution was amended so as to agree with the National agreement in whatever particulars it had conflicted. Another blow was aimed at the new Union Association by the insertion of the substance of what is known as .

It is a condition measure, giving the deserters under the reserve rule a chance to come back to the fold of the clubs that reserved them. In fact, the Association offers a premium for the commission of the very act they have always claimed to condemn, namely, contract-breaking. These players, while not under contract to the American Association, are bound by a written contract to the Lucas-Wainwright Club. The measure provides that if the deserters make application to return to their old clubs before they participate in a game with the Union Association they will be accepted; if not before that time they will be expelled.
