[reporting on the meeting of the Arbitration Committee] Among the things that were talked over was the great question, “Will the North-western League be recognize by the Arbitration Committee?” There, of course, was nothing in this, as the committee was compelled to recognize the North-Western; how could it do otherwise? as the said committee was partly formed by the North-western League, and should a movement be made to drop the younger league it would most certainly have resulted in the rupture of the tripartite agreement; and as a consequence in a few hours one organization would have been stealing the other's players.

The committee saw this, and instead of dropping the North-western they decided to allow all organizations similar as themselves to become members of the committee and be represented by three delegates, who shall have full power to act for the organization which they represent, and they to receive the same protection as the organizations now represented therein.
