| Text | [reporting the NL meeting of 12/7/1881] A number of amendments, some of them of considerable importance, were then read and discussed, and, together with certain alterations, were adopted. Preparation was first made for the Black List, which had been agreed upon at the late Saratoga meeting. The section that shall hereafter govern the increasing of the thus blackened players provides that by an affirmative vote of five League Clubs, any person may be declared unworthy of serving in the League as umpire, manager or player, and any one named in such list is disqualified for further services until his disabilities are removed by a unanimous vote of all the clubs. This practically settles the present flock of black sheep. In fact, not [sic: should be 'but'] one of the list was heard from, that being Crowley, late of the Bostons. A letter was received from him pleading for a removal of his name, but no attention whatever was paid to the pleading epistle. The matter of enlarging the list was not taken up, but it is understood that several names will be placed upon it. |
