[reporting on the joint rules committee meeting 11/17/1886] It was declared the purpose of the Arbitration Committee to be to so amend the National Agreement at its next meeting, so as to make it a requirement of membership and protection under that instrument, qualified or unqualified, that all base ball bodies coming under its rules and government must play only under this common set of rules, which are called: “The National Playing Rules of Professional Base Ball Clubs.” To further this plan a rule was adopted making only a Spalding League ball or a Reach Association ball a legal ball for any championship game under these rules. This is done so as to prevent the use of light or dead balls in games between the clubs of different bodies, a has frequently been the case in the past.
