Il merely offer these ideas as crude sug-

whole subject properly bs.cro the League
eul american association a. their next am

feel sure some plan VIII bs arranged that
VIII more fully meet tho requirements Of the
gamo and place professional baseball on a
more pcrn'aucnt business basis.
II would suggest that You communicates
with tho other League clubs and appoint

While sir. spaldiug's plans may meet with
the approval Of club managers, it IS probable
that tho players viii Offer strong opposition.
