The Position of the National League.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2l.-The commit.
tee which was appointed at the recent an
nual meeting of the National league of
professional ball clubs to prepare an ad.
dress to the public defining the position of
that organization in the base ball contro.
versy, completed their labor to-day. The
committee consisted of Spalding of Chi.
cago, Day of New York, and Rogers of
Philadelphia. The address recounts the
history of the league, claims the credit to
the league for the present high standing of
the base ball business, and says the origin
OF the reservation and sale of players came
from the necessity of strengthening the
weaker clubs; mentions the recognition of
the brotherhood in 1877, and says: ITO cor
rect any misapprehension in the public
mind as to the alleged enormous profits di-
vided among the stockholders Of the league
clubs it may be interesting to know
that during the past five and only prosper
Gus years, their has been paid in cash diyi-
dends to stockholders in the eight league
CLUBS, less than $l5O.OOO. and during the
salaries ,$1,5O0,0OO. The balance Of the
profits OF the few successful clubs together
with the original capital and subsequent
assessments of stockholders is represented
entlrely IN the grounds and improvements
for the permanent good of the game, cost
ing about 100000. The address then saws
the claim of grievances by the brother
hood is pretext for secession and is false
on its face.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-Immediately upon

same vein. Fred Prefer, for example,

"Well: must say these self-glorified mag
mates throw bOquets at themselves in great
style, but they tell too much. They say
they have rescued the game from an awful
slough. and in the same breath acknoWl-
edge they have done it with the very men
who are now starting in for Themselves

that their commission il necessarily add

will he seen that the home club offers "a
decided advantage over outside ones, AZ
the agents commission is done away with,
and Mr.. kcppler can thus dispose of goods
at prices below what the same article can
he purchased elsewhere. Another COM
mendable feature of the home club is that
all kinds of goods can be purchased by it's
members, whereas outside clubs confine
their sales solely to watches and
diamonds. The terms are the usual ones
