Not a bit of that in this meeting.
Each minor league man who felt the
spirit moving him could arise and
pound away at the ma jors TO his
hearts content, and the speeches that
poured forth that blissful night nearly
blew the glass out of the windows.
The sashes had to be raised that the
surplus enthusiasm might escape into
Madison Square.
Declare Independence.
The next morning. when everybody
felt refreshed after long sleep. the
minors committed themselves to their
declaration of independence. 1t read
as follows:
That we hereby agree jointly and
severally to extend the life of the Ma
tional Association of Professional
Base Ball Leagues adopted at Chicago
September and 6. 1901. This agree
ment shall be and is binding upon our
successor. or successors. and upon any
and all associations. leagues and clubs
hereafter becoming parties to this ma
tional agreement"
This was the strongest document
that the minor leagues ever had sign
ed or that any combination of minor
clubs ever had signed 1t was the
that the bushers dared to tell the big
league that they We're competent
enough to draw up their own national
agreement and that they were de-
termined to put their own into effect
This meant revolution. The big
leagues laughed at 1t. but they found
in time that the minors were not to
be laughed at, because the action
which was taken at this meeting held
the National Association together as it
never had been held before. The
agreement which had been signed was
so binding that it has not been VIC
lated, and the association has repeat
edly proved since that it is strong
enough to punish it's own members
and keep them in line, something
which the big leagues said could not
be done. Indeed, it was the theory of
the major leagues that they must keep
the minors to the chalk mark because
the smaller circuits were not COM
petent to take care of themselves
Must Be Given Hearing.
While this national agreement is
not the one in force now, it was a
document which made it imperative
that the minors should be consulted
in all national agreements which were
drawn up after that. There came a
provision in base ball agreements by
which the minors We're always bound
to be heard as much as were the ma
jors when they fell apart on matters
which were not clearly understood or
over trifles on which no clear under.
