Here is a bit of history which brings
In old timers whose names were house
hold words years ago. 1t Is from the
minutes of the first meeting Of the
National Association, minutes which
were taken at the meeting OF minor
league presidents to form a new ma
tional agreement.
Hold Meeting in Chicago.
The meeting was held at Chicago,
September 5, 1901, at the Leland
Hotel. There We're present, President
of the Eastern League =. T. Powers,
passed on; Western League, T. j.
Hickey, now president of the Amer

Three of the founders of the as
ISOLATION only are left in a period as
short as 25 years. OF the three one is
president Of the association and one is
secretary.
Applications for membership were
received, so the minutes read, from
the Southern Association, j. III. NICK
lin. president. He was the father OF
Sammy Strang Nickl:n. who is now the
owner of the Chattanooga Club. The
California League applied with T. j.
Moran, president. The California
League long ago became the Coast
League and is one of the big links OF
| the National Association chain. Sher'

bership. He was the same old Jim
who as left fielder for the Giants
muffed easy flies and batted home
runs, and it was because he could
bat more home runs than muff flies
that he remained with the Giants to
clout the ball, use big words and pull
at his mustache.
Protect Themselves.
"At this time,' say the minutes,
president Powers arose and stated
that the National League had recently
abrogated the old National agreement,
thereby setting adrift all minor
leagues and other clubs, without
further. protection. Therefore it was
the proper time for minor leagues to
band together for their own protection
Speaking for the Eastern League he

and the UNFOLDING and continuing of
the reserve rule independent of any
other organization; Mr.. Hickey said
the National League had deserted AND
he was in favor of going alone, Muir.

Then Farrell outlined plan of &C.

Sexton said it was time the minors
recognized their own Importance
that was the keynote, Importance, y
and advised adopting an agreement to
run their own way.
Right there they decided to call the
infant the National Association of
Professional Base Ball Leagues, the
biggest name they could think up. and
to adopt rules which should provide
for reservation on the part of mino,
leagues of all their ball players.
That was to preserve honesty amone
