One Of the toughest Nights that any
base ball circuit ever gave another
in old days was that which the Amer
lean Association .consta ntly forced
upon the National League. 1t wasn't
bit like the base ball wars that
started with. the attempt Of the Union
Association to edge into the game.
Anyhow, the Union began with the
worst kind Of a blunder when 1t in
duced players to jump their contracts.
Invariably this practice has resulted
In base ball wars and the circuit
which started it usually loses out.
The one best thing in many re-
spects to be said about the National
League is that it has kept it's skirts
clean on the contract matter.
The American Association always
was referred to as minor league by
the National because the price of ad-
mission to the games was based on
quarter OF dollar: But while the
National called the American Associ-
alton a minor league because 1t
charged only % cents, the American
Association countered by describing
the National as one of blue -blooded
aristoeracy" which did not represent
the masses.
In the old days partisans of the
leagues had it hot and heavy and even
the newspa pers entered into the dis
cussions. The American Associa ton.
too. played Sunday. games. while in
the National League Sunday games
were forbidden and they remained SO
until 1880. ~o-r.
Ministers were wont to preach long
sermons indOrsing the National
League In it's stand and decrying- the
American Association, which. with Its
restaurant privileges. they referred to
as q European beer garden started In
the United States to bring on the
continental Sunday.
The National League, by force of
| circumstS noes. had to adopt Sunday
gannes In 1890 to save itself, a nd when
they were adopted there were fans ii,
| the city of Boston who said they
would never patronize another game
of the National Lea que as long as the
circuit played base ball, and possibly
they haven't.
The American Association became
! strong enough and impudent enough
| to break the National agreement and
challenge the National to finish
I! fight, which was short-sighted judg.
ment. and the American Associat ton
be revived again in later years, but
never with the power that 1t once
had. :.
Meanwhile. very early in the history
of base ball as an organized force
! there Wasa little league out In the
Midwest known az the Western Base
Ball. Allia nee. headed by Ted Sullivan,
and out of that circuit, which never
had any real peTma nency; there has
grown much Of the splendid strength
Of the National Association. / 49,:
