Thursday, November 3rd

IN THE NEWS: The AA elects H.D. McKnight as its president. It votes to honor the National League blacklist in the case of drunkenness but not to abide by the NL reserve clause. The new league will rely on home gate receipts, visiting teams getting just a $65 guarantee on the road, as opposed to the NL's policy of giving 15˘ from each admission to the visitors. The AA will allow Sunday games, liquor sales, and 25˘ tickets, all prohibited by the NL.
