Farrell, History of Bush Leagues By John CHAPTE! is quite true that the earliest m smoothness of the minors of th ussing the National Association an base ball circuit ever gave another in old days was that which the Amer- {ican Association constantly forced upon the National League. It wasn't a bit like the base ball wars that started with. the attempt of 1he Union Assoclation to edge -into the game. Anvhow, the Union began with the | worst kind of a blunder when it in duced plavers to jump their contracts. Invariably this practice ha% resulted in base ‘ball wars and the circuit which started it usually loses out. The one best thing in many re- specta’ to be said about the National League is that it has kept its skirts clean on the contract matter. The American Ascociation always was referred to as a minor league b; the Natlonal hecause the price of ad- mission to the games was hased on a quarter of a -doliar. But while the National called the American Associ- ation a minor league because it | charged only 25 cents, the American Association countered by describing the National as one of “blue.blooded aristasracy” which aid not represent the masses. ¥ In the old days partisans of the leagues had it hot and heavy and even the newspapers entered into the dis- cussions. The American Association, 100, plaved Sunday games, whiie in the . National League Sunday games were forbidden and they remained so unti 1890, Ministers were wont to preach long ‘sermons Indorsing the National League In its stand and decrying'the Amecican Association, which, with its | restaurant privileges, they referrad to as a Kuropean beer garden started in the United States to bring on the continental Sunday. The National League, by force of circumstances, had to adopt Sunday ganes in 1890 to save itself, and’when {they were adopted there were fans in the city of Beston who said they would- never patronize another game |- of the National League 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 Natfonal agreement and challenge the National to a. finish fight, which was short-sighted juds- Yment, and the American Aasociation. passed out of. the world in 1891 to be revived again in later years, but never with the power that it once had. J Meanwhile, very early in'the history of base ball as an organized force. there was-a little league qut in the Midwest known ax the Western Bawe Ball, Allance, headed by Ted Sullivan,- and out of that circuit, whieh never had any real’ permanency; there has grown much of the splendid mnltll of ‘the National Association. -t F‘mldle Welsh;, hrmer llxn(wvum I champion,is. said .to' be the .only vegetarian whe ever won a warid box- ing title. had given up hope | MecManus from the. | secres | so much better circuits than their ancestors.
