Caption[edit]

Delegates to the Schedule Meeting of the National League and American Association of Base Ball Clubs. Held at the Hotel Rennert, Baltimore, February 25th-27th, 1897. Standing, left to right, E.E. Becker, C. Von Der Ahe, Edward Hanlon, F. DeHass Robison, H.R. Von Der Horst, Jason A. Hart, J.W. Spalding, H.M. Pulliam, Dr. T. Hunt Stucky and Col. J.L. Rogers. Seated, John T. Brush, A.J. Reach, F.A. Abell, N.E. Young, I. E. Wagner, Stanley Robison, and C.H. Byrne.

Context[edit]

The meeting was how to settle the Amos Rusie problem. "After a bitter contract dispute with Giants' owner Andrew Freedman, Rusie responded by publicly thumbing his nose at Freedman. He was fined $200 (he made only $2,500 a year). Rusie refused to play until Freedman returned his money and ended up holding out for the entire 1896 season. It was a fiasco for baseball; fans boycotted and the press railed against the owners. Owners implored Rusie and Freedman to compromise; neither would budge. The holdout was finally settled just before the 1897 season, as the owners collaborated for recoupment of the garnished wages, as well as a $5,000 settlement." (Source: Amos Rusie at Wikipedia)
