Excerpt from How to Organize a League, Manage a Team, Captain a Team, Coach a Team, Score a Game, Arrange Signals: Including How to Lay Out a League Diamond, and Technical Terms of Base Ball

Avoid racial or religious rivalry in making up your leagues.

Organizers will easily sense when teams selected are apt to prove congenial, and these points may be safely left to the promoters of the organization.

Often leagues are formed under one roof, as is the case with many large business corporations in the larger cities. In this case the problems of the promoters are greatly reduced, as in almost every instance the house welfare organization will appoint an executive, upon request, who will effect an organization of teams representing the various departments, and evolve a constitution and by-laws to govern the particular needs of the clubs involved.

The growing popularity of leagues of this character seems to warrant the publishing here of a set of by-laws governing a league which has successfully conducted a campaign for several years. This league, which developed in one of our large cities, has operated under a house wel fare organization which was generous enough to supply uniforms for its men and an athletic field for its games. Following are the few rules it has found sufficient to govern its operation and limited business.
