The New Yorker, September 30, 1933 P. 11

Bitter thing in publisher's life is way authors leave him and go to some other publisher. NRA gives publishers chance, and best model to follow is probably that of organized baseball. Even ball clubs don't succeed in keeping one set of players forever, but when player goes to another club he is sold to it and former owners get cash payment. How much less hard feeling there would be among publishers if they handled authors this way. In baseball player has no say as to which club he plays for. This might be difficult with authors at first, but baseball has found it's the only way that will work.
