Text	[Sam Wise has asked for his release so he can play in Boston] He will not be released. The Cincinnati Club Directors held a meeting last evening, and decided to compel the performance of all contracts with players at whatever cost. President Thorner was authorized to at once employ an attorney in each League city, as well as in New York, to enjoin Wise or any other “revolver” in every city where he may attempt to play ball next season, except with the Cincinnati team. A responsible person as bondsman, also, will be secured in each city, whom the Club will indemnify. If the League will take advantage of weak-kneed players, the American Association, and particularly the Cincinnati Club, will demand the protection of the courts under the contracts. ... Two prominent gentlemen of this city yesterday offered to give their checks to the Cincinnati Club to help defray the expenses of enjoining Wise, or other dishonest players, from playing with League Clubs. Cincinnati Commercial January 19, 1882 The Cincinnatis have engaged the services of a Boston lawyer to fetch the base ball renegade, Wise, up with a jerk in the Courts. The suit will be instituted in Boston as soon as his Cincinnati contract begins to run, which will be next Saturday. An injunction will be secured before May 1. Cincinnati Commercial April 8, 1882 In the suit, tried in Boston, of the Cincinnati Base Ball Club, seeking an injunction restraining Samuel W. Wise from playing with the Boston Club, Judge Nelson dismissed the bill on account of lack of jurisdiction, Wise being a citizen of Ohio. Cincinnati Commercial May 13, 1882
