| Text | When the Boston team formally disbanded and the men came to make their final settlement they were not paid in full, but a portion of their salary was retained, with the information that a check for the balance would be forwarded to them. Therefore, when the men opened their mail containing the check in payment of their salary in full for the season, attached thereto was also found an interesting legal document, not very lengthy, but straight to the point. This document was in the shape of a formal notice to the player that the Boston Club by virtue of its contract with him, holds an option on his services for next year, and that the club was ready to fulfil its claim to that option by signing him for the season of 1890. ... By sending the check and notice together the directors prevent any attempt on the part of the player to set up a claim, if he should be disposed so to do, that he never received any such notice; for if he received the check he received the notice, and if by any mishap he did not receive the check the omission can be remedied. |
