Text	The Boston players have been notified that after Sept. 30 their services will not be required. They signed a seven months' contract, their salary to be paid in seven monthly installments, which would bring them up to Nov. 1. The Boston club has, however, taken advantage of a clause that exists in a league contract, which enables a club to sever the obligations of a contract at any time by giving 20 days' notice. There is naturally a great deal of grumbling among the players at this step, but it is only another instance showing the unfair, contemptible character of the present league contracts, the framers of which took good care that the management should have the greatest share of advantage, and the players themselves very little.
