| Text | The agreements given by the Cleveland players to the Brooklyn Club are worthless, and every one of the men are on the market now, free to accept the proffer of an American, League or Union Club. At the last meeting of the American Association a strict rule was adopted on this subject on account of the Mullane case. It is herewith appended, and any one by reading it will readily see the force of the above remarks: “Any club, officer or manager who shall, during the ten days intervening between the dates of a player's release and the date of his eligibility to contract, as provided for in the National Agreement, induce any player to sign any stipulated agreement, or to make or to pretend to make any oath, affirmation or affidavit to a promise tending to evade the spirit or the letter of what is known as the ten-day rule of the National Agreement, shall be fined in the sun of (blank) dollars, said sum to be fixed by the Board of Directors. |
