| Text | There was some lively hustling by the League club managers for some of the Kansas City players in the early part of the day. The Boston people discovered Thursday night that the Kansas City Club would withdraw from the Association and would sell some of its players. Mr. Soden immediately field a claim for the services of short stop Long and fielder Hamilton. On Friday morning, as soon as the Kansas City Club had officially withdrawn from the Association, John I. Rogers put in a claim for the same players, and five other clubs followed suit. Under the rules Philadelphia, by reason of Rogers' acuteness, would have got the players, as the Boston Club's claim was illegal, having been filed while Kansas City was yet a member of the Association. As it is, the League's resolution as to the acquirement of players put the entire business into Mr. Young's hands. It is understood that the Kansas City Club has filed with Mr. Young a schedule giving the names and prices of the player they are willing to sell. In this list, it is said, that Long and Hamilton are put in at $6000 each. |
