| Text | Tony Mullane, the pitcher for the Browns last season, signed yesterday with the Lucas-Wainwright club, the consideration being $2,500 and an advance of $500. This offer is a very large one, much larger than the offer of the St. Louis club, which was $1,900. Mullane's action in signing may lead to serious complications. It is one of the regulations among all associations that each club has a right to reserve eleven men at the end of the base-ball season, and no one of the eleven men can sign with another club without the consent of the reserving club. The punishment for violation of the urle is expulsion from the reserving club and the party so acting is debarred from playing with any of the twenty-four clubs embraced in the American association, the League and the Northwestern league. Mullane has according to this rule come under the expulsion clause. The result will be watched with interest by ball players and lovers of the game who do not play. (St. Louis) Missouri Republican November 7, 1883 Jack Gleason has signed with the Lucas-Wainwright club for the coming season, thus violating the reserve rule, he being one of the men reserved by the Louisville club. Gleason was seen a couple of days ago by Dunkelspiel of Louisville, who wanted him to play for a paltry $1,000 during the coming season, and Jack, becoming hot, told the Louisville manager to get to a place that was hotter.
