Text | Last Tuesday the [Cincinnati] team assembled at headquarters and were formally turned over to Team manager Fulmer and Field Captain Snyder by the President. Fulmer's office is purely executive. He has been provided by the club with a very comprehensive and liberal set of rules to govern the players, and he has nothing to do but to see that the rules are all obeyed. The rules are not stringent, because the men are not of the kind that need strict discipline. The largest latitude is left to them, the rules merely defining certain duties for general conformity. The business management of the Club remains entirely in the hands of the President, Secretary, and Directors. Captain Snyder will have exclusive control of the men while at play and practice in saying who shall play and how they shall play. He will coach the men and be absolute in his authority at such times. There is no chance for him and Fulmer to clash in their authority, so clearly is the line of both laid out by the rules. |
