|Title=Latham sold without going through waivers
|Text=<p>Latham, whose demands for money increased in proportion to the decrease of his ability to play ball, became so violent at last that he was released by Comiskey.  He tried to work the Chicago team as he did St. Louis—to be always in debt to the club from $500 to $1,000.  This, the Chicago men would not stand and Latham was released.  Von der Ahe immediately began negotiating for the sale of the dude's release and without asking the other Association clubs to waive their claims, Latham was sold to Cincinnati for $25,00, $500 of which it is reported Latham obtained.  When the Athletics and Louisville protested against the sale the boss calmly said that both clubs had waived claim to Latham a year ago when he was on the market.  The sale is going to cause trouble, for both Sharsig and Whittaker have blood in their eye.  They wanted Latham themselves, and so did President Parsons, of Louisville.  The customary ten days did not lapse and altogether it looks as though the national agreement sustained a violent wrench.</p>
