| Text | President Hulbert has decided that the Buffalo agreement does not control non-League Clubs. For instance, the Washington Club engaged Snyder, one of Boston's five reserved men. Mr. Hulbert says that if Washington had engaged ten of the reserved players it would not destroy her right to admission to the League. Then the Star Club, of this city, not being a member of the League, can cut loose and engage from among all the League reservation, if they see fit. Cincinnati Enquirer November 4, 1879 Hulbert has informed the Cincinnati people that the agreement entered into in this city [Buffalo] some time ago by the various Clubs did not hold good in their case, and they have therefore endeavored to sign Clapp. Now the Cincinnatis are in an entirely different position from the Albanys or any other outside Club. They have from the beginning announced their intention of taking the place caused by the retirement of the Cincinnati nine, and have signed all of their men under League contracts. The Secretary of the League has, in his regular heralding of the hiring of players, included those secured by the new Cincinnati organization. Now, if this does not practically make them a League nine, the Directors [of the Buffalo Club] would like “Boss” Hulbert to explain. Cincinnati Enquirer November 24, 1879, quoting the Buffalo Express [reporting on the NL meeting] The Clapp controversy was amicably settled, and Secretary Young authorized as to announce his engagement by the new Cincinnati Club.
