| Text | Suit was filed yesterday before ‘Squire Powers, by Charlie Jones, against the Cincinnati Club, as represented by its stockholders, Justus Thorner, Aaron Stern, Geo. Herancourt, Louis Kramer, Victor H. Long, and O. P. Caylor, to recover $133 33 1/3, which amount he claims to be due him under a contract made November 4, 1881, to play with the Cincinnati Club during the season of 1882. The case will be heard on next Tuesday. Cincinnati Gazette May 19, 1882 In the case of Charles W. Jones, the well known base ball player, against the Cincinnati Base Ball Club, before ‘Squire Powers and a jury, for salary claimed under a contract, judgment was given yesterday for the defendants. The evidence was that Jones was to be employed by the club provided he was reinstated in the league, from which he had been expelled. He was advanced $200 to go to Chicago to the annual meeting of the league, but was not reinstated. Then he was to be employed, provided the American Association, to which the Cincinnati Club belongs, agreed, but the latter adopted a resolution not to employ any player who had been expelled from the National League. Jones had also failed to comply with the stipulation of the contract in putting himself in training before the season opened, and the jury gave a verdict as above stated.
