PLAYERS REPLY.
Ward, Swing and Andrews Answer the Leagues
Addrsss-Thsy Rsnis the Hagnates
silly Chrgs-Gansral Sports

CINCINNATI o., November p A spa
elal COMMITTEES OF the Brotherhood Of Base
Ball Players, Messrs. Ward, Ewing and
Andrews, after an all-day session at the
Grand Hotel, issued the following address:
To tle Public
Ii anything further were necessary to
show the desperate state Of mind into
which the old League magnates have
fallen, this last appeal TO the public has
furnished il. In its statements Of facts,
il Is the weakest and in its mistate-
mepts the strongest Of any yet issued.
Asser claiming credit for things with which
thew individually have had absolutely
nothing 70 do, ihe7 launch forth on 8 sea
of assertions, compared to which the so
called Rlittering geuer alitise Of the Broth
erhOod are mere mill pond.
TIKI LEAGUE PAST ITS USEFULNESS.
Without questioning the services render
I'd bv the old League, or stopping to in
ouirs how far the course has been prompt
"a by selfish interests, the players still be-
Hsve that its days OF usefulness
have gone; that it has fallen into
the hands OF men who look more
10 their personal interests than to the good
of the game. When they attempted to
make money at the sacrifice Of the dignity
of the game and "a the sacrifice OF the
pleyer's rights as a man, they went too
I far A system which contemplates
the sale Of players future services
il stooiuiouitous and un-AmerieAn 10 stand
howsver dear TO the hearts Of magnaies
The League Committee has taken paini
to point out how much the players owe tC
the Leaque, but omitted Il
mention how much they themselves
OwE To THE PLAYERS.
The ease with which they skim over to-
, origin and intention Of the "reserye rule
. and its supposed present necessity woui'
. be refreshing were il not so evident
ly intended to mislead. What mad
that rule necessary Was no
the unscrupulons vandalism OF the may
mates themselves and their unWilhngnes
10 trust one another AS it'd author, a
D. e.. Mills has said, il was intended 4
/ take the robber manager by tl'
thrsat and make him keep hi
hands Oh of the players IN an associate
club. The power this rule gave was use'
in the most mercenary way and the asser
ton by the committee tina. no play has
ever been Transferred without bis consent
is brazsnly false.
No SALE IN The BROTHERHOOD
The assertion that the new Lssgue pro
poses to transfer players without their con
lent is either mistake or wilio
misstatement, ana when the terms o.
his contract has expired he Is a.
perfect liberty sgsin TO 70 where he viii
and uothiug 10 the constitution Of the new
Lesgue OF in his contract attempts to de
privs him Of this right. We have no re
serve rule" no arbitrary 81 OOl
limit rule" only one contract
and the fall salary writer
in il. nolhing which ercrOachss upon the
players natural rights, and when he goe
from one club to another his consent IL
not forced and no price is passed.
Signed.

previous. For the corresponding week last
