Ii by that time, President Charles Marston
fails to satisfy n. e, Young that Fall River
intends to comply with the boards finding
in the case of Player Miles Standish, Fall
River will lose the protection OF the national
agreement. President Soden,~ who is
member of the board said yesterday that
while he was very friendly to the Fall River
Club, and especially to Mr.. Marston, yet
the board must request that Fall River live
up to their written agreement with the New
York Club. Early in June President Mars
ton went to New York and made deal for
Pitcher Standish. The conditions were that
Fall River would assume the players
salary for the remainder Of the season in
consideration of his services. Standish was
with the New England Club only short
time when he met with an accident, and
was taken to his home at Montpelier Vt,
where he has remained ever since. When
player is injured while at play his salary
must go on until he has recovered. Mr.
Standsh was paid by the New York Club up
to the Dist Of August when he was released
by them" AS will beseen by the above the
Fall River Club to whom Mr.. Standish was
leased is endeavoring to shirk the RESPONSE
bility of pay .ng his salary during the time
he was injured, which they will undoubt.
eddy be compelled in the end to do.
