 Cincinnati, June 27.- President Herr mann of the Cincinnati club addressed a long letter to President Pulham of the National league yesterday in which he said in part:
 "As Important matter as the Da- wis case being in your hands for seven days, should at least have been sub mitted to your employers before any final action was taken by you with re spect thereto, especially so if your ac- tion was directly opposite to your ex- pressed views on this same matter on the very night that the so-called peace compact was agreed to by our league. We, cannot and will not agree with you that. the peace compact has, been violated by the American league on account of its transfer of Elberfeld from Detroit to New York, both Amer ican
 I've understood, we believe all of the clubs did, at the time the peace agreement was ratified by our league that all awarded players belonged to and were the property and asset of the club to which they were awarded.
 Smith awarded to theHNew York Nationals. was by them turned over to the Detroit Americans. Tn return, Gleason of Detroit. awarded player, goes to the New York Nationals, and then by them is sent to Philadelphia. Mcclure, awarded to Brooklyn, is now with the Detroit Americans. .'The Pittsburg Nationals released several players to Philadelphia. Near ly all clubs have made changes, No protest was entered by you or any club that we know of.
 "Did the New York club at any time during the peace conference claim to have legal ccsatract with Elberfeld? Do you not know, do not all of us know, that Brush admitted that he had not? And if in doubt about this, could you not get the exact facts With respect thereto?
 ''In conclusion. the New York club | is scheduled in Cincinnati for July II, | 13 and IA. Our understanding of the peace compact with regard to Davis has been expressed. We etand by | that peace compact, and, therefore, request you to inform the New York 1 club that if it is its intention to play l Davis while in Cincinnati during that period, an announcement of mo game l will be made to the public unless a l majority of the clubs of our league shall decree otherwise before that l time"
