National Commission Releases seven
Players Loaned to Minor clubs.

CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 1S.-The course
pursued by the Cleveland American eague
cluO IN transactions involving seven players
Is Irregular and in violation of the national
agreement, according 10 a decision handed
down by the National Base Ball commission
today and the players will be subject to
club.
The decision of the commission is as fol-
lows:
During the last season. the Cleveland
club filed agreements with the commission
that appeared to be in proper form and
were approved by the commission as fol-
lows, all Of them being sales OF certain
players belonging to said club with OPP
with Akron for players william lille.
William Speas and Dick Breen.
with Nashville for players Jacob Daub-
ert and H. E. Bay,
with Columbus for Otto Hess.
with Toledo for Arthur Pruitt.
with Portland for player G. G. Graney.
Each Of the agreements with the excep-
ton of the case of Player Speas started
with reference to the consideration as
follows:
edged meaning that the respective minor
clubs had been paid the consideration
named in the agreements. Last week the
Cleveland club notified the commission
that it desired to exercise its options 10
recall all Of these players and rendered
in payment certain notes that K had
received from the various minor league
clubs involved, when the players were sold
to them. All Of these notes were promis-
sorry ones becoming uue between the l0lll
and Goth Of Angus of this year. None OF
them bears interest and the time Of each
was determined by the time that the agree
ment for the particular player was entered
into. The notes were not placed in bank
for collection, but were simply cancelled
by the Cleveland club and the commission
is requested to return them TO the respec-
tive clubs interested.
The course pursued by the Cleveland
club In these various transactions Is ir-
regular and cannot be approved by the
commission and for that reason all of
the agreements above referred to are now
set aside and the players involved will be
subject to purchase or draft in the future
by any club in accordance with the rules
OF the national commission. There can be
no question but that the agreements re-
ferred to are in violation OF the national
agreement and are all clearly a case OF
farming.
The Cleveland club is hereby called on
for an explanation to show cause why a
penalty should not be inflicted against
Il for this action, as well as all of the
minor league clubs involved
The commission refused the application
for a re-hearing of the claim OF the vii
Transport club, of the Tri-state league,
against the st. Louis National leagu club
relative to players Charles, Delehanty and
Sallee.
some time ago the commission rejected
the claim Of the Williamsport club for
Z these .DlaVeTs.
