President Ussery's First Bulletin

Every player who participates in a
Blue Grass League game of ball next
season, will have to haveg- affixed his
signature to contract with the club
with which he is playing, otherwise
the game will be liable TO protest.
Many clubs played men nearly all of
last season with whom they did not
have contracts, so that this new rule
will cut quite figure next season.
DIR. w. G. Ussery, the new President
of the league, has written to all of the
clubs in the league calling their atten-
tion to this rule. DR.. Ussery writes
Il am in receipt of official bulletin
No. for 1910 copy of which is here
with enclosed. The secretary of the
National Association calls my attention
to article Is, which was adopted at the
recent Memphis meeting of the Nation
al Association, and requests me to call
the particular attention of ,club presi-
dents and managers to the same arti-
Gle. As you u'will see by reading the
notice player who has not signed
contract is Ineligible to participate in
even one game without the game be-
shall is used, which makes it manda-
tOAy upOIl IAC pdIL VI Iuc executive
officer, which officers in our league are
the directors and president, that all
such games shall be thrown out if won
by the offending club, but allowed to
stand if lost. In addition to the pen
atty. the player who has not signed a
contract before taking part in the
game is invited to appeal to the Ma
tional Board for his unconditional re-
lease. This rule seems to prohibit our
practice the past season of using a
player as long as fifteen days without
signing him tOssa contract.
The National Secretary also directs
me to inform all clubs to promptly
send all contracts. transfers and re-
leases direct to him.
The assessment of December /,
was due December Is On January Is,
1910 the constitutional assessment of
$25 will be levied. Don't let the two
run together.
Yours very truly.

Demand for Recount on Good
Road" Amendment.

Mutterings of discomfort on the part
of the leading politicians in the Wes-
tern Kentucky counties have reached
Frankfort over the result of the count
ing of the vote on the Good Roads"
amendment TO the constitution. That
a contest will be fled before the Leg
islature or legal battle sprung in the
Courts seems almost certain, and the
bone Of contention will be the vote in
Graves county.
The desire of the Western Kentucx-
ians is that the decision of the Elec-
tion Commission be set aside and the
vote of Graves and the other counties
that went against the amendment be
counted, and that the vote of some of
the mountain counties that went so
overwhelmingly for the bin be investi-
gated.
The general opinion prevails al

vote overwhelmingly in favor of the
amendmentsof the constitution and the
