Late Manager Riggs Bank Baseball Team
The subloined clipping brings the American Sc
cur1ty protest 20 a close. With reference 10 the
resignation Of Riggs manager our answer 10 this
charge has been stated, and again appeal 20 the
commission on this point, as hereinbefore stated
with specific reference 20 the section Of the consti
tution quoted. Il is only natural that when team
resigns the entire body should be simultaneously
notified and have opportunity TO procure what
players they from the retiring team. Any other
holding would be on its face an unfair proposition

play as decided at the beginning Of the season
