ed as the result of Murphy s action in hiring Henry ODay as manager of the Cubs before he legally released sEvers from the same position At special meeting of the board of directors and the National league as a whole, that body of TnagnateS decided that EEerS had not resigned, as contended by Murphy, and that his five year contract | IS manager and player was valid and binding. The league further agreed to take over all rights and respensfbili- ties under the contract, thus helping Murphy out of an embarrassing posi- ton.
 The Boston club immediately entered into d contract with Murphy to trade Infielder w. J. Sweeney and Pitcher Hub Perdue for Evers, but the latter declared that he would not be d party 70 the contract. He insisted that un- less arrangements acceptable to him were made he would sign with the Federal league, which, he stated, had made him & liberal proposition for three years of play, including a cash bonus to be delivered upon the signing Of contract
 Evers stated emphatically that he had no grievance against the Boston club, or the National league as whole, and in fact told President James E. Gaffney of the Bostons that he would rather play with that team than the Federa1s. His refusal to be a party to the deal, he declared. was because of the fact that if the trade were effected, Murphy, against whom he is extremely bitter, would secure two valuable players, thus profiting by the move, something that Eyers is de- termined he should not do.
 The Boston club exDresSed it's will ingnesS to assume the full provisions of Evers two contracts, which call for a total payment of s10,0 900 a year, with four years yet to run. AS player he received S6,000 from the Chicago club and $4,000 additional as manager.
