THE REULBAcH CASE
Players Fraternity Says He Has
Been Treated Unfairly

Been Treated Unfairly
The unconditional release by the
Brooklyn National League club OF
Pitcher Edward Reulbaeh, VINO began
his professional career in Vermont
and married a Montpelier girl, is
characterized as another evidence OF
the unfairness of the present waiver
rule as operated by organized base
ball." by President David l.. Fultz,
president of the Baseball Players
Fraternity, in statement issued to
day. President Fultz said he has sub
mitted a request that the national
baseball commission and the national
board of arbitration notify the frater-
nifty when waivers are asked on
players.
Reviewing Reulbachs case, Fultz
says:
ION November 81 last the club Sc
cured waivers on Reulbach and thus
evidenced its intention of not signing
him for 1915. Notwithstanding this
fact, Reulbach was not notified that
waivers had been obtained, or OF the
clubs intention until January ~ this
year, three days before the club, by
the rules of organized baseball,
would either have to send him a
contract or give him his release. On
this day he was released +nnconds-
tionally after all clubs had practically
completed their rosters for the com
ing season.
"All waiver negotiations are con-
Quoted secretly among the owners and
the players know nothing OF what is
taking place, although the transaction
is of vital Importance to them. The
recent instance in which Hugh Jen-
nings was severely reprimanded for
disclosing the fact that waivers had
been asked on Bender, Coombs and
Plank by the Philadelphia Athletics
shows how carefully the owners
guard this information from the pub
lie and players.
I'VE make no comment upon the
Brooklyn clubs motives in this trans
action, but simply say that any regu-
lation which permits man to be held
for months at the will of another
when that other man has already de-
cided not to employ him is vicious
and should be done away with"

MADELEY- -BEECHWOOD
speedy JUNIOR CAME

Probably the fastest junior game
that has been played in this city this
season will be played on Saturday
afternoon when the Madeley second
team will cross bats with the Beech
wood nine. There is great rivalry
among the players of these teams and
as both teams are in the pink of con
dition a great struggle is looked for
ward to. The BecchwoOd team is go
ing at fast clip at the present time
and will make the boys from over the
bridge hustle all the way If they eX-
pect to stay in the running, but Man
ager Mclaughlin of the church team
is of the opinion that his cohorts will
be able TO take care of BeeChwOod
in a creditable way. Beechwood is
under the management of Gross.
whose star work on the mound has
been responsible for the most of the
victories turned in by his team. He
will pitch in the game on Saturday
and expects to stop the clubbing OF
the Madeley aggregation of ball toss
ers. Gross has signed several fast
junior players and they have been
practicing for the coming fray.
Manager Mclaughlin. the hustling
little manager of Madeley. has been
preparing for this game and has sign
ed Fulton and Ruth, both former ALL
Collegians. to play the remaining
games of the season. Fulton will be
used at third. while Ruth will take care
of one OF the outer gardens. He is
product of The Boys City League,
in which he played last season. In this
league he finished on top OF all the
other outer garden men and during
the entire season he had only one er-
ror. The rest of the Madeley team
will be the same as Mclaughlin has
used in the other games played by
Madeley this year.
As both teams have a large band or
followers it is expected that the

Both Hoch and Wallace have another
year at Delaware. DOC" Doherty
has been reelected captain and will
lead the team another year. Doherty's
fielding has been ragged at times
this season, but he has worked hard
and has also been hitting the ball
hard.

What is needed most next year to

weak in this line for several years.

Smith, a 10-second man, who has been

of his heart. If Smith is unable to

team some.

Soon after Jim landed in Father

Then the news that Jim had turned
