League club. who is on the ineligible
list. continues to belong to the Phila-
delphia club. despite the fact that
the New York American League club
claimed the player for S2,aop when
Philadelphia asked for waivers on
him Such was the ruling of the
national base ball commission here
today in disallowing Philadelphia S
claim for $500 from New York. The
commission in its finding. stated that
subsequent to the New Yorks claim
Bender refused to report to the New
York club and issued statement to
the effect that he would not apply
for reinstatement The commission.
therefore. made the ruling based on
the following four points:
= First-That a waiver request on a
player should not be asked for at
any time, unless such player is in
good standing.
. Second-That Bender was on the
ineligible list and had made no ap-
p.ication to be reinstated.
Third-Because he announced he
would not report to the new. 4 oFh
American League club.
Fourth-That no club should be re-
auired to pay for a players release
at any time when it does not secure
his services
The chairman of the commission.
who decides the case, inasmuch as
it was a dispute between National
and American League club, stated
that in the correspondence on the
case President Johnson of the 'Ameri-
can League agreed with the chair
man, while President Heydler of the
National League did not pass upon
the question of the right OF major
league club to cancel waiver claim
under the conditions set forth in this
finding.
