RS and in an other things The drIns-
ion is whether any club or any league
,lavcr which whom tha work ar f,yht
rider was issued. served the nlayers
with notices of release in order to
stop salaries Immediately. The majors
almly claim that these PLAYERS are
he property of the club which rcIeas-
ed them. That probably is the best
way out of the muddle, provided the
huh desires to reasSume the contracts
hat were broken. but it may seem
Inherent Tor club which does not
desire the services OF the man so re-
.eased TO cialm to own him and re-
serve me flSht to sell MIN.
