Text	[from W. I. Harris's column] Mr. Ward is not worried about Colonel Rogers' point as to the League's legal ability to hold the players for another year, under section 18 of the players' contract. Mr. Ward says that Mr. Rogers' point is merely Mr. Rogers' legal opinion, and that Mr. Rogers has frequently been mistaken in his law. Mr. Ward asserts that the Brotherhood has legal advice, and the best, too, and that Colonel Rogers is wrong. Ward says the question rests entirely on what is meant by the word reserve. He substantially admits that the players could be reserved another year against any club playing under the National Agreement but he holds that it would not be binding if the players, was in a league not under the protection of the National League. He says that the reserve means simply against National Agreement clubs.
