[from the column of Albert Mott, “T.T.T”] It is the custom in the American Association for a club to waive claim to the reserved right to the services of a player of “its own” under contract in the Players' League, and this is done “for a consideration” if possible, and without any remuneration if not. The clubs realize on these reserved rights if they can, but the main object is to cripple the Players' League. The players are then approached by every means available, and no efforts are spared to attempt to induce them to violate their three year's contracts and sign others in the Association.
