| Text | The loaning of [Gil] Hatfield by the New York (P.L.) Club to the Bostons for the purpose, it is claimed, of taking the place of Irwin at short until the latter recovers is quite likely to make trouble in the Players' League. Hatfield left on Wednesday night for Boston. Ward, of the Brooklyn Club, protests against the action of the New Yorks, claiming that it is illegal, and every game that Hatfield plays with Boston Ward says he will protest, and he is satisfied he can have the games thrown out. If Hatfield should be regularly released and signed by the Bostons, then it would be all right. The Sporting Life July 12, 1890 [reporting the PL special meeting of 7/17/1890] Ward's protest against counting the Boston-Pittsburg games of July 10, 11, 12, in which Hatfield—a New York player “loaned” to Boston—participated was then 6taken up, and after thorough consideration the games were declared illegal, thrown out of the record, and ordered to be played over again. It was found that the constitution positively prohibited the “loaning” of players by clubs, or the playing of such players unless regularly transferred and released. It is the intention of the League to stamp out everything that may open the door to irregularities or anything suggestive of hippodroming. The Sporting Life July 19, 1890 |
