| Text | To those unacquainted with the text of the rules it would look as though Tony Mullane and Jack Gleason, to use a common expression, had gotten themselves into a bad box by signing contracts with the new St. Louis Club. Such is not the case, however, as neither one of the men has broken any of the rules of the American Association, and therefore they can not e black-listed or suspended. The tripartite agreement entered into by the three associations makes no restrictions whatever against the players, but is simply a binding agreement between the clubs in the different associations to protect each other's interests. Its restrictions are simply confined to the club, and provide that neither of the clubs shall negotiate with or sign a player included in the reserve list of another team. Not a single word is said in regard to a reserved player who should be approached, and it is difficult to see how any one can be punished for the violation of a rule that was never in existence. |
