Text | Phil Reccius will probably be released to the Cleveland Club, where he is wanted to guard third base. Manager Kelly says that he has no particular need for Reccius, and that it would be doing him an injustice to keep such an excellent player on the substitute list. Reccius, however, swears that he will not play with the Cleveland team, and says that he would rather be a substitute on the Kentucky club. The price for his release has not been agreed upon, but the deal will probably be made. Phil's best work has been done for the Louisville Club, and he hates to leave it. He has many friends in this city who hold that he ought to be retained. The club can retrench expenses, however, by his release, and this is the principal reason for the transfer.
