Secretary Williams, in a letter to Mr. Pendleton, of the Kenton Base Ball Club, has settled an important point on the use of players in one team who are under contract with another club. The letter says:

“I have decided that no player not under contract is eligible to play in any club, either Association or Alliance, so long as there are enough men under contract to fill the nine of said club. Also, that no club can borrow players under contract with other Association or Alliance Clubs. Both or these decision are indorsed by the President of this Association.”

Under this decision Deagle [the Cincinnati's third pitcher] will no longer pitch for the Shamrocks nor can Sullivan of the St. Louis Club or John Ewing, play with the Grand Avenues.
