In the beginning of the present year John Farrell, a player living in Newark, N.J., signed articles of agreement with the Resoute Club of Elizabeth, N.J., and received moneys at different times for his services as a baseball player for the entire baseball season of 1876. according to the terms of his agreement, he received the full amount of his salary, and on the evening previous to his departure from Elizabeth more money was paid him than he was justly entitled to. Knowing, as he did when he overdrew his salary, that he was to go with the Star Club of Syracuse, N.Y., that same night, he was not only guilty of receiving money falsely, but he broke his contract with the Resolute Club, giving no notice whatever of his going away, and leaving the Resolute Club on the day of a match game with the Louisville Club without a man to fill his position.
