[from an interview of Hulbert] Before a contract was offered to Goldsmith by the Chicago Club it was ascertained beyond question tha6t he had no contract with the Troy Club. This we learned both from his own statement and the fact that no notice of his engagement with Troy had ever been received by the Secretary of the League. He was simply eking out the season at Troy, playing for so much per game. He was one of the five men named by Troy for reservation, but illegally named, for the resolution expressly provided for the reservation of players then under contract, and no others. Goldsmith, not being under contract to the Troy Club, could not be reserved, and the Club was notified by Secretary Young, and acknowledged its error by dropping Goldsmith and naming somebody else.
