| Text | The Jersey City Club, through their manager, J. H. Brown, complain of the action of the management of the Stars of Syracuse in endeavoring to tempt Farrow to desert the former organization by offering him extra inducements. Farrow does not want to leave the Jersey City Club, and the League Club should stop any further attempts to steal a player from a National club. New York Clipper June 21, 1879 The Stars of Syracuse say that they would not take Farrow if he gave his services for free, unless he came to that city with an honorable discharge from his present engagement with the Jersey City Club. New York Clipper June 28, 1879 The morning of the day on which Decker left for Syracuse he was told emphatically by the Brown Stocking officials that he would be held to a strict accountability for his desertion. Secretary Williams of the National Association was at once informed by telegraph that Decker had applied for and had been refused his release, and that his conduct was inexcusable. Through Mr. Williams the Brown Stockings informed the Syracuse Club that Decker was without a release, that the Browns had carried out their part of the contract to the letter, and that they protested against the Stars playing him, all of which seems to have had no effect on the high-minded ‘gentlemen’ who control the affairs of the Syracuse Club.
