Date	Wednesday, September 23, 1885
Text	[an interview of Nick Young] I received a dispatch from Buffalo stating that the Buffalos had released certain players and that the Detroits had engaged them. I immediately telegraphed to the officers of both organizations that their action was contrary to the Saratoga Agreement, which was to the effect that both the American and League clubs should not negotiate or contract with any player now under engagement with any League or American club prior to Oct. 20, 1885. Such an agreement certainly stands in the way of any such transfer as has been stated, and if the officers of these two clubs have violated the agreement they must answer for it. The Sporting Life September 23, 1885. [N.B. The absence of any mention of the ten day rule suggests it had been abolished at Saratoga.]
