[reporting on the NL meeting] The resolution offered by Mr. Day at the New York meeting was taken from the table and adopted. It is as follows:

Resolved, that no league club shall at any time employ or enter into contract with any of its reserved players who shall, while reserved to any such club, play with any other club.

This action makes players liable to expulsion for playing with non-league clubs when reserved by league teams. Although general in application, it will soon demonstrate whether Dunlap of the Clevelands and Shaffer of the Buffalos intend to play with those clubs or with the Union association, with which they are reported to have signed.
