| Text | [a resolution of the AA] That, upon the release of a reserved player from his contract with any American Association club, in accordance with section 5 of the National Agreement, the services of such player shall be exclusively subject to the American Association club that shall within ten days from the date of said release signify in writing or by telegraph to the secretary of the Association its desire to secure the services of said player. Any eligible player, however, who shall at any time subsequent to his release express his desire or willingness, in writing or by telegraph, to contract with any American Association club, shall be subject exclusively to said club, who may at once contract with said player and play him in its team. The club availing itself of such services shall forthwith notify the secretary of the Association of its contract with said player, and notice thereof shall at once be transmitted to all other association parties to National Agreement. If more than one Association club signifies a desire to secure the services of a released player within the said ten days and no written or telegraphic assent of said player to contract with either of the clubs be filed with the Association, then the president and secretary of this Association shall determine which of said clubs shall be entitled to said player's services. The signing by a released player of any written or telegraphic assent to contract with more than one Association club, or his refusal to execute a contract in accordance with his written or telegraphic assent so to do, or his refusal to execute a contract in accordance with his assignment under this resolution within ten days, shall subject said player to the penalty of being blacklisted, satisfactory proof of his guilt being furnished the Board of Directors. In the event of said player not being blacklisted, the club to whom his assent was first given shall have exclusive control of his services. |
