' 8hortly after receiving this letter, Chairman Herrmann, as -president -of the Cincinnati baseball club, called the members of the team together and recited to them his version of the con troversy that has arisen. Mr. Herr mann aald: Frltrtmn Over 1 'layer Kraft. "The friction between the National com mission and the baseball players' fraternity has arisen over the decision that sent player Kraft to the Naah vllle class A club. Kraft waa original ly urartea rrom Nashville by Brook lyn, then transferred to the Boston Nationals, and later algned a contract with, the Newark International League club. Naehvlllp immediately put in a ciaim iurniaaerv.tc.ea under section . of what ' I known as the Cincin nati agreement. This provides that any class A player drafted by a ma- Kr leaarcbe-fetalmed Jby itte Wtuw A team from which he was drafted, providing he hi sent back to the minor leagues. This (Section is practically a con- ditlon of section 18. which Mr. Fulti claims we have violated, gectttm II provides that when a player la sent from a maior leagueHo a m tnor lea ru Club, h shall first be offered to class AA for a Mijjulatedjirica and it he. l not wanted there to class A. It ha been my cqntentton that this section does not apply to drafted players and have a letter from Mr. Fulta under date of January 28 in which he says that section 18 shall not apply to drafted player. t suggested" to-Mr.--FoH that this ease be taken uo bv a committee from each" side,' tHi'eshed' ouf and' an amT-1 cable agreement reached. Then, after the haae hall iwason la over,' it It Is; the t desire of the majority of parties con earned- that the Cincinnati agreement be so amended as to Include drafted players Inflection 18. I will be one of me iirei ones 10 vote ror u. "At present with the rule to which Mr. Pa Hi and the fraternlt y' have agreed the commission cannot see its way jjar to award this player to any other club than Nashville. 'o Aifrcomciit In.Contrai L '" in Mr. Fulta letter he stated thSt the agreement Is a part of every play er'a contract. I do not believe this i true and 1 think If you player will go home today and lookt over your con tract you w II) find that there Is noth ing of ttila kind in them. "I have put Ihls-case up, to you in as fair manner as I know how "N'OWlrtiT myacsTfe to know If you boya, member of tha Cincinnati base- no longer consider yourselves under contract to this club after Wednesday. - In all fairness to finer 4..nt to ask yo-Wi Irt irfe krtn w; oy- tomorrow -niKht -ymir necmrorf.
