| Text | [Albany vs. Baltimore 5/10/1880] The home-team had apparently won, when the Albanys in the ninth inning, by a few timely hits and the aid of the approaching darkness, succeeded in wresting the victory from their opponents' grasp. Daily's pitching was very unsatisfactory, and resulted in his suspension for thirty days, until an investigation can be made. New York Clipper May 22, 1880 The Baltimore Club at a special meeting held on May 14 dishonorably dismissed Daly for cause. No charges were brought against him for alleged crookedness in the Baltimore-Albany game of May 10. New York Clipper May 22, 1880 maintaining discipline Since the suspension of Brown by the Bostons there has been considerable talk among the fraternity in regard to the length of time such suspension can be enforced—that is, they argue that the act of suspension can be rescinded at the pleasure of the club directors; but the League officials do not interpret the rule that way. They state the case thus “officially” through their secretary: Washington, D.C. May 1.--W.A. Hulbert, President National League.--Sir: Mr. Louis J. Brown is suspended for the remainder of the playing season. N.E. Young, Secretary. By this document Brown is literally thrown out of employment as League player in any club—and, for that matter no National club can employ him either—for the entire season. The fact is as stated by a Chicago paper, viz., that under the League Constitution Brown's disability can only “be removed on appeal to the League directors, and can only be heard by them at a regular annual meeting. There is, therefore, no earthly chance for the reinstatement of any player disciplined by his club under Sec. 3 of Art. X until the playing season is ended. The League is in better shape than ever before to enforce this penalty, for there are many experienced and serviceable players not yet under engagement, and there is hardly a League club in the country that is not in receipt of applications from such players.” New York Clipper May 22, 1880 |
