| Text | The International Association Judiciary Committee had a hearing in the case of Wm. H. Craver, who was expelled by the Louisville Club, and after a careful deliberation decided that he was dealt unjustly with, and have reinstated him. The Haymakers, of Lansingburgh, N.Y., presented affidavits, one from C. M. Wellington, cashier of the Manufacturers’ National Bank of Troy, and a director of the Haymakers, stating that he had applied to the League to reopen the case, and they had refused to; also one from Craver stating that he played fairly last season. Mr. Haldeman, president of the Lousiville, sent word that Craver was not guilty of crooked playing, but was expelled for indiscretions off the ball field, and that the Louisville directors had no desire to protest against Craver being reinstated. The judiciary committee thought if Craver was guilty of the offenses charged, the Lousivilles ought to have taken action when the alleged offence too place (which was in August), and not waited until the day before Craver’s time expired. It was very evident to the committee that Craver was dealt with unjustly. His reinstatement is a great pleasure to his many friends in Troy. New York Sunday Mercury July 7, 1878 [Craver played both games of Troy’s July 4 doubleheader.] A letter was received, says a Troy journal, from the Secretary of the International League stating that Craver had not been re-instated, and therefore he could not play with the Haymakers until some official action had been taken in his case. The managers of the club, acting under the advice of the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, allowed him to play in two games, but were obliged to withdraw him, and they now await the action of the League, which it is expected will be favorable. New York Sunday Mercury July 21, 1878 Our Troy correspondent says: The Judiciary Committee (or at least a majority of them) of the International Association have reinstated Craver to full membership in the association. On Aug 7 Manager Dauchy received the following telegram from Secretary Williams: Mr. C. H. Dauchy: I congratulate you. Craver is reinstated. Will notify all clubs to-day. Williams. |
