If any League player shall conduct " himself in such a way as shall be detri- mental to the game, the manager of the f club to which he belongs shall suspend

him from the game, and shall report said

& suspension, with his reasons therefore, to the League President, whose duty it & shall be to call a meeting of all the man- agers, and take such action against said & player as they deem necessary.

If any manager shall at any time show il favoritism to any player or players, or should in any way cause dissension

‘dhamong the players, a protest can be filed |

Wednesday April 2, 1913

with the managers, (provided it is signed by at least two-thirds of the members of the team ), and if the protest of the players is upheld, said manager shall be depos- ed by the President. If at any time any manager is deposed for any reason, it shall be the duty of the President of the League to assign a player from the team, to act as manager, until the members of the club shall elect a new manager.

If any player shall refuse to play any position to which his manager shall as- sign him, or shall in any way work against his own team, such manager shall suspend such player; and said player can appeal to the President in writing within two days, and it shall then be the duty of the President to call a meeting of the managers to act on such appeal from suspension. Any player who is

| sick, suspended, or for any reason not

able to play, shall stay in his cell until such disability is removed. Any player who shall be ordered from any game by

'an umpire, shall for the first offense be

suspended for one week, for the second offense, one month, and for the third offense for the balance of the season. All umpires shall be under the direct supervision of the President. Any man- ager or vmpire who desires to resign his position, can not resign until he has given the President at least one week’s notice of such resignation. Any mana- ger or umpire who resigns without giv- ing such notice to the President, shall suffer the same punishment as a sus- pended player.

The above rules or regulations being approved by the 'Warden, must be obeyed to the letter, and any League Officer who shall neglect to enforce these regu- lations, will answer to the Warden, and will be prohibited from witnessing or playing any games at his discretion.
