GLASSCOCK is A JUDAS.
He Gives the Players Brother
hood a Cold Deal,


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 20.-The
uncertainty surrounding the conference
between President Brush and Manager
Glasscock was cleared up to-day when
it became definitely known that the lat
ter had formally allied himself with the
home club for the ensuing season and
had taken a commission from President
Brush to visit all the league cities and
endeavor to wean the players from their
allegiance to the brotherhood. In
the conference between the two. Brush
secured a copy of the brotherhood
contract, which GlasscOck had unsigned
in his pocket, and this is being used to
show the weak points under which the
players will labor should they adhere to
the brotherhood. 1t is understood that
GlaSscock has commission from the
league managers, secured through
Brush's influence, to mingle with the
brotherhood players and secretly in
duce as many of them as possible to
abandon their contracts and
SIGN WITH THE LEAGUE.
Buck Ewing. of the New York club,
is here ana says frankly that he is here
to prevent the Indianapolis players

sible. He has arranged for confer
ence of players, which is expected to be
held tomorrow forenoon. John Ward
and Arthur Irwin will arrive here to-
morrow morning at 4 o'clock. and other
brotherhood men, Ewing says, may be
here. Last night Boyle and Ewing had
a conference, but neither would say
definitely what the result of it was.
Ewing says some very harsh things about
Glasscock. ''GlasscOck is traitor"
said to-day. -"We are not disappointed
though, for Nc expected him to desert
us. Still we thought he might have
known enough to remain with the
Brotherhood. He was one of the first
men to object to the way the players
were treated by the league, and when
the Brotherhood was first suggested
he was one of the first to indOrse the
movement. Now he is the first man to
turn traitor"
