Al Myers, Clements, Clarkson, Bennett,
n others are not disposed to tolerate
any indignities that may he attempted by
their former associates O connected
with the Brotherhood, and MIR, Young
holds that frequent meetings and discus
sions between the two factions ear but
result ~unplcasantly for all concerned"

time from the diamond. But for the
Brotherhood lie would probably have
never been given an opportunity TO re-
ment seems to have done him much good
as he is playing splendid ball for the Chi
Cages. He Is one of the finest fieldcrs i'm
the country, a good batter, and clever
b~ase-runner.
