TO this Mir. Young replied as follows:
please promulgate your contracts
through Mr.. Woodall. your secretary. and
have him furnish evidence Of your con-
tracts with Brooks AMI Myers, giving
their fun names and YOU VIII be sure
~ justice II you have The first claim 10
to players"
Mr. Donoghuc. OF the Altoonas. was not
satisfied that We had protection and tele-
praphed Mr.. Young from Norfolk as fol-
lows:
"Is the Virginia state League under
/ protection of the national agreement
! He received the following answer from
Mr. Young:
"They have full protection under M
tional agreement. Glass p. Same as the
/ Pennsylvania league"
This will show that the Petersburg
/ club is amply protected. and that the

! city to play ball. OF else h. dcharred
/ the privilege Of playing ball anywhere.
