The Brockton players who remained in
the city say they have no fault to find
with Manager Burnham for the position
In which they find themselves, except In
one particular. They believe that those
who were said TO have promised assis-
tance at the close of the season, should
any be necessary, ought to have been
called upon to pledge themselves In
black and white. One Of the players
said last night: "I can tell you POSI-

these men who we're to help out had put
their signatures to an agreement to make
good what was due us az the close of the
season. We all wanted to go or, fer we
