Protective association
from the severe test on

ened, strengthened and triV
is true the association suffd
reverses and humiliations AM
to achieve all it set out to accom-
nevertheless it was more than pass
successful. Without trucking to
favoring any organization, and with
the single purpose of conserving the
interests of the association in partic-
ular and all the players in general
it hewed resolutely to the line no mat
ter where the chips fell. AS result
it secured some valuable concessions
from the leagues absolutists, COM
PEELED recognition by that naughty
body, proved that mere players can
make and hold combination, and dem
onstrated fully that the players are
valuable factors in the national game,
not to be lightly set aside or overrid-
den with impunity Most important Of
all, from the players standpoint, the
association demonstrated it's value to
each and every player, and thus as
sured it's own perpetuation. Hence
forth the association will grow stronger
and become a powerful permanent fac
tor in baseball, which will always have
to be reckoned with.
These splendid results, achieved in
one short year, are due to the patience
and loyalty Of the players and the
skill, intelligence, resourcefulness and
disinterestedness of the leaders-par-
ticularly Messrs. Taylor, thinner and
Jennings. The most striking tribute
to the sagacity of these leaders is the
fact that though defeated, Inundated
and placed in false position at the
start, they managed by conservative
shrewdness to recover lost ground and
prestige, to compel the magnates to re-
verse themselves, to secure nearly all
they originally asked for; and, at the
finish, to give the league little of its
own humiliation medicine" by un-
loading upon .. that transparency in
nocuous order to the players, which
has no binding force or deterrent eff
feet upon any individual member, pro-
vides no permanent penalty and de-
ponds for its ratification upon the as
ISOLATION 'as body" This body can
be trusted not to expel a member for
attempting to better his condition and
increase his income-objects that the
organization practically was created
and lives for; or, if it suspend, to re-
instate at it's own pleasure. All things
considered. if fitness be the test of
survival the Players association has
fully demonstrated it's right to exist
in the same sphere as the formerly
omnipotent league magnates.

THE OLD COUNTRY BAND.

JOHN L. sHRoY.
l mean the band of olden times when you and /
were boys;
When music, to be sweet to us, must drown all
other noise.
When martial airs entranced our ears and every
feeling fired:
When uniforms with golden braid were all our
hearts desired.
oh, how those fellows marched about on every
holiday!
The Square was filled with music sweet, the
streets with bright array.
The town folks stood upon their steps, the coun-
try folks, discreet,
With horses prancing 10th etunes, drove up some
other street.
The boys? Well, you can easy guess-we shall
not try to hide it,
Whenever that old band was out, we fellows
marched beside it.
We kept the step the bandmen did, and kept it
quite rs well
And always held our corner up when it was time
to yell.
Perhaps they made some dscords-perhaps the
slide horns blew
About three times as strong and loud as they by
right should do;
Perhaps the cymbals didn't clang exactly with
the bass
Perhaps the "B-nats" missed some notes and
footed out ofplace.
But what cared we when we were boys?-to our
uncultured breast
The Girl Left Behind Me was as good as Sousa s
best;
Our little backs would straighten up, our thoughts
would soar away
The acma of our earthly bliss-to play horn
some day.
I've heard full many bands since then, and paid
to get seat;
I've heard them play their loudest airs and softly,
sadly, sweet;
But never has my being thrilled with rapture
more complete
Than when / heard old Strawsburg Band go
marching down the street.
