feel sure that he would have gotten

plan 'or the good OF the organization.
Harmony will be the keynote of the
session next week. I am Of the opinion
that the gathering will be a record
breaker for unanimity. The league Is
going 20 stick together for moves for
the general good OF the old union. We
have good circuit, and the prospects
for next year could not be better. l

organization which took so many of it's
players.
On arriving home the Pittsburg owner
found letter from Colonel Rogers. OF
the Philadelphia Club. saying that he
regretted inability to attend next weeks

Mr.. Dreyfuss was positive that the
