their checks In advance will be permitted
to cash in the checks and enjoy the benefit
OF a lot of easy-earned cash.
Z The checks, Fletcher says were given the
players in good faith. and they were ac-

checks, and, as the players were prevented
from playing by circumstances over which
they had no control, no effort will DO made
TO prevent them cashing the paper. The
checks vary from $500 to $1,000 and amounts
ed to a. total Of exceeding $4,000. It was
rumored In sporting circles that Fletcher
would pay this checks and then sue tho ma
