The frantic efforts of the men who

from under D. A. Fletcher are pretty well
shown IN a two-column article in the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. 1t is

The appended extracts are from the

members Of the all-star National and

the suggestion CT their various employers
/ by returning these drafts to the hackers

promoter OF the tour, Fletcher, 10 con-

There is every reason 10 believe that

set for the beginning Of tho all-star tour.
and that Fletcher, who originally planned
the enterprise, Is advising them 10 have
their checks cashed as soon as they ar
rive and are informed that the games viii
not be played.
II Is plain that Fletcher's attitude in
the matter Is that Of a man seeking self
gain. for there could be no other object
IN his persistent agitation Of the alleged
rights Of the players in the case, unless
it was TO benefit him. The future OF
these players. so far as organized base
ball is concerned, evidently is Of no

RESOLUTIONS.

inventories of habits, bills of sale
of morals, pages of good intentions
for new year, and the turning over
of a new leaf by everybody, have all
been made for 1910 Thus another
twelve-month of rectitude has been
tackled up on the wall of resolutions.
In olden days resolutions for being
good were made to begin on New
Years. Generally they lasted till the
next week-about long enough to re
cover from the festivities of calling
upon those who kept open house, and
who did not hesitate to set out the
punch-bowl to callers. Happily the
New Years punch-bowl is thing of
the past, as a general demoralizing
agent. Just why it so long existed
as factor in human misery is diff
cult of solution, except on the basis
