Another organization Of hall PLAYERS
Of the American League, Is an affl-
lated body of the Players Fraternity,
is in the course of forma ation.
The latest body is said to be strongly
sanctioned by Ban Johnson and the
principal argument that is being Of
fered by those who are promoting the
movement is that it will keep the Amer
lean Leaguers aloof from the numerous
sQuabbles of the National League. II
is being represented that there is more
peace in the American than in the older
circuit and that by such A union as is
proposed il would be possible for the
American players to fight out their
own troubles without being drawn into
such controversies as the Kraft case
that threatened at one time TO hiring on
a general strike in major baseball:
Griffith favors the proposed scheme
as he thinks that it would be more ia
vorable to both the players and the
magnates in the league over which Ban
johnson presides.
In addition TO the regulars Griffith
will take to New York three catchers
and Johnson, Ayers, Shaw, Harper. and

The morning game on Monday against
the Athletics will start at 1890 o'clock.

Tomorrow the Athletics will open a
series at Boston with the Red SoX.
Since starting their sensational win
ming streak on July II, the Mackmen
have won thirty-nine and lost but six
games and today they hold an ad-
vantage of twelve and one-half games
over their nearest rivals in the pennant

declined to book exhibition games on

that marks the opening of their final

With the Boston Red SoX going along
ct the speed that earlier in the season
carried them from the ruck almost TO
the top, Detroit profting greatly
through their stay in the East, the Chi
cago White Sox showing considerably
more class than was expected, the Ma
tionals' position now is anything but
secure.
The chasm between Washington and
second place has widened to such an
extent that nothing short of heroic
advance will ever regain the Nationals
