Washington, Feb. 22.-Clark Griffith
has taken a violent dislike to the Base

no uncertain terms.
When the Federals filed their suit
to dissolve the National Commission,
Dave Fultz. as president of the Play
ers' Fraternity, should have come out
with some such statement as this:
The Players Fraternity is sat
