LOYAL TO THEIR FRATERNITY
Players on Washington Club, Headed
by Catcher John Henry, Work
Hard for Organization.

No ball club in the National league
or American league is more loyal to
the Baseball Players fraternity than
the Griffmen, principally because
Catcher John Henry is an officer OF
the organization and a hard worker
for the cause of the players. Every
member of the Washington team
wears the fraternity button and pays
his dues. The men are guided by John
Henry and have pledged themselves
to back him up in every move he
makes. In discussing the affairs of
the players fraternity with baseball
writer Henry stated that the main OBJ
ject of the organization was to see

Horse Chestnut.

II was sitting on the bootblack's
stand" said the story-teller, when
the parade came along, the grand
marshal riding big bay horse at its
head. Well, just as the head of the
parade came opposite me, it stopped.
The grand marshal's horse wouldn't
go another STEP"
Recognized you as his long lost
half brother, 1 suppose" said one Of
his listeners maliciously.
Think you're smart, don't you?
Well, I'll tell you, anyhow. 1t was
pride that made that horse stop
nothing but pride. He wanted his
shoes shined."

that the players were given a square
deal. 1t has been said that the Phil
adelphia Athletics have steadfastly re-
fused to join the fraternity. but
Henry throws a different light on the
subject: II have talked with most
every member Of Connie Mack's team
this season and urged that they join
the fraternity. To my surprise, found
that most of them were perfectly will
ing, but that they could not get to-
gether and elect a leader, one who
would see that dues were paid etc. I
believe that before many days have
elapsed the Athletics will all be en-
rolled with the players fraternity"
