 NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-That the Baseball Players Fraternity is deter mined to carry its demand for a re- vision of the injury clause" in certain players contracts to a finish. is indi- cated in a statement made public today by President David l.. EultZ of the fraternity The stateuent says in part:
 MT. Johnson is reported to have said in d recent interview that the fraternity petition accused certain American League clubs of suspel ling injured players without pay We made no such accusation We stated that certain contracts gave the owners the right to so misuse players if they saw fit
 MT. Johnson made a somewhat heated denial of the supposed accusa tion and said he had demanded of us the names of players so suspended He has made no such demand. Mir Hermann. however. did wire for copies of contracts containing the objection able clause We replied that con- tracts could not be forwarded with out consent Of the players. but that the provision IS in section four of some of the Washington and New York con- tracts. As copies of all contracts are already lodged in his office. their com pliance seemed unnecessary.
 The clause reads ms follows.
 Should the player be disabled. or his ability Co perform his duties be Impaired at any time during the term herein prescribed the club may deduct from the amount then due. or to be- come due under this contract. such pro- portion thereof as the period of said ! disability or impairment may bear to the term herein prescribed and may al its option terminate this contract but no such deduction or termination oi this contract shall be made by reason of. any accident Of injury received by the player while in the performance oi his regular duties under the direction of the club unless such injury or ac- i cident shall wholly or partly iucapaci- ! tate the player for a period Of fifteer tl5l days in which event such dednc tion may be made for the period of dis ability oT impairment in excess 6 fifteen H5l days and this contract ma, be terminated at the option of th, club. provided however. that the play CT shall be given written notice thereo by the club.

MEMS DINNER CLUB TO
MEET THURS. EVENING

The Mems Dinner club is now l7s
members strong and still going. In
announcing the third meeting the en-
tertainment committee today issued
the following statement:
eThe Mems Dinner club is an or
ganization promoted to build up a
comradeship between the citizens Of
Chickasha. It has grown of its own
yolition from nothing in early Feb
ruary to the number given now. The
third dinner or banquet Of the club
win take place at the X. p. hall at
4th and Kansas avenue, on the even
ing OF the 27th Of April, next Thurs
day. Members are urged to state pos
itively to the committeeman who calls
on them as to whether a plate at this
banquet is wanted, or not. The ladies'
of the Catholic church Of Chickasha
are to serve the banquet. They are
fully organized and well equipped to
do the job properly, and are expecting
TO serve in the neighborhood of 100
dinners. If you are not reached by
the committeeman who has your sec
tion do not be offended. but get word
to someone who will get your name
down for dinner, as many calls have
to be made to reach members, it has
been determined, and some can not
be found.
"The ladies promise fine banquet,
good and quick service, and that the
dinner will begin on the minute of
1880 p. m, Thursday next. The com
mittee who awarded the job to these
ladies considered everything as to
their fitness, and we believe the mem
bers may expect something good and
we believe that every one who will
come will get satisfaction. The cost
to each member attending will be 85c

Of the banquet
This club offers means of pleas
ure and place to get acquainted with
neighbors, and to stimulate comrade-
ship between men of all businesses,
professions and trades, at little cost
1t is open to those who wisb to enroll
Members are asked to order dinners
for friends if they wish to be hosts
for any such, and we know of no bet
ter way to be hospitable. The enter
tainment committee sitting in session
on the 9Th inst agreed that certain
regulations for its benefit are essen
tial, and will put before the members
present at the next banquet which
will be the evening of the 21th, next
Thursday. for adoption, three rules:
(a) That members who are not inter-
ested sufficiently to attend one-third
of the banquets, unless uaavoidably
detained, should not expect to retain
membership, thereby causing the com
mitteeman in charge of their section
to repeatedly call them. Let men,
bers' names be dropped after failure
to respond to calls for banquets, after
three repeated invitations. OBJ lnas-
much as honor and decency are the
essential requirements for enroll
ment, members should adhere to
these strictly. 1t is not honorable
for anyone to order dinner and not
pay for it, Therefore, it was agreed
that members agreeing to attend a
banquet, not doing so or not paying |
for same, be dropped till amends be
made by tender of the cost. (c) Inas-
