 MAJOR LEAGUE

Chicago, Feb. 1O-John Henry, veteran catcher of the Washington Club, faces the possibility of being driven out of the American League as punishment for urging members of the Baseball Players Fraternity to strike.
 President Johnson announced yes- terday that the club owners at their meeting in New York next Thursday will act on the proposal to pay the Washington Club a sum of money and order the immediate relase of Henry
 Such persons are undesirable in our league" Johnson said.
 The Washington catcher has writ ten practically every player on the Washington team urging them to re- main loyal to David l.. Fultz, presi- dent of the organization, and mot to sign until they get the word from Fu1tz.'
 Washington, Feb. 1O-Clark Grif- filth, manager of the Washington club, when informed of Ban John sons announcement regarding Henry, said his attitude toward the veteran catcher would be governed entirely by the evidence produced at the Ameri- can league meeting in New York next Thursday.
 eff it is shown that Henry's activi- ties in behalf of the Players Fra terity have been detrimental to the league or to the Washington club, will not hesitate to vote for his re- moval," Griffith said.
 eff he hss confined his efforts to endeavoring to have the members of the Washington club abide by their pledges to the fraternity I do not re- gard his offense as very serious"

The train for Pasadena, Cal, doesn't leave until two days later but Owner Weeghman doesn't intend to be caught mapping by any last minute holdouts.
 It is is said the gate receipts at the East End A. e. boxing show Thurs day night amounted to $3,6OO, the largest amount taken in by any local club this season. Of course the ex- penses were great but the East End promoters added a few dollars to their bank rolls. The principals in the main bout worked on percentage. It is said McAuliffe got $500 and Eggers $500.
 GeOrge Smltn, the former COlumDla University pitcher, has signed a con- tract with the Giants. He was given tryout last season and looked so promising in several games that Me- Graw things the youngster will be sure to stick this year.
 Although Grant Hugh Browne has been refused a license to conduct boxing shows in Madison Square Gar den it is understood he will be allow ed to go ahead with the Fulton-Wein- ert bout, scheduled for Monday night. as arrangements for this had already been made.

 ONE MORE CHANCE

Manager Billy Jacobs of New York sends this in behalf of K. Q. Eggers:
 "Eggers would like another chance at McAuliffe. He was handicapped by boxing under rules new to him. As he is used to fighting at all times in another encounter he thinks he would stop McAuliffe, as he is wise to Macs style of boxing and knows the rules better"

GOVERNOR PAYS
VISIT TO BOYS
AT CAMP MEADE
Brumbaugh Party Inspects
Cantonment and Delivers
Messages to Soldiers

Camp Meade, Md. Nov. S.-Gov-
ernor Brumbaugh visited Camp
Meade to-day. He reviewed his
boys" explored kitchen, mess hall
and barracks room and left after he
had given the following enigmatical
statement on the political situation In
Philadelphia:
THE Fifth ward trouble has been
so concerned in the political contest
in Philadelphia that l prefer to say
nothing about it until the courts have
passed upon the trouble"
No such reticence marked his at
ttude toward the cantonment, how
ever. He went everywhere, saw ev-
erNthing, spoke to everybody and
then observed:
1T is wonderful, wonderful. I
came down here to assure the men
Pennsylvania would stand by her
sons, and l hacve simply been over
whelmed by the wonder of it all. 1t is
marvellous
The Governor and Mrs. Brum-
bauGh motored from Baltimore,
where they had passed the night. 1t
was about noon when they arrived
and General Kuhn had been apprised
of the coming of the party. He to-
gether with Mrs. Kuhn. was on hand
to greet the visitors, who included
Colone! Louis ID. Kolb, Colonel j.
Howell Cummings, Private Secretary
William II. Ball and a number of
women. Mrs. Kuhn acted as hostess
TO the latter, while the General show
ed his guests about the headquarters
buildings and adjacent structures
Then he escorted the party to the
parade ground. The Governor re-
marked:
MY, my! but it doesn't seem nos
sible these men came down here only
six weeks ago. They are fine, fine,
and the state Is very proud of them"
The review over, the Governor be-
came ''Neighbor" Brumbaugh. He
took his leave of General and Mrs.
Kuhn, saying:
II promised several people in Ger
mantown and Harrisburg I that I
would drop in on their boys, so 1
guess I'll look them up"
With Mrs. Brum baugh he went to
the barracks and chatted with sew
eral of the boys in khaki. gave them
the message from their families and
left for Camp Lee, where other Penn
sylvania selected men are encamped.
The vote of Camp Meade, which
may becide The issue between the
Town Meeting and the Vare-Smith
parties, will be given out by the
County Commissioners in Philadel-
phia. The judges and inspectors, aft
er they finished the count, sealed the
ballots in envelopes and sent them
to Philadelphia to be counted. In
many instances the boys did not keep
their tabulation figures for reference
here, so that, except in few COM
panies, it is impossible to learn tehm.
However, both sides here claim to
have carried the camp, and neither
will yield to the other in that re-
spect.

 services of many are contributed free,
 still, attached to every drive, there are thousands of dollars spent in a
 hundred different ways. The Ken osha plan puts an end to this ex- penditure, thereby insuring more ef- fective results from the slms sub scribed.
 Lastly the fund is a measure of patriotism, and is in line with the Kenosha motto which is, If you can't go across come across" In other words, if you can't shoulder the gun and do your part as an enlisted sold iers then enlist at home under the Kenosha plan, and come across with one half hour per week.

From Ken0sha comes plan for the concentration of all war funds that are collected from the citizens into one great commission. provides the means of collecting these funds with tho least possible delay and expense, and. at the same time, so distributing the subscriptions as to eQua.ize them most justly according to the incomes of the subscribers.
 The plan is simplicity itself. name ". that each person in the United States shall contribute to the fund a sum equivalent to .one half hour of his weekly income: this fund to De administered by the chairman of the respective county defense leagues.
 With every citizen a member of the Kenosha plan there can be no more drives for war funds of charitable nature. All the funds, such as Red Cross. Y. M. c. A.. Comfor. and Re creation etc, now contributed to sep arately, will look to and receive their respective allotment of money from this general Kenosha fund. Any new plan proposed for the betterment of our army must be submitted to the administrators of the Kenosha fund. These administrators will examine in to and decide as to the worthiness Of the proposed enterprise and deter mine upon it's relative importance, having special reference to the fol- lowing points:
 Is 1t authorized by direst or dele gated government authority
 Is 1t an unjustifiable duplication of other projects to which cantribu- adons are being made?
 Is it managed efficiently so that funds contributed are not largely consumed in salaries or overhead expense!
 Taus it will be seen no unworthy project can be fostered on the people, while every worth while enterprise will already have at it's disposal the means to carry out it's object.
 The plan recommends itself be-. cause of this protective feature, be cause 1t equalizes the subscriptions upon the basis of ability to subscribe. forcing the niggardly to come across and protecting the overgenerous and patrtotic from the ardor of their inn flses. II Is also highly desirable be.
