BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Manager Griffith left Washington
shortly after noon today for New York,
to attend the American League meet
ing there tomorrow. President Minor
plans to leave at midnight. Both as
serted they had no idea of what would
be done in regard to John Henry, the
local catcher. whose activities as an
agent of the Players Fraternity have
gotten him into disrepute with organ
lied base ball. Mr.. Minor did say.
however. that he could not conceive of
Ban Johnson having made the state
ment that Henry would be driven out
of base ball.
Griffith declared before his departure
that he had made no appointment to
meet Henry i'll New York, but that If
the catcher were there he would have
talk with him as a player. but not
as a representative of the fraternity.
According to Griffith, he has no trades
or deals of any kind in contemplation,
and doubts il any will be discussed
with him while he is in New York.
Action by the National League at its
annual meeting yesterday in abrogat
ing the Cincinnati agreement entered
into with the Ball Players Fraternity
January s. 1914, was characterized by
Griffith as eminently fitting and proper.
The step taken by the league in ter
minating it's working agreement with
the athletes union and the action of
several members Of the organization in
openly repudiating Dave Fu!tz, its
president. were the features of the an
nua1 schedule meeting of Tener's cir
cult.
The revolt against Fultz on the part
of the members of the fraternity was
led by Sherwood Magee of the Boston
Nationals.
Not a few of us have repudiated
Fultz" Magee said. "Fultz must get
out. He has not played fairly with us.
He called a strike without consulting
the board of directors. His public ut
terances bound US to motives which we
never indorsed. Minor issues We're
dragged in with which we have no con-
Germ The whole proposition was be-
logged and clouded. Our president has
put the Base Ball Players Fraternity
in false light. He did SO acting for
self motives. He must GO"
Magee's sentiments were echoed by
Dick Rudolph, the Braves pitcher, and
