All of the Phllly stars will be on hand to
leave for the southern training trip at the
proper time, according to plans made by
President Baker and Manager Moran. From
assurances received from the players they
look upon the claims of the Players Fra

members as a mere subterfuge and con-
slider the problem of the club owners as a
matter of satisfying the individual athlete
alone.
President Baker and his manager are in
perfect accord in the plan of action agreed
upon between the two and word has been
received from Alexander and kiefer, the
Phllies star battery, which has satisfied
both Baker and Moran that there will be
little trouble in procuring the signature of
these players to contracts that will be
