Text	...The weak point in the [PL] movement is the fear that big money inducements may overcome some of the players who had heretofore been ardently advocating the new enterprise. For a single season the magnates of the League might be willing to enrich some of the players, if thereby they could destroy this gigantic opposition to them and their old-time money making business. The dread, however, of being denounced as a “scab” may keep any man from deserting his comrades. Because they all know that not only would this undesirable title be forever fastened upon a deserter by the members of the Brotherhood whom they have deserted, but it would be shouted at them from the bleaching seats during a game and by the “street gamins” wherever they should show their faces.
