Text	[from Joe Pritchard's colum][from an interview of an unidentified Brotherhood member] The action of the League in grading its players is not bothering me one particle, and I have not signed for next year, either. I know just about what my services are worth to my club, and this amount I shall expect to get. If the bosses attempt to bulldoze us into signing, I am of the opinion that they will find that they have bit off more than they can chew. The Brotherhood would lose no time in placing clubs right in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, Pittsburg, and, in fact, all the League cities, and the grand scheme would be carried on with just as much system and regularity as are the affairs of the League to-day. The Brotherhood is not saying much, but its members are doing considerable thinking, and they will act, and act promptly too, when they see fit.
