Text	[a letter from Ward to Young dated 10/31] Mr. N. E. Young, President, &c.:--Dear Sir:--At the regular annual meeting of the Council of the National Brotherhood of Ball Players at the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, Oct. 27, it was resolved to again communicate with the League with a view to obtaining a hearing for the Brotherhood. We have already gone further in this direction than would have been justified by any ordinary circumstances, but fearing that you may have been misled as to our aim by unauthorized statements, we have decided to make one more effort to secure a conference. As chairman of the Brotherhood Committee I am directed to again request you to meet us and discuss the terms of an equitable contract, and I am further instructed to say to you that, not having been accorded a hearing before the 15th of November, the one hundred and twenty-five members of the Brotherhood will take your refusal to be final and, after that date, consider themselves absolved from all allegiance to the League.
