Text	[from an interview of Hewitt by an AP reporter] He said that the weaker clubs of the organization, which had heretofore been in the minority, and had consequently little influence at League meetings, were enabled, because of the attitude taken by the Brotherhood toward the League, to demand what had been religiously refused them—an increase in the percentage of visiting clubs from 25 to 40 per cent. The meeting, he said, was the most harmonious he had ever attended, and the disposition and aim of the delegates was to strengthen the weaker clubs, and all united in the fight against the Brotherhood. So far as the Washington club is concerned, he said it was in better condition to-day than it ever has been since its admittance into the League, for the reasons that it had no opposition in this city [Washington] to contend with, and also because it would open the season on the same footing as the remaining clubs in the organization.
