Text	Slowly, but surely, ever since the fall meeting of the Brotherhood of Ball Players and the Asbury Park meeting of the League directors, the League and that portion of its players embraced in the Brotherhood have been drifting to a deadlock on the question of official recognition of the Brotherhood by the League. This has now been made an issue, and both organizations have taken a stand on this issue from which neither can no escape without a square back-down. This deplorable situation has been brought about by the refusal of the League, through its president, as a matter of policy, to recognize an organization of players within its ranks, and the absolute insistence of the Brotherhood, through Chairman Ward, upon such recognition. [Correspondence between Ward and Young follow.] [See also TSL 10/5/87 for Ward's final letter in the sequence.]
