Text	Abundant capital, energy, and local pride have at last come to the rescue of Walter Hewett, and there is nothing to prevent Washington from going to the front in League company this season. Mr. Albert Gleason, one of the wealthiest men in this city [Washington=, who has always been an ardent admirer of the national game and a regular attendant at the Senatorial combats at Capitol Park and elsewhere, has finally concluded to divide the responsibilities of maintaining a League club here with Walter Hewett. Mr. Gleason is a leading contractor, and owns some of the most valuable real estate in northwest Washington. He was tardy about entering into the base ball business with Mr. Hewett because of the uncertainty that clustered or appeared to cluster around the franchise of the local club. At the Cleveland meeting of the League the status of the Washington Club was clearly defined, and Mr. Gleason is now prepared to go down into his pockets and help Walter Hewett establish a team here that will be a credit to the national capital.
