“He [Hewitt] won't get out at present,” said Mr. Day, “and I doubt very much if he does at all. Hewitt hasn't the money necessary to run the club. During the past season he interested several men of wealth in Washington in the club, and they had all but consented to take hold of it with him when this Brotherhood story was sprung. Naturally this sensation frightened them and they refused to put their money in what appeared to them to be a most uncertain venture. This, of course, was somewhat of a disappointment to Hewitt. I dare say that in case the players do break from the League and he fails to get monetary aid, Hewitt will withdraw. But if the League and Brotherhood have a satisfactory meeting, as I hope and believe will be the case, Washington's president will doubtless have no difficulty in obtaining what backing he wants and will say in the League.
