WESTERN BASE BALL MOVE. New Association fo Bs Formsd Which is £ure of Euccess, FAKE QUICKLY EASTERN EXPLODED. Towns Mentioned in the Philcdelphia League Deny Any Knowledge of the Plun—Ma an Athe letie Club Troubles, Cnioaco, 1L, Dec, 30.—[Special Telegram to I'me Ber.j—The Herald, commenting on the movement to forni a new western league, says: “Lovers of the nationul gume fn the west will be plonsed to hear that a strong effort is to be made to reorganize the West. ern association of professional base ball clubs on a strongor basis than ever. The Ameri- can asseclation broke the back of the West- ern league by “enticing Milwauiee into its rauks late last season. The prospect for a Waostern association in 1502 was up 10 & few days ago decidedly blue. With the consol- idation of the League and the Amverican association came achange and tho outlook for the reorganization of the League's principal ally is now full of promise. Ever since the eventful meetiug ot Irdianavolis intor- estod purties have beon canvassing the situntion, Undar the old rezime the Wests ern_was unable to bold its players Lo their contracts, but since peace has been dec the country has been flooded with good players, and unless the Western is restoved 10 lifo or a new ceotral league is organized sores of playors will be out of em- ployment, A'ie time s ripe for a new Western assoviation and there are plenty of cities that are capable of supporting ciubs run on an economival basis, The days of huge salries are numbered, and businoss men who ara intevested in the sport realize this fact. The saiary list will be kept down, and with other expenses veduced in proportion, the minor leaguos in 1802 are cortai to make money." READS LIKE 4 RUMANCE, Base Ball Yarn Started in Philadel- phia and Very Quickly De ifed, P peLpais, Pa., Dee, 30.—The Inquirer this morning says a base ball league has been organized to take the place of the Amer- ican assoclation and alroady has clubs and ground in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Columbus, Chicago, Milwaukee and St, Louis, The organization is not in- tended to be antagonistic to the twelve-club league. Its promoters recognize the fuct that there is room for another such organization. Mr. D. T. Garrison, the well known mill owner, it is said, will back a c¢lub n this city' 'in the = proposed now base bail league, and J. M. Vanderslice, who was connccted with the local Player's league club,will also bo interested in the new scheme, provided it cowes to a head. ‘That, {here is av mvitiag location for a second club in this city no one will question, but unfortunately the conditions are not so fayorable elsewhero. Lon Knieht, who was supposed to be in Boston working up that end, was seen today and he did not appear to be enraptured with the idea of locating a club there. It 15 said that only the association grounds are avail- aole there for ball purposes, and that under the terms of the amalgamation that caunot be again used for ball playing, unless Mr. Prince is willing to sucrifice the sum awarded him by the new league. For tho same roasons President Williams of tue Chicago associa- tion club coula not place a club in the new assooiation, Coruvysus, O.. Dec. 30.—The information of the organization of a new base ball league to ba known as the United Association of Hase Ball Clubs, with Columbus as & mem- ber, Is in the nature of a surprise. Magnales nere know nothing about it, and are iuclined to give the atory but little credence, although they are willing to awaitdavelopments, Thoy deny all connection with any such scheme, Pirrssure, Pa., Dec. 30.—Iho story from Pulladeipbia of the formation of a new ball 1oague In whioh Pittsburg was to be repre- souted is vogarded here as a hoax. No person could be found who had any knowl- edge of its proposed formation. Prominent base ball people said thev did not think any one in Piitsburg would be foolish enough to invest their money in a second club as the [rasen orgauuation had always been » 0sing ventuve. Mitwaukee, Wis,, Dec. . 80, —President Iverson of the Milwaukee Base Ball club said today that so far as Milwaukee is con- corned there is no truth in the Philadelphia Jedgue storv. Milwaukeo will join the Westgra association or a central league pro- posed by President Williams of Columbus. The Milwaukee bali club directors held a seeret meeting this oveniug and decided to send representatives bath to a meating called for January 7 next at Chicago for the forma- tion of the Uuited assaclation, aud another meeting At Kansus City {0 reoreanize the Western association, These delegates will not pledge themselves to enter either cireuit. Milwaukee's vase ball experience with the Ameriean assooiation bas boen a cuution to the local magnates to go ahead carefully, but the sentiment seenis to be very much in favor of the plan launcbod by the Philadelpbia men this morhing, DEBTS OF AN ATHLETIC CLUB.
