Old League Shaken Up. | ‘That fall was an exciting one for the national vame. What is known in base- bell history as the “Brotherhood re- volt’ was sprung, and for @ time It was pretty strenuous work for a player to find out where he was at. 1: was a movement that shook the old league to its foundations, robbing it of many of its best players and upsetting all its plans in general. I belteved then, Thave never had reason to think wiee, that the whole business we to greed, ‘The game had hacome suc @ money maker that its business end had put every other consideration into the shade. It has been charged time and again hat this Brotherhood affair was hatched and put into working order by the ring+ leaders during the rotind-the-world tour It may or may not be true, but T want! to say right here that I never heard a whisper of it until late in that season. The first I knew of ‘t was when John M, Ward came to me with a proposit! ana \> and the cham-| »: is i ANSON. ited before being subject to classifica- jon. John Ward, who was the Rrotherhood leader, was abroad at the time this oc- curred, 0 no official action was taken by that organizhtion. By the time he xot home contracts for that reason had been signed and nothing could be done Ward favored a strike at the time, but he was outvoted by his followers, Just about k manage- ment agr Johnny to Wasi= ington £ of $12,000, the biggest price ever for a player, but offexed Ward spoiled the deal by declining flat- footed to be sold to the national capital elirb. Then the kicking players appointed a committee to present thetr grievances to the League, and President Young named & League committes to confer with the other. Mr, Spalding was chairman and he declined to meet the Brotherhood folks until fall, although they wanted an immediate hearing. That refusal up- set the teapot. ‘The Brotherhood people began at once, though with the utmost secrecy, to plan secession. Players’ League Formed.

As a natural consequence Its © was a brief and stormy one, with war to the knife and knife to the hilt between the two rival organi After four courts had decided t! Players had a perfect righ National League and join the rival bi each of the clubs belonging to the Play= ers’ League signed a compact to play th the new organization ten yeara.

At the close of the season a conferenco was held to smooth out the tangle, which was financially disastrous to all parties concerned, Secret metings be- tween the capitalists of the two leagues were held, with the ultimaté result that the rival clubs in New York, Pittsburg and Chicago were consolidated. That deal broke up the Brotherhood scheme. ‘The year 18% was one of the most dis astrous ever known in the his baseball.
