Trouble in the Eastern Leagne Over the
Newark Climb.
NEWARK, Aug. 2l.-President Ballard, CT
the Eastern League, in speaking to-day of
the 5000 fine imposed upon the Newark
club by the directors of the Eastern
League, said that the fine has not been
paid, and the directors of the Newark club
announce that they will not pay it. A
meeting of the directors of the Eastern
League will be held next week, when,
among other things, the question of the
fine will be considered.
SIN order to avoid the probability of the
league being involved in a law suit, and in
view of all the circumstances attending
the meeting ct which the fine was imposed,
l decided that the resolution fning the
Newark Club was not adopted legally,
said President Ballard cal all events, no
order has been made on the Newark Club
to pay the fine, and until then, of course.
no steps toward expelling the Club can be
taken. The directors of the club express
themselves ready to fight any attempts to
expel them, on the ground that the evil
dence produced did not warrant the decl-
sion rendered. Another point is raised by
the Newark Club, which l am not at liber-
ty to divulge, and which may be of mate
rial benefit in the event of litigation.
On the whole President Ballard does not
apprehend that legal measures will be
adopted.

was done. The amount of So 1000 hay-
