The Western Association Football League
is now a fact. 1t was thoroughly organized
last evening at a meeting held at the Hotel
Schlosser. a schedule was adopted and
constitution and bylaws agreed upon, and
the kickers for the football pennant will
start in on Christmas Day just as stated
day or two ago in this paper.
The meeting last evening was an enthusi-
astic one, President Horn being in the chair.
There were u clubs represented, and all
Sere anxious to join the league, but two
were shut ont on account of being too far
from Pittsburg. The Braddock delegate
pointed out that a former local league was
wrecked by having its clubs too far apart.
This settled the matter, and it was resolved
10 have only ten clubs in the new
league. The New Castle delegate fought
hard for admission, but he was
shown that the present League was only an ex,
pertinent. and that it would be unsafe to under
take too much in the way Of travelling long dis
Tances. The chairman stated that y. u. Pratt
& CO. had offered pennant for the whining
club. and the offer was accepted with thanks.
1t was also resolved to allow each two con-
testing clubs TO make their own arrangements
as to expenses and grounds: thus any two clubs
scheduled 20 play against each other can selecr
any grounds which may appear to be most ad-
vanTageous The ten clubs agreed upon as
members are: The Allegheny Athletics Brad
dock East End. SEaner, Mcdonald station,
Allegheny Thlslles Homestead. MckeeSport
Eigh;ernth ward and tine Eurekas. The fol-
lowing schedule was adopted. and the teams
first mentioned in each ccnIesting pair have
choice o. gruUnd-in the event of the two clubs
not being able 10 mutually agree on a ground.
