II the National League refused to pro-
tect the Atlantic Association in its pur-
chase OF the Worcester Club. there was
nothing left forthe Atlantic but to give up

other sources for protection
Barnie .ridicules the position taken
by President Lang Of the Hartfords,
who has written letter to Secretary
Young protesting against the purchase
OF the Worcester Club, and its transfer
to the Atlantic Association. Barnie Is
very emphatic, and says the league has
put itself on record now, and
cannot go back on its own
decision, that a club can leave
cne association for another, under
the national agreement and take its
PLAYERS with it. Worcester is the only
one Of the three c'u1s was wanted, said
he, and we've cot it now legally, and
mean 70 keep it.
There are some doubts about Trenton
having a club this season.

have use Of the League clubs extra play
ers. without them being released
from the league club, The movement
win probably be adopted between all the
