secured all the players of the famous New-Jersey
Athletic Club nine while Company AS team shows the
players of the Staten Island Athletic Club nine, with
the exception of Cadmus. . ,,
No further efforts made Yesterday to cons0li-
date the conflicting interests in the local DseDal cuos.
President Byrne said that nothing would be done for
day or two. but he confident that the matter IN
BROOKLYN would eventually be settled TO every0ody's
satisfaction JohnSOn's proposition to the League was
Individual, and not for the Players League. His
effort is to save himself alone.
