OF the Players League in this city to-day,
President McAlpine formally presented the
resignation OF the New York club. An
opinion from Jud re Bacon Of New York was
then read, to the effect that at the time the
agreement was entered into between the
New York Players League club and the
National League club of the same city, it was
understood that the two leagues were TO
consolidate. As this has not yet taken
place, the agreement between the New
YORK clubs would not stand. No action
was taken on the resignation, and a COM
mittee consisting Of Messrs. Ward, Prince
and johnson was appointed to attend the
National League meeting. now in ses-
sion In New York, for the purpose Of
placing the matter OF consolidation before
them. The committee left tonight for
New York. The Players League club Of
TINS city was not represented at to-day's
meeting and the matter of Pirtsbur9's
resignation was laid on the table. The
meeting then adjourned to assemble at the
call of the chairman. As the matter now
stands the feeling is strongly in favor of
consolidation, as all admit that the base
ball war has been a failure.

attempt TO transact the business of the leg
stature in a caucus debarring non-alliance

the first caucus there has been no
attempt IN that direction, and last night a
resolution was passed combining the weekly
alliance meetings to mere social intercourse
and declaring that no action shall be taken
wnlle the gatherings are in session to politi-
cally bind the members. Col. Livingston.
therefore, will not lead the assembly by the
nose, and there is no fear of star chamber
legislation.
