a ESPECIAL, TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.'
WASHINGTON, January 26.-"When the
first intimation of danger from the Brother
hood organization was given out" said
President Young, 'the League set about
protecting itself bY endeavoring to secure
new material to take the place of the dis
affected ball players. With this end in
view, agents of the League were sent to all
parts of the country in quest of young
players or men who had hitherto confined
their work to the minor leagues. For fear
that this might not have the desired effect,
authority was conferred upon me to prepare
circular to be distributed throughout the
United States, addressed to players who
might be recommended by club managers
and others as capable of strengthening the
League ranks. There has been gratifying
response to the circular, and when the League
meets Wednesday, at New York, will present
the names of about 800 new men for consider
alton, and no matter how the injunction suit
against Ward terminates, we will have all the
material that we want to complete the ten
teams for the year 1890"
