Yesterday afternoon, for the second time
this season, the Worcesters failed to mater
ialize without giving cause or reason,
and this time makes 1t doubly bad because
the Worcesters were to play benefit game
OF ball with the home team Wednesday next.
The Portlands played a benefit game with
the Worcesters, Wednesday Of last week and
took only their guarantee OF $50, leaving al
the rest to the Worcester club. 1t is very
probable that the Worcester management
knew that they would have to give up and
disband and their refusal to even send word
to that effect, so the home management could
notify the public that there would be no
game is an act not at all understood by the
directors of the home team.
President Winslow of the Portland Ball
Association left yesterday afternoon to at
tend the league meet last evening in Boston,
with instructions to vote for the dissolution
of the league, as the directors did not con-
slider 1t advisable to continue while things
remain In the present unsettled state. The
home management have paid the players
their salaries in full to date and paid all
league dues and assessments fully and
promptly, which Is something all the other
clubs failed to do.
The game for Thursday next will be
played as advertised. and the game with
Lewiston at that city Friday, and the one to
be played here Saturday will beplayed IL 1t
can be so arranged with the Lewiston man
agement. Whether there will be a game
with Woonsocket today will depend upon
the action taken at the league meeting.
BOSTON. August IA meeting of the New
England League was held here tonight, but
aside from informally discussing the situa.

WORCESTER, August 3.-rhe directors Of
the local base ball club held meeting to-
night to Wild up the affairs of the associa-
tion, but deferred definite action until to-
morrow night, waiting the action of the New
England League. Affairs are in badly
mixed condition, and there is no doubt that
the team will be formally disbanded at to-
morrow's meeting.
MANCHESTER, August 3.-The Woon-

owing to a misunderstanding with the
