ROCHESTER, March 17.-The cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Troy, New Haven and Newark were represented at the meeting of the International league here. James H. Randall, manager of the Lebanon, Pa., club, was also present and applied for membership for Lebanon and Harrisburg.

The name of the league will have to be changed from the International and it may be called the Eastern league.
