The publication of the fact that the Brooklyn Club
would not desert the League proved to be a heavy
blow u the American Association. This places the
seeding organization in anything but An encouraging
position.
President Henry verdcrhorst, Of the Baltimore club :
President Charles \. Prince. Of the Boston Association
club, and President J. Earle Wagner, Of the Athletic
club. came 70 New York yesterday to consult with
G. II. Byrne and \. l.. Johnson. Their mission was a
failure and all the Association men went home last
night.
Henry VanderFOrSt was seen in the afternoon and
admitted that he was much disappointed at the ASSocll-
lions failure to secure Brooklyn in its circuit. Mr..
Vandcrhorst had a lcHc talk with President Byrne. bat
couli not induce the energetic leader Of the Brideg?oomS
to change the sentiments as expressed I'm Yesterdays
