 Morning.
 ROCHESTER, N. Y., March 9.-[Special.
 To-day the Eastern baseball league met at
 the Powers hotel in this city. Charles D.
 White of New York, the president of the
 league, was on the ground early. Others
 present were L. P. Fassett, Albany; James
 Maloney and John F. Ahern, Troy; George
 Kuntch, Syracuse; wv. Burnham, Prov idence; Daniel Shannon, New Haven; W. w. Newell, Binghamton; James Mutrie and NJ. T. Cain. Eimira; J. F. Hanley and John Depinit, Erie, Penn; James Frank lin, Buffalo; R. E. Muloahy, Rochester. President White represents Philadelphia by proxy. It was nearly Il o'clock before the meeting was called to order. The pri- mary object was to select from the cities represented eight which will form the league during the coming season.
 A committee composed of Messrs White, Fassett and Franklin held a preliminary session and looked over the claims of the various cities for place in their circuit. The committee called in occasionally one and another of the delegates to ascertain the exact condition of their associations. Late in the afternoon Syracuse, Phila- delphia and Rochester were admitted in the order named. Erie was given to un- derstand that it had nothing to hope for and Elmira and Binghamton were then all lowed hearing and it was generally be- lieved they would be admitted as they were ready to fulfill all financial obligations.
 w. w. Burnham was asked to present the situation in Providence and New Ha- ven, and after an hours debate succeeded in turning the league in favor of these cit es. Manager Shannon was then heard and he stated that he was here to ask for l ! franc franchise for New Haven, and tues of s1.5 fresident Rss ns White annua. was instructed to wire New Haven people to | know if they would guarantee to complete | heir club organization and meet league | obligations, and the meeting adjourned to ! -:3O m., to await reply from New Ha- ven and permit George Kuntch to go to | Syracuse on important business and return | t that hour.
 Taken together Providence and New Haven are regarded with favor and it is unfortunate that Providence especially has 'et to complete its club organization. Ianager Burnham is making game fight, however, and if successful will depend Ipon Providence lovers of the game to ppreciate his efforts by subscribing read y to the stock remaining unsold. As lanager Burnham has been working un- er orders of the investigating committee f the league with every assurance fIom hem that Providence and New Haven ! you'd be admitted, the result would be | waited with interest.
