NO LEAGUE TEAM HERE
ATLANTIC LEAGUE HAS COM
PLETED ITS CIRCUIT, SHUTTING
OUT WILMINGTON.

President Fogel, of the Atlantic
Baseball League, issued the following
proclamation last night, which COM
pletely knocks this city out of league
team.
The circuit of the Atlantic League
is complete. and all that remains TO be
done to set the machinery of the or
ganization in motion Is to meet at
Reading next Thursday afternoon and
adopt the schedule which | am now
making out. The troublesome prob
lem of an eighth club, which has been
hanging fire for nearly a month, has
at last been definitely solved The ap-
plicants were Harrisburg, Trenton,
Wilmington, Lancaster and Jersey
City. The question Of selection grad
ually narrowed down to Jersey City
for several reasons, one being because
of It's large population and environ
ments; another because Newark want
ed local orrather territorial rival and
third, because 1t added one more Sun
day ball playing city to the circuit.
The obstacle in the way OF taking
in Jersey City after we had secured an
option on the grounds in that city and
several wealthy gentlemen to back the
proposed club was the fact that COM
ing within the five-mile territorial
limit OF the New York National League
Club the consent of President Freed
man, OF that club, was necessary. At
ter an exchange of correspondence
with Mr. Freedman we met in his Of
nee today and had no trouble in agree
ing upon terms which are most salts
factory to Ollr league Nj. E-,ao,lr,a,,
more than met Mr. Belmont. our at
tcrney half way. and in drawing up
an agreement with us imposed abso-
lutely no conditions. In brief. Mr..
freedman in most spOrtsmanlike
manner yielded the Jersey City terri
tory to us without, as | have already
stated, imposing any conditions what
ever. After fixing up the necessary
papers with Mr.. Freedman we immedi-
ately organized the Jersey City Club.
with paid in capital of $4,000. and
arranged for the grounds in that city.
DICK Cooley, the popular captain of
last years Philadelphia National
League Club, will be offered the posi-
ton of manager-captain of the Jersey
City Club. l expect to secure CoOley's
release from Philadelphia tomorrow.
and Immediately place him in charge
OF this club, Colonel Rogers having al
ready consented to this arrangement.
THE complete circuit as it stands
with grounds secured and clubs organ
lied in every city, is as follows: Jer-
sey City, Newark, Athletics, of Phila-
delphia; Reading Allentown, Wilkes
barre, Scranton and Elmira."
