National Association Gives Up.


Disguised with the failure of the eastern
men to qualify, the western hackers of the
National Association have withdrawn from
the field and will make no more efforts this
season to organize league, which they in
tended to rival the National League on
the diamond next season.
The Milwaukee men who have been back
ing the new association have taken down
| their forfeit, their collateral having been
returned to them by the Baltimore Trust
Company, which had been constituted the
holder of the money and securities put up
at the Baltimore meeting last october.
"It is up to the men in the east to make
their promises good to organize their cir
cuit,' said A. J. Koch in Milwaukee last
night, land until they can show us that
they are solid financially and have their
grounds leased, we are out of the deal for
good. McGraw threw US down and spoiled
our eastern circuit by going with Baltimore
to the American League, and the failure Of
Mccarthy to hold his grounds in Boston
placed quietus on the movement to or
ganize the National Association"
