OUTLAWS IN FIELD
Union League of Professional
Baseball Clubs Formed at
Philadelphia.
THAT CITY AND BROOKLYN IN
Al Lawson, Who Has Plotted the At
Iantic League to Success, at the
Head of the Venture.

Philadelphia. Pa, Dec. ia new
outlaw baseball league was born at the
Bellevue Stratford here yesterday. 1t
will be led by Al Lawson, who steered
the Atlantic league to success last
year
Philadelphia is to have club in
the new league; that's why the meet
ing of the organization was held in
this city. and the other towns of the
circuit will be Brooklyn, Newark,
Paterson, Baltimore, Reading and a
couple more yet to be chosen.
Just where the club that is to OPP
pose the Athletics and Phillies for
Quaker City patronage will play has
not yet been decided on. Mr. Lawson
said last night that three or four sites
were i'll prospect and that the new
field would certainly be located in the
heart of populous section, with
enough fans nearby to assure success
from the start
Named Union League.
The organization will be known as
| the Union League of Professional
| Baseball clubs of America. Represen
tatives from the following cities were
present and each was assessed 500
as working basis for the new league:
A. w. Hussey, Brooklyn; A. Pholetus
Konkle, Newark; Frederick Paige
Paterson; H. Walter Schlicter, Phila
delphia; DR.. Francis Z. King. Balti
more; Ed J. Coyle and a. w. Lawson
of Reading.
Mr.. Lawson was elected president
and Dr. King vice president The
board of directors consists of Mr.
konkle, Newark; Mr.. Paige, Paterson
and Mr.. Hussey, Brooklyn.
Grounds in all the cities above men
toned have been secured and the
league will be ready for business when
the season opens.
| Outcome of Atlantic Success.
To some extent the league is the
loutSrowth of the success of the At
lantic league. This organization, after
at first making application for protec
ton. took Offense when the territorial
rights TO Wilmington and Trenton
were granted to the tri-state league
and decided to go it alone. Having
had a successful season, Mr.. Lawson
and some of his hackers decided tC
make the experiment of building up a
stronger circuit. .-.

De Wolf Hopper as the star comedian
and Miss Marguerite Clark, the dainty

character. made a decided hit at the
Illinois last evening. The perform
ance attracted an exceptionally large
house, when it is considered that the
nearness of the holiday season makes
this the poorest week of the year for
theatricals from the box Office point

filed, and the audience expressed in
no uncertain manner its appreciation
of the play. Hopper himself was COM
