a local lawyer. who was formerly a
star outfielder with the New York and
Philadelphia Americans admitted to-

forming a union of big league baseball

American league players met secretly
In New York two weeks earlier. All
6 clubs of the two major leagues were

proxy. he declared.
There is nothing of trade union

In case they have grievances with the
men who conduct the big league at
fairs Under no circumstances will the
organization be affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor"
