the season the fight was carried on in
relentless fashion, at a great fnan-
cla1 loss, and affected the American
Association as well as the two leagues
directly at war. The following Win
ter the rivals adjusted their differ
ences, but in the distribution of the
players the American Association was
ignored, and another fight was on.
Finally the conference committees
reached an agreement. AS a result
of this conflict the National League
became twe1ve-club organization an
arrangements which continued until
1899, when Baltimore, Cleveland
Washington and Louisville were drop
ped, and the present circuit was adopt
ed. Then came the third great war,
between the National and American
leagues. which was ended ten years
ago last Sunday.
The National Leagues first fight
against a sturdy rival was in 1884,
when the Union Association was or
gantzed. The circuit consisted of
Baltimore. Altoona, Pa, Boston, Phil
adelphia, WASHINGTON, Chicago, ST.
Louis and Cincinnati. This was prob
ably the worst year in the history of
the game. Many clubs and leagues
disbanded. The Union Association
had its troubles from the start, and
Altoona was soon replaced by Kansas
City. All clubs of all leagues lost
money, and for a time the sport seem
ed on it's last legs. The American As
ISOLATION was organized in 1882, with
the Philadelphia Athletics, Baltimore,
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati Louisville and
st. Louis as charter members. The
association and the National League
continued on friendly terms until the
trouble of 1890 came UP and started
a war.
