National league, at its recent
meeting In New York, finally

II was back in 1880 that the
brotherhood revolted and formed
the PlayerB' league. John y. Day

and owned controlling interest In
the club. in spite OF the fact that
the most prominent players OF the
game were deserving the National
league. and things looked mighty
dark for the old league. Day re

league thru everything and by SO
doing he lost his fortune.
Day Was Broke
When the reorganization tool

out, Day was broke. He didn't have
any money and consequently had
no place In the new league. The
men he had helped weather the
storm that nearly wrecked the old
league forgot him. He was showed
out in the cold. Not only was he
cast aside as a club president. but
he was virtually ostracised.

been a tobacco dealer in Maiden
Lane and had used that business
