| Text | The incorporated name of the champions was changed from the Metropolitan Exhibition Company to the New York Baseball Club, for the reason that the Club desired to secure a name similar to the titles of other League clubs and hereafter confine its scope to the national game. So says Director Charles T. Dillingham. New York World October 4, 1889 President Day states that the object of having the New York Club incorporated twice under similar names is to prevent any other parties from suing either of the titles “The New York Base Ball Club” or “The New York Ball Club.” The fact that different incorporators are named in each certificate is explained by the law, which so demands. The Philadelphia Item October 11, 1889 The managers of the Chicago League Ball Club have followed the plan of the New Yorkers to protect the name from the brotherhood players. Articles of incorporation were issued yesterday to the Chicago League Ball Club and the Chicago Base Ball Club, both with the old managers as incorporators. Brooklyn Eagle October 17, 1889 A certificate of incorporation of the Brooklyn Ball Club was filed to-day [12/7] with the Secretary of State. The trustees who shall manage its affairs for the first year are Charles H. Byrne, Ferdinand A. Abell and Joseph J. Doyle, of New York, and Frank Kelly and John M. Kelly, of Brooklyn. The club’s objects are set forth as follows: “To engage in and promote the game of base ball and athletic sport in the City of Brooklyn and to exercise and enjoy all rights and privileges conferred by the act of incorporation.” Brooklyn Eagle November 7, 1889 |
