Text	The Eastern League hald a special meeting at Baltimore Friday, July 24, deposed Mr. Diddlebock from the presidency and secretaryship and elected Mr. Ballard, of Newark, his successor. The charge against Mr. Diddlebock was “neglect of duty and general incompetence.” Mr. Diddlebock was not notified of the meeting, knew nothing of it, and was not given a chance to defend himself at all. The meeting was so secret that nobody but those present knew anything at all about it. [Diddlebock challenged the legality of the special meeting.] The Sporting Life July 29, 1885 The upshot of the squabble between the Eastern League and the deposed president, Mr. Diddlebock, was another special meeting in regular form last week, at which the deposition of Mr. Diddlebock and the election of his successor was confirmed, or rather legalized.
