Date	Monday, September 3, 1883
Text	A dispatch from Pittburg, on Friday, says that a movement is on foot to organize an independent base ball association, and for that purpose representatives from Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Pittsburg, New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Hartford will meet on October 12, in this city. It is the intention of the new organization to ignore the “eleven men” rule, now in vogue in the League and the American Association, and to make a number of alterations in the playing rules. More of this new movement is not known. It is evidently a secret one, and the above announcement was undoubtedly premature. The scene is one similar to that of the new Eastern Association. It is quite likely that ere long the League and American Association will discover that they do not monopolize the national game and own players as much as they thought.
