A letter from that veteran in organizing national associations, J. A. Williams of Columbus, O., states that the new association is a fixed fact, and that the meeting in Cincinnati on Nov. 2 will see the new craft successfully launched. He adds:

Clubs in St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati and Pittsburg are substantial institutions, with good, reliable financial backing, are going into the matter in earnest, and will form an association themselves if there are no others to go in, but would rather have clubs from new York and Philadelphia. We already have two applicants from Philadelphia, one represented by Fulmer and the other by Phillips, between which we will have to decide. The Metropolitans are anxious to be allowed to compete for our championship, but claim that they are afraid to join the association, as they hold all of their players under League contracts, and fear they would lose them by the change.
