| Text | The men who will back the new Brotherhood club of this city are now definitely known... viz.:--Henry M. Love, John Vanderslice, H. L. Taggart, W. H. Whitall, J. W. Allen, G. W. Autoe, J. E. Wagner, B. F. Hilt and E. T. Elliott. Hild was a fast friend of Al Reach's and the financial manager of the Philadelphia Club during the past season, a position which he has resigned. It is said that when his connection with the new movement became known, he and Col. John I. Rogers had quite a lively interview, in which the Colonel censured Hilt for stating that the Philadelphia Club had cleared over $30,000 in the past season, and accused him of using data of the Philadelphia Club's business in securing subscribers to the stock of the local Brotherhood club. It is said that Messrs. Harry M. Disston and John Forepaugh are also interested in the new club, but the former denies the report. The new club will probably play its games at Forepaugh's Park, Broad and Diamond streets, which ground may be leased for ten years at an annual rental of about $5000. The officers of the club will be:--President, Henry M. Love; secretary, James W. Allen, and treasurer and manager, Benjamin Hilt. |
