A movement is on foot among the professional ball-players to form a protective union. It is understood that the scheme emanated from the fertile brain of the versatile Billy Voltz, formerly of Cleveland. Over 200 ball-players have signified their willingness to joint such an association. The plan is to assess them $5 per moth, making a reserve fund of $1,000 a month, of $6,000 a season, to be used during the winter for sick and indigent subscribers to the fund.(St. Louis)
