The clubs of the Interstate Association are expected to be included in the new associaiton, aslo clubs from Richmond, Va., Washington, Baltimore, Alobany, Troy, New Haven, Hartford, Boston, new York and Philadelphia. The club in Philadelphia it is proposed to locate in the southern section of the city, and to call it the Keystone. It is hoped that the new association can be placed on an equal footing with the Legaue and American, and, while not being attached, to either, to have the new associations contracts recognized and to interchange games with both. H. H. Diddelbock, official scorer of the Philadelphia Club, is most prominent in the new enterprise. Philadelphia Record September 9, 1883 H. H. Diddlebock says clubs from eleven cities are anxious to joint the new Eastern association to be known as the Union League of Professional Base Ball Players. Two clubs each from Richmond and Baltimore have applied for admission, and hse is in communication with managers of clubs in Washington, D.C.; Brooklyn, N.Y.; Hartford and New Haven, Conn.; Springfield, Mass.; Albany and Troy, N.Y., and Reading, Pa. The Philadelphia club will be called the keystone. Representatives from these clubs will meet at Earle's Hotel, New York city, on September 25, to effect an organization.
