Text | The Eastern League held a meeting at Waterbury, July 27, to consider the possibility of securing a fourth club in order to keep the League alive. While the meeting was in progress a dispatch was received announcing the Cuban Giants would come into the League and play at Bridgeport and this arrangement was accepted as an excellent solution of the difficulties in the situation. The League must have been imposed upon, however, as the manager of the Cuban Giants denies having made any application to the Eastern League. He says his club couldn't afford to enter any League under the National Agreement, as they could not then play within five miles of New York, where they now play profitable Sunday games. |
