Text	A new base ball association, known as the American League of professional base ball clubs, has been organized, and will hold a meeting at Pittsburg, Pa., on the 12th inst., for the purpose of arranging for a solid foundation. The new League, which has the support of the majority of the base ball players in the present League and American Association, will abolish what is known as the “eleven men reserve rule.” Thus far the clubs entered are the New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburg, Chicago and Indianapolis. In addition, it is expected that the St. Louis and Cincinnati clubs will be represented at the meeting alluded to. Mr. James Jackson, of New York, is the projector of the new association. [This is followed by a disavowal of Jackson by The Sporting Life, which had up to recently employed him as its New York agent.]
