[reporting the PL meeting 11/11] ...Col. McAlpin took the floor to speak for his club. He made a long speech in favor of consolidation. When he had to explain the exact position of his club, however, he was deluged with questions and cross-questions and had a very uncomfortable time of it. He admitted arrangements satisfactory to the New York Club had been made with the New York League Club, but assured the meeting that no papers had been signed. He stated further that the matter of consolidation was out of his hands, as he had resigned his stock and that he had been instructed by his club to withdraw it from the Players' League, in order to effect consolidation without further complications. He then offered his club's resignation within sixty days, as required by the constitution.
