Lincolns Enter City League In Place Of North Ends

The vote was unanimous with Meadows as home field, while forfeit rules and delayed payments were debated. North Ends defend themselves against accusations of rowdyism and challenge the Eagles for a $25 side match at Newfield Park to prove their clean play.
