He cites lack of training space and ticket issues, says Hartford fans faced a high priced second class show, and notes Bogash is barred until reconciliation with Liberty A. C. Marty Cross was set to face Bogash next, following a recent NY win over Tillie Kid Herman.

By Jack Verock New York October 20 Baseball stands at a historic crossroads as eleven magnates split from the Johnson faction and threaten upheaval. They may patch, form a new league, or withdraw. Johnson is finished in many eyes, with three paths for the pro‑Johnson side and major cities like New York and Chicago in the opposing camp. A split could end the World Series and disrupt player contracts as money and influence cluster behind the two dominant factions.
