Amateur Leagues May Be Joined Into National Circuit
In New York on February 28 a plan to merge major amateur leagues into one national circuit was endorsed by James H. Lowery and others after a Chicago meeting with the National Taduswide Athletic Association. The National Amateur Baseball Association would lead the unified league spanning major cities, and new officials were elected including Berry of Minneapolis and Lowery of Indianapolis. A federation reunion in Pittsburgh on March 24 could fold the National Amateur Baseball Federation into the plan, ending years of split amateur governance and uniting hundreds of teams into a multi class league culminating in elimination and championship series.
