It Ís composed equally of ball-players and capitalista. AU of the members of the Brotherhood of Base-Ball Playera are in the soheme. Grouuds will be eecured and olubg placed in Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Clncinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn. Foor prizes are to be the incentive for winning games, tha champion club to reoeive 5,000. The receipts are to be divided into three parta, one of which goes to the playera, one to their backers and the remainder to ba divided equally among the clubs at tha close of the season. All players are to be stockholders, and each club is to have two managers, one a player and the other a backer. This combination is the result of the objectionable features in the arbitrary laws of the National League and American Associatlon. Captain Anson and Messrs. Burns and Williamson, of the Chicago club, are about the only players of prominence not connected with the new plan.
