Witman Reveals Plans for United League
PHILADELPHIA, PA. January 21, 1912 - William Witman has revealed his plans for his new league that he calls the "United League."
"I'm currently in discussions with fourteen potential owners to fill twelve spots," the former politician said. "At this point, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Washington, Richmond, Cleveland, Cincinnati, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Buffalo, Baltimore, and Boston are the cities we want to be in. 120 games in each of those cities is what we need for long-term success."
When asked what he thought about the new Federal League, Witman responded positively. "I have no issue with the Federal League. We are both trying to compete against the major leagues. For us to work against each other would be fatal to both of us, so no. I have no issue and wish them luck."
