Federal League Meeting Ends With Fisticuffs
NEW YORK, NY. February 2, 1912 - Federal League officials needed to be separated last night as John Powers refused to leave peacefully after being ousted as league president.
After Powers failed to move the league forward financially over the last month, league executives and franchise owners voted 15-4 in favor of removing him from his position.
Will the Federal League become another failed attempt at challenging the major leagues? With no announced team ownership and now no league president, things are not looking good for this outlaw league.
