Frederick Holland Leaves United League

CINCINNATI, OH. March 3, 1912 - Citing "instability within the league ownership," Frederick Holland has withdrawn his franchise from the United Baseball Association.

The decision was met with harsh reactions from league president William Witman, who was angered by the fact that Holland made his decision less than a month away from the start of the season.

Two moves within the last week have concerned many of the franchise owners.

"I'm trying to plan the next six months, making travel plans fit the schedule. The schedule was made to make travel easy. With Richmond moving north, and Indianapolis moving East, things are tough for us now," said Boston owner Marshall Henderson.

Holland's withdraw leaves the United League with seven teams. Commissioner Witman has said applications from Detroit, New York, Jersey City, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Providence, Louisville, and Rochester are being looked at for a replacement.
