NEW YORK, NY. January 14, 1915 - "I would like to announce two brand new franchises that will be coming to the United League this coming season," said league president W.A. Willman. "First off, we have the Boston Shipbuilders who will be owned by Matthew Willard of the M.A.W. Shipping Company. And second, we'll be joined by the Detroit Wolverines. Detroit is owned by Virgil Compton, an oil magnate who co-owns Isaac & Compton Oil, Inc."
The two franchises that are joining the Columbia League will be announced at a press conference tomorrow by league president James A. Gilmore.
