NEW YORK, NY. December 11, 1912 - The eight owners of the United League, including Reading owner and league president W.A. Willman met for a two day affair at the Hotel Imperial in New York City to discuss the future of the league.
Washington owner Hugh McKinnon announced at the meeting that he was considering selling his team or dropping out of the league, citing very poor attendance and financial difficulties.
The Cincinnati franchise, owned by the young J.J. Ryan, may meet a similar fate but not by choice. The owners are considering removing the franchise from the league for very poor attendance and plain bad management from the 37-year-old Ryan.
