United League Meeting, Owners Create Tentative Schedule

NEW YORK, NY. March 17, 1912 - Yesterday, the eight United League owners met to discuss the future of the league and the schedule for the inaugural season if it does indeed happen.

"As you all know, things aren't looking great for the United League so I will be frank with you. We need a miracle. Six of the eight teams do not currently have a home field and have two weeks to secure a lease for the 1912 season. If they fail to secure ballparks, we will have to put the league on hold indefinitely. Maybe we can come back in 1913."

Willman did not announce an exact schedule, but did mention that a tentative schedule was created. "With Cleveland not sure of their own future, we can not announce a schedule at this time."
