NEW YORK, NY. November 28, 1911 - William Abbot Willman of the Willman Railroad Co. issued a statement from the Hotel Imperial in New York City last night announcing the formation of a new baseball league that will begin play in April of 1912.
When asked where the new teams will play, Willman responded "We are currently in discussions with twelve possible franchises, but I can not make any statements on how many teams will play next season. We hope to have at least eight, but ten or twelve is a possibility."
As of today, there has not been an official reaction from the American or National Leagues.
