NEW YORK, NY. October 22, 1917 - On October 26, the Presidents Cup Champion New York Gothams will take on the World Series champions, the Chicago White Sox in a one-game exhibition match. The only thing on the line is bragging rights, but a Gothams win would certainly sting for the American League.
When the United League was first forming, the American and National Leagues called it an "outlaw league." The UL fought back, claiming itself to be a "major league." On the 26th, we'll find out just how well the UBA matches up against the major leagues.
American League, National League, and United Baseball Association representatives met about one week ago and drew up a proposal that will pit the champions of each series (Presidents Cup Series and World Series) against each other in a one game match. The leagues will split gate receipts 50/50, and the home team will rotate each year.
On the 26th, the teams will play at Chicago's home ballpark, Comiskey Park.
