By 1889, it was clear that the players were not satisfied with the National League in regard to salary and reserve clause dealings, and were pursuing the formation of their own league. The concept of this League was initially proposed in 1885, but did not take form until 1890, when the Players' National League organized eight teams, including one in Boston. Charles H. Porter, President; Frederick E. Long, Treasurer; and J.B. Hart, Secretary administered the Boston team. Mike "King" Kelly was lured away from the Boston National League team to captain the Players' League team. John Morrill and Arthur Dixwell scouted for the team. The Boston Players' League Club's lineup included Hardie Richardson, Ad Gumbert, Dan Brouthers, Harry Stovey, Tom Brown, Arthur Irwin, Dick Johnston, Matt Kilroy, Morg Murphy, Billy Nash, Joe Quinn, Charles Radbourn, Bill Daley, Bill Swett, and Kid Madden. Kelly, Brouthers, Radbourn, Richardson, Brown, Johnston, Nash, Quinn, Daily and Madden all defected from the Boston National League team to join the Boston Players' League team. The Players' League lasted only one year. After it disbanded, the American Association absorbed many of the teams and players; others returned to the Boston National League team. One exception was Mike "King" Kelly who went to Cincinnati. Games held in Boston by the Players' League Club were played at the Congress Street Grounds from April 19-Septmber 10, 1890. Subsequently, the American Association club used the grounds from April 18-October 3, 1891. The National League utilized the grounds from May 16-June 20 in 1894, after the South End Grounds II grandstand was destroyed by fire on May 14.
