Why a new instance uses logger from old instances?

I generate 2 instances in this way:

    gameManager manager1 = new CTManager(owner,players1,"en");
    manager1.start();
    gameManager manager2 = new CTManager(owner,players2,"en");
    manager2.start();

The start() method of the gameManager looks like that:

void start() {
    game.start();
}

When I create the game instance I create a loger: log = Logger.getLogger("TestLog"); (log is a public field of the class in which the game belongs).

In the game.start() I run many processes and give them a reference to the corresponding log. So, I expect that manager1 and manager2 will write to different files. But manager2 writes to its own file and to the log file of the manager1. Why can it happen?
