organize the old League. That the project will be
carried out seems to b. extremely uncertain new
Western League has already sprung up, and It Is
doubtful If there IS any room for the old Some Of
the baseball managers say that the scheme IS simply
a project to freeze OUT tn; present Western League
club located at Kansas City. If this were done 1t
would give the newly organized American Association
club al Kansas City the undspncd right to that ety.
One of the striking features In the rules which Will
govern the clubs Of the old League II revived, Is a
peculiar salary limit rule II Is proposed that the
team salary Of each club shall not be 81 200
month. This would give the players average sal
airy of about S25 week. How the well-known play
crs who receive that much game must shudder at
these figures If the start is made In that ecOnom-
zeal manner the League might soon be made sue

minor league clubs might listen 10 these suggestions
