Considerable Influence has been brought to
bear within the last two weeks to induce the
Sioux City club to leave the Western asso-
citation and join tho State league. This
league will be composed of Clinton Dubuque,
Cedar Rapids, Davenport Burlington and
several other cities. The final appeal to
Sioux City TO Join the league was made by
Il. +. Frawley. of Dubuque, who wrote
President Peavey requesting tnat repre-
sentative be sent to the meeting to be held
Mt Des Moines tomorrow. No delegates
will be sent, MIR. Peavy thinking that the
Western association is good. enough for
Sioux City.
The ntimation that Denver might possibly
be dropped from the Western association has
aroused considerable feeling in the Mountain
CITY. Dave Rowe says that Denver will not
be dropped, but, on the contrary, be repre-
sented by the pennant winners for 1891
"And," continued the irate Dave, ~ have
positive assurance from the best of authority
that there is not the slightest disposition on
the part of the Western association mag mates
to throw out such q good ball town as Den
yer. According TO the constitution club
can not be thrown out, but caa Withdraw,
when the franchise reverts back 20 the asso-
citation. Ihe idea of St. Paul's franchise
being given TO Duluth Is simply out OF the
question. Oshkosh will in all probability
take the place of st Joseph next season, as
the latter club has already withdrawn from
the ASSOCIATION. Denver will have the very
best club money can secure next season, and
II we do not bring down the pennant it will
be no fault OF the management"
Milwaukee has been doing good deal of
wind work about going into the American
association, but anybody knowing anything
at all about the present status or affairs In
that organization Is well aware that this is
absolutely out of the question. Milwaukee
will remain right where she is, in the West
ern association, and the management Is al
ready mapping out vigorous campaign for
next season. Shock has been made captain
OF the team, and is now engaged in hunt
for u couple of new twirlers, second base
man aud an outtielder Sutton will be re-
leased. Bob Lowe, the Cream City's great
outhelder, has been signed by Boston, but
lust how this has been brought about no one
seems TO know He is wonderful fielder,
the equal OF McAleer any day. 1t is said his
contract with Boston is another piece oi
Manager Frank Selee's slick work.
Down at st. Joe the base ball cranks claim
that Notwithstanding they have been forever
consigned to the soupby the papers of the
cities in the western circuit, that they will bt
on deck ns large as life next season. They
acknowledge that there are many people in
the burg disgusted with base ball, owing tc
the past season's gigantic failure, but assert
there is sufficient enthusiasm left to support
a team IN good shape next year. This, how
ever is idle talk. The association canno
afford 10 allow st, Joe to remain within hei
ranks another year, and il is not at all prob
able that they will do so under any circum-
stances.
There in but little news obtainable from
St. Paul. Manager Thompson writes the
base ball editor OF rHE BEE that the story
of ST. Paul dropping out of the western as
sociation is all bosh, bat instead, he will hav,
stronger team than ever next year, anS
