WICHITA AND THE WESTERN
LEAGUE.
Coed Opportunity Tor This Cry % secure a
Coed Bas. Ball

! There is movement on foot to organize
/ a Base Ball association ia Wichita, to join
| the proposed New Western league which
has some prospects of success. number
| OF well known local enthusiasts tavoriug
the proposition. Mr. James Whitfield,
| sporting editor of he Kansas City Star,
and Mr. I. W. Flowerree also OF Kansas
City, arrived here last evening to meet
the local patrons of the game and learn
what the prospects ara for Wichita
sending representatives to q meeting to
be held at Kansas City on Wednesday
| next. The proposed league is to be made
up OF Kansas City. ST. Joseph. Topeka.
Denver. Pueblo, ON Ina. Sioux City and
Leavenworlh or Wichita, making an
eight club circuit of good live base ball
towns. It is expected that the coming
season will see revival in interest id the
great national game. and with h
reasonably low salary limit and
an economical league administration
there seems to be no good reason
why it should not prove paying invest
ment. or at least pay its own way. Messrs.
Whitfield and Flowerce held consulta-
ton with J. W. O'Neill OF the Wichita
Electric Street Railway company and he
was favorably impressed with the PROPOSE
ton and promises to help it along. Other
local patrons we're talked with and it is
suggested that a new park be secured that
will be close in and easily reached
by the street cars and with
in ten minutes ride of the
corner of Main aud Douglas streets. A
rough estimate OF the immediate financial
support necessary has been made and it is
suggested that fund be raised by organ
ling stock company with limited liabil-
ity or from an advance sale of season tick
cts to insure the clubs position with the
other proposed league towns. The Kansas
City gentl.men wauid like to meet Messrs.
Charles MOssbacher, j. w. O'Neil. L. ID.
Skinner, j. L. Dorsey, S. B. Amdon and
Charles NJ. Fecheimer at the Hotel Carey at
O'Clock this afternoon for further cou-
sderation of the matter.
This opportunity for Wichita securing a
baseball team that will be standing ad-
vertisement for the city throughout the
season should meet with the hearty sup
port OF our business men as we'll AS deve-
tees OF the game, and if the merchants and
business houses generally will all asst it
in practical way, there will be no trouble
in Wichita securing franchise in the
proposed league
