Bile organization the new Western league, as
it now stands, is bound to be. it is only nee
essary to do a little figuring. Here are a
few rough estimates to 60 on:
For instance each club must have at least
thirteen men, and with Kansas City, Sioux
City, Minneapolis, Milwaukee,, Toledo,
Indianapolis and Columbus and any one
other of the several cities mentioned, they
must travel to the extent of $1,000 each;
hotel bills ON the road will eat up 81, 800 more,
salaries at the 81 500 limit. 50, 100; umpires,
$3.50: league expenses, $50; ground lease,
$500; uniforms, balls, advertising, water,
ETC., 5 $1,000; first class protection, $500, or
nearly SIS 900. All of which must be gotten
out of 126 games. and with such dead base
balls in the circuit as Milwaukee, Indian
apolis and Toledo it cannot be done.
On the other hand. a western league COM
posed of Omaha, St. Paul, Davenport, Des
Moines, Sioux City, Kansas City and Lin
coin, with a 1000 salary limit, could be
made a success unquestionably. They could
swim through the season with twelve men.
Their railroad expenses would not exceed
s $1,000, hotel bills 81 800, salaries $4,000, UNI
pires $500, league expense $50, ground lease
5000. uniforms, balls, advertising, water,
ETC., $1,000; third class protection 500, or q
total of $9,27l.0 4.
With the single exception, probably, OF
Des Moines. all of these cities would play
Sunday ball, which is an overwhelming fac
tor In each clubs success in this circuit,
while in the circuit as it now stands there
are not four Sunday towns

select the three remaining cities, was here
for n day, but he left without receiving any
encouragement whatsoever, and the proba-
bilities are that the projectors of the new

Dick Moore, "a Crank on Fighters" in a

IA hard man who is very much in earnest

northwestern pugilist of recent date, and is
q welcome accession in our micdlewUight

ability in a boxer who can have Martin Co.'S
tello, the Buffalo, well in hand In seven or
eight rounds, and earn n decision over him.
This might happen, of course, IL Costello
was"of," put in the Police News of last
week Sam FftzDatrick, n trustworthy trainer
and n truth teller, was enthusiastic over
Costelio's improved condition and prospects.
He was reckoning two fights ahead, counting
on Moore as beaten, and on having Costello
matched again with his old Australian
foeman, Dan Creedon. 1t will have to be
admitted now, L Judge, that Moore is the
better middleweight TO oppose Creedon.
Indeed, it is a question if Moore is not on
his record the best tried and proven OF
American middleweights. Greggains
was, it is admitted, drawn down
out of his proper class for his meet
ing with Crcedon. Moore has grown up to
middleweight, having been fighting until re-
Gently as a w~elterweight. He has been at
the game eight years, | nm told, although
his present age is but % years. He is not an
uiibcaten. Charley kemmic defeated him,
as also, / believe, Charley johnson did.
Those reverses of his early career hardly
count much in view of his recent victories
over Shadow Maber, George Kessler and
Martin Costello. shouid call it that Moore
is at the top of the tree in our American
middleweight class, and that the job of
shaking him down and out is n job for a
champion. He needs to widen his reputa-
tion by winning achievements away from
home, but to tackle the best, as he has done
in the northwest, and beat them out is sig
nificant of Moore's solid merit"

with an indicator and bell on the engine, is
fixed to the engine footplate, When tho
