SIOUX CITY DROPPED
NO LONGER MEMBER OF THE
WESTERN BASEBALL LEAGUE.
w. r. G. Colt Elected N Member of the
Board of observation-disclosures, of
Cincinnati, Still President.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Sioux City was thrown
out OF the Western Baseball League in the
reorganization which took place to-day
The vacancy will not be filed until Nov.
20, when the league will meet again in
Chicago to hear the report of a special
committee appointed to investigate the ap-
plications Of James Hart, of Chicago Capt
Comiskey, for a club at st. Paul, and j. A.
Williams for one at Columbus The new
league thus far is composed of Indianapo-
lis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapolis,
Detroit, Toledo and Grand Rapids The
objection to Sioux City was that it did poor
business last year and the prospects of 1t
becoming a good paying ball town were
alleged to be not very promising.
The new board of directors consists of
President b. B. Johnson, Cincinnati; NJ r.
Killilea, Milwaukee,; James Manning, Kan
sas City; George Ellis, Grand Rapids, and
w. +. c. Colt, Indianapolis. The commit
tee to report upon the vacancy in the list
consists of Messrs Killilea, Manning and
Ellis They not kindly disposed to CIV
ing franchise to the management of the
National League club in Chicago, and one
OF the purposes in referring the subject to
committee was the hope that outside peo-
pie may conclude to place a club here
which will have no connection with the
other. If there Is no hope of getting in
Chicago, cit is probable that st. Paul will
be accepted. In that event 1t is not GER
tain that Captain Comiskey would secure
ii. as there is a strong local influence at
work against him for the franchise.

DRAYTON DIVORCE SUIT.
1t Will Not Be Permitted to Go by De-
fault, the Attorneys Say.

. NEW YORK, Oct AIRS. J. Coleman
Drayton to-day made her first public state
ment regarding the divorce suit against her
through her counsel, Herbert A. Shipman.
The long delay in filing an answer to Mr.
Draytons suit for divorce caused many
reports that the case would go by default
which would mean admission OF the
charges against her. According to the New
Jersey law, the time for filing answer
expires on Saturday, and up to the present
no papers have appeared in the court at
Trenton, and it is not probable, either,
that any will be filed this week, arrange
ments having been made whereby a longer
time is obtained.
Mr.. Shipman outlined to-day what will
be said in the answer, and added posi-
tive statement that the suit will be vigor-
ously contested. Mrs. Drayton will cer-
tainly file reply to her husbands suit,
said he. There has never for moment
been any doubt about that. The question
OF when her reply will be entered has been
left entirely to the judgment of her coun-
sci. All the reports that the time had ex-
pired or would expire, that she would allow
judgment to be taken by default, and that
and are wickedly untrue. Mrs. Drayton's s
reply will be a full and absolute denial of
each and every allegation Of her husband 5
complaint" The attorney declined to state
when the reply would be filed, but added:
''It will not be on Oct. 6, nor will we be in
default. In cases of this kind counsel al
ways arrange between themselves for the
fling of all necessary papers. This is a
case that will be settled in the courts
Mr.. Drayton is living quietly et Bernards-
vile, n. j., with his children, after having
spent the summer at Bar Ha-bor. Mrs.
Drayton is supposed TO be in Paris. The
Astor family is scattered about at various
fall resorts. Mrs. Astor is at Lenox, and
Mr.. and Mrs John Jacob Astor are with
a party of friends I'm Canada. Firm deter
animation to fight the case mas now been
expressed by both sides, and complete
airing of the whole affair will probably
occur soon in the courts at Trenton.
