A. has been expected since St. Joe
was dropped by the Western Baseball
league, from the Missouri town has
been directed a movement looking u
the reorganization of the Western as
sociation. An article in today's Chi
cago Times-Herald reads: z
Active preparations are being
made for the revival of the Western
Baseball association. EN-Prcsident
Van Brunt. of the St. Joseph Western
league club. is said to mead the new
enterprise, and there are several other
baseball ma@nates interested. The
abandonment of St. Joseph bv- the
Western league is one of the causes
assigned for the revival of the asso-
citation. IL is asserted on the best
authority that Mr. Van Brunt is
backed by unlimited capital, and as
he himself i a man of large means
the success of the scheme * practical
" assured. There are MANY cities
which have made application for
mem bershiP, but as the applicants
are many. judicial selection will be
made. Mr.. Van Brunt will attend
the National league meeting in New
York and will ask the support of the
national body. There is not the
slightest doubt but that the Missouri
magnate will be successful, accord
ing 10 his friends in Chicago.
Behind the plans Of Mr.. Van Brunt,
il is claimed, Turk ideas Of expansion
which will have important Bearings
on the baseball situation in the west.
The acceptance of Buffalo into 1he

will eventually resolve itself into the
formation of a new league. The pros
