''TOsSING' OF sAULPAUGH
Should Not Be Charged to League,
but to Individuals.

Not a little speculation is being INDUCED
in as to what is going to be done at the
next meeting of the Western, or as 1t
is henceforth to be known, the American
league, with respect to the making up
of the new circuit. While it has all along
been commended by the magnates that
there would not be any change in terri
tory, as 1t is called, this year. except to
substitute some other town for Grand
Rapids in the league, suspicious cir
cumstanoes have occurred to make more
or less dubious the oft repeated profess
siCns. Without recounting the host Of
more or less plausible stories that have
been given widespread publicity with re-
gard to the future circuit to be COM
prised in the league, these may be deemed
worthy of serious consideration:
First, the seemingly authentic report
that Charles A. Comiskey has decided to
make fight for a team In the Western
American league in Chicago territory in
1860, in carrying out which he has, 1t Is
authoritatively reported, leased grounds
on the South side,' Chicago, which will
be improved next spring.
Second, the fact that Thomas ]. LOTUS
has been engaged to manage the Chicago
National League club for next season,
which necessitates his withdrawal from
the league, So-called.
Third, the report that his franchise in
the Western-American organization has
been sold to Charles A. Comiskey, who
now has two franchises in this league,
with one of which, seemingly, he proposes
to break into Chicago. What he pro-
poses doing with the other is a matter of
conjecture yet with all but Comiskey,
and it Is by no means certain that he has
that definitely decided, even in his own
mind.
The membership Of the Western-Ameri-
can league for 1900 may be reasonably
figured out as including the following all
of whom, so far as known, have fulfilled
all their obligations to the league:
The John L. Brush interest, known as
the indianapolis Baseball association
Matt r. Killilea and his Milwaukee as
sociates.
The Detroit Baseball association.
Charles A. Comiskey, representing the
st. Paul Baseball club.
