At meeting held yesterday afternoon
and evening in Chicago the Western AS
ISOLATION Of Professional Baae Ball Clubs
was formed. No officers were elected. this
action being deferred until next Wednes-
day. when an adjourned meeting will be
held in that city. The members Of the
association so far determined upon are
Kansas City. Minneapolis. Detroit, Louis
vile and Toledo. Eight clubs in all will
comprise the association, but those present
at the meeting declined to say what the
three other cities would be. saying that
they will be taken from a list of half a
dozen places which had made an applica-
ton for membership. The names of these
places were also kept secret, but it is
known that among the number were Rock
ford, ILL.,; St. Paul. Grand Rapids, Mich,
and if the American League drops either
Buffalo or Indianapolis, the one dropped
will certainly be taken in. constitution
and bylaws were drawn up and adopted.
The management of the association Will
be under the patronage of the American
League, several Of the magnates of that
advice and support in the formation of the
association. The presidents of the local
organization will be as follows: Kansas
City, N. B. Cascaden; Minneapolis. Clarence
Saulspaugh; Detroit, Thomas J. Navin; To-
ledo Charles Stroebel. No announcement
was made as to the president of the Louis
vile club, and when his name was ca.ed
for 1t was announced that 1t would be di-
vulged at later date.
All those present at the meeting OK
pressed themselves as more than pleased
at the outlook for a successful season, and
said that there would be no trouble . in
getting desirable members to complete TIE
organization. 1t is not question of OBJ
tanning members, they claim, but of Sc
lecting the most desirable from among
those who have already made application
fo; membership.

Two National Organizations Working
in Harmony.
AMERICAN LEAGUE TO Be KILLED
Circuit Question Causes a Delay in
Chicago Meeting.
SPORTS IN GEN ERA

The reported formation of an entirely new
base ball organization in Chicago yester-
day, under the title of the National Asso-
citation, failed to create much of an i'm
preston in the sporting world. owing to
the fact that several of the men inter-
ested have been before the newspaper
camera before. So far but one Chicago
newspaper man has been next" to the
movement, and his knowledge of the or
ganization is so limited that his specials
hive failed to create anything like the SEN
sation expected. But there is no disput-
ing the fact that the National Association
has been formed in Chicago. In five Of the
eight cities selected the circuit of the
National Association plenty of backing
can be obtained from men of wealth, but
the other three are weak on account of
conditional promises based on statements
that are visionary. To place single club
in any one city plenty of capital can be
found, but when hight with an opposi-
ton team has to be taken into consdera-
ton. the men with money will be found
timid about going into the undertaking.

Chicago under last nights date has the
following to say about the new organiza-
ton:

DYING OF A MANS BITE,

Newburg. July As the result Of a fight at Cold Spring about a week ago. first a finger. then the hand. and finally the arm of Corporal Barry of West Point have been amputated. and to- night the physicians have little hope of his recovery.
 Barry, with some companions, went to Cold Spring and there became engaged in a fight. In it the little finger of his left hand was gnawed to the bone by q Swede whose name is not known. Dr. Giles dressed the wound and Barry re- turned to West Point.
 Blood poisoning developed and in the latter part of last week the finger was amputated. A few days later the haT5 was taken off. Still the bln1d poison ing spread until to6ay it became ne csy to amputate the whole arm close to the shoulder. The shock upon Barry's system was great, and all though he was a strong. robust young man, his temperature was such last night that little hope was entertained of his recovery.
 The Swede left town when Barry's condition became known. The police have received notice to arrest him if he is found.

RUNS BANK FROM THE RANCH
Kansas Capitalist Too Busy With
 Farming to Waste Time.

Burton. Kas.. July 4-John w. ShiVe. president of the Burton State bank. is a farmer Five miles out of Burton MT. Shive owns one of the largest and finest ranches in Kansas. Thousands of fine cattle and horses graze over his broad acres. and the value of the crop raised on the ranch in a single year would make any man independent for life.
 In managing the affairs of.the. ranch and the bank at Burton, Mir. Shive found that the ranch required most of his time He accordingly put in private telephone connecting the bank with his residence on the ranch, and now he conducts the affairs of the bank over the telephone. In the ordinary course of business the cashier of the bank calls MT. Shive up by telephone from fifteen to twenty times a day, but only four times during the last three moinths has he found his presence at Burton actually necessary.
 MT. Shive, who is one of the wealth fest men in Kansas, made practically all of his money on the farm He came to Kansas in the first of the 7Os with hardly dollar. and took up claim, which is still his homestead. He has added to it until he is now, with but one or two exceptions, the largest land holder in Harvey county.
