not. He had not been in Manila long
enough. He simply broke heartlessly
and ruthlessly from that tender, de
tanning clasp and ran for his life.
Lazy Manilese dwelling along a quiet

WESTERN WILL FIGHT
EVEN IF IT GOES BROKE
Sexton Says that This Policy Has
Been Decided Upon by
Magnates.
TO RETAIN KANSAS CITY

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. S.-The fact has be-
come quite evident that the Western Base
ball League will adhere to its policy of mo
surrender in it's fight with the American
Association for the Kansas City territory.
President Sexton. of the Western. is out
spoken In declaring that the organization of
which he Is the head will retain the Mis-
souri, city. To Lincoln parties who have
taken an actlve part IN an enqeaVor no y0 Sc
ern Mr.. Sexton recently expressed his
views in the following:
I'm view of the developments OF the
meeting OF the National Association at St
Louis. and the very evident intention of the
consolidation Of certain cities in the Ameri-
can Association and the Eastern League,
and inasmuch the American Association
at its recent melting failed to appoint a rep
resentative TO act on the arbitration COM
mittee in adjusting differences at Milwaukee
and Kansas City, IL appears to impera-
tive that we continue our club in Kansas
City, as in the two seasons just passed.
Believing that the agreement entered
into at st. Louis would be carried out,
have spent considerable time In making ar
engagements to substitute new cities for
Milwaukee and Peoria. and still hope TO see
Sioux City and Lincoln admitted TO the cir
cult. Milwaukee, under the most favor
able conditions is not good baseball terri
tory, while Peoria, although a good city,
is situated too far east for a berth in the
Western League. In my opinion circuit
composed of Denver, Colorado Springs,
Kansas City, St Joseph, Lincoln, Omaha,
Sioux City and Des MOines would be ideal.
Such a circuit would pair the teams nicely
and could be divided so as to make splen-
did and economical schedule. Recent ex-
perimental figuring on such a schedule dis
closes the fact that we can effect a saving
of more than 10000 miles in transpotra-
ton expenses over last season, and with
reasonable salary reductions and economy
in other expenses there can be no question
about the financial success of such a cir
cult

position will be that of assistant to Ath-
letfc Manager Cults, who has general
charge Of athletics at the university. Les
lie will work on the schedule and have

expenses.
Joseph G. Knapp, football and basket

both teams. The Washingtons won four
out OF six from the Imperials and the Ma
