ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. IA movement
is now on foot here TO sign two teams
composed of the best players in the West
ern League, and have them contest for
the worlds championship at st. Louis

to the probable lineup of the teams is rife,
but no plans will be given out for some

A post-season series of games between the
champions of the Western and Central
League will. in all probability, be arranged,
and the contests between the leaders Of
the major and minor leagues will be played
in the best-paying cities of the two
leagues. All players excepting those who
will go to St Louis will return TO their
Eastern homes shortly after the close of
the regular season.
No dates have as yet been set for the
games which will be played in the st. Louis
stadium. The Anderson promoters have
written to James E. Sullivan, chief of the
department of physical culture of the uni
versal exposition, and expect a letter giving
open dates in the near future. The final
arrangements will be concluded when the
dates are set.
Fred Lewis, of Marion, is certain to land
one of the first rush positions. With him
on the team would be Warner, second rush /;
Jean, center; Cameron half back, and NAL
lory, goal. McGilvray and Hart are picked
for the line men the other five. Muir
laugh would play the central position and

RUMORS PUT At REST
BY OWNERS AGREEMENT
Watkins Says There Is No Chance
for Change in the Asso-
citation Circuit.
NOW ON A FIRM BASIS

THE agreement made at the Chicago
meeting of the American Association
whereby it was decided that the present
circuit should remain intact; that four
American Association cities would not con-
solidate with four Eastern League cities,
and that four association cities would not
consolidate with four Western League
cities was drawn up by the charter men,
bers of the American Association after con-
sidering the matter at the recent meeting"
said w. H. Watkins yesterday. MANY
stories had been sent out from various
cities to the effect that there would be a
change in the circuit next season. Base
ball fans in some of the cities that
mentioned as joining the Western League
desired TO know the true status of affairs,
and the agreement was made public.
L would never have purchased the Mime
apollS club had there been a chance of that
city being dropped by the American Assoc
citation. The association is on a firmer basis
now than ever before. and with no Opposi
ton in Milwaukee and Kansas City next
season there is no reason why the club
should not make money"
Mr.. Watkins announced that he had signed
Gus Munich, a left-hand pitcher, for the
Minneapolis club. Munich has been pitching
semi-professional ball in Chicago for several
years and is said to be very good man.
Watkins saw him pitch a game for Daven-
port, Ia. against Rock Island, near the
close of last season and decided he wanted
him. Munich pitched the first game of
double-header and allowed no hits, and he
pitched the first three innings of the second
game, no hits being made off of him.
Charles Ruschaupt president of the In
dianapolis club, is still confined to his home
account of sickness.

started a hard siege OF training. Ward

completing his work at Mt. Clemens Two
other bouts complete the card. the next
important contest being that between Har-
~ Cobb. OF Buffalo, and Charley Green, OF
Toledo, at $50 pounds.
The biggest Canadian crowd that has
ever witnessed a ring encounter in Ameri-
ca will be on hand. Special cars from
various parts OF the border country are
being booked and already blocks OF seats
have been reserved for the visitors Ward
