Sedalia at lola.
Next year the name of the Missouri
Valley League will be changed to the
Western Association. This is the pro-
posal which President Shiveley will
lay before the annual meeting next
spring. He has already protected the
title with the national association, I'M
til May 1 of 1905. THE name sounds
good to me-" said DR.. Shiveley. There
souri, Valley. Walter Wilmot, when
here with his Butte team, said to me:
'Shiveley, you have one of the incest
leagues of its size in the world, but
for heavens sake change its name.
III tell you the reason. When a man
is tried out in the big teams and pans
out unusually poor, they say right off
that he must be from the Missouri
Valley. They do not mean the league,
but simply have become accustomed to
the expression I believe that we are
entitled to name of more breadth and
scope and I think Western Association
fills the bill. There was a league here
some years ago known by the name of
Western Association but it has moved
farther east and become the Tnree-I
league. We are playing better ball to-
day that the Texas league and are
having fully as interesting games as
the American association in Kansas
City today"

year, but he certainly can trot any
body a. close heat for second place. Cy
is a really good slab artist. He demon
strated that again last Saturday by
pitching nine innings against Sedalia
without giving the Goldbugs a hit By
hard luck he lost the game, the infield
making two costly errors behind him.
But that stunt is not new one for
Cy. Last year he played with Pitts
burg and pitched and won a q inning
game, Keeping lola from getting hit
for eleven consecutive innings. That
feat is performed perhaps three or four
times all over the country each season.

Abbott is playing first base with
Topeka on the present trip, despite
the contrary statement that he had
been released and WorraH put on the
initial sack. On Friday night before
the team started on it's present double
series, AIbertS released Abbott. An
hour afterwards the whole team petit
toned Alberts to give the big first
baseman another chance. Old Spar
tacus granted it. Abbott told him
that if he did not hit and play a prac-
tically errOrless game at first he would
hand in his resignation as soon as he
got back to Topeka. Here is his
record for Saturdays and Sundays
games: Batting average, four hits ont
of seven times at the bat, $40; field
ing average errorless, accepting nine
teen chances, 1000.

others are slated to go. Faster
men," says Jake Bene, will take their

There will probably be trouble be-
fore the season is much older over the
attitude which some of the league
pitchers assume in the box. Several
of the twirlers stand with their feet
across the slab. thus giving them a
chance to cross-fire- A number of
managers declare that this is a bait
while others believe it legitimate. The
national rules are against the pitcher
using that position. So it is up to
President Shiveley.

hit him with a baseball if he ever
dared to come out on the diamond. He
preached for fifteen minutes one even

he is against Topeka because Kansas

plan with all the fancy attributes. Cy
has a lot more oddities, but there is
one thing about him. he never quits.
There is no yellow in him. He likes to
loaf occasionally-but he never gives
up, and that is what has made him
an exceptional pitcher. He is difficult
| to manage, say those who have tried
the job, but every one has a good word
to say for his arm. He has only been
playing professional ball for three or
four years. He tells now and where

wears ago. One day he was watching
a contest near Pittsburg between pick

piled. He admits that ne scarcely

be doubted. but it's straight albright
