STILL DREAM OF TOPEKA.
Western League Promoters Enlarging
the Circuit-On Paper.

Western League Promoters Enlarging
the Circuit-On Paper.
Des Moines, Feb. 4.-The big ques-
ton which is facing the Western
league is whether it will be an eight or
ten club league for the coming year.
The magnates are working, and there
may be something doing in the direc-
ton of Topeka, which will make the
baseball world take notice. 1t would
not take a large slice of money to buy
control of the Western association,
and this may be the outcome of the
affair
With the beginning of practice two
months away several teams of the
league are not at their normal
strength. The manager of Denver an
nounces that he win have team this
year which will be contender for the
pennant: and the fact that he has
slated all but two of last years team
for the AK indicates he either will have
brush league team for sure or good
one.
The Des Moines infield will be as
strong as last year. and the outfleld
will be only a little weaker. The
pitching talent is the only question af-
fecting Des Moines. and there are
enough veterans to carry this along
until the cast-offs of the big league
are ready for the minors
Lincoln, under the management of
"Ducky' Holmes, seems to be the
team which will be the real contender
for the rag this years, as it is stronger
than last year and will have a year.
experience together.
Sioux City must depend upon the
man selected to manage the team. 1t
has the players, but thus far no man
ager has been signed, unless Arthur
Granville is to get the. position. He
has been signed to play third, and
Duncan could do worse than have him
handle the team, as his two years as
manager in the Southern league were.

The one team which seems to be
weakening is Omaha. Practically the
whole Omaha inf1eld is open, and the
outfield is also a problem. Gonding
