Springfield Leader: Complaint has
| been made to President D. M. Shively
| of the Western association, that Wich1-
! ia and Oklahoma City are paying no
attention to the salary limit and he is
asked to force all teams to comply with
| the rules of the association. This COM
plant, it is understood, voices the sem
| timent of all the managers except the
| two cities in question.
The salary limit of the western as
ISOLATION is $1,000 month. Wichita
and Oklahoma City are spending just
| about twice that much. Wichita is
and would be in the first division in
| that organization. Oklahoma City is
| likewise strong enough for class A
| league. The Western association teams
|
came in today with fifteen.
The salary limit rule has never been
strictly observed. Springfield is car
rying thirteen men and its salary ac-
count is about $1,000 month. This
applies throughout the league. Never
theless, the managers say, that the rule
must be enforced and if necessary ev-
| cry team brought down to the $1,000
basis in order to get rid of $1,000
If President ShiSeIy does not act
| the matter will be carried to Secretary
Farrell of the National association of
minor clubs and it is certain that radi-
cal action may be expected.

him to take good care of himself until

The following from a Garden City pa
per tells of a recent performance of
Ralph Clark, the Garden City southpaw
who tried out with the White Sox this |
spring: Ralph Clark, the Garden City
south paw, won his own game at Film |
wood yesterday when he pitched for the
Garfield ball team. The rivalry between |
Garfield and Ellinwood in baseball has
been quite strong and both teams were |
reinforced by strong outside players. |
Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Clark went down |
to Ellinwood yesterday morning to see |
the game and they say it was intensely |
interesting. Eleven innings were played |
with but two scores made on each side. |
In the twelfth Clark was the first man |
to the bat and he put out a three Dagger. |
He scored on this and also brought in a |
man in the other inning. Ellinwood |
failed to score in the twelfth and the |
score stood to 2. Powers, who pitched /
for Ellinwood struck out nine men and |
allowed six hits. Clark struck out |
twelve men and allowed only four hits. |
