owners of the Joplin team are banking
a lot on him next season.
At the association

At the association meeting two reso-
lutions were passed which if they are
enforced will help great deal next
season. A fine of fifty dollars is to be
levied against any player who assaults
panied by a ten days suspension. A
second fine of one hundred dollars will
be levied against the team to which
the rowdy player belongs. The other
rule was the raising of the salary limit
from 1900 per month to $1,000. This
it was agreed should be rigidly en-
forced If this rule is followed it may
prevent Wichita from running away in
another contest.
