TOPEKA IN WESTERN.
Official Confirmation of the Transfer
from President O'NeiIl.

Topeka will play baseball in the
Western League next season. Con-
firmation of the rumor which has been
going the rounds for some time to this
end was received by the State Journal
this afternoon from President Norris
L. O'Neil of the Western League.
This result is the outcome of an
agreement made in Buffalo last Satur-
day afternoon between President O'Neill
of the Western League, Dr. D. M
Shively of the Western Association and
j. H Farrell secretary of the National
Association of minor baseball leagues
The terms in the agreement have not
as vet been made public but 1t is sup
posed that an agreement was mace
whereby DR.. Shively will receive IN
CONDENSATION for letting go of Topeka,
the right to place club in Kansas
City, Kansas. 1t is certain that some
concession must have been made TO the
Western Association president or ne
would have never entered any coLhpio-
mise especially after having fought the
proposition of the Western League an
winter. -
Topeka will now play much faster
article of ball in the Western league.
Instead of playing in class Z leasue
with small towns such as Hutchinson
and Leavenworth to play in, they VIII
now be in class A league whlcn
plays in a circuit composed OF tle
largest towns in the west. me new
Western league will be composed OF
Des Moines and Sioux CITY, IN iowa ;
Omaha and Lincoln in Nebraska; Den
yer and Pueblo, in Colorado; st.
Joseph, in Missouri; and Topeka, IN
Kansas.
Manager Dick Cooley of the local
team. who has received many offers OF
late to manage various teams, the
OFFER from Louisville being very
tempting one, will refuse to- sign with
Louisville or any other team. He has
not yet signed with Louisville although
many ruinofs have +5eenT going tne
rounds to that effect. He Will stay IN
Topeka and manage the local team.
Now that Topeka is in the Western
league it will take some big efforts on
the part of Cooley and Crow during
the next few weeks to get together a
team which will be representative OF a
class A organization. Cooley has
many friends in baseball, however. and
it is not thought that there will be any
trouble in this regard
The St Joe team will be an entirely
new one 1t was announced SONS
ago that if Topeka should get into the
Western league that the st. Joe team
| would be managed by kid Nichols
| the old National league pitcher. How.

today, the idea prevails that it will
recommend the bill for passage just as
it come from the senate. There is
following in the house led by Stone of
Shawnee and Stubbs of Douglas who
Will probably insist on amending the
senate bill by striking out 'local at
torneys, sheriffs and chiefs of police"
There is another faction in the
house who feel that the senate anti
pass bill should be voted on just as
passed by that body for fear that if it
is amended and sent back that they
may again reverse themselves. The
feeling among these is that if the SEN
ate should refuse to accept the bill as
amended by the house that it will do
away with the possibility of antipass
legislation this session. The fear of
this condition may result in the pas
sage of the senate bill without amend
ments. If amendments are attempted
by the house it is probable that local
attorneys will be included in the list
Of those prohibited from receiving

may not insist that sheriffs and chiefs
