GUTHRIE TO KEEP BALL CLUB.
Will Resist Effort to Change Western
Association Circuit.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 4.-Guthrie is
preparing to resist any effort to change
the composition Of the Western asso-
citation looking to the dropping Of the
towns on the west end of the circuit or
forcing them into new league which
shall bear another name. New dlrec-
tors were elected by the local club at
a meeting here last night and repre-
sentatives selected to attend the league
meeting at Kansas City to look after
Guthrie's interests.
The financial report for the year
showed that Guthrie has much better
claim to a position in fast company
than some of the other cities in the as
ISOLATION, having paid out $3.s52.30. per-
centages of gate receipts to visiting
teams, and itself receiving but s3.043.1 10
in percentages while on the road. The
attendance here was the best of any
town in the association with the posi-
BILE exception of Muskogee.
The local club came out even on the
season in the face Of an expenditure of
over $4,000 and expects to make some
money next year, as it will not be at
the expense of erecting new stands. un-
less the proposition for an uptown park
should be put through.

Phil Geier was one of the best liked
ball players on the Cooley squad last
year. Clean and steady he was an
example that many another ball player
might follow with profit. He played
the same steady consistent game all
tine way through the season and man
aged the team part of the time. If
anyone had trouble with Geier the
muffierS were so well applied that 1t
did not leak out. That Topeka finished
where she did was due in a measure
to his splendid work.
