WESTERN LEAGUE IN CLASS B?
Major Organizations Likely to Insist
UDOn DFOD.

Upon Drop.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 8 The western
league officials who a lev DAYS ago
were so certain of being able to keep
their organization in Class A seem TO
have gotten +hoir signals crossed in
some manner and now it looks as
though the Western mey be dropped
to Glass B ere another season rolls
arounds Advices from Chicago ere to
the effect that the National and ALneri-
can leagues have filed a formal de-
mand with the officers of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Clubs in which they insist that the
Western league be given a Glass rat
ing in 1911.
This demand is based entirely on
selfish motives, but is expected to
carry so much weight that the West
ern league officials will be unable to
overcome tts effect.
AS long as the Western remains in
Glass A only one player can be draft
ed from each team. If the classified
ton should be dropped the major
leagues could come in at the end of
the season and grab almost an entire
team and pay considerable less as a
draft price.
If the Western is dropped to Glass B
It will mean an inferior article of base
ball all around the circuit next season
for the reason that the club owners
will not go out and pay high prices
for good players knowing that the men
can be drafted for a lower price at the
end of the season. 1t is to be hoped
that the National association board

MAY KILL WICHITA BASEBALL.
Commissioner Plans Measure Restrict
ing Size of Park.


ing Size of Park.
Wichita, Kan. Nov. 9.-There is a
possibility that Wichita may have no
association baseball next season. 1t is
quite certain that the game will not
be played here if Commissioner Roet-
gel succeeds in forcing action on a
measure introduced at the meeting of
the city commissioners today. This
measure contemplates restricting the
size of the Association park on South
Main street to such a degree that
Frank ISbell, manager of the Wichita
team, declares it would not be possible
to use the park for baseball playing.
The object in reducing the size of
the ball park is that the city may
construct a cement. sidewalk along the
east side of the park as petitioned for
by certain persons living south of the
park In order to construct this side
walk on the proper line it would be
necessary to move the east fence of
the ball park eighteen feet.
Commissioner Roetzel said the mat
ter had been urged by residents in that
part of the city and he thought the
order should be made
Commissioner Stewart said he had
been told by Frank IsbeII that If the
fence was moved it meant that there
would be no baseball next year, as it
would make the park too small and
the association was not prepared to
buy grounds and fit them up at pres
ent. Mr.. Isbell says the ball park at
present Is too small, and if the fence is
moved in a distance of eighteen feet
st would make it necessary to abandon
the park.
Commissioner Cone declared that
there was nothing but g pigeon farm
south of the ball park and he did not
think there was any immediate need
for a sidewalk at that place. On his
motion the commission decided to de-
fer action until the matter could be
investigated.

legislature for Democrats but moi
enough to reduce the large Republican
majority materially.
In King county George F. Cotteril.
Democrat candidate for the United
State senate, lost his seat in the state
senate. Ths pIura1ities of the three
congressmen-elect and five Republican
judges-elect are decisive.
The returns on which the success of
women's suffrage is based are meager,
but come from cities which the suffrage
leaders thought would vote against
them.
