BLOW-OTF AT FRISCO MEET
0Neill and Hanlon Both Expected
to Land at Association Meeting
to Represent Western.
MAGNATEs MAY ALSO ATTEND

The climax OF the summary dismissal
Of one Tip oINeill as head OF the West
ern league IL expected 10 come when
the National Association OF Professional
Base Ball Leagues meets In san Fran
cisco in November.
For I'd Hanlon Of Sioux City will 60
TO the meeting in the capacity OF vice
president and acting executive OF the
loop. Inasmuch as o'Nolil refuses 20
believe that he can be fired by the mag
mates without his own consent. Il IL
expected that Tip will also light In the
coast city with the express purpose OF
representing the league as It's president
And then the first round will be
fought with both o'Nelll and Hanlon
on the job TO represent the league as It's
head the biow-off Is expected 10 occur
when Il comes time 20 decide which II
shall be who will cast tho leagues vote
during the official session.
And Il is likely to DO some blow-off.
o'Neill has contract that he considers
iroh-bound. Hanlon has mind OF his
own that Ia equally iron-bound and II
Is one certain cinch the Sioux city man
will put UP hot scrap n an effort r.
made to declare Tip tho official
executive.
MaEnatea May Attend.
Il may be that all of the magnates
of the league will he on hand 20 take
part In the muss. Hugh Jones OF Lin
coin. Jimmy fMcGfii Of Denver and
Frank Isbell Of the Des Moines annually
spend tho winter on the coast and they
arc sure TO be on hand. II Is very prob.
able that Pa Rourke will duck out for
the dolngs. Holland. Savage and. Eb-
right may be induced TO do the same
thing. Thus league meeting with the
entire outfit on the Job may be held
and then the conflict can be settled.
1t has been freely circulated around the
Western league that n meeting was 20
be held I'm Omaha October 16. This re-
port Is absolutely false. as not even a
suggestion was made that another meet-
ing be held here.
Holland and Isbell. It Is said. intend
to battle for their positions on the board
of directors. They were both bounced
because they refused TO attend the
meeting here In September. Holland and
Isbeli may put up their fight but II is
not likely TO do them much good II the
remaining club owners stick to the new
board.
Holland seems to be In trouble In st.
Joseph. 81 several reports emanating from
that city can be credited. These reports
declare factions Of Joetown fans are de-
manding that Holland sell out as he has
been a disappointment as a magnate.
Holland. however. is sticking TO the ship
and refuses to sell. declaring he will
own and run the team another year.
Evidently the job as president Of the
Western league appeals 20 many base
ball men as Pa Rourke and the other
club owners have received dozens OF let
tiers from men who are ANXIOUS 10 tackle
the job which proved such hotbed for
o'NeiiL Rourke declares the magnates
have not considered who should be given
the Job. but that they intend TO wait
awhile.
II has been reported in Chicago that
I'd Hanlon win be given the Job. Han
Ion, however. declares the report Is
Eroundless and that he would not take
the iob II II were offered To him. I'd
finds II trouble enough TO run a big
paving business and q ball club. let alone
adding the burdens of an entire league 10
his shoulders.
