According to the statement of Mr..
Duncan, the big Four of the west
ern association are determined to cut
loose from their weaker sisters, are
anxious to raise the classification III
their league and to take in both To-
peka and Wichita, forming a class Il
league with a salary limit of S1'Soo
a month.
The letter from Mr.. Duncan is as
follows:
.r+ His Letter.
Oklahoma City, Nov. 20, 1916:
Sporting Editor State journal, Topeka
Kan.
+, Dear Sir: Not knowing who would
he the proper person for me to ad-
dress there but knowing that you are
in position to bear my message, L
am writing you concerning Topeka
representation at meeting OF the
Western association here next Sunday.
Tulsa. Oklahoma City, Muskogee
and Fort Smith are determined on Il
reorganization of the Western aSsOcl-
alton whereby it can be advanced TO
IL classification. This would mean the
elimination of the three Texas MEM
beers, and the incorporation OF JoplIn,
Springfield, wichita ana IopYka.
such a circuit with $1,000 salary
limit not only would give the fans a
good brand of baseball, but would be
moneymaker.
My information Is that Topeka ana
Wichita territories are available. Also
that the majority of the fans at both
nIaccs would not be averse to getting
into such IA league. Frankly. l be-
Iieve they would be better satisfied
than 10 remain where they are.

President Okla. City ID. b. Club.
Many Favor Plan.
Since the close of the 1916 season
there has been much talk of Topeka
and Wichita becoming members OF the
Western ASSOCIATION, and there seems
TO nc a desire on the part of many
local fans to get into a league where
tie Topeka club will not have such q
hard time making ends meet and
where there will be more of chance
to have club always in the race than
there is in the Western league
The fact that John Savage, present
owner of the Topeka franchise, was
not at the New Orleans meeting and
that he has stated definitely that he
has had enough" leads to the belief
that any one interested in putting a
Western association franchise in To-
peka will find little opposition and will
be insured the support of many local
fans.
At the close of last season Savage
stated definitely that he would not
have a club here next season, but since
then he has done nothing in the way
of finding another berth for his fran
chise and the only drawback in the
proposed affiliation with the Western
association is the possibility that the
