with Tulsa replacing Denver, the

Western League Beats
W. A. to 1t.

And while the Western association
struggled and slept. the Western
league has been up and doing. 1t Is
going to dominate the new organiza-
tion. Instead of the Western associa-
ton having four members in the new
league. It will have only two. The
transfer OF the Topeka franchise to
Joplin was the first step. 1t was not
until the last few weeks, or since the
rise of +. w. Dickerson to the presi-
dency OF the northern circuit, that the
real Significance OF this move became
apparent, for at first 1t was believed
that after this year Wichita and Jop-
lin would find the pace too fast and
would drop out and become available
for the new Western association.
ON the contrary. however. Wichita
and Joplin have been drawing large
crowds and instead Of driving the
Western league north, they have at
tracted 1t south. While here President
Dickerson refused to commit himself
on the question OF what franchises
would be transferred to Tulsa and Ok
lahoma City. merely stating positively.
and with ali the authority Of his Of
flee. that the Western league would
come In. 1t is hardly necessary for
him to commit himself on the ques-
ion. The first transfer Is bound to
be Denver. That city has not been
drawing as 1t should to make up for
the enormous mileage 1t puts onto the
circuit Altho the st. Joseph fran.
chise is on the market. President
Dickerson, when asked II that fran
chise would be transferred here. said
II would not. And now he has gone
to Hutchinson. Kan, with the avOwed
purpose OF planting the Drummers
there. II Hutchinson Is not ready for
it. then the franchise probably will
change hands and be kept In st. Jo-

Controlling POlUer

Had someone in the Western associa-
tion taken the initiative the Western
association would have dominated this
new league.---psestAsRt Scott of the
Tulsa club and President Duncan OF
Oklahoma City wanted to do this last
winter. They realized that the old
Western association was doomed. that
the Texas cities could not posi- bly,
stick during another season and that
McAlester was fatally weak. But when
they suggested 1t they were met with
charges of treason to the association.
so they dropped 1t.
Now is coming the fulfilment Of the
their prophecies. No one tries longer
to kid himself into believing that the
Western association can survive
longer than this season. 1t may fin
ish out this race intact, but it is
more than likely that 1t will be re-
duced to six or eight clubs before the
close. Some OF the weaker members
cannot hold out unless they get more
money when they are in Tulsa than
they have been getting. 1t was in the
hope of building up the local patron
age and that at Denison and ArdmOre
that owner Scott made such a hard
fight at Thursdays meeting to have
the season split.

her little child, was seated in the au-

The intruder was Knocked "cold' for a

Nr. Vinyard had stepped into the

unteered to be among the first number
of men to be sent to the training camp.
Following the instructions of the War
Department, the Registration Board of
Cape Girardeau County selected such
men for the first call who had already
had military training and such men
who had no dependency.
Ranney recently returned from the
officers training camp at Fort Riley.
and was among the first to be sum-
moned for physical examination.
Mueller, who had received his military
training while attending college, was
also readily accepted because of his
experience. The remaining six were
chosen because they were single men
who had not claimed exemption.
The War Department has issued an
order to call men who are skilled in
some trade. The first division of men
sent to the training camp will be
trained for the supply department of
the army.
The first eight men selected from
Cape Girardeau County for the draft
army have been ordered to appear at
the Courthouse in Jackson Wednesday
morning, at 8 o'clock. They will be
given their military papers and trans
portation to the training camp. They
may chose the road on which to travel
to the training camp.
