years and which was brought to the
forefront last summer by President Al
Tearney Of the Three-Eye League is be-
ing predicted as one Of the sure
things of the approaching meeting OF
the national association at Louisville
one week from tomorrow.
Some May Wait for Peace.
Some Of these leagues may not at
tempt TO start next season because or
war conditions, but 1t is believed that
they will be planned and then made
ready for launching as soon as the war
is over.
Leagues which will undergo whole
sale changes In the redistribution or
territory are:
American association, Glass AA.
International league, Glass AA.
Pacific Coast league, Class AA.
Western league, Glass A.
Southern asso citation, Class A.
New York State league. Class b.
Eastern league, Class X.
Northwestern league, Class B.
Western association, Class ID.
Other leagues, too, may undergo
changes, but the above circuits are
the principal ones to be involved.

The most radical change centers
around the American association ana
the International and it is this change
which will force supplementary
changes in the Western, and in which

Omaha goes Up.
Minneapolis. st. Paul, Milwaukee
and Kansas City will remain as a nu-
cleus to a new American association
or perhaps they will call 1t the West
ern league. To these four cities will
be added Omaha, Des Moines. st. JOS
eph and perhaps Peoria. Or, 1t Is pos
sible. this will be siX-club league
with Peoria and st. Joseph out or II.
Assignment Of territory in this league
is indefinite and will not be known
until the meeting gets under way.
OF the International cities, Provl-
dence, II is said, is slated for berth
in the Eastern league. This league
then will be advanced to Glass A.
Rochester will go to bolster up the
faltering New York State league.
- Montreal will drop out of sight, as
probably viii Richmond.
The New Western association VIII
consist of Joplin, Wichita and Topeka.
castoff Western league territory, with
Oklahoma City, Tulsa and other West

probably would be advanced from
Glass ID to Class B.
