PLAN CHANGES
IN MINOR LEAGUES
Virtually Every One in
Country Will Undergo I'M
portant Changes
HOLD MEETING NOV. 13

Just as certain as the Kaiser eventually
will draw his unconditional release, the
whole minor league baseball map of the
United States is going to be redstrcted
when the annual meeting of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues occurs at Louisville, starting No
vember l3.
Leagues which will undergo wholesale
changes in the redistribution Of territory
are:
American Association, Glass AA.
International League, Glass AA.
Pacific Coast League, Glass AA.
Western League, Class A.
Southern Association, Glass A.
New York State League, Glass b.
Eastern League Glass B.
Northwestern League Glass B.
Western Association. Class d.
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 and the Inter-
national, and it is this change which will
force supplementary changes in the West
ern and in which Omaha and Nebraska is
largely interested.
Certain cities now in the American As
sociation will band with certain other
cities now, occupying International terri
tory. ThiS is the rolling stone which will
precipitate real avalanche and shake the
National Association to its roots. The
whole complexion of the minor league map
will be changed.
The dope sheet calls for Indianapolis,
Toledo, Columbus and Louisville, of the
American Association, to link with Balti-
more Newark, Buffalo and Toronto, of the
International. in new league. This league
it is said, will eventually become third
major league.
Minneapolis, st. Paul Milwaukee and
| Kansas City will remain as nucleus to a
/ new American Association, or perhaps they
will call it the Western League. To these
! four cities win be added Omaha, Des
| Moines, st. Joseph and perhaps Peoria. Or
| it is possible this will be a six-club league
| with Peoria and St. Joseph out Of it. AS
signment of territory in this league is in
| definite and will not be known until the
meeting gets under way.
OF the International cities Providence, II
is said. is slated for berth in the Eastern
League This league then will be ad.
vanced to Glass A. Rochester will go to
bolster up the faltering New York State
League Montreal will drop out of sight
as probably will Richmond.
/ The new Western Association will con.
| sist of Joplin, wichita and Topeka, cast-of
Western League territory, with Okahoms
City, Tulsa and other Western Association
towns. This league probably would be ad
vanced from Glass d TO Class b.

INHRlSTAIAS is coming. and so far as the
" fellows who play golf and who are now
either in France or in cantonments are con-
cerned, it is not going to be the Christmas
Of other years unless their fellow golfers
get busy and make the time pleasant for

golfers are in the service of the country.

to make things pleasant for the men AT

in service and five of these are already in

are at Allentown and some are down
South.
SO the members are going to see that
every one of them gets big box of smokes
and other things for Christmas
In addition the club will shortly swing
to the breeze a service flag from the big
nag pole near the locker house.
Possibly other golf clubs are doing the
same thing. But news of 1t has not yet
trickled through to me. / shall be glad to
make note of similar action on the part of
any and every golf club in the Philadelphia

seems a pity that the men who have gone

have that service flag flying from the flag
pole.

considering any championship.
But when an event can be arranged
whereby 10000 or 10000 persons will be-
wiling to pay out 100000 for the cause of
army equipment or other needs not covered
by the set fund. that event should be very
well worth while.
II would be easily possible TO collect this
amount from an Army-Navy game at the
Polo Grounds ~
1t would be possible to collect almost this
amount by a Michigan-Chlcago game in

As things go now, any amount of extra

major of infantry, now stationed at one of

tor Hoover's cndcavors to conserve

that "whcatlcss Wednesday" was a
failure.
Visits 70 numerous small bakeries
showed that there was no lct-up in the
amount of white bread offered for sale
Practically all the bakers, small and
big, interviewed by The Tribune yes
terday admitted that there was only
one solution TO the problem to enact
legislation absolutely forbiddng the
making, selling or delivery of white
bread one day in each week.
The Tribune's investigation yester-
day showed that practically all the
smaller restaurants failed TO observe
"wheatless Wednesday"
This was true Of most Of the chain
restaurants and cafeterias. Those chain
restaurants which observed "meatless
Tuesday" also observed 'wheatless
Wednesday," and in the automats,
Childs', Thompson's and a few others
white bread could not be had. All OF
those places, however. offered pastry
made OF white -four.
While all of the big hotels did not
use rye in their pastry yesterday, none
Of them used white flour in their bread.

failure of Washington 20 make proper
