Late Start in Western League Show.
Good Rasults.


Good Results.
Kansas City, June 15.-As vindica-
ton Of the Western leagues plan Of
starting the season May 1. this year,
instead Of April Is, President r. w.
Dickerson, whose headquarters is in
Kansas City, points to the fact that in
the first sixteen days Of the schedule
only one out of the sixty -four games
was postponed.
President Dickerson said he con-
tended for late start when the sched-
ule was being considered because it
was his belief that only one in ten
Aprils Is warm and clear enough for
baseball. He said that club owners OF
the Western league in the past had lost
considerable money because of post
poned games early in the season.
