LIBERTY LEAGUE"
 BUT A PIPE DREAM
President Western League Says Proposed Organiza-
 ton Merely a Joke

Kansas City, July 10.-E w. Dick erson, president of the Western league. declared on his return to Kansas City that the suggestion of Jack Holland, head of the Oklahoma City Western league team. that Liberty league be formed of several clubs from the Western and Texas leagues should not be given serious consideration. MT. Dickerson was emphatic in his asser- ton that no such league would be formed.
 At directors meeting in Omaha yes terday it was decided to cease opera tions of the Western league until the close of the war. At meeting in Fort CTS that organization also decided to conclude their 1918 season with Sun days games
 "The Western league guarantees pro- lection to it's cities, and the Texas league also protects it's territory said Mr. Dickerson. Although we have dis banded, organized baseball would heed our protest against the move suggested by Mr. Holland. Organized baseball would not permit this. The suggestion should be considered as a joke"
 MT. Dickerson said he would soon as sume the duties of an athletic director in the army.
 Mir. Dickerson gave out the text of the resolution adopted by the Western league at Sundays meeting in Omaha. It follows:
 Therefore be it resolved. by the club owners of yhe Western league. That we place patriotism above profit, and that lit is the sense of this meeting that the Western league does hereby aban- don It's operations until the close of the war. and that each club owner and play CT does hereby offer his services to his country in order that the greatest of all American pennants, the Stars and Stripes, may wave triumphantly over the spires of Berlin" President Dickerson gave a number of reasons for tue action taken by his league.
 Public sentiment" he declared, "is against baseball during the war; club owners do not want to keep men out of the war, and the league was losing money as a result of the increased cost I of transportation"

Editor's Note: This Is the fourth of a series of seven articles which Mir. Cor bett is writing concerning the career of the late Stanley Ketchel, one of the most marvellous ring warriors of all time, the next installment will appear tomorrow.)
 It was in the little town of Marysville, Cal, on July 4, 1907, that Stanley netchel fought a battle that surprised the pugi- listic world and helped to pave the road that soon was to lead him on to fame and to fortune.
 Rcxing enthusiasts in that town decided they wanted to have boxing carnival on Independence Day. By making a big financial inducement, they secured the promise of Joe Thomas to appear there that day and fight any man they would pit against him 20 rounds to a decision The promoters tried to get some of the stellar performers in the middleweight division, but all of them were booked up for fights on that date.
 Just when they were in despair over getting an opponent for Thomas, some
 one suggested:
 Why don't you get Stanley KetchelT' They got ketchel-because they couldn't get anyone else.
 The thought that Ketchel would last mcro than a few rounds with Thomas never entered their minds Thomas
 seemed to have everything master ringman needed and was looked upon then as the greatest of active middle
 weights. And Ketchel, they reckoned, was nothing but a first-class fourth rater.
 Those who went to the contest that
 night expecting to see Thomas bewilder- ing his foe by his flashy ring work.
 and who expected Thomas to score an easy victory over the bush leaguer, got the surprise of their lives. Ketchel
 carried the fight to Thomas from be- ginning to end He was at his man through every minute of the whiriwino duelling. He took all that Thomas could hand him-and kept going in for more The fight was called draw because the science of Thomas offset the slug ging aggressiveness of Ketchel. But tnt

An opih- ion on the question is now berore the Secretary of War and his decision Will De given in the next few days.
 T should hate to see anything done said the secretary, that would wreck the natonal game. But do not want you to take this as foreshadowing my decision in the matter"

 Morgan Blake has just rid his system of very touching little ballad anent the prowess of the "Georga Peach" whose swatting drive has featured the past month in the American league bat ting race. The music to these words can be found at any "bar"-room.
 THE SAME OLD STORY. Said Iris to MT. Sisler: This Tvs an
 awful slob.
 He spots us fifty points apiece, ere he
 gets on the job;
 This life would be joyous one, and
 all things would be so gay Could we lead him in September as we
 do in May"
 Chorus:
 They can't lead him in September like
 they do in May
 For he comes back in that same old
 dauntless way.
 When his hairs all turned to gray, and
 he's gone blind in the fray. They may lead him in September like
 they do in May.
 The plan of Jack Holland, former "boss'' of the Oklahoma City Western league team, to organize Liberty league among cities of the defunct Western and Texas circuits is even more ludicrous than Cholly Franks six-club Southern organization. To begin with, fans over the country have thoroughly demonstrat- |, ed their attitude toward minor leagu baseball and any attempts to put over a
