AMERICANS WILL
GOBBLE PLAYERS.
O|SBAND CLUBS
(By Associated Press)

Chicago. July 20.--Suspension of
the Western, Southern, Pacific Coast,
International and Texas baseball
leagues wills benefit the American
Association, according to President
Thomas j. Hickey, who asserts that
the best talent of the disbanded Or
ganizations will be signed to strength
en- the association clubs.
Approximately 800 players, ma
jority of them over draft age, are
available for immediate service, as Il
result of the collapse of the four
leagues, President Hickey said, al
though the best talent in the South
ern Association already has been
snapped up by the major and big
minor leagues. As soon as the mud
died baseball situation is cleared OF
the uncertaisty prevailing over Gen
cral Crowder's "work or fight" regu-
lations, the American Association will
add forty or fifty new players to its
roster.
"Since the suspension of the West
cyn and other leagues, our club own
ers have been in Communication with
the players thrown out Of employment
and we expect to. land some very
promising talent President Hickey
said.
I'VE will, Of course, first negotiate
with players over the draft age.
"As is generally known. the base
hall business is anything bat. sue
cess this season, due to the war stu
alton, but in view of the fact that our
organization will go through with its
season we have decided to give the
public the highest standard of the
game possible"
President Hickey returned from
Kanses City and Indianapolis enthu-
siastic over the possibilities of twi-
light games The "after supper"
sport was started in the Hoosier cap
ital with success.
