TEAM TO TOPEKA
City VIII Be Represented in S.
w. League, McCIOskey Says.
Magnates VIII Meet Here Mon
day to Plan Schedule.

Southwestern league baseball mag
mates will meet in Topeka next Mon
lay, March 20, for the purpose of
adopting a schedule and making other
arrangements for the opening of the
league season one month later.
This rather important announce
ment was made in Topeka today by
John J. MCCloskey. who managed the
Bartlesville team in the league last
year and who has devoted most of his
time the past winter and so Tar TINS
spring in attempting to get string
of towns in central Kansas to join the
league. including Topeka
Furthermore. McCloskey makes the
positive assertion that Topeka is IN
the league. He confirms the report
to the effect that TOpeka'S guarantee
has been posted with the league and
says that representative Of Ensley
Barbour, president of the league, VIII
be in the city before the meeting
Monday in an effort to complete ar
engagements for a park
No Local Money Put Up.
OF course, it wasn't local money
that formed the guarantee but the
$1,000 was put up by the league mag
mates themselves. thus showing the
confidence they have in the belief that
Topeka can be converted into a league
town and that it will support club
in a class c organization. So far. Nc
Closkey says not one penny has come
from local sources in the effort TO
place a club here.
Neither has Dick Cooley been play
ing any particular role in the devel-
opments so far, but according to Nc
Closkey the former Western league
manager is still slated to pilot the
Kaws in the new aggregation Cooley
has sold his business interests at KAN
sas City, it is said. and is slated to ar
rive in Topeka some time before Mon
day. At one time McCloskey was
slated to have charge of the Topeka
team but he has been shifted to Sa-
lima instead
Under the present plans, McCloskey
says the following towns will make up
the league the coming season: Topeka,
SaIina, Hutchinson, COffeyville, indie
pendence, BartlesviTe, Sapulpa and
Muskogee. The only chances for
change, he says, would be to eliminate
SaIina or one of the southern Kan
sas towns in favor of Joplin, which
was recently kicked out of the West
ern League.
May Build New Park
Just what arrangements McCloskey
and the other league Representatives
who are due to arrive tomorrow will
make regarding park are not known
1t appears, however. that the team Will
be forced to find a location other than
Western League park. Cap Wells,
manager of the Santa Fe semi-pro
team. who holds a lease to this park
for this year, intimated this afternoon
he would be unable to part with his
lease for $4,000. the price he named
about a month ago, because of the
money that has been spent in improv-
ing the park during the past two
weeks. That being the case it would
build park in some other part of
