HOW CHICAGO MISSED
ASSOCIATION BERTH

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE story of
how Chicago missed becoming mem
Der of the American Association in
1901 with the late Captain Arson as
manager. was revealed today during
tanning bee with Thomas J. Hickey,
president of the organization.
Our organization was not knocking
at the door OF Chicago" Mr.. Hickey
said. I'VE already had one foot across
the threshold, having obtained an op-
ton on the piece of ground where
stands the present Chicago National
League ball park.
Arrangements for financing the club
here. had been made with Bob Burke,
who at that time was city oil inspector,
and his associates Will Chase of Des
Moines, Ia, Mr.. Hickey said
Everything had been agreed upon
and forfeit had been placed in Mr..
Hickeys hands by Mr.. Chase. On the
morning of the big meeting, Arson
and Mr.. Chase came to Hickey's Office
with a note from the oil inspector,
stating that he would have to abandon
the plan.
Mr.. Hickey told Burke plans had
gone too far to be abandoned, but Mr.
Burke refused to go on. There was no
body else available to take Mr.. Burke's
place in the venture, and the associa-
ton abandoned its Chicago invasion.
