The league went thru the season of
1921 exceptionally well for a new
league. Parsons being the only weak
member and that franchise later was
transferred to Cushing, Okla, which
finished the season.
The Southwestern league. with To-
peka and Hutchinson included. has a
total population Of $4,000 against the
Western associations total population
OF $4,000. and has a much shorter
mileage
With the addition of Topeka, Hutch
inson and Salina to the league this sea
son il bids fair to be one of the strong
est minor leagues in organized base
ball.
I am sure that before the season
hardly gets started. the Topeka fans
will be well pleased with the brand of
baseball in the Southwestern league.
