Western League Celebrates
Twenty-Fifth Birthday This
Season—Weathers Many Storms
Jack Holland, Now Owner of Oklahoma City Indians, League
Champions, Started With Denver as Player—Only One
Still in Circuit Who Started ^ ith League.
By CHARLES J. BRILL.
MEN havo come and gone; fans
have been frenzied and si
lenced; stars have risen, sky
rocketed on into the zenith of major
baguedom. faded and 3isapi>eaj-ed;
fortunes have been made and lost;
cities have come In and gone out—
but the Western league has gone on
and on since it was launched 25 years
This year marks the quarto-cen
tennial of the W'estern league of pro
fessional basball clubs. As one
pauses on its birthday to look back
over its first quarter of a century,
c is struck by the realization that
had forgotten most of wliat he had
^llawn of its interesting career.
Name Rich in Heritage.
"Western league” is a name rich
in heritage. It even antedates the
present organization. The American
league was (lie Western league until
tlic- late ’ttb's. Ran Johnson, auto
cratic lie,id of the American league
today, once was its president. The
American association also is an off
spring of the Western league. Thomas
.1. llickey, now lender of that near
major. was the founder and the pres
ident of the Western league of today.
Coining into being during the strife
between the National league and the
outlaw American association in 1!100,
its first quarter of a century has
been a tempestuous one;
Refusing overtures of the Ameri
can association to desert organized
baseball for a renegade ‘ career, the
Western leufcue, jn its Infancy, was
forced to tight these outlaws for its
lory existence.
Suffers by Federal Raids.
Emerging front this struggle, badly
mangled, but still full of tight, It went
on its way serenely until, while an
innocent bystander, it suffered raids
from the last basball pirate, the l ed
eral league, a decade ago.
It was Just beginning to function
normally again when the world war
broke out. After struggling bravely
• gainst the inevitable, it finally was
forced, along with moat of the other
minors, to suspend in mldseason of
1918.
With peace tame its reconstrui -
Sion; and though its bulders were
^sed to stil t from wrecked founda
tions, they stuck courageously to the
task, and today—at 23 years of age,
it once more is a virile, vital factor
,n the baseball world.
Holland Sole Survivor.
Of those who were part of the
league at its birth, only one still
remains Identlfed with the organiza
tion. Of the six cities which com
prised the league in 1900 only four
si 111 hold membership, and of these
four only two have maintained con
tinuous relationship.
Jack Holland, then a player in the
ranks of the Denver club, )s the sole
Mirvtvor of the Western leaguers of
:r00. Since then he has fought his
way up the ladder from private to
captain, from captain to manager,
and from manager to dub owner. By
a coincidence lie helped Denver win
the first Western league pennant
Oklahoma City Indians won the last
one.
Denver. Des Moines, Sioux City,
Omaha, St. Joseph and l’ueblo made
up tiie infant Western league of 1900
finishing in the order named. Of
these, only Omaha and Des Moines
have carried through without falter
ing. Pueblo soon after the start was
forced to give up Its franchise. It
tried again later, but again it failed.
Denver was forced out during the
world war. St. Joseph had its vacant
years. Sioux City lias just blown for
the third time.
Of those who sat around the coun
cil table and launched the Western
league 21 years ago. William A. "Pa”
Flottrke was the last to pass out. lie
sold his (jnvihn franchise immediately
after jhe war. Now tie wants lack in.
Nineteen Ilaxe Keen Members.
In addition to those cities which
made up the original Wi stern and
tiio.se which now' comprise its mem
brrshtp, Kansas city, Milwaukee,
Sioux City, St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Colorado Springs, Peoria. Topeka,
Joplin and Hutchinson have held
franchises in the organization—a
total of 19 cities, ranging in popula
tion from I'-ss than 20.000 to nearly
a quarter of a million.
Though its population most of the
time has Iwen less than the mini
mum established by the national a^
socintion for a class A league, the
Western never has hem rated undo
th t < 1 o^iflentiou. That it always
should have a classification was one
of flic compromises in the peace
terms, whereby the league surrend
eird some of Its largest cities to the
American association 20 years ago.
More than once it has had to fight
for this honor, mainly through the
Jealousy of the Texas league, but the
national association always has stuck
to its promise—though It merely was
a verbal agreement.

Billy Wells Decisively Defeats
Jimmie J ones in Ten Rounds
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 26. — Billy
Wells used his head and his skill to
check the bull llke rushes of Jimmy
Jones and carry him to a decisive
point victory In their 10-round fight
here last night.
It was not a pleasing fight, but it
was a conclusive victory. Jones ap
peared helpless before the clever
punch eliplng from the Britisher. Ills
leads were invariably wide and tho
force of the blow Invariably carry
ing him Into clinches In which lie was
hornless. Realizing ho was no match
for Wells at Infighting, Jones locked
hfa hands behind his oppoent's back
made a wrestling watch of It,
f forcing Wells to the ropes and ! hero
clung until the referee had pried
I them apart.
I "Very few dean blows were si ruck.
■I Wells was content to let ojries do
1 the loading and Jones was powerless
I to do It effectively. Wells' sharp
hooks and uppercuts In tho clinches
scored his points and had Jones
bleeding freely from mouth and nose
by the sixth round.
Part of the flatness of the bout
Is attributed to tho fact that both
fighters had been so hedged about
by Instruction from the stale commis
sion as a result of their fall from
the ring here In nn earlier battle that
nejther felt free to fight • *» Ms
natural style.
During the first five rounds Jones
hml a shade the better of It by win
ning tho first two nnd stundlng even
in tho third, fourth and fifth. From
that point on, however, Wells be
gan to work out a plan of defense
which gave him sonio freedom to
•swing at close range, and more than
once ho made Jones flinch with
hooks lo the body. Jones, however,
was novor stung enough to bo driven
from his bearllke clinch.

How l.or.g Will lie Be Manager.
BARN'EY BURCH, owner of the
Omaha Buffaloes, < going to
manage the 1924 . _erd in its
'race toward the top of tne Western
league race.
The owner of th. flub i< an all
around player, having played all posi
tions on the team. He is a catcher
by trade, and during his stay in
the Texas circuit was considered one
of the best backstops in the loop.
Burch and the late Mike Finn
purchased the Omaha franchise
from "Pa" Kotirke in 1921. Jack
l.olivelt, now pilot of the Tulsa
club, managed the Buffaloes that
season, fn 1922 Bttreli started out
as manager and the Herd ended the
season under the guiding mitts of
one "l ap" Feid.v. Fast season Ed
Konetchy bossed the Buffaloes.
Now Barney cornet to bat a- man
ager. Me says he will not do any
playing. Howes er. It is our gucs
that before many weeks pass after
the league gets started Burch will
have a manager,
Burch wanted to ge a playing man
ager. sort of a first baseman who
could play the sack and manage the
team at the same time, but the sign
ing of McCarty, former Syracuse fli-t
Barker, means that Omaha will not
have a playing manager ut first base
this coming season.

Washington Infielder and base

Sawyer has been with the Vernon

the last few years and objects to
Ills sale to the Wichita dub of this
circuit, lie Inis appealed to .fudge
l.amlis, high commissioner of basi

"sold out" of the Pacific Coast
league, class \ into tile Western
league, without first being offered
for sale in flic coast league, as the
rule provides.
The former major leaguer declares
two of the coast teams want him
badly.

Several months ago Wells was d>

was said to hate lung trouble anil
a lot of other thing*. The Knglish

A short time ago he returned to
the boxing game and through his
manager, rharlle Harvey, shrewd lit

the road to a mnteh with Champion
Walker. His victory over Jones, e n
