Hourko Is'entlrely al rest concerning tho

Hovcs that the cntlro problem concerning

old Western league, with tho oamo eight
clubs and tho same salary limit, 1,800, and
with Bovon good playors signed already for
Omaha, tho local franchise owner has noth
ing moro to ask.
"Dut I was In an uncomfortable position
for a time" said Hourko. "It was last
August that thin Amorlcan association prop
osition was first broached to me by Mickey,
Tsbeau and I,cnnon, who have been tho
moving spirits In the wholo thing. I told
them then I did not want any change and
would prevent It If I could. They went
ahead anil fixed tho thing up, while I was
oontlnually opposing tho scheme. At tho
last I was forced to go Into It from solf
protcctlon, as they would not glvo mo a fair
shake. I told them that they could go
ahoad and I would not stand In their way, If
they would treat mo fairly and buy mo out,
m I did not want any of their new league.
ot an Uvrii llmik.
"They refused to do this, so I was com
pelled to go to Chicago and meet with them.
And there they gave mo this location, as Is
generally aupposod, but It win a mcro farce.
I was forced to go In under conditions. In
fact, I got tho franehlso only conditionally,
not getting. In on ns ooil terms as did
Tcbcau, Lennon, Wntklns, Qulnn and Stroo
bel. "Those men were tho big chiefs, llcall,
myself and tho Columbus representatives
wero rr.erely packing, and mighty soft pack
ing at 'that. Tho scheme was Just this:
These big guns would let the rest of us In
on short tlmo franchises, with Hcorcs of op
pressive conditions, moroly to get the
lenguo started and tided over tho fighting
season. Then as sogu an, peaco camo In the
baso ball, world thoy were playing to got
soiiio of tho bigger cities In tho east and
middle west, and drop us out cold. And
that after' wo had carried them over their
ktrugglo In tho high salaried competition
for men.
"From my experience with them last sea
son I had known what kind of men Hlckey
and Tebeau wore for Bomo time. I knew 1
would not get a square deal, but was forced
to stay with them till I saw tho outcomo of
tho 8t. Josoph meeting. Now we'ro all set
tled, and It Is their move.
"I do not sco how thoy can last at their
game, nor how thoy can hopo to compote
with us In thoBo four cities which they had
hoped to toko from tho WcHtern leaguo till
they tnd used them for their own ends

tho Western league 1b being compelled (o

will havo to do the same thing In the other
threo places, Minneapolis, Omaha nnd Kan

"In tho last place Tebeau Is already grad

though It Is at .mo that they oro aiming oa

daro to'put In a club hero when it comes to
tho scratch, but thoy may. It they do It
simply means "that thoy are willing to stand
a loss of $10,000 In Omaha.
"I am utterly' disgusted with Mickey's
ncttona In this fight. I havo Just received
a certtflcato showing that ho has drawn his
full salary as president of the Western
leaguo up to December 1. Yet every one
knows that he has been working on thin
other deal two months nt least. That Is
not square .The fact Is, that Mlckoy and
his crowd, havo simply tried to break up
and ruin two western baso ball organlrn
tlons for their own gain. I do not believe
thoy can win,

I would' certainly bo tricked from tho start
I did the- right thing. All tho tlmo that
Hlckey and Tebeau were playing mo for a

In reality allaying them.
"Yes, I havo sovon good men signed for
next season, nnd In thirty days will have
fifteen. I shall glvo out no Information as

self-protection. At this ntago of tho game
the situation Is such that no man can tell
what players ho will havo till thoy actually

after them, and If I should say who I have

ST. JOSKl'M, Mo., Dec. C (Special Tele
gram.) I'at I'owcrsr president of tho Na
tional Iiaso nail association, today wired
James Whitfield, the new president of tho
Western league, a message of congratula
tion for keeping the league together. Pres
ident Powers said the National association
would be behind the league In everything
It did. President Whitfield this afternoon
executed a bond for $10,000.
Kx-Prcsldont Mickey entertains bitter
sentiments toward tho members of tho
Western league.
W. T. Van Ilrunt tonight said: "Mr.
Mickey will get all the fight he wants.
Mo will have trouble east as well as west.
Wo have the money to spend on any kind
of gymnastics Mr. Mickey may start."
Mr. Mickey said: "It Is a mistake to
Imaglno that we will havo any trouble over
Columbus and Toledo. The Western asso
ciation relinquished alt claim to Columbu9.
As for Toledo, tho promoters of baso ball
In that city absolutely refused to continue
longer In tho Western association. Kvery
ono of our clubs wilt bo solidly backed.
At Omaha threo parties, each with more
than sulTlclcnt money to conduct the baso
ball business successfully, havo applied for
franchises. Mr. Lennon will be with us
In St. Paul and I am, equally sure that
Dealt will stand firm In Minneapolis. Mo
has doposltcd J600 with me as a guarantee,
as havo tho seven other men who ncceptcd
franchises when our leaguo was Organized.
All this money, except tho JCOO deposited
by Hourko of Omaha, which has beon re
turned to him, Is locked Up In a local bank
to my credit. We havo Ono backing.
Thcro oro only two clubs In tho Western
lenguo which have as good backing as our
clubs, and they nro Colorado Springs nnd
St. Joseph.
"This talk of conspiracy nnd perfidy on
my part Is all mado with n purpose and
with tho Idea of Injuring me. My enemies
will bo whipped to a custard before tho
season Is advanced."
lliixliirxn Policy of Wrutrril.
Askod for an expression of the policy
which ho will pursue In the administration
of Western leaguo affairs, Mr. Whitfield
replied:
"First of all, It will bo a business man's
administration. There will bo no policies,
which nro tho bane of base ball. No fa
voritism will bo shown. Wo start out with
bright prospects. The Western leaguo was
organized a year ago for a period of flvo
years, and there Is 'every Indication that
It will continue us It Is for that length of
tlmo. Tho public understands our position
nnd will support us In It. All of our clubs
aro solidly backed and ably managed. At
Kansas City wo aro fortunato In having
with us such able baso ball men as Man
ning and Nichols. Nichols will bo a great
attraction wherever ho goes. If Mr. Pack
ard does not care to contlnuo the team In
Denver wo will have no difficulty In finding
men who will bo glad to tako up the fran
chise nnd conduct n first-class team."
President Whitfield says ho received ap
plications from soveral cities today which
aro desirous of franchises In the Western
league, If any are to bo disposed of.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. . Dalo Qear. part
owner with Oeorge Tebenu In tho Kansas
City club of tho recently organised Amorl
can Dnso Doll association, speaking of tho
reported disruption in the Western leaguo
nt its meeting yesterday In St. Joseph, and
that Tebeau Is said to have lost his fran
chises In both Kansas City nnd Denver In
that league, today said:
"I havo not seen or heard from Mr. Te
beau slnco the meeting and know nothing
of tho proceedings nt St. Joseph except what
I read In tho papers this morning, but I can
say that tho American association will stick
and that there will be a team In that
lenguo In Kansas City. If tho Westom
leaguo docs como Into Kansas City there
will bo two teams here next senson, and It
will simply bo n question of tho survival
of tho fittest.
"Kansas Qlty demands faster ball than
tho minor lenguo provides. "If the Western
leaguo does not havo belter towns than
thoso contained In Its circuit last season I
don't see how It can expect to cope with
tho new Amorlcan association,"

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 5. President Wnt
klns of tho Indianapolis club said today
that the action of the Western league mag
nates would not Intorfero with tho plans of

In Omnha would be glad to obtain the 'fran
chise and they would have received It nt
tho meeting last week had not Prostdont
Mickey promlstd Ilourko that he would be
taken can. of In tho new association.
"Ilourko accepted the franehlso," he
ndded, "and put up his forfeit, and It ho
has resigned that Is his own private affair.
Wo control the base boll properties In Min
neapolis and St. Paul. Tho outlook appears
brighter every day and tho opposition In tho

drawn up by City Attorney Connell nnd In
troduced by F. A. Kennedy:

yesterday morning Itajlell was realty chief,
acting, but not active. Mo did not present
himself nt tho ofllco In city hall for duty,
however. Mo had been notified to appear at

City Attorney Connell does not think
(hat Uedell can win on n fight to recover
pay for several months, which he will un
doubtedly nttcmpt to do. Mr. Connell says
that Redctl has neglected to perform the
preliminary technicalities necessary to
make such a claim good. For Instance, he
has never In that time reported himself to
tho Hoard of Fire and Police Commissioners
as ready for duty, nor has ho appeared in
person with nn offer to take up the reins of
management.
