that tho Western leaguo should be placofl

reason for tho nufgestlons, which wijl
bo Introduced at the meeting of the

posit with the president of tho lenguu a

any fear of one or the clubs quitting be

"We also reminded the club owners of
the suggestions made at the last West
em leaguo meeting at Chicago that a
club house should be erected for the vis
iting clubs and that each club should
have Its own ticket-takers, because this
league Is a first-class loague and should
be run on a systematic basis.
"Holland and Isbell and myself are of
the opinion that the Western league will
have a banner season this year nnd un
less something goes amiss the class of
base ball which will be turned out In
Western league parks will be Just as fast

Holland and Isbell assert that their clubs
