noon. and the magnates will put
In their next few days
up the losses on the season. It has been
he most unfortunate In the league's ex
perience of sixteen years-. Not even dur
ing the days of the "war" with tho
American Association did the red ink
balance show on the books as it does
now. In those days the town where the
double-header clubs were located lost
money, but the others made money and
took up the slack, but In this year of
Brace. 1915 no such condition has been
possible. It has been a loser all around,
and not a team of the eight haa escaped.
The cause for th's Is not hard to lo
cate; no such weather conditions ever
were faced as prevailed since the open
ing of the season. Omaha, always a good
Runday town, hasn't had a pleasant (base
kail Bundiy during the summer. Every
time the Moo at Rourke park have been
lopen on the first days of the week, rain
has fallen some time during the day, and
the skies have threatened continually,
keeping folks away from the game. What
Is true here is true all around the cir
cuit Even ftt Denver, where they th'nk
hev're In the dry belt, and brag about It
- ... ' - ...HI lrlaa
rain has Interfered with more games tha-
.. .. ntt in a vallev town,
rh.t'i n there Is to' It. Good ball has
"been played, when it was possible to play,
and the few fans who have braved the
weather have been well .repaid. But this
doesn't h'o the owner out. and he can
eply look forward to next season in hope
that he will get back some of the good
money he has paid out this year to keep
the league alive.
The future of base ball Is no more cer
tain than is the future of any other bus
jiess. but one thine may set down as
tielng reasonably well determined upon.
That is that clubs will be run much
rheaper next year than they have , for
many a season past. From the Wwert
of the big leacue towns down, the owner,
have felt the .pinch, and they are of one
m'rd a. to the nece-Uv of retrenchment.
rst pl-e of all. this will hit the par ,
roll. Nowhere do you hear any manager
Wfn the many tho...n.l. he s

Russell Ford and Charles Albert

Western Moguls' to Meet in .
Omaha; Big Doings Expected
That club ownem of the Western "
leagim are planning to hold a meeting
In Omaha the latter part of this week
la a bit of Inside information that
trickled into tho city yesterday. It will
not be a formal Western league meeting,
with Tip O'Neill occupying the chair at
the nead of the table with a gavel In
hla noble mitt. It will be but an In
formal meeting and Prexle Tip will not
be the one to call the meeting.
According to reports, six owner, of
Western league franchise, will attend
the meeting here, six will make
quorum, so the Pther two magnate, may
do a. they plea. take part In the pow
wow or .tay away.
What the mogul, intend to do In meet
ing here Is not being made public It Is
aid that nothing revolutionary will be
attempted, but that the magnate, merely
have gone through a disastrous season,
and it I. their belief that an advance
meeUng may be of value in planning for
1916.
Uut there i. a suspicion, Inasmuch a.
the meeting wu not called In the ordi
nary way, that something else I. going
to happen. The usual procedure of meet

would be In Omaha and that wa. all

will also be here. Also probably one

In base ball the strain I largely a men

advanced stage that great thing, are ex.

keep on delivering, with the big leaguer
