Of course this was gasonade of the purest kind.

After this exploit Mr. Bedford again chinged his offer, andnow it reads: “Keamns and Canvan, you 1well; c't do it again, S0 thenextman at Dave Has to Say. When asked concerning the rumor that Denver, Linoln and Sioux City woull be dropped from the Western wsociation next seasn, Dive Rowesaid: “fu the first place there isno desire in the asswciatin to dwp Lincol, Dewver and Sioux City fron the menbersiip. wne what- ever, andin the seond placeil there wasany such feeling itcoull notbe dme.

It is nonsense totalkof Detroit, Tolelo and In- diampolis getting o plice. The first rason is that Detmit wil not support s team It has had two of the besteverorganized, and it never sypported them. Indimapolis has had toomuchof the Nutional leggue to fall back. Notthat the Western sssociition would uot give them gool ball, but they don't want the Western flavor. “In _my opinion Kansis City anl Milvau- keewilliot g east, becuse therewillbe no placo forthen. 1 look for aprosprous sea. son next yer inthe west.
