| Text | It is expected a special meeting of the Western Association managers will be held immediately after the holidays to invite the St. Louis and Louisville clubs to join the Western Association. The St. Paul and Minneapolis managers are enthusiastically in favor of the project. President Thompson of St. Paul said this afternoon that such a move had been expected for some time and intimated that letters had already been passing. Mr. Thompson said he was certain that no attempt would be made to reorganize the American Association, and that if St. Louis played ball at all in 1890 it would be with the Western Association. MR. Von der Ahe's remarks in New York yesterday were a hint of what he intended to do. If Louisville asks to come in, the Kentucky club will be admitted without question. Mr. Thompson was in doubt as to what would be done about the number of clubs. The organization is now composed of eight clubs and the admission of two more would make a 10 club league. He was not in favor of dropping Sioux City and Des Moines because both had raised enough money to guarantee them through the season and all the others can support themselves. The votes of both St. Paul and Minneapolis will be cast in favor of a 10-club league. St. |
