Columbus Willer IP Prospects In Association Drop
Curiaco Oct 23 Friday's meeting of American association directors strengthened the belief that the Columbus club will be dropped from the circuit. It is said the team lost 40 000 last season and sentiment favors removal. If dropped, the next season could feature Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore in the east and Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Kansas City or Minneapolis in the west. Rumors say a league club may seek admittance, possibly Pittsburg or Brooklyn, which could cause Kansas City to be dropped.
