Selee has been figuring for some time on
securing the franchise for Omaha, and also
spent some time in Chicago in consultation
with Johnson and other Western leaguers.
When he left for the East the matter was
practically settled, although, no applfca-
ton had been submitted at the recent West
ern league meeting. a mail vote would still
have been necessary. Selee had interested
prominent National league man to share the
investment with him for q time and had
assurances from his Boston employers that
he would be free TO leave them to better
himself.
But when the time came to break from Bos-
ton Selee found opposition. Soden declared that
the notification from his manager came too
late, and that he would not have the oppor-
tunity to secure a capable man to take Sc
franchise and install in charge Sid Farrar,
the old-t'me first baseman of the Philadelphia
club, now in business at Melrose, Mass. But
there opposition to this. FaTrar was
good player but has never had experience as
a manager. So, as Soden remained obdurate.
Selee yesterday wired finally that the deal
was off
This leaves the Western league still wrest-
ling with the franchise question. Several
other more or less favorable propositions
under consideration, but the Selee plan was
what was desired. Arson has been COM

was a fve-cent coin around which a mar

insisted on seeing everything, we were up
ward of three hours in making the rounds.
I took them aboard an auxiliary cruiser,
explained the workings of the guns, show
ed them a Whitehead torpedo, and, In
brief, left nothing of interest unseen.
When the tour was finally completed 1
suggested that they take a cup of tea
at the officers mess, supposing, of course,
that they understood my rank from sa-
lutes and salutations as we made the
rounds, but they looked shocked and en-
