| ton, and the wisdom Of his way has
always been apparent to his fellow
magnates.
His tact has stood the American
league in good stead in many a dark
hour when the National league threat
ened its very existence by all sorts
of trickery and subterfuge. He was
the life Of the movement to invade
the strongholds Of the National league
in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and
st. Louis. He was the hardest fight
er for further expansion when 10
was planned to take in New York and
Pittsburg, and he was the man whose
craftsmanship led to a complete VIC
| tory for the American league in
the recent peace conference in Cincin-
natl.
Somers was never much of a ball
player himself, but he was always a
lover of the game. 1t is told of him
that when O youngster he played
lone -old-cat" with a yarn ball and
a barrel stave for bat. but he doesn't
confirm or deny the report.
He broke into" baseball as a
| magnate three years ago, when Ban
| Johnson came to Cleveland to get
| someone to take the Grand Rapids
franchise off his hands. Somers and
President Kilfoyl, of the present
Cleveland club, decided to buy it and
put team in the Forest City, which
the year before had been abandoned
| by the National league.
| Somers was elected vice president
of the league, at the next annual
meeting. The following year he
bought a controlling interest in the
Boston Americans and was president
of that club for a year. He also
owned some stock in the Athletics of
Philadelphia. Later, however, he dis
posed of his outside interests and de-
voted his time to building up a good
team in his home town.
His greatest stroke for Cleveland
was when Lajoie, the king of all play
ers, and Bernhard, the king of Ameri-
can league pitchers, were secured af-
ter they had been enjoined from play
ing with any club save the Phillies
of the National league.
Somers secured these stars by per-
sonal contracts for a term of -four
years, fought for their possession

and Ohio, won out and when the sea.

OPENS PARLIAMENT
WITH GREAT P0MP
King Edwards Pageant Makes Spectacle Which
Appears to Reward the Crowds Gathered
to Witness It,

LONDON. Feb. fixing Edward
opened parliament this afternoon
with a ceremonial in all essential re
spects similar to that Of the two
preceding sessions of his reign.
The procession TO the house of
lords was one of the same character
as that witnessed on the occasion of
the opening of the session of last
year, and within was seen the same
state pageantry, historic dresses and
revival of ancient forms.
His majesty appeared entirely re-
covered from his recent illness With
the two central figures, the king and
queen, so easily seen ana so gor-
geously clad, with the brilliant escort
of Life guards, whose bands kept
constantly playing, the crowds seem
ed to feel rewarded for their long
wait by a spectacle Of considerable
interest.

Charles Somers, vice-President Amer

the Ground Up.

CLEVELAND o.. Feb. 17.-One of
the things that has impressed the
BASEBALL loving public as much as any
thing else in the past two or three
seasons has been the beautiful equi-
poise and well-balanced equilibrium
which has existed within the inner
circles of the American league from
the day 1t was born to the present
hour. Strikingly dissimilar to the
old National league, it has had its
fractional fights, its cliques, its dissen-
sions, its rebellious magnates and
the dove of harmony has never roost-
ed for any length of time above its
headquarters, and every time a Ma
tional league meeting has been called,
for half a decade. there has been
