HAD GONE TOO FAR
Baseball War on Pacific Coast
Past All Hope of
Remedy.
SEXTON SO STATES
New Schedules Arranged for West.
ern League and American
Association.

President NJ. ii. Sexton, who reach
ed the city yesterday afternoon after
his trip to the Pacific coast with
President Hickey, of the American
association, in the interests of peace.
reiterates the statements that have
already been made concerning the ma
ture of the conditions that were
found.
He states that with rival teams in
San Francisco and Los Angeles the
Pacific Northwest league hopes to be
able, with the backing of the Nation
al Association of Minor Leagues, to
make such a warm fight this season
that next year the Pacific Coast
league, formerly the California State
league, which is the outlaw organiza-
ton, will be glad to come to- terms or
go out Of business. The rush for
players is now on and the National
association is doing what it can to
make it easy for the Pacific North
west managers to get what they are
looking for.
Schedules Revised.
While away President Sexton and
President Hickey found time to fix up
schedules for the Western league and
the American association so that the
conflicts in the cities of Kansas City
and Milwaukee will be eliminated.
The new schedules will be adopted by
both organizations without doubt and
without the necessity for meeting
of the directors. They are, of course,
entirely different from the ones that
were arranged and adopted by the di-
rectors of the two leagues some
weeks ago.

A LaughabIe Race.

Today about the noon hour the
blood ling yells of "catch him -
catch him - were heard above the
business din in the direction of the
vacant lot beyond Hawkins & Com
pany's store, which attract ID every
one who was anywhere in the neigh
borhood at the time and soon, there
was seen to emerge bareheaded me-
gro boy running at break neck speed,
making diagonally across the street
for the alley in the rear of the First
National Bank, with about dozen or
two street urchins after him, all hol
lowing "catch him - "catch him! -
and the chase WAS continued, aug
mented all along by new recruits, un-
til up near T. NJ Ferguson's residence
the boy was caught.
1t afterward developed that all
this excitement was created by the
boy having snatched bottle of Bitter
Apple Bitters from another negro who
had just come out of the drug store,
and made off with it.
A rather significant thing connected
with the chase was the boy never
lo'ened his grip on the bottle, carry
ing it through the entire race intact.

the Republican party has always been and will
always be controlled by the sentiment OF the

been expressed and will be needed by the con-
vention, and the work Of that convention will be
approved at the polls in November.
