Races as Features.

Members of the Missouri Athletic Club
who are interested in swimming and
aquatic sports met in the tankroom of the

were made for the programmes to be con-
Quoted throughout the winter.
1t was agreed that October II would be
the best date for pulling of the first Sc
ries of races, and that open events should
characterize the card. To get swimmers
throughout the city interested in sthe
meetings Instructor Meffert suggested
that the first card should be open to all.
An eighty-yard swimming race. a race
of twice the length of the tank. and tub
race were talked of as opening events
Also a championship match of 100 yards,
which will count in the championship Sc
ries of the institution.
Plans for a water polo team were also
discussed, and 1t was decided that any
member desirous of joining this Organize
ton should give his name to Meffert, who
viii be at the tankroorn constantly
Meetings will likely be held every
at least. This win give an opportunity
for those members to attend who were
unable to appear at the opening meeting
Dwight Evans, Al NasBe and several
others appeared for swimming practice
last evening and worked out for a short
time before the meeting. Both will likely
play on the clubs water polo team, as
will w. r. and Armin Orthwein.

ering a case of water. The horse was

New York Walking Delegate De-
clares President Buchanan
Will Be DepOsed.
INSIDE SH0PMEN ADMITTED.
This Will Double the Membership
of International Association
and Greatly Increase
It's Power.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 2-Sam Parks
and his followers are now practically In
control of the convention of the Inter-
national Association of Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers.
Parks and his friends are reticent about
saying what they will do with their power.
but 1t Is claimed by the Parks element that
r. f. Neidig. president OF the union of
which they are members in New York. and
Frank Buchanan, president Of the Inter
national Association, have been repudiated
and Will be deposed
Parks says that Neidig was deposel be-
fore he left New York for the convention.
but that upon the return to New York of
their delegation decisive action will be
taken in regard TO Niedig.
The convention to-day and tonight de-
voted its time to consideration of the prop
osition to admit the shopmen to the asso-
citation. and routine matters.
The delegates. after much discussion,
voted to allow the inside shopmen to Join
the association.
This is something new In trades union
ism. and indicates that there will be conn.,
plete affiliation by inside and outside men.
This action viii more than double the
membership of the interna tional associa-
tion.
II is generally believed by the delegates
that President Buchanan will be defeated
f he allows his name to go before the
convention for reelection.
There is much routine work before the
convention. and the election will not take
place for several days.

Baseball Notes.

Strange It may seem. nearly every mem-
ber of the Cardinals Is confident that the local
National League will defeat the st. Louis
American team in the interclu6 SERIES which
begins October :.
IN speaking OF the matter one Of the Cardinal
players said yesterday:
We will try to redeem ourselves before the
st. Louis public In this series and II the
Browns beat us I will be q surprised man.
Every man on our team is going into this
series with the avowed intention OF doing his
best, they know a victory over the Browns
" I'll mean their restoration in the hearts of the
fans. our pitching stan. OF course. does not
come uD to the standard Of the American
League pitching corps. but II is a cinch that
our batters will even up this score
Whether the Cardinal quoted is a prophet or
not remains to be seen. but there is some
logic in his conclusions. The Cardinals will
go Into this series with more life and vim in
them than the Browns. Several of the Browns
players have a pretty definite idea that they
will not be here next season and will not ex-
ert themselves. Every Cardinal player. on the
other hand. is sure that IL he can make good in
this series. he will get thorough trial next
spring On paper the Browns look to have
cinCh. and II the Cardinal above quoted turns
out to be prophet there will be many
prised people in st. Louis.
