BASEBALL SITUATION
STILL UNDETERMINED
Charles Jacobsen Says Club
Will Not Be Sold.
w. J. LAMBERT SAYS 1T WILL
Wide Diversity of Opinion Exists
Among the Officers and Directors
Of the Senators.

The old adage, the best laid plans of
mice and men," etc. can well be applied
TO the present baseball situation in
Washington. Charles Jacobsen. vice
president of the Washington Club. is au-
thority for the statement that the club
will not be sold this season
W. j. Lambert. the clubs attorney.
says he has every reason to believe the
sale will so through. Concerning the deal
which has been on the tapis for some
time past. Mr.. Jacobsen said: The deal
is off and there viii positively be no
sale. True the parties DESTROYS Of con-
trolling the clubs stock have been
ready with the money and until a day
or two ago there was every likelihood
OF its contamination. but the present
situation is that the stockholders are
united to unit and they will stick to-
gether- Had Postal and Lotus decided
TO part with their holdings large block
OF the stock held by the most influential
men in the club would have gone with
theirs and the personnel OF the direc-
torate would have been entirely
changed"
Difference of Opinion.
Mr. Jacobsen. there seems 10 be a some
what wide diversity of opinion among
the stockholders. One of the clubs
directors. who has ever requested his
name to be omitted in any statement
CLEANED from him. said last night that
he had every reason 20 be sure that
the deal would 20 through and despite
the fact that Postal had instructed the
players 20 report for practice on Satur-
day OF this week. he still thought the
sale would be eonsummated before the
end Of the week. Furthermore, he as
serted that the party most DESTROYS
OF gaining an interest in the clubs af-
fairs is hotel man of large means and
powerful influence. and he thought il
would be to the interest of the club
to have such man identified with it.
Lambert's Side of 1t.
Another exemplifcation OF the fore
going is the attitude Of w. ]. Lambert.
the clubs, attorney. Mr.. Lambert said
his morning that no man in Washington

rot be sold and that there is ever
,eason 10 believe that the sale will g

Postal will be here in a day or two
but he hardly thinks Tom LOTUS viii

Eugene Cochran is also Of the opinion

asserting in the most positive terms
that IL will not.

Branch Line to be Built to Tap
Cumberland Coal Fields,
NO MORE TUNNEL BLOCKADE
II Aspen Hore is Blocked. Trains Can
Run over Branch with but
One Hours Delay.

II the present plans Of President Burt
OF the Union Pacific are carried out all
the landslides possible IN the vicinity
of Aspen tunnel viii not delay the
overland limited and Other passenger
trains more than an houl.
There Is under consideration scheme
to build branch line running from
Hampton station on the main line,
through the coal camp OF Cumberland
and back 10 the main line at Altamont.
The main idea OF this new branch is, OF
course, TO give the Union Pacific direct
connection with Its coal mines at Cum
berland instead Of hauling 1t out via a
point near Kemnierer and thence back
20 Granger over the Oregon Short Line
This line Is TO be built this summer and
will be a great improvement az It will
cut down the haulsge on coal consider
ably.
When this line Is finished should
blockade occur In Aspen tunnel the
trains could be sent round this branch
line with very little loss of time. As
things now are and were forcibly dem
onstrated during the recent blockade
trains had 10 be sent over the Oregon
Short Line Win Granger. McCammon,
Ida, and Brigham City on the oregon
Short Line, occasioning n delay OF any
where from 7 TO u hours, demorallsing
the mail service and unduly advertising
