APPROVED BY PRESIDENT.
Plans Made for Opening Ellipse to Base
Ball Players.

Amateur base ball players and their
friends will be highly gratified to know
that the President has approved plans Tor
the opening of the elipse south of the White
House for their benefit during the coming
summer The idea was suggested by Col.
Symons, the engineer officer in charge OF
public buildings and grounds, and received
the hearty Endorsement of the President,
who is said to appreciate the scarcity OF
available Fairgrounds for field sports and
to desire to render all possible assistance
in the matter. The ellipse, which is also
known as the Presidents Park and the
White Lot, before Its improvement many
wears ago. was generally used by the citi-
zens Of Washington as a base ball park and
many historical games have been played
there in the early days of base ball. wheh
George Wright was tower or strength on
the local base ball nine.
Gen Mackenzie, chief of engineers, ana
col Symons are now considering plans TOT
the transformation of the ellipse into a
public base ball park. Although their plans
are not fully matured, it is practically set
tied that three diamonds will be laid OUT
to the best advantage, and that they Will
be placed at the disposal of all reputable
base ball organizations in the city under
such rules and regulations as will insure
the protection of the park and the pres
ervation of good order during the games
Permits to use the diamond will be Issued
by Colonel Symons in such way as TO
enable the different organizations TO use the
grounds without favoritism or discrimlna-
ton.

INSTRUCTED DELEGATES.
The President Has Now 343 to los
Uniustructed


Yesterdays action Of the New York state
republican convention in directing the del
egates-at-large from New York to work
for the denomination OF President Roose-
welt brings the total number of delegates
instructed for Roosevelt up to 343. The
uninstructed delegates number 103.
Although the convention yesterday ID
rected" the delegates to vote for Roosevelt
instead Of instructing them. the action IL
conceded by all to be equivalent to instruc-
ton. Even some Of the Presidents enc
mics in the convention conceded that the
action was entirely favorable to the Prest-
dent and should have no other construc-
ton. 1t is noted that of the district dele
gates thus far chosen in New York state
twenty-fOur have been instructed for
Roosevelt and twenty-four elected without
instructions. While the unit rule does not
prevail among republicans. it Is assumed
that the action Of the state convention yes
terday will be accepted by the uninstruct-
ed delegates as binding upon them, and
that they will go with the majority for
Roosevelt
OF the los uninstructed delegates elected
throughout the country 1t is claimed more
than a majority will vote for Roosevelt.
For example, in Pennsylvania only fifteen
delegates have been instructed for Roose-
Welt, and forty-nine are without instruc-
ton. It is a fact, however. that Pennsyl-
vania Is one of the strongest of the Roose-
cago, especially If there should be any
signs of faltering or hanging back on the
part Of New Yor.-.

delegates elected by the districts through
out the country thus far is as follows:
