projected course to such an angle point,
that returned to the place Of beginning,
the area enclosed will be twenty acres"
In order to obviate any undesirable ten
ants or nuisances locating along the river
front below the twenty acres segregated for
the reservation, Mr.. Usinger moved that it
be the unanimous sense of the members

desired the remaining eighty acres subdi-
yided into four plots and not into town
lots, which was adopted without dissent
ing vote.
The last meeting of the old Board will
be held on May 4th, and the annual meet
ing will be held on the 10th.

Solicitor Watkins was present and said
be felt be was in a peculiar position. III
reading the local paper of that date he
ascertained that week previous the Board
had adopted a resolution requesting City
Council to repeal the ordinance providing
for the purchase Of the Manley lot for
school purposes, yet he had received no
notification Of the action, and was in the
position of the lawyer whose client had
settled the suit aud left his counsel to con-
tinue the prosecution. Il would be ex-
tremely embarrassing to be told in the

Kansas City, Dec. 27.-Some speculation among
local baseball fans has been caused BY the re-
port that Arthur Irwin would not be connected
with Kansas City baseball affairs in 1905. The
latest announcement is to the effect that the
genial Arthur will manage the Wilmington Del.
club next season, but if any reliance is to be
placed on "inside information" Irwin will be
the leader Of the st. Louis cardinals instead. -
DR.. d. NJ. shively, president of the Western
association, met Irwin while in New York at
tending the meeting of the National association
there on Dec. IA, and he says Irwin made the
remark to him. ''Tn not be with you next sea-
son." f. )<'

about his plans or Intentions, but freely admitted
that he was out@of Kansas City baseball Affairs

Pacific. ~. =, 9~--
I Way out in Hawaii there is a progressive
yacht club. and the recent across the
Atlantic for the German emperor's cup proved
too much for; the sporting proclivities Of the
Hawaiian yachtsmen to withstand. r.
| Accordingly a contest has been arranged which
scalls for the starting at San Francisco and the
lending OF the race at Honolulu. -"
& T. W. Hebron, commodore Of the Hawaiian
Hclub, recently came to San Francisco to interest
liz achtsmen here, and he found them in re-
deceptive mood. It was at first suggested that
1.-THE race should be from Honolulu to some Jap
anese port. but there were objections to this
course, and It was finally decided to start the
race from San Francisco.
\ The distance Of the race is 1000 miles as the
4 bird flies. The time set for the contest is
next June. It is certain that there will be six
Fstarters. and it is expected that other yachts
5men will arrange things that they can COM
pete. The trophy which has been offered for the
inning Of the first prize is worth $50. Suitable
prizes will be given to the winners Of the Sec
3pnd and third places. '. - b.

STARS WANT TO
COACH ST. |. U.
Rothgeb, Catlin and Cochems, ALI
Noted Players, Apply
for Job.

St. Louis, Dec. 27.-If st. Louis university
really wants to secure a frst-class Rugby coach
for next season, the faculty OF the Grand ave-
nue. institution certainly has select bunch Of
football men to choose from. Ed Rothgeb, a
former Illinois university star; COchems, noted
badger player and Marc Catlin, end and cap
tain on this years Chicago university team,
which defeated Michigan, are all out after the
position of football instructor at st. Louis
university next year. Both Catlin and Cochems
have been heard from at the varsity A. A. head
quarters.
Rothgeb fled his application for the place
only few days ago. He is In Illinois at pres
ent and wrote Dan Dillon, former st. Louis
university boy, who captained the ST. Louis ~
team three years ago. but who played quarter
on Washington last year. that he would like to
secure the position Of coach at st. Louis uni
yersity next year. Dillon later received for
NAL application for the position from Rothgeb,
which he has placed in Father P. Burke's
hands.
Tommy Dowd, the present athletic director
at st. Louis university, will hardly be retained
at st. Louis university next year. Dowd, altho
he is good football player himself, Is q
better track coach than football instructor.
The st. Louis university alumni and players
| want man with reputation to coach the
football team next season. With Catlin, Coch
ems and Rothgeb to be had by paying the figure
demanded, st. Louis university can secure either

TEBEAU KEEPS
UNDER COVER
Holds the Cards and Should Ha
Flop o'Brien Would Be
Defeated. 4

At the annual meeting of the American asso.
citation in Chicago tomorrow there may and
there may not be interesting doings. It all
depends on the attitude of George Tebeau, who
owns both the Louisville and Kansas City clubs
of this strong organization, and consequently
has two votes on questions which come up before
the magnates for decision. Upon the Tebeau
attitude rests the chances of Joe O'Brien OF
Milwaukee for reelection as president.
The American association Is composed OF tive
factions. Standing together on most questions
may be found 7. J. Bryce Of Columbus, J. Ed
Grille Of Toledo and w. II. Watkins, who at
present controls both the indianapolis and Min
neapolis clubs. Also standing together, but Oh
the opposite side of the fence from this quartet,
are Havenor, owner Of the Milwaukee team, and
George Lennon Of the st.. Paul club. For the
the latter pair, giving that faction four votes.
1t is rumored, however, that Tebeau may go over
to the other side this year, in which case
O'Brien will scarcely be reelected.
Mr.. OBrien was elected last year over J. Ed
Grillo, who had made excellent executive
officer In 1904. Messrs. Bryce and Watkins
stood for Grille. but at that time Lennon con-
| trolled the Toledo franchise, and 0'Brien was
chosen by five votes to three, being the selec-
ton of Hayenor, Lennon and Tebeau. Mr..
O'Brien has been a satisfactory official in most
respects, but there is growing feeling among
the members Of the association that the presi-
dent should be entirely independent of any fac
ton and any outside influence. Some Of tho
magnates firm in the belief that Mr.. o Brien
whose home Is in Milwaukee, leans toward Own
Iers Havenor and Lennon too strongly. 1t il
also counted against him that he Is the choice
| of President Ban johnson of the American
league, whose interference in association affairs
| is resented. 1t was common talk during the
| recent meeting Of the National association in
New York that Johnson promised seat in the
| national board to W. 81. Watkins II the latter
| would cast mis- vote for O'Brten at the annual
American association meeting. Mr.. Watkins is
| reported to have declined to sell his vote for
an honorary position. At any rate, he has been
consistently knocked ever since by Magnate
/ Havenor, who is Ban Johnson's closest friend in
! the association. This has caused the breach
among the association magnates to widen still
| further.
| with Messrs. Bryce, Watkins and Grillo at the
coming meeting. If he does. it is certain that
Mr.. O'Brien will not be reelected, tho there Is
! no open candidate against him. II the Louisville
magnate nocks with his old friends, Lennon and
| Havenor O'Brien will be reelected without
doubt, as he will have four votes. and the dead.
lock will not be forced by the opposition.

the academy has this year. 1t Is confidently
