that In spite OF President Roosevelt's
declaration that he would not suffer
himself TO be a candidate for president
In 1908, he is probably the man who
will contend against Mr.. Bryan In the
next campaign.

not bank on Mr.. Roosevelt's pledge, for
such pledges are by no means irrevo-
cable Mr.. Roosevelt" remarks the
Times. doubtless does not Intend 10

any rate I'm recent years, that the
nominee OF a party convention has re
jected the nomination.
The Westminster Gazette says: III
the Republican party had no other
candidate than Mr.. Roosevelt who was
likely TO succeed. and the nomination
were offered TO him unanimously, he
must accept II with an appearance OF
being overborne."

GOSSIP OF THE
BALL DIAMOND

San Francisco and Los Angeles
baseball magnates are carrying
things with mighty hand in the
dealings with Seattle and Portland.
j. p. Agnew Of Seattle row has IA
kilograms at large through Califor-
MIA and none of them have been
answered. 1t seems the southern
managers have plans all their own
about continuing the Pacific Coast
league and have not taken into con-
sidera ton the desires OF Portland
or Seattle. AS an instance of this
and from the fact that Agnew has
been unable to obtain any word
from the south, telegram has mott
fled the Portland people that Oak
land will open in Portland May /,
and that Seattle and San Francisco
teams will be sent nortl to play in
Seattle. Now here Is the PROPOSE
ton: The Seattle team had no in
structions to go to Los Angeles or
to leave Oakland. During all the
time 1t has been in the south Ag-
new has been unable to get into
direct communication with it. Then
word comes that the southern mag
mates have "sent his team back" &C
companied with some enc to play
ball with. Baseball is oil right so
long as there is money In it for the
magnates, but it becomes only the
delight OF the fans when a sched-
ule Is being run at a loss. Seattle
and Portland will make money
while their teams play on the home
grounds. Fresno Is a dead one. and
always was. Jumping from the
north to Oakland and Los Angeles
will play havoc with the northern
bank roll. Bot Seattle and Port
land want to be in the Northwest
ern league and President Lucas and
the club owners want them. but it
seems the southern magnates have
those of the north "buffaloed."

save time. Probably these liberties
taken with the regulations of safe
ty are rarely disastrous. and for
this reason it is though. that some
of the men who handle powder
come to have certain contempt for
the restrictions. OF course, this is
all theory, so far as it attaches to
the accident on the Kearsage. 1t
is all a matter of guesswork and,
unfortunately. there may never be
anything more definite known on
which to base an option.

is essentially American play, and
Byron Douglas is an essentially
American player, an actor cast in
role to which he is especially
adapted. The story of the play is
the history of a typical young
American who is suddenly cast
from the heights of affluence to the
depths of poverty, and his deter
! mination not to be overcome.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April 90
The explosion on the kearsarge
may resolve itself into another Of
those mysteries which SO frequent
II battle the expert who is required
to give an explanation of an acct
dent and furnish measures to pre-.
vent its recurrence. Nothing of a
specific character has been furnish
ed by the naval authorize in South
ern waters, but private advices ildi-
cate that the fatality may have be II
due to personal careles sness. 1t
seems, at least, that all the pre-
scribed precautions were observed
on board the ship, and 1t Is for this
reason considered unnecessary to
amend the existing regulations or
add to the requirements, already
voluminous and eXacting. One eX-
PLANTATION given by the ordnance Of
ficers who know something of the
situation on board the Kearsarge is
that the powder was ignited when
it was removed from the gun. and
that the minute spark was famed
into a blaze with fatal effect, as
soon as it was taken from the
breech Of the gun. There are all
sorts of rules which would guard
against this condition. and, of
course, in handling powder. the
new regulations are specific. and
have been, in fact, criticized by
some officers as needlessly exact
ing. 1t is realized that men become
careless in handling ammunition,

Jack Kerns, the well known light
weight, has received a letter from
e A. McAuley, the Benton Harbor,
Mich, fight promoter, in which
Kerns is offered the May date,
which will be about the 25th. This
is good news to Kern's many
friends here. He has been here for
some time and his Introduction to
local fight fans was his defeat at
the hands of Kid Parker, when he
was handicapped by a broken liga-
ment in his back. Kerns has had
some memorable battles, notably
his IA round journey with Tommy
Tracey of Portland, Ore, when he
lost the battle on peculiar decisio"
which went against the man
knocked down first. This was Kerns'
Although by no means knocked out,
being much. the lighter man, he was
the first one to be floored. This
sort of decision was rendered be-
cause the authorities objected to a
knockout. Kerns has fast, breezy
style about him which at once gains
him the sympathies of those at the
ringside. He Is willing miller
and good fighter.
