LEAGUE LEADER
INVESTIGATION OF TREASURY
CONDITIONS MADE
Outlook for 5aeball eriohter Than
Ever-UnifOrm Ladies' Day
viii Be Observed in
All Cities

Eugene #. Bert was reelected nros-
ident of the Pacific Coast Rasebaii
league at a session which occ,,niai
practically all of yesterday morning
and afternoon. When the 1abors fnS
| the day had been completed the dirao
tors voiced a unanimous opinion that
the future of baseball in California
was exceedingly bright.
Many important questions were dis
cussed and acted upon. A thorough
| investigation of treasury conditions
was made, which resulted satisfactor-
| lily to the directors.
Following resolutions were intro
duced relative to the situation:
The said Ewing advanced gratui-
tously large sums of money through
out the period of misfortune to keen
the league atloat and especially the city
that was represented by a disloyal
director, whose lack of true sports
nanship caused the league unnecessary
annoyance;
Now, therefore, we recommend that
the league commend Treasurer Ewing.
not only for the accuracy of his ac-
counts, but also for his un1inching
loyalty.
I'VE recommend that the secretary
send to each and every one of the con-
tributlng associations an expression of
our gratitude, assuring them the as
sistance has made it possible to main
tain the Pacific Coast league"
The following officers were elected
for the coming year: President, Eugene
F. Bert; first vice president, w. w.
McCreedie;. second vice president, c.
w. Pendleton; secretary ry-treasurer,
Daniel W. Long.
Directors elected are: A. B. Evans,
Fresno; Russ Hail. Seattle; w. w.
McCreedie, Portland; e. N. Walter,
Oakland; j. Cal Ewing, San Francisco;
c.. w. Pendleton, Los Angeles.
pertinent issue of yesterdays
meeting was consideration of the
question involving a loan of league
players to outside clubs or minor or
ganizations and it was decided that
a fine would be imposed for any viola
ton Of a rule which will prohibit the
loan of players without a written Or
der from the league president.
1t was also agreed that uniform
ladies' day will be observed through
out the circuit, Friday to be set aside
for the fair fans.
Cal Ewing, as a committee on sup
plies, recommended the use of Spald-
ing balls and a formal acceptance was
made.
1t was impossible to do anything in
the way of arranging a schedule yes
terday but the matter may be taken
up this morning.
In order to avoid discussion as re-
CARDS calling of games to enable play
ers to catch trains 1t was decided to
call games forty-five minutes before
train time.
A new ball ground is to be con-
structed in San Francisco and it has
been arranged to play at Oakland
Sunday mornings and Tuesday after
Moons, as in past years.

40 TO | SHOT
WINS At ASCOT
HEAVILY PLAYED FAv0RITES
COME UNDER
Pepper and Salt Causes Sensation by
Flashing from Fourth Position at
+ Head Of Stretch and De-
featlns Blue Bottle

Balmy skies. fast track and a good
crowd entered into the Ascot program
yesterday. Incidentally the longest
priced horse of the season romped home
at the smacking odds of 40 to I. Two
more outsiders shared honors with
three heavily backed favorltes and in
all PROBABILITY the bookies did not have
a shade the best.
Immediately following Jake Holt
mans raising of the first barrier a
shock occurred when Pepper and Salt
came on and beat out the heavily com
missioned favorite, Blue Bottle. The
pencil men evidently reaped a harvest
and scant line cashed tickets on the
spicy winner.
Blue Bottle was interfered with when
the winner swerved. Preston made a
claim Of foul, which was not allowed.
Prolific beat out Halton for show
money.
James A. Murray justified his heavy
backing by winning the second race
All Black set the pace. but when Muir
ray chose he came on for an easy win.
Young Davis and Creston Boy had the
show money between them all the way
when All Black stopped.
Young Davis outgamed Creston Boy.
Nuns Yelling was running all over
houres in the stretch after an unlucky
start.
Judge Denton evidently is out to go
Bill Curtis one better. Winning yes
terday, the Judge made 1t three
straight. He disployed rare gameness
under the whip and by a clever bit of
horsemanship Booker just managed
to lift him under the wire a nose to the
fore of Betsy.
The latter showed fine speed but was
palpably short. Lolita Gladstone ran
third all the way. Sun Mark ran for
ward for half and should do better
the next time out. Bonnie Prince
Charlie can attain faster FORM
Backers of Treasure Seeker were
shouting with glee in the fourth event
when he took a lead of four lengths
during the first furlong. Jack was
waiting, however, and when Boland
made his move shot to the front like a
flash and won easily. Seeker was
whipped up for the place. San Alviso
closed strong. Black Mate showed
speed, but ran out at the turn for home.
Kunz was set down three days for
bad behavior at the post on San AL
viso.
Told You was made false favorite
In the fifth event and Jetsam, which
could be had at as good as 10 to 1, lay
back to the stretch, from where he
came on to win all out from Legatee.
The latter was moving down horses at
the close and would have won in a
few more jumps.
Chancellor Walworth was close up
and ran a good race all the way. I
Told You quit to nothing an eighth out.
Pacific can do better, while Sais has a
weakness for the muddy track.
Perry Wilkes captured the sixth event
in desperate drive to the wire. last
ing long enough to win from Toller
The winner took the lead, closely fol-
lowed by Toller, which came with a
rush upon the fast firing Wilkes. Moth
ing was the pace and outgained Come
dian, the favorite. The latter had a
rough journey and was much the best.
