practice on South Field next Monday. Work

will be much better for playing than last
season. Since the baseball season last year
the entire field has been sown with grass

of the dormitories have been made so that
there will be a regulation size diamond this

AUTO OFFICIALS HERE.
President Farson and Secretary GOrham
Get Ready for Business.

John Farson. the newly elected president
OF the American Automobile Association.
and Sidney Gorham. secretary. arrived In
this city yesterday from Chicago and spent
a large part OF the day in the office of the
association in West Forty-second street.
Neither cared To make any announcement
OF his plans but both said they have a num-
Der Of ideas to offer at the meeting OF the
association to be held next week as to tour
ing, racing, good roads, legislation and other
important matters in connection with the
automobile sport and trade.
A large mail awaited Mr.. Gorham asking
for all sorts Of information as to good roads
and other matters appertaining to the ONCE.
From the hurried way he looked over the
mail and answered each OF the queries one
by one. several aItomobilists who had come
TO his Office to congratulate him in his new
position passed the verdict that he will make
an excellent man for the place. One OF the
first letters Mr.. Gorham opened was from
A, q, Batohelder, former secretary. wishing
him all kinds of good luck.
Mr.. Gorham is a lawyer and for that reason
is especially suited for the position, which
requires an intimate knowledge of legislative
matters. In trying to obtain a new law for
Illinois Mr.. Gorham spent ten days in carry
ing around forty or more lawmakers In his
automobile in an effort to persuade them
that his bill was a proper one.
According to a despatch received yester-
day from Los Angeles +. r. Thomas OF Buff
falo has wired to the American Automobile
Association protesting against the appoint
ment of any agents or members Of the auto;
mobile firms on the. racing board which viii!

that it would be better for the sport to APP
