all the local directors hope for is a steady

New Second Baseman Looks Good.
If the glowing reports from the Pacific
coast turn out but partially true, George
NH will have his work cut out for him
to keep Henry LawrenceSchlafly from sup
planting him as the regular second base
man of the Nationals next season. Schlafiy
will have the advantage over Mil In being
a big man and Manager Stahl has a we'll
known liking for the large boys, although
he has expressed himself as thinking that
the midget infielder is one of the coming
players of the country. But Stahl is one
of those fellows who play no favorites and
the man who looks the best will get the
regular berth.
Larry Schlaiy was spotted by one
OF the numerous agents of the Washing
ton club after it was thought the Pacific
Coast League had been thoroughly combed
OF Its best men. He was playing with the
Portlands at the time. but late in the sea-
son, owing to the mix-up between Tim
Flood. Jud Smith and the umpire, he was
transferred to Los Angeles with Shortstop
Jakey Atz of this city. The fielding and
batting of Schlahy had a great deal to do
with Los Angeles winning the champion
ship from Tacoma, and when the season
closed he was at the top OF his game.

day, and as a result J. Carter, the jockey
who rode H. NJ. P, was ruled off. Sceptre

so badly ridden that the extreme penalty
followed.

numerous scratches. leaving six races to be

Captain Bob and Rather Royal were the

able that Mayor Reed would comply
with this request The councilmen'
would then appear before Court Com
missioner Cleaver, in the absence of
Judge Rigg of the superior court, and
ling Nicol to surrender the papers to
Mr.. Redman at once.
One Of the councilmen was asked
what course would be pursued in case
the court commissioner declined to is
sue writ of mandamus.
THAT would not bother us in the
least" he replied. 1T would only have
the effect of causing a slight delay.
for we would go to Olympia with all
the haste possible and make applica-
ton for the writ in the supreme court.
In case of failure to get it here, that
is just what we will do. The mayor is
determined that Ncol shall be engineer
on the sewer job until it is completed,
and the councilmen are Just as de-
termined that he shall not There is
nothing in the statement that it re-
quires five of the council to enforce 4
matter of this kind in opposition to the
mayor. Four are sufficient"
1t seems to be generally understood,
but perhaps there are some who do
not know that the demand of the
councilmen opposed to Nicol was that
he be relieved of his duties in con-
nection with the sewer. Not one of
the councilmen has asked or desires
that he be removed from his office of
city engineer The power to make such
removal lies with the mayor. But there
is no reason for a demand of this kind.
All that the four councilmen asked,
and all that the citizens ask through
them. is that a change of engineers be
made in the interests of the sewer.
that it may be completed sooner and III
better shape, without the childish
pickering and quarrelings that have
annoyed the council and the people
since the first day Engineer Nicol be-
gan overseeing the work They be-
lieve that with another engineer, COM
petent and fair minded, the work would
proceed more rapidly, and probably be
done better. although no question has
been raised as to Nicols competency.

pressed an opinion favor either w. H.
Redman or H. f, Marble with little or
no preference between these gentlemen

Council Voted, -Four to Three, to Sup.
plant A. A. N;coI With Redman
or Marble.
MAYOR SAYS IT CUTS NO FIGURE
Tint NicoI IL Competent, and That He
VIII Not BE Disturbed-StOrmy
Scene I'm Council.

The city council Monday by vote
duced by Councilman Thompson pro-
viding that the work of constructing
the city sewer system be taken from
City Engineer Nicol and placed in the
hands Of either w. H. Redman or H. f.
Marble. The councilmen who voted in
favor of the resolution were Linbarger,
Marsh, Schott and Thompson; against
It, Armbruster, Keck and Lane.
The decisive vote followed a stormy
scene, in which the mayor repeatedly
declared that he would not put the
resolution to be voted upon, and that
he would not consider it for minute.
The resolution, in the form of a mo-
ton, was placed before the council by
Mr.. Thompson, who declared it car
yied.
The trouble began when Councilman
Thompson read the resolution. 1t pro-
vided that the sewer construction be
placed in charge of w. II. Redman, or
that If his services could not be Sc
cured that Ii. f. Marble be employ
ed, and that the engineer so secured
be placed in control Immediately and
have full charge; that his compensa-
ton be s. per day when actually en-
ployed, and that the city engineer be
instructed to turn over to him all
maps, plans, specifications and other
data pertaining to the sewer.
Mayor Reed fatty refused to enter
tain the motion. He said that City En-
gineer Nicol was competent and that
he was looking after the interests of
the taxpayers, and that so long as he
did this he would hold the office of
city engineer and have charge of the
sewer work.
Mr.. Marsh explained that there was
not the slightest desire on the part of
any of the council, so far as he knew.
to remove Mr.. Nicol But, he said, the
councilmen and the taxpayers Were
tired of the continual friction and
pickering between the sewer contract
or and the engineer, and that they
believed the trouble would be removed
IL a change of engineers We're made.
This led the mayor to declare that the
contention all arose out of desire OF
somebody to graft, and that he
would never allow it while he was
mayor. This riled Councilman Marsh
perceptibly. and he demanded the name
