lition of the fee system is a necessary re-
form in our civil service No one thing
has done so much to lower the standard

of public censure on which the nation must
rely for efficiency and honesty in its agents

places under the government the remunera-

degree of shrewdness and unscrupulousness
of the incumbent.

Practical evidence that Angelenos
are anxiously awaiting the appear

manifest from. the interest which is
being taken by Southern California

During the past week many inauir-

attendant upon the April exhibit, evil
denclng the fact that a large entry
list must be prepared for the show.
1t is probable that In addition to
the valuable prizes which have been
offered by the association many more
will be donated by enthusiasts who are
anxious for the greatest competition
possible for the initial horse function
of Los Angeles.
Colonel John Fl. Norton has donated
$100 that will be awarded to the high
est class four-in-hand at the exhibit.
The donation is to be rendered in the
form of cup or In cash, at the dis

NEW YORK, March 24.-Those in
terested in the introduction of Rugby
football In the United States are work
Ing to have one or more English teams
make trip through this country next
fall, while in all probability, it is said,
general conference will be held
abroad in which delegates from this
country will be asked to take part.
The instigator of this movement in
this country is w. de Burgh Whyte,
secretary of the Columbia university
club. He has corresponded with Per-
cival Cowles, secretary of the Rugby
football union in London and recently
received the following letter from Mr..
Cowles, In which the latter said:
Il laid your correspondence before
my committee at their last meeting.
The whole matter will come up before
the international board at the meet
ing Saturday, March q. The follow
ing resolution will be proposed by this
union:
That conference be held between
delegates Of the colonial unions, the
United States of America and the in
ternational board, such a conference to
take place before the meeting of the
board in March, 1907"
The resolution providing for the con-
vention was taken up last Saturday,
and Mr.. Whyte, although he had not
heard the result, says that he has re-
ceived assurances from England which
lead him to believe that 1t was passed.
Those who are advocating Rugby as
an international game believe that the
western colleges will play an important
part in arousing interest in this coun-
try The University of California has
sent her football coach to England for
the purpose of studying the English
game.
Mr.. Whyte hopes for an international
game between Columbia and Oxford or
Cambridge, which would go far toward
arousing interest here.

HALL AFF{XES
HIS SIGNATURE
RECALCITRANTS ARE GETTING
INTO LINE
"Bones" Baum Is Now Only Member
of Pennant Winners Who Refuses
to Accept Contract
for 1905

The recalcitrant Angels are slowly
coming into the fold and it is believed
that before the end of this week all
will have attached their signatures to
the contracts offered them by Manager
Jim Morley for next season.
The latest prodigal to return is War
rem Hall, one of the most useful and
effective of the twirling staff of the
Angels, who yesterday signed his
name to the contract offered him by
Morley.
With Hall safely landed in the ranks,
Bones" Baum is the only one of the
champions who resists the importu-
mites to please come home" Bones
is having an extended vacation at
Frisco and has shown no hurryup signs
of singing ink as he should, but Nor
ley has ceased to worry and If Baum
does not toe the scratch he will draw
no salary and the Morleyites will go
ahead with the process OF winning an
other pennant.
Morley was much gratified yesterday
after Hall affixed his signature to the
contract for next season and predict
ed that this act removed every doubt
of the Angelic crews ability to retain
the bunting.
Hall was afflicted with innumerable
disabilities last season which affected
HIS DuI ue Is nOW III eACel-
lent condition and says he is ready to
show the fans what marvel he really
is
Morley, too, is confident that the big
twirler will deliver the goods this sea-
son and prove a most valuable man in
the box. In speaking of Hall yester-
day, Morley said that had he been able
to go at his best clip last season none
of the twirlers could have been able
to show better form.
The absence of Baum, if he really
intends to remain outside the fold, will
be material handicap to the Angels,
as Bones" was one of the greatest
pitchers on the coast last season, but
Morley is inexorable in his determina-
tion to treat all players alike, which
means that Baum will not get any
more money for the seven months
work than Is rightfully due him.
Excellent Prospects
No team in the Pacific Coast league
has as brilliant prospects for winning
the 1906 pennant as have the Angels.
At this time last season the Seraphic
band had no Tozer, no Nagle, and no
lots of other things they have this
season.
Until Tozer and Nagle were attached
to the pay roll and began to hit up
at q lively speed, Baum, Hall and
Goodwin were the chief dependence IN
the box and these curve artists were
overworked until they became stale.
When this fact became apparent
Morley stepped out in the highways
and byways and picked up couple of
lnarvels and after they became accli-
mated and acquainted they began to
toss major league ball and in short
time the Angels dug out of a deep
hole and began the steady climb of
the pennant pole.
This season the Angels will start
off with the premier pitching staff on
the coast and with a team of players
behind them who are experienced,
seasoned and accustomed to working
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-25

periority of either mans game lends
an added interest in the result and
the series will attract unusual atten-
tion and interest in billiard circles.
Kennedy won the Savoy tournament
honors in San Francisco last year. de-
feating William Mcguire in the final
game. They subsequently met in a
match game at Morley's Frisco par
lors and again Kennedy won.
Mcguire Is considered one of the
most formidable players in class B
ranks in California, and the two de-
cisive defeats administered by Ken
nedy put the latter in the foremost
rank of cue experts on the coast
Seymour is an old and seasoned vet
eran of the cue and the trophies which
dangle from his belt tell of innumer-
able victories on the green cloth
against some Of the "best what is"
Seymour is an expert at this style of
play and is at the top of the heap in
local circles. He was selected as the
opponent of Kennedy because he has
demonstrated upon many occasions
that he is the king bee at this game
in Southern California, and Kennedy is
about the only one who dares dispute
his reign.
The games will furnish entertain
ment of rare nature for all lovers
of the three-ball game and, with the
two acknowledged leaders of the ballz
line play In Southern California en-
gagged in a duel for championship hon
ors, an unusual interest attaches to the
series.
Despite the fact that this Is to be
q championship affair, the games will
be free to the public, or so much there
of as may be able to get inside with
out interfering with the players. J.
D. Wiley will act as referee and the
games will be called at o'clock each
evening
