lNTHE FIELD OF SP0RTS
mo- RE-ELECT powERs.

The annual meeting of the East
ern League, to be held to-day at the
Hotel Victoria, New York city, will
result in the restoration of former
President p. T. Powers to the head
of that organization, and in the COM
plete rout of the men who opposed
him, and were in a measure respon-
sible for the resignation of President
Powers at the annual session, just
twelve months ago, and the election
OF Harry Taylor, of Buffalo, to the
Eastern League leadership-results
that the majority of Eastern League
directors and baseball followers in
general throughout the country have
bitterly regretted.
One season with President Taylor
at the head has proved to the club
owners and the attendants at the
games played in this years cham
pionship the mistake made in turn
ing down President Powers, the man
who made the Eastern League what
it has been for years, second only IN
prominence to the major organiza-
tons in baseball, and those who were
influenced to accept Taylor at the
last annual meeting are the ones most
loyal to ex-President Powers, and
have been instrumental in bringing
about the plans that will restore p.
T. Powers to his old position and
again insure the administration of
Eastern League affairs with the inn
Partially that always prevailed with
Mr.. Powers in charge.

100000 MEMBERS
In GRAND ARMY
Surprising Gain In Membership
During Year - Kansas
Leads tho List.

Strange as 1t may seem to the aver
age outsider, there has been a gain in
the membership Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic during the past year. The
total membership at present is, in
round numbers, 100000, and of this
number. $500 were added since the
national encampment at Denver.
News Of this increase, notwithstanding
a heavy and rapidly increasing death
rate, is one Of the pleasant surprises
OF enoampment week. It will be re-
ferred to by the commander in chief
in his annual address, the figures
covering it will appear in the annual
report Of the adjutant general, Captain
Tweedale Of Washington, D. g. p
The largest gain during the year has
been in Kansas, which is shown as the
"soldier state" There are more than
$4,000 veterans in that state today, and
It has been the policy of Department
Commander P. H. Coney to gather in
the outsiders as rapidly as possible.
During the past year he secured 1900
of them, and this explains, in part, why
he was selected department commander
for second time.
The gain in membership In Mime
sofa during the year has been about

Congress is Likely to Be Censured for
Abolishing Them.

The canteen situation is beginning to
assume something like definite form.
1t is almost certain that a resolution
will be handed to the resolutions COM
mlttee carrying q severe critism of
congress for its action last winter in
abolishing canteens in national soldiers,
homes. What the resolution COM
mittee will do with it cannot be known
at this time. but should an effort be
follow. 1t looks as if the encampmens
would, before its final session. have an
opportunity to go on record.
Two years ago, whom John Lind
of Minneapolis was I'm congress,
he was called upon to oppose
a bin Withholding government APP
propriations from all state homes which
have canteens: The bill was passed.
however, and is now a law. Last ses-

the canteens should 90 from. all no.
tionA homes. -.
So far as well posted Grand Army
men now In the city can remember,
there was only one state home which
had q canteen, that Of California, at
Yountville. Some man at that place,
having a grudge against the manage
ment of the home, went to Washington,
and getting what help he could from
outside sources, began an agitation in
favor of having the government refuse
financial per capita aid to all state
homes where tho eanteen Was installed.
This action was finally taken, and the
1ountville man eyened up his old
score, whatever it was. -"
With the national soldiers homes.
however, it is different. There was a
canteen at every one of them at the
time congress acted last winter, and
the wall that has gone up from the
inmates has been something that the
average Grand Army politician has
found difficult to withstand.
A strong resolution will be handed to
