The New York Nationals have signed a
new catcher. NJ. w. Fitzgerald is his name
and he played last year in an independent
league at Sharon, Pa. He weighs lS5 pounds
and is said TO be a good thrower and likely
hitter. None OF the members OF last years
team has signed so far. none having been
asked to do so as yet. Word has been re-
ceived from Mathewson, who is wintering at
his home in Lewisburg. Pa, that he has re-
moved the plaster cast from his left wrist
which he hurt last summer, and that the
wrist is as strong as ever. Secretary

range an exhibition with Princeton TO be

Undoubtedly many of the men who are
graduating this year will make splendid
coaches, and 1t might be that the team
which does not secure Norcross, the cap
tain and quarter back OF the Michigan
team, will lose prize. but here is where
the board is up against 1t. 1t is hard to
decide from this distance how much of the
credit for the victories of the Michigan
team belongs TO Yost and how much to
Norcross 1t Is hard to tell how Norcross
could succeed as a handler of men If thrown
upon his own resources without the back
up of Yost. He surely has become filled
with the hurry-up idea, which really IS one
of the greatest things in foot ball and
might be able to jump out and enthuse
western team with some of the hurry-up
spirit which has characterized the Michigan
team since Yost went there. An eastern
writer has well said that the speed of the
western teams is the great superiority
which they show over their eastern rivals.
Often in the east quarter is seen to stand
up straight, look the field over and then
deliberately call a signal. This is not the
case with a Michigan team. 1t is up and
away while an eastern team would be
wondering what is going to happen. The
board will have to decide between one of
these new men and man who has been
tried and made good Seasoned judgment

Omaha bowlers have not decided as yet
whether team will be sent to represent
this city at the national tournament which
will be held at Louisville March II to 20.
The matter is still under discussion and
the association is about equally divided
upon the proposition. Omaha has some
splendid bowlers, who could make a good
record against the best in the country
and a decision should be reached as soon
as possible to give the boys a chance to
get in some good practice. A tournament
is hard on a team and the knowledge that
they are playing against the best in the
country and the large crowds which watch
the matches is apt to throw the players
off their game, to some extent. and thus it
is necessary to choose some of the level
headed boys and give them an opportunity
to practice up.

Nebraska has accepted the advances made
by Kansas for renewal of athletic rela-
tons with that institution after a break of
two years. This break was occasioned by a
protest made by the Jayhawkers over the
eligibility of Bender. the crack halfback.
The thing that made Kansas more sore
than any other is that Bender won the foot
ball game which was played against Kan
just after the protest was filed. by
seventy-yard run. Kansas has now signi-
fed its willingness to let bygones go and
to again resume the relations which had
existed for some time prior to the break.
Under the terms of the compact the Jay
hawkers will send a basket ball team to
Lincoln this winter and in the fall will
send the foot ball team to Lincoln for
game. An effort was also made by Kansas
to include Missouri in the agreement, but
this did not meet with much favor from
Nebraska unless Missouri would agree to
play the foot ball games between the two
colleges at Lincoln. Missouri has taken
such back seat OF late that sufficient
crowds could not be drawn at Columbia to
warrant the expense of the Cornhuskers
going there for a game.

SAFE COUNSEL PREVAILS.
Russian Parliament Settles Down TO
Regular Work.

ST. Petersburg.-The threatened
storm over the Emperor's refusal to
receive the delegation from the lower
house of Parliament, appointed to pre-
sent to him it's reply to the speech
from the throne, has been averted.
The House Monday adopted a reso-
luton to proceed with the regular
order of business and the discussion Of
the agrarian question began.
The moderate leaders of the Consti-
tutional Democrats, after laboring with
the hot-heads until the early morning
hours, succeeded in convincing them
that it would be a fatal blunder to
precipitate a conflict upon false
issue, and a resolution was prepared
pointing out that the Importance of the
address consisted in it's contents, and
not in the form in which it is trans
mitted to the Emperor.
A resolution of Novogorodseff, urg-
ing the necessity for overlooking minor
incidents and getting to work on agra
rian questions, was unanimously
adopted, after which the House pro-
ceeded with the agrarian debate.
The project adopted by the conven-
ton of the Constitutional Democrats,
laying down the general principle that
the land belonged to those who titled
it, was formally presented, but was
temporarily laid aside to permit the
organization of committees to examine
credentials and investigate the election
of members. Eleven committees, In
cluding the entire membership of the
House and distributed by lot. were ap.
pointed for this purpose.

TO-DAY DECIDES WHETHER
OWL CAR SERVICE WILL BE
GRANTED WITHOUT FIGHT
COMMITTEE TO MEET MIR. HUNTINGTON
Councilmen Determined to Secure Concession Even
if 1t Becomes Necessary to Pass and
Enforce Ordinance-Houghton Is
Given Object Lesson

a willing ear to the special committee
when it calls on him this morning
The council has been good to Mr..
Huntington on previous occasions, and
when on the eve of an election the
council asks something for which there
is an almost unanimous public clamor,
Mr.. Huntington will give the subject
more than usual consideration, is the
opinion of the council.
Resolution Is Ready
OF course, if Mr.. Huntington should
refuse to consider the proposal of the
special committee there is resolution
in the hands of the committee of the
whole that can be acted upon at any
time. This resolution directs the city
attorney to draw up an ordinance COM
pell1ng the street car companies to
continue the street ear service until
1880 O'Clock in the morning, at least.
Rather than take action on this reso-
luton the council will be willing to
meet Mr.. Huntington half way and
compromise on half-hourly service
to 2:30 or o'clock in the morning, pro-
Vlded Mr.. Huntington will do so of his
own free will and accord. This reso-
luton is in no way held as a club over
the head of Mr.. Huntington, and the
special committee that calls on him
this morning probably will not so much
as mention 1t, but it is an alternativ
that will insure owl cars to the travel
ing public.
The results of the conference be-
tween the special committe and the
street railway magnate will be watched
for with interest by nearly every citi-
zen of Los Angeles. This is one of the
few instances in which the present
council has been engaged in work that
affected all of the people all of the
time.
First Official Effort
This is not the first movement that
has been made toward securing owl
cars for this city, but it is the first
that has ever been taken up officially
and brought to the attention of the
head of the street railway system.
Abortive attempts from time to time
have been made to have a later street
car service, but some street railway
official other than Mr.. Huntington has
always raised the bugaboo, I'VE would
rather hire cabs for those who are
compelled to stay downtown late at
night than continue our service all
ntghts& and this has invariably fright.
ened away the individual who had
wondered why there were no cars later
than 1890 o'clock.
1t is a stock phrase. this hiring cabs
for the owls. Probably not city in
the country has secured an all-night
street car service without demanding
it, and the first demand invariably was
met with this pseudo-argument. But
the street railway companies that have
first scoffed then tried it as an expert
ment continue to run the all-night cars
and wax wealthy from the profits.
A street car company does not pro-
pose to put on all-night cars unless
there is a demand for them, and the
companies do not know Of the demand
until 1t is made.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-04

Councilmen Houghton, Kern and
Healy, composing the special commit
tee of the city council. this morning
will confer with H. e. Huntington and
endeavor to persuade him to put on
late night street car service.
The members of the committee are
little divided among themselves.
Houghton is anxious that the service
shall be for all night and Kern de-
clareS he will be reasonably content
If the street car companies will only
put on a half hour service to 2:30
o'clock in the morning. Healy has ex-
pressed no particular preference He
will be satisfied if the Stret cars run
a good deal later than they do now.
but how much later he is not willing to
say until he has heard some facts
and figures from the companies.
In one essential, at least, the COM
mittee is united and that is the street
cars must run longer than they do at
present.
Owl Car object Lesson
Houghton is more earnest than ever
in his effort to secure owl cars. AL
though he needed no spur, he received
one early yesterday morning. He was
out for a night run in his automobile
and was returning to the city after
midnight. AT the corner of Forty-sixth
street and South Park avenue, long
way from his home, his machine broke
down.
For a long time Houghton labored
in the dark to fix it, and when he was
finally compelled to give up the last
street car had stopped running. For
several hours he was compelled to sit
out in the chilly dawn, watching his
machine and waiting for chance to
get home.
"If 1 ever wanted owl cars I did
last night" said Houghton yesterday
"I had a long time to think about it
and 1 came to the conclusion that we
should have started this crusade for
an all-night street car service long ago.
/ needed no spur before, but / am per-
fectly rabid for owl cars now"
To Avoid Coercion
Coercing the street car companies
into FURNISHING an all-night service
by Legislation is something the city
council is trying to avoid. Although
the council has a legal right to demand
that street cars be run at any and all
times of day and night, the council
knows that what Huntington does not
want to do and what he is willing to
do voluntarily are two very different
things. legislation or no legislation.
The council found this out when it
attempted to pass an ordinance COM
pelling the street cars to stop on the
street crossings instead of in the mid
die OF the block, as is now the case.
The council passed the ordinance all
right. but the cars continue to dis
charge and take on passengers where
the stop signs are located, two ear
lengths from the center of the street
intersection.
No member of the special committee
and scarcely a member of the council
doubts that Mr.. Huntington will give
