six weeks before that of the association When
the majors get through with the smaller
leagues there are few players that are
worth the attention of the association. Now
If an association club owner desires to get
these players he must pay the drafting club q
fancy price. II the player is returned to the
club from which he was drafted and the as
ISOLATION magnate seeks to get him later the
price usually continues to be away up. A
major league club frequently buys or drafts
player for the sole purpose of preserving
the man for certain owner an act that
manifestly is unfair.
'T do not believe that baseball war will
result because while conditions are bad now
they are capable of easy adjustment. Several
major league magnates have informed me per-
sonally that they realize the injustice that is
being done the association and have promised
me. their support in remedying matters The
association does not want a war. 1t passed
through one successfully, and that is enough.
IT do not know that a movement Is on foot
to establish clubs in cities now controlled by
the majors, but even If this should develop,
they cannot say that the association is an OUT
law. 1t would simply be a fight of an inde-
pendent organization for existence"

CHANCES BRIGHT
FOR NEW LEAGUE
coMISKEY OUT AFTER SCALP OF
BAN JOHNSON
Talk Of Organizing Six.cIub Circuit
to Buck National and American
Organizations May Amount
!, to Something

There's very good chance of the country
having third big baseball league next year.
Claude Martin and John Mcmahon are hold
ing a serious gabfest with Charley Comiskey
in Chicago and this makes things look black
for the American and National leagues.
You know that when that lad Comislkey
gets out to scrap-wel, there's always some
thing doing, that's all.
Comiskey is sore. and very sore. on Ban
johnson, and when Charley gets sore it's all
off. l,t -t..ts-.
Martin and McMahon have plenty Of backing.
This is the proposition: Comiskey is deter
mined to put Ban johnson out Of business
He made Ban, and now he means to unmake
him. Comiskey is organizing new big league
which will play Chicago, New York, st. Louis.
Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Pittsburg
Here's why: Milwaukee is considered big
enough to get a good show at fast ball. and at
least II couldn't be as rotten ball town as
Detroit, Cincinnati and .Pittsburg. great cities,
only have one club, and as they are without
baseball half the time during the summer
second team could easily be placed In one II
not both cities; q third team would certainly
have chance to live fat In st. Louis with two
such punks as the Cardinals and Browns play
ing there; In Chicago William Nielsen, owner
OF the north side ball grounds, has applied
for franchise in the American association
league that wants to break into Chicago. and
oven threatens to declare itself the equal OF
the National and American leagues.
And right here is one good pointer: In scout
ing the idea of third big league. don't for
get Charley Comiskey.
King Connie has put them all on the bum
before this, and 1t won't be a bit surprising
to see him in the field with great six-club
brand new league next summer, and buying up
the best players OF the old ones at that. You
can bank on 1t, that II he goes out after Ban
Johnsons scalp he'll get it. all right, all
right, Georgie.

GYR0PLANE is LATEST
MONARCH OF AIRSHIPS
Louis Breguet Makes Important Dis
covery, Which Elds Fair to Solve
PerpIexing Problems for
Aeronauts

PARIS, Oct. 26.-A new principle of aerial
navigation with heavier-than-air air machines has
been employed in some recent experiments and
gives promise Of large results. Instead Of u.s.
ing planes on the box kite principle. driven by
vertical propeller. is the case in the
aeroplanes OF Santos Dumont and other expert
menters up to this time, rotary horizontal
planes are used In other words, the gyros-
copic principle is employed and the machine
Is called the gyroplane. The theory is that
by employment OF horizontal propellers the
machine can be easily lifted and lowered after
the fashion of the old .'helicoptre" toy, longi-
tudinal motion being obtained by tho forces
of gravitation by allowing the machine to dip
heavy birds soar. Count de Lambert believes
that this is the true solution OF aerial flight,
but the honor of construction OF the first ma
chine on this principle belongs to Louis Bre-
guet. He has built machine in the general
form OF a St. Andrews cross. each arm hav-
ing at rs extremity eight revolving paddles
or propellers slightly inclined. These thirty
two paddles present total surface of thirty
five square meters and are revolved by 40
horse power motor at the center OF the cross,
where the pilot sits. The total weight OF the
machine is b7S Kilograms. In the preliminary
trials the machine left the ground instantly
when the motor was set in motion and was
easily sustained In the air with seventy-eight
revolutions q minute When the motor was
slowed down the gyroplane descended gently.
Perfect equilibrium is maintained. Longi-
tudinal flight has not yet been attempted, but
the inventory thinks It will be easy to make
seventy-fve kilometers an hour

Mr. Havenor refuses to believe that condi-

G. w. ISAAcS
Captain Of rowing crew

TTAvING passed through the swaddling
III clothes stage and emerged from in
14 fantile smallness to manly proper
tions, the Los Angeles Athletic club is
preparing to celebrate its second anni-
versary with big birthday party New
Years day.
There are 701 ordinary members and
115 who have been given a life sentence
in the institution, and they are all good
Indians.
The boys intend to decorate the two
entire floors occupied by the club at b341h
South Spring street until they are spec
tacles Of gorgeousness, although no red
paint will be allowed. The various de-
partments, including the boxing, fencing,
handball courts, gymnasium and fun
bazaar are busy fixing up agreeable sur
prises for visitors and a grand hoola
hoola is promised in the line Of comfort
and amusement.
The Chuckawallas are abroad in the
land, and from the way they spiel 1t
looks as though something will be doing.
Van Court has arranged choice set OF
mixerinos which are scheduled to come
off in the second week of November, and
things generally around the club house
are livening up.
Perhaps no other institution of its kind
in the country has had, such rapid growth
and gratifying success as the Los An
geles Athletic club.
The L. A. A. G. was organized January
1, 1905, by its present board of directors,
including r. A. Rowan, president; Frank
A. Garbutt, vice president; Charles Ey-
ton, secretary; r. w. Kenny, treasurer;
Theodore Bessing. and w. f. Henderson,
assistant secretary.
The club has never known the trials
and tribulations usually experienced by
such organizations. 1t was success
from the start.
There are living rooms upstairs, din
ing room, billiard parlor, Turkish baths,
locker rooms barber shop, reading rooms,
music room and offices.
The chief advantages to be derived from
such an organization are the physical de-
velopment Of the younger members, and
the exercising of the older men. A great
part of the l.. A. A. c. membership is
made up of business men. The good effect
on young men is inestimable, as the club
gives them beautiful home, a decent,
clean source of amusement and play.
The future plans of the club, as out
lnied by Vive President Garbutt, are big.
The L. A. A. C. will soon have a new
home. at the corner of Seventh and Olive
streets, where it has already purchased
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-27


the lot, running 14S feet on Olive and 155
on Seventh, for $45O00O.
A new club building will be erected here
at a cost of s6500O0 for the building alone,
making total expenditure of over mil
lion dollars.
The directors want to give Los Angeles
one Of the largest and finest athletic
clubs in the world, with the best equip
ment and convenience.
The two main features Of the new club
building will be the magnificent gymnas-
um and large plunge.
The men who run the club are all big
men. The men who have charge of the
various departments are the best in their
lines in the United States.
Al Treloar, who has charge of the phys
ical culture department is famous as the
possessor of the finest physique in the
world, having won the prize for the most
perfectly built man in the great Medison
Square garden contest in New York sew
eral years ago.
De Witt Clinton Van Court is the boxing
master, and he has turned out over thirty
amateur champions
Henri Uttyenoze, fencing master of the
club, is one of the greatest fencers in the
country.
Franklin rowing coach, developed a
crew which won the championship and
defeated San Diego last summer.

THE PRESIDENCY

Within the past few years politics in the United States has set a pace which no President could travel except one who has youth and physical vigor on his side From present indications the pace will continue to be speedy for the future. For public man youth may mean anything under sixty. Several Presidents were about that age at in auguration. On entering office John Adams and Jackson were each sixty two. Taylor was sixty-fve. Buchanan was sixty-six, and William Henry liar. rison was sixty-eight Harrison and Taylor, however-the former a month and the later year and a third after inauguration-die in office. Buchan. an turned out to be one of the weakest of all the Presidents. Adams made an efficient Executive, and so did Jackson, but much of Jackson s success was due to the blunders of his adversaries. All the other Presidents were under sixty when inaugurated. But none of the Presidents here named, except Buchan- an, who was confronted with the issue if secession and the civil war, ever had to deal with such large questions as are constantly presenting themselves to President Roosevelt, and such as are likely to present themselves to Presi- dents hereafter.
 The large questions for President to consider are far more numerous now than they were in Buchanan s day.. or in that of any of his predecessors. The United States has three times the pop ulation and ten times the wealth that it had when Buchanan was inaugurated More business is done here today in a month than was done then in a year Its army, it's navy, and it's civil service are necessarily many times larger than they were then. Alaska, Porto Rico Hawaii and the Philippines were not un- der our flag at that time. We have es- tablished political protectorate over Cuba and the Republic of Panama, and we have financial receivership over Santo Domingo. At Panama we arc building great Atlantic Pacific short cut for the shipping of the world. In Buchanan time the United States stood low in the scale of nations in wealth, in business activity and in international influences. In Roosevelt E day we have, in all these particulars gone to the front among the peoples of the world All these things put q greater strain upon presidents than they had to meet formerly. An equipment of youth and physical vitality is needed for the presidents of the present and

Property Rights

A subscriber writes the editor of the Los Angeles Mining Review: I have read within the week that claim owner at Goldfeld, New, has had trou- ble with people who undertook to estab- fish themselves on his ground by erect ing tents thereon, and who were pre- pairing to build frame shacks on his claim, calling themselves "squatters. y What rights have squatters, or other trespassers, under any name, on a min ing elaimi
 To which the Review answers: Min ing locations based upon bona fde discovery of mineral in place and prop erly staked or monumented, as required by federal and state laws, are real prop erty in the strictest sense of the term, and as such are subject to assessment and taxation. Such being the case, as long since determined by the courts, so far as we can see, neither squatters nor trespassers, under any name, have any rights in the premises under any pre- text whatever; nor are they entitled to enter upon the surface of legally sub sisting mineral elaim-quartz or placer any more than such persons would have to enter the agricultural land of another, or to invade his lot in city and set up tent or construct a build ing thereon without consent of the owner
 The fact that the claim is unpatented is of no consequence, as legal claim held by possessory right only, entities the owner to the exclusive possession of his ground as much as a patent would.
 In our opinion the squatters have no rights in the case at all, and should be elected.
