SECRETARYSHIP
OF SCHOOL BOARD
MAY Be CHANGED
Plan Considered to Elect Clerk
Of Board at Fair Salary,
One May Also Act in That
Capacity to Superintendent
of Schools.
ONE TRUSTEE HAS QUALIFIED

Election OF ne wohicers in the
school board has revived the sngges-
ton that the secretaryship be given
TO some person, other than q trustee.
and that the Office OF clerk to the
superintendent be combined with Il
at a salary that would interest a CON-
petent man. Trustee Clements still
thinks the office OF secretary should
go to an outside person. but the pres
ent salary OF s25 month would
hardly attract the right kind OF appli-
cants. nor are the duties OF secretary,
while they would be too much for a
man OF business. enough TO occupy
ones sole attention.
Superintendent Carnagey now has
a stenographer at a salary OF s25 a
month and II the two positions OF
secretary OF the school board and as
sistant 70 the superintendent were
combined. the salary could be In
creased. Secretary W. r. Byrd may
not be elected again and there are
few other members OF the board who
could give the time to the once at
the sclary paid. II attended to prop
eriy. the secretary has more than s25
worth OF bookkeeping and running
around to do.
Trustees Winstead and Bondurant
seem to be most prominently men
toned for the presidency.
One Has Qualified.
c. G.. Kelly, OF the Fourth ward,
has qualified as trustee to succeed
himself. He Is the only one OF the
school trustees-elect who has secured
his certificate. They were delivered
TO Secretary Byrd about 10 days ago.
II has been the custom for the secre-
tary 10 deliver the certificates. and
Trustees elect Bondurant and Karnes
requested theirs. Secretary Byrd
said he would have the certificates at
the next meeting. n the trustees
elect wish 20 appear then and qualify
they may do so, Otherwise substl-
tutes will be elected in their places.
Since the trustees-elect must go
through formalities impossible at the
meeting. they could not qualify then.
aud II Secretary Byrd does not give
them a chance to qualify before that
time. OF course. he will be able to

WILL FIGHT ON COAST
SPECIAL DIsPATcH TO THE CALL.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Jack Palmer.
middleweight champion OF England.
has decided to visit the United States
and meet some OF the heavyweight c
fighters here. According to Sam Fitz4
patrick, Palmer will sail for New York
on March 2 and viii place himself in
Fitzpatrick's charge.
Fitzpatrick said tonight that hs
probably would match Palmer with
Tommy Burns for fifteen or twentV
round battle somewhere on the Pacido
coast. In the event of falling to get Z
match with Burns, Fitzpatrick will trJr
to get the Englishman on with Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien.
Palmer's skill Is a matter OF con-
lecture on this side Of the water. His
last battle was with Gunner Moir and
he made a fairly good showing, but the
experts here will want to ses him
action before they pass an opinion.
However, there probably would be
some lively bidding for a fight between
Burns or OBrien and Palmer. as there
are many who would like TO see the
English fighter IL action.

WOULD Make ARCADIA
An IDEAL RACING PLANT
Ambitious Plans of Lucky
Baldwin Seem Certain
of Fruition

Rudolph SpreckeIs, it is learned, Is
being urged by E. ]. (Lucky) Baldwin
to accept the presidency of the jockey
club which that veteran turfman will
organize to conduct the racing at his
proposed new track at Arcadia, in
Southern California, the site for which
is now being graded. While it is not
improbable that Spree6els viii join
hands with Baldwin in financing the
venture, it is doubtful If he can be in
duced to accept the honor which Bald
win would thrust upon him, according
to the statement of a gentleman who is
familiar with Spreckels attitude In
discussing the subject yesterday this
man said:
Mr. Spreckeis Is a very busy man. and feels
unable to spare the time which the duties OF
such a position would demand. 1t may be that
he and j. ]. Moore the wen-known local capt
talist, win accept the invitation which has been
extended to them TO become financially inter
ested in the Baldwin tracks. happen TO know
that Baldwin purposes building the track in any
event. Naturally he would prefer to have men
of standing and influence associated with him IN
the venture, but he is prepared TO undertake
that his purpose IN embarking upon the enter
prise is with the view to leaving monument
career on the turf He has very ambitious plans
for the Arcadia racing plant, and has decided
views as to how it should be conducted
Baldwins policy viii be TO have the track
managed with view to the elevation or the
sport of racing, rather than for revenue His
idea IS to make the speculative phase or the
game as unoOtrusiVe possible and TO place the
betting on basis similar TO that Of the metro
politan tracks of the East An effort will be
made to procure license direct from the New
York Jockey Club, and to have the racing con-
Quoted by officials appointed by that Organiza-
ton under the Eastern rules of racing
The location and environments OF the proposed
track are ideal Mr.. Baldwin viii endeavor to
recruit the membership Of his jockey club prin-
cipally among the wealthy turfmen OF the East
His plan is to offer them inducements 70 build
winter homes near the track, with every Facility
for enjoying the pleasure OF seeing their horses
run The social phase OF the sport is TO be
made very prominent.
1t is unlikely that the interests In control OF
Ascot Park VIII be represented in the govern
ment Of the new plant, in spite OF the reports
which have been circulated to that effect A
winter meeting Of about forty-fve days duration
is planned with very liberal stakes and purses.
Several persons whose names were In the be-
ginning connected with the undertaking are not
now in any way identified with the enterprise
