OCCIDENTAL TEAM TO
PLAY AT SANTA ANA
PRESBYTERIANS CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY
Varsity Lineup Is Still Matter of
Discussion, but Captain Merrill
VIII Soon Choose
Players

The Occidental college baseball team
will leave this afternoon at 1880 for
Santa Ana to mingle the horsehi6e with
the Podunk talent.
The Presbyterians have lately re-
turned with two out of three of the
scalps sought on their northern trip
swinging from their girths and are
optimistic over the game today.
The varsity lineup has not been de-
cided upon as yet, but Capt. Merrill
and his advisory staff are beginning to
level their affections on n nine which
is expected to fill the bill. All of the
candidates have improved wonderfully
since practice commenced, and the mat
ter of choice will not be easily settled.
The big southpaW, Patterson, is rapid
ly gaining prestige in the box. With
the exception of one bad inning in each
contest, which must be allowed him by
right of habit, Pats showing against
the Santa Barbara and Oxnard sluggers
was a correct imitation of Rube Wad-
dell. There is nothing particularly
puzzling about his delivery except his
wide incurve and slow straight ball, but
opposing batters fail to solve his ques-
tions
Thacker pitched a marvellous eleven
inning game against Ventura last Fri
day, which proved beyond a doubt that
all his good form of two years ago is
still somewhere In the folds of his
sleeve and he is counted upon to do
big share of the intercollegiate work
this season. Wieman and Merrill also
can be utilized on the mound if neces-
sary, but in the case of Merrill the wis
dom of spelling a good first baseman
TO make q mediocre pitcher is ques'
toned.
shortstop Not Chosen
The shortstop and turnstile jobs are
still open, although temporarily filled.
Thomas and Wieman have been work
ing in the first mentioned space, but
have not permanently elected to sport
the 0. Thomas would look better in
the sun parlor, but Is faster on his feet
than Wieman. Fred Johnson will prob
ably be stationed permanently at the
second sack, although he would have
a formidable competitor in Mcdowell
if the prep would come to rehearsal.
Bird seems to have found his affinity
in the middle conservatory, and In the
right field Baer is the only logical
selection both from territory covering
standpoint and in his ability to land an
occasional safe rap with the lam rod.
Thomson and Woodside are apparently
at swords points over the catching
honors, as neither has yet received
promotion from the squad ranks. Both
boys have performed creditably when
placed behind the screen and are alter
mating in the position.
The lineup against Santa Ana this
afternoon will be: Bird, center field;
Baer. right field; Thomas or Wieman,
left field; McKenny, third base; VIE
man or Thomas, short stop; johnson,
second base; Merrill, first base; Patter-
son and Thacker, pitchers; Thomson or
Woodside, catcher.

Steps were taken yesterday in the
city council by which about seventy
city blocks will be added to the saloon

change. The increase is intended TO
run the boundary line from Seventh
street north to Ninth and west from
San Julian street TO the Los Angeles

Behind a simple petition designed to
admit the Eureka winery near Seventh
and San Pedro streets turks a plan to
add the "jog" between Seventh and San
Julian streets west to the river and
north to Ninth street to the zone dis

When some of the councilmen start
ed to examine the map on the walls of
the council chamber yesterday they
concluded the Jog" was little empire

However, they instructed the city
attorney to bring in an ordinance look

signatures of property owners on the
Eureka petition and then report next

that instructing the city attorney did
not by any means stamp approval on

In Seventh Ward
Councilman Henry Lyon. in whose
ward the territory lies, explained that
he simply presented the views of one
thousand petitioners when he laid the
paper he held before the council ask
ing that the winery be excepted from
the provisions. He said that the pe-
tition stated the Eureka place was IN

mostly by foreigners who were accus-

Councilman A. ]. Wallace imme-
diately took up the cudgels of the anti
liquor element, saying 1t was an insult
to the intelligence of the council to
ask 1t to undo what by unanimous
vote 1t decided q week ago in restrict

He regarded this move as simply
another effort to enlarge the number

Councilman Lyon said that all prop

DECLINE TO INTERFERE IN

Councilmen Wallace and Yonkin
have both declined to interfere in the
amended street naming program sug-
gested by City Engineer Homer Ham

1t is now proposed to change num-
ber of additional names of streets In
the southwestern territory, but So
many clashes have resulted that the
councilmen say they will have nothing

APPEAR FOR EXAMINATION.

Just how bad the smash was when
Frank p. GLACIER failed last year was
only fully realized when the report OF
the Security Trust Co. as receiver was
made in meeting OF Glaciers cred
itors Monday afternoon Attorney
Mcneil stated that all OF the real es'
tate, excepting the heavily mortgaged
Blodgett Terrace and Ann Arbor Of

and that Mrs. Glazier has a one-third
interest In this.
1t will take $4,000 to complete the
office building and 1t Is expected that
the creditors will then receive about
S25, 900 net after deducting mechanics
liens and the cost OF completion. The
Blodgett Terrace Is worth about $780,.
900 to 100000, but there is legal

sonally or by attorney in the creditors
meeting, 1t being explained that his

That an endeavor will be made to

agitation for which was begun by The

opinion among the aldermen and

have the project in hand.

FEDERAL CONTROL
OVER D. j. R. LINES
IS CLAIMED
FACT THAT THEY HANDLE FOR
EI0N FREIGHT AND EXPRESS
BRINGS THEM UNDER COM.
MERGE COMMISSION RULES.

The Detroit United Railway has
been taken under the jurisdiction Oh
the United States interstate COM
merce commission.
Information TO this effect has just
reached the officers of the ID. u. r.,
and the consequences of the latest
ruling OF the commission are just be-
ginning to be figured now.
1t Is through the handling of inter-
state and foreign freight and express
that the d. U. r. lines are held to be
under federal supervision. The par
ticular ruling on which the matter
rests Is made with regard to the De-
troit, Jackson and Chicago lines. which
runs from this city to Jackson.
Recently a request was received for
the filing OF freight tariffs and the
giving of other information required
by interstate roads. General Manager
Brooks demurred. stating his belief
that the interstate commerce commits
sion has no Jurisdiction over a line
which Is entirely within the state OF
Michigan. A reply was received from
the commission, stating that the fact
that foreign and interstate freight Is
handled by the d., J. & c. makes 1t an
interstate road.
The same circumstances which az
feet the Jackson line apply TO all SUI
burban lines owned by the ID. u. X.
All these freight lines run over the
tracks of the ID. U. X. In the city OF
Detroit and handle their freight with
in the city.
In this way, the main trunk lines
Of the city are part OF big interstate
system and the rulings of the inter
state commerce commission apply 10
them to some extent, at least.
One effect of the decision will be
that the u. II. X. will have TO file
freight tariffs in Washington and Will
be unable to make changes OF rates
on any freight that might be inter
state without first giving the notice re-
quired under the federal laws.
The giving OF passes will also be cut
down. Under the laws governing the
Michigan state railway commission,
regulations rather less strict than
those enforced by the government are
In use. Passes are given where per-
sons are connected with the road, and
advertising is traded on basis OF
mutual credits TOT trdhSpol to'ioh'
The latest circular OF the Interstate
commerce commission says that pass
es may be given only when persons
are actually in the service OF the
carrier and devote Substantially all
their time to the work or business or
such carriers"
Another section says: Nothing but
money can be lawfully received or ac-
cepted In payment for transporta-
ton. subject to the act. whether OF
passengers or property or for any
service in connection Herewith.
