County politicians are beginning now
to settle down and survey the field
with a view to readjusting themselves
to the changed conditions that will
prevail after the first Monday in Jan
uary, although just what these
changed conditions will be none seem
to be certain of. Of late there has
been a close scanning of the clauses
of the Municipal Act dealing with the
relative powers of the Mayor and the
Supervisors and the different veto pow
ers possessed by each branch of the
county government. 1t is stated that
the Democratic labOrers are confident
Of Mayor-eleet Fern power to give
them all the Jobs that are to be on

as the men who will hold down the
positions on the team this season: Who
will play first base is yet undecided.
Diffendall. the star football player and

for the honor. The men decided on by
the coach are: Batteries, Pritchard and
Austin; second base. Ives; third base,
Kenna; outtield. Cooper, Billups and
Funua; shortstop, L. S. Shepard.
The Tech battery this season is bet
ter than for years. Pritchard pitched
the entire game Wednesday, and in the
first five innings the leaguers failed to
make a hit off him. The latter put
five men In the box during the game
and three men behind the hat. Austin,
