There is no question as to Mr.. Smiths
qualifications for the position. He
has had several years experience as q
bank director and will make an admir-
able official.
The leading candidate from the

ments. The members of the delegat-
ions expressed the friendlIest feel
ings for Mr.. Williams and they recog-
lnized the services he has rendered to
the party. But they believed that jus

that was taken.

trouble II certain big deal which has
been framed for several weeks goes
through. Frank Dehass Robinson is
trying to sell the st. Louis National
League club for $250.000 He already
has received an offer Of $4,000 from
the St. Louis sporting men, Celia,
Adler and TILES, who controlled the
racing game In the state OF Missouri
until Governor Folk succeeded In clos
ing the tracks there.
Robinson who never has made a sue
cess of the club since he took the fran
chise out OF Cleveland, has been will
ling to sell out for some time past but
Is holding out for $250,000.
The promoters have been thinking
the matter over and 1t was said today
that II Robinson would compromise
on 100000, the deal would go
l through.
But the mere sale of the club is
nothing compared to the probable out
come of such a deal. There Is any
amount OF opposition to the admis
sion OF Celia and Company, into the
baseball circle, particularly on the
part of the American League men. Il
is said. From the west comes state
ment that II the Robinsons sell out Il
the syndicate the relations between
the American and the Nationa
leagues will be quickly severed AM
| that a baseball war will be declares
| without delay. From the west ais
comes word that Garry Hermann

has been tipped of that the deal
about to go through and that he ha
notified the Robinsons that under n
! circumstances will the National Lee
