MUNICIPAL CONVENTIONS
The Two Parties Unite and Renomi-. nate the Present Town Govern ment to Conduct Nogsles Affairs Another Term.

Pursuant to notice given accord ing to law by the Nogales town council, there were held under the auspices of the municipal govern ment last Saturday. in the lower hall in the Masonic Temple, pri- mary elections by the republican and democratic parties to select delegates to conventions called un- der the law governing municipal elections, to nominate candidates for the various municipal offices Seven delegates were to be selected to each convention, and there was but one ticket put forth at either primary, all the candidates on either ticket receiving all the votes cast except two on the republican ticket and one on the democratic Pablo Soto and Colonel Bird were the republicans who were accorded that distinction and honor, while Sheriff Harry J. Saxon was distin- guished as the recipient of the honor conferred on the democratic side of the house. Messrs. Soto and Saxon are wondering yet who scratched them; but there is no diagram required to demonstrate who scratched THE OASIS man.
 The delegates elected to the two conventions were as follows:
 DemOcrdtic: W. F. Overton, Geo. B. Marsh, H. E. Grace, Joseph Du- puy, B. NJ. Ashby, Harry J. Saxon, and Otto Herold.
 Republican: Bracey Curtis, Ra- mon Vasquez, H. K. Chenoweth, Allen T. Bird, Pablo Soto, Harry Tomlin, and D. k. Kelsey.
 The democratic convention or ganized by electing Mir. w. F. Overton, chairman, and Otto Her. old, secretary. The republicans elected Harry K. Chenoweth, chair man, and Allen T. Bird, secretary.
 As a result of petition signed by l50 (about two-thirds) of the qualified electors of the town of Nogales, that the present incum- bentS of the municipal offices be renomlnated, the two conventions had their work cut out for them in advance, and there was nothing to do but register the edict of the peo- pie as expressed in those petitions; although there was feeling in the republican convention that there ought to be more equabie dis trloutlon of the paying offices be- tween the two parties, and two of the delegates openly urged making place for John Clark in the mu- Mclpal roster. Failing in that they urged that there should be some arrangement by which the board, when reelected, should confer upon Judge Williams or Fred Noon the 'o"h attorneyship. But they were o'erruled by their associates, who insisted upon the convention stand Ing TOT renomination of the present u,Luhlclpal government as whole. " hen those matters had been !hFeShed out, there was arranged Jolhl caucus of the two conventions "nefeln 1t was agreed that each convention would renominate the present incnmbents in the munic- ,pai olhces, except that of superin- % %sonueht of streets, the duties of NlllCh office haua daroluod nnon

Acmes Win Two Out of Three Game from Amsterdams at Y. M.
 R. 0. Alleys.

The Oaks tottered before the forcibl blows of the Palms last night in thu entire three games paved at the R, R Y. M c. A. alleys.
 The first game was the closest of tht series, the Oaks managing to keep pac with the mighty Spruces until the laa few minutes of play. when they wealD ened and fell back slowly but surel, and lost by seven pins. In the second game the Spruces feeling that they hat not shown their superiority quite suf ficiently in the opening game of the se ries, started to slaughter their oppons ents. Schlegel. who led in the flrs game. continued the leadership in tht second and thus his team gradual, pulled away from the Oaks until wher the whistle blew they were several laps ahead.
 In the final contest Schlegel repeated his 1s9 score and again the Oaks wert felled. this time back of their opponent by 92 pins.
 The Palms repeated the Spruces' ac tion on the Oaks. but they were onlI able to capture two of the three games In the first of the series the Oaks rar far above their average and touched the 532 mark.
 In the second game the Palms slipped silently back into form and forced thu Oaks to drop exhausted. Tn the fina game of this series the Palms managed to get away with the game and the So. ries by twentyfour pins.

PLAY PROVIDENCE Nick" McGilvray's Roller Po- loists to Clash With Bone
 yards night. HART HOLDS HIS OWN Has Big Lead in Number of Goals Made-Lincoln by Far the Best
 Rush. Getter.

With unison reigning in the ranks of the New Haven roller polo team. the Boneyards now appear the strongest team in the National league, and is at least the strongest which has repre- sented the locals since the opening of the season. Bone feels confident that New Haven will slowly but surely wend it's way back through the line of Bank Wreckers into first place.
 Tonight Nick McGilvrays Grays will move their belongings to the Quinnipi- ac rink for one night stay and it is up to the local five to start the week with C victory. Hardy. who Is by fan the toughest player in the league, will be in the lineup tonight. but if he endeavors to try any funny pranks he will not receive any too gentle treat ment.
 The work of the Pawtucket team during the past four weeks has been of the kind that forces the fans of all shades of enthusiasm to wonder what the outcome will be If continued. In the last fifteen games the Tigers have won thirteen. Since the return of Dick Pierce to the quintet the gait travelled has been a fast as any team has shown fin the league this season. and but for the bad start and subsequent low standing, putting the team so far in the rear as to make first place beyond reach at this time, with but four weeks left of the season, the Pawtuckets might be a contender for the champion ship emblem.
 In the averages Hart holds his own as the premier goal getter, and Lincoln stil leads in rush taking. There is It, to doubt that both men will lead in these departments at the close of the season. They have a long lead and add 10 it in nearly every game. Fahey and Jean are tied for first honors in foul making. with wild Charlie Farrell close up. With the latter out of the game however, the New Haven team will get along with few fouls, as Saunders is tho only player of Bone's team who of- fends to any extent.
 The new make up of the New Havens has proven in the few games played to he a strong one. and possibly the best 1t has had this season. The averages fol- low.

CoNKLIN WINS SECOND GAME.
Defeats Gardner in National Amateur
 Billiard Tourney.

Chicago, March i6.-C. F. Conklin of Chicago, won the second game in the national amateur 14.2 balk line billiard tournament to-day, defeating F. W. Gardner of Passaic. N, J., by the score of 400 to 27i. Conklin's average was l3 and Gardner 8 229i.
 Conklin took the lead in his initial inning, when he made a run of 14i, and was never overtaken by Gardner. His stroke was excellent and most of his counts were made at close quarters, though when 1t became necessary to drive around the table for position, he usually landed the balls where he wanted them. On his l42d shot he was compelled to play a difficult two-cush- ion affair and he missed by a small margin. During the remainder of the game his average was low.
 Gardner's playing was mostly of the open table kind and in only two inn ings was he able to hold the balls to- gether for runs of any size. In the first he collected 40 and In the 23d, 51.

FRANK QUINBY TO COACH
Game Against New York University Saturday Will Probably be

 Tad Jones returned from Exeter yesterday morning and directed the work at the cage in the afternoon. In New York, Saturday, he made ar engagements with graduate coaches to come up during the week and get the team in shape for its first game Saturday.
 Dutch Carter will be up to-day or tomorrow and George Case is ex- pected some time during the week. Frank Quinby has also expressed his intention of coming up and showing the candidates few points.
 Captain Jones stated last night that he thought the game with New York university scheduled for next Saturday would be played.

The boys will turn out in full force and some good material ought to be de- veloped. Some of the graduate will be on hand to help the boys along. MT. Hackett will probably have charge of the squad, and under his guidance the fellows ought to do some good work.
 Some of the players are taking ad- vantage of the fact that there is not any indoor practice. and are practic- ing around their own homes, so as to be in trim for the first days practice. Some of the members of the basket ball team, who play baseball, will also be out for practice as soon as the team finishes its season.

NoYEs FRESHMAN COACH.
Cool Weather Shortens Practice of
 Yale Varsity on Harbor.

Bob Moves, Yale 1908, who was elected captain of the Yale crew sue ceeding Dick Morse after the race in June, 1906, but who because of ill., ness resigned at mld-season last year, has been appointed coach of the Yale freshman crew by Captain Charles E. Ide, his successor.
 Moves is a veteran oarsman and thoroughly understands the work so that the freshman are fortunate this year in having such coach. About fifty candidates have reported for pos itions in the freshman boat and the work of weeding the men out has been begun.
 The crews had their regular work on the harbor yesterday afternoon and owing to the coolness of the weather Captain 1de and Coach Ken nedy did not keep the men in the boats long. A brisk run after the row kept the men from catching cold.

YALE SOCCER TEAM.
Critic Says They Showed Lack of Knowledge and Want of Training.
Contributed

(Contributed.)
 The attempt by the Yale team to play association football at Yale field against Columbia, Saturday afternoon was. one miserable failure. Whether it was their coach who was to blame or the fact that they had no coach at all. We cannot say. but this we do know, that the whole team were sadly lacking in their knowledge of the game and how it should be play ed. That Yale has an abundance of men who would make ideal associa- ton football players no one can deny, but their work Saturday was sor- rowful exhibition. The forward ranks did not seem to have the slight est idea of how they should play, and seemed to be imbued with the idea that all that was necessary was to give the leather a kick when It came near them. Combination and pass ing is the only successful tactics for the forwards to pursue, in this game, if they would gain goals. They must learn to pass the ball from one to the other, and in this manner elude thelr opponents. They must be nimble of foot and quick of eye, in order to make successful forwards, and above all every man must be made to play his position and not run over the en- tire field, The duty of the halfbacks is to feed the forwards and prevent the opponents forwards from be- coming dangerous. The Yale half backs on Saturday were weak in this respect and also slow in footing the ball.
 The fullbacks are or should be pow erful kickers, their principal duty be- ing to keep the ball at their oppon- ents' goal The goal keepers ought to be tall and able to move With lightning rapidity in order to save his goal from downfall, Yale's goal tend CT seemed to be afraid of the ball In Saturdays game, had he been at all alert he might have held the score down to two and three goals at the most. Yale's captain should try out some new material before the game with Harvard Saturday. and take ev- cry precaution to prevent another D to 0 result.
