NEW CHAMPION WINS
J. r. Anderson Takes Local
Golf Championship From
Fred Petit Saturday
.YULE WINS IN SECOND FLIGHT

James r. Anderson, the latest addi-
ton to the list of crack players of
the Kenosha Country Club made good
his claim to consideration as a great
golfer on Saturday afternoon when he
wrested the club championship from
Fred Petit in a sensational match end
ing with the victor four up and three
to play. Anderson IS victory came as
a surprise to the members of the club
as it was generally thought that Pet
tit would have an easy fight to retain
his honors as leader of the club. The
men played par golf in. the first round,
but in the second round the former
state champion was decidedly off his
game and this made the victory of An
derson a comparatively easy one. At
the eleventh hole the two players were
all square and then Anderson displayed
great burst of speed which coupled
with the poor play Of Petit made it,
possible for him to take the next four
holes and the match. The~match was
the main event of the afternoon on
the links and a large gallery followed
the two players.
W. L. Yule playing for the second
flight trophy defeated A. H. Lance in
easy fashion winning the match by a
score of eight III. seven to play. The
finals in the fight for the third flight
trophy were played on Wednesday
when DR.. Gardiner defeated r. K, Dorr
four up three to play.
The sports and games committee of
the club is in correspondence with a
number of other clubs and it is thought
possible that two team matches may
be arranged before the end of the
present season.

Avenue M. E. Church for the past four
months, left Kenosha Immediately af-
ter the closing session of the confer

where he will spend short vacation
before returning to his work in the
seminary at Evanston. Members Of

RACES A flzzLE
Only One Kenosha Horse Starts in Ra
cine Matinee at Racine Saturday

The racing matinee planned for Ra-
cine and Kenosha horses under the
auspices of the Racine Driving Club on
Saturday afternoon proved to be fz-
zle and less than fifty people attended
the races. Only one Kenosha horse
started and that was Peter Steinbach IS
horse and he finished second in his
race. The other Kenosha horsemen
found it impossible to get up to ,Ra-
cine and it is probable that another
racing meet will be arranged later in
order to give the Racine and Kenosha
steppers a chance to fight it out.

Witnesses Tell of the Cause of the Ac-
cident at Balm Station
Coroner Frank E. Andre held an in
quest over the remains of William
Starr killed in the collision at Balm at
the Hansen Undertaking parlors this
afternoon and the evidence produced
showed that the cause of the acei4
dent was. an open switch. The train
men could not place the blame for the.
accident declaring that it was always
the rule for the man in charge of "a
tram opening a switch to close it.
The evidence showed that the switch
was not lock-switch and it might
have been turned by any one who
might have gone along the tracks. All
of the members of the crew testified
to the fact that the switch was open
and it is probable that an investiga-
ton will now. be made to have the
proper person apprehended for leaving
the switch open. The jury returned
a verdict in keeping with the evidence

association. Of the eight requests, seven were granted by the national association. These organizations, with the Pacific Coast league, are hereafter to be in classification of their own to be known as "A.A.' They are to have the right to draft players from the Southern and Western leagues now in Class A, as well as from all the lower classes. All players drafted by major league clubs from the smaller leagues cannot be sent back to such leagues without first passing through the A leagues. The A leagues are to be permitted to draft territory from the minors under certain conditions and the number of players to be carried un- der reservation by major league clubs shall be limited.
 It was agreed that all internal affairs of the A. clubs shall be decided by themselves without reference to the pres ent national board and that all disputes between A clubs and other minor league clubs shall go first to the board of arbitration with right of appeal to the commission in every case. This makes it impossible for any dispute to be abso- lutely decided by the minor league board If 1t involves any class A. club. The national association was willing that these three organizations be placed in a sep arate organization as third party to the national agreement, but the commission would not grant this request.
 At a meeting of the American asso- citation it was decided to open the cham pionship season of that organization on Wednesday, April A. The season will ex- tend over five months and a half instead of five months as heretofore.

Cincinnati, January 6.--The three days session of the national baseball con- mission came to close here late this aft ernoon when the national association of minor leagues agreed to follow in the footsteps of the Class A. clubs and all low the commission to settle the differ ences between the two factions regard ing the territorial rights of the Eastern league and the American association. As soon as this conclusion was reached ev- cry difference that existed when the conference began on Monday morning had passed away. The complete report of the commission on the entire matter will be issued within the next few days.
 The commission also brought up the matter of price of tickets to the worlds championship games and fixed the maxi mum price at s2 and the minimum at 50 cents This does away with the s3 seats that were one of the features of the re- cent series.
 The commission also discussed the pos sble chance of bettering the conditions among the "outlaws" on the Pacific coast and after half hours confer ence with J. Cal Ewing Of the Pacific Coast league decided to postpone any action until the next commission meeting, February 16, at Chicago.
 The National Association of Minor Leagues held meeting today and after accepting the resignation of President P T. Powers and Director O'Brien, pres ident of the American association they elected M. H. Sexton of the Three I league to succeed Powers as president of the or ganization and pr. F. c. Carson, president of the Central league, as a director of the national association board to succeed O'Brien.
