THE BOAST OF HERALDRY

Richard Harding Davis, at play
wright's dinner in New York, ridiculed
the pretensions of certain snobbish
American families to be descended
from Charlemagne, William the Con-
oueror, Richard Occur de Leon and so
forth.
"You see," said Mr., Davis, proofs
of such descent are very easily OBJ
tanned. A herald, suitably remuner-
ated, will trace a man back to the
pre-Adamite kings, just leaving a
Slight gap to indicate, you know, the
flood.
"Once a millionaire trust president
went to a herald for coat of arms.
He knew none of his ancestors, nor
had he any means of tracing them.
"'Oh, We'll arrive at something yet,
the undiscouraged herald said. Tell
me now, If you have ever performed
any signal or heroic feat on your own
account|
"'Well,' said the millionaire, I was

the bars of a fourth-story window.

LEAGUE IS OPPOSED
TO SYNDICATE BALL
National Directors Adopt Resolution
and Make Few Changes
in the Constitu-
tion

NEW YORK, Feb. ia sparsely at
tended meeting of the National league
directors put itself on record tonight as
opposed to syndicate baseball and made
some minor changes in the league con-
stitution.
The resolution of disapproval reads:
Resolved, That the league is op-
posed to what is dominated as syndi-
cate baseball, and it will not permit a
dual ownership, where one club owns
sr controls another club in this
league"
Owing to this phraseology observers
pointed out that the resolution does
not prohibit any club owner from hold
ing 49 per cent of the stock in one club
and 81 per ent stok in another club.
In short the same owner might be
stockholder in every club and nom-
nally control only one.
Changes in the constitution follow:
I One-That umpireS who default their
assignments shall be fined one days
pay instead of $12 as previously.
Two-That a postponed game need
not be played off on the grounds where
postponement was made, but If such
is not done sit must be played on
on the opposing clubs grounds"
Three-That the schedule meeting
shall be annually in New York on
such a date in February as the presi-
dent of the league may decide. Ten
days notice shall be given to each
club.
President Lynch was authorized to
confer with President Johnson of the
American league to devise a new
method of adopting playing schedules,
which shall do away with such dead
locks as happened this week.

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 19.-The South
west team OF Los Angeles, composed
entirely of members of the Weiss fam
lily, today defeated the Hermosillo
team of Mexico In a brilliant exhibit
tion Of polo. The final score was to
8 in favor OF the Angelenos. The thor
oughbred mounts of the Hermosillo
team were hung up for inspection at
the national boundary line and as a
result the team went in handicapped
with such ponies as could be procured
here. The play was punched for the
greater part of the game and few spec
tacular runs were made.
The team play of the Weiss boys is
highly perfected and when the team
meets at Coronado on Washington S

Mackey cup a contest of exceptional
interest is promised.

coRRIN BEING REPAIRED

In the last races held at Ascot park
one of the surprises of the events was
the work of the little Seeley ignition
exhibition car of Corbin manufacture,
which turned the track in 5S 2-5 sec
onds. The best the car had ever done
before on that track was 1902, and the
manner in which Al Livingstone made
the turns established the fact that on
the Pacific coast there is no car that
can touch the racing Corbin, when it
Is under the skillful driving Of the dar-
ing Livingstone. But just wait until
the next meet and see what this little
SO-horsepower wonder will do. A new
motor Is being installed, and when the
Corbin goes to the track it will take
some mighty fast driving to even see
the rear wheels of the little machine
which has astonished all who have
watched the car perform.
