NO OFFICIAL DECISION
HAS BEEN REACHED, SAYS
CHAIRMAN HERMANN

CINCINNATI, March 2S-Garry
Hermann, chairman of the national
baseball commission, today refused to
discuss the statement of President
Johnson regarding the Killing case
mo decision has been reached Off
cially." he said, land the commission
will have nothing to announce on the
case for few days yet"
Monday of last week Chairman Herr
mann announced that after an ex-
change of views by mail and telegraph
the national commission had been I'M
consider the King case had been called
for Friday. On that day a long ses-
sion was held, Messrs. Johnson, Herr
mann and Lynch being present.
At it's close an announcement was
made that no decision had been
reached, but that further mail and
wire exchanges would be used in an
effort to perfect finding. The decis-
ion, it was said, would be given out
no later than Thursday of this week.
Since then no intimation has come
from the national commission head
quarters here that any change of pro-
gram had been decided upon, and Mr.
Herrmann's declaration of today is
taken to mean that the original plan
will be followed.
Members of the commission ex-
planned after Fridays meeting that a
pledge of secrecy had been exacted
from all concerned, and that nothing
authoritative would be forthcoming in
advance of the official PRONUNCIATION of
the decree.

Harvard President Emeritus Says the

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 2S.-Dr,
Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard university, who has been
one of the foremost agitators against
the game of football as it has been
played, is warm in his approval of the
suggested changes for the game on the
part of the football rules committee.
1T is plain to see that the rules are
marked improvements" he said to-
night. "They ought to make the game
tolerably safe. I say tolerably, be-
cause it is impossible to make football
absolutely safe for The play1s. These
new rues should make il possible for

PASADENA POLO
MEET ARRANGED
HERM0SILL0 AND CORONADO
TEAMS TO PLAY
INDIVIDUAL SILVER CUPS FOR
WINNING FOUR
Society Takes Great Interest in Conn
ing Event Which Is Believed
Will Have Great Effect on
Sport for Future
Associated Pressl


Polo, one of the recognized games
of high class sportsmen, both in Amer
lea and England, is to have it's premier
in Los Angeles county on Saturday,
when the two teams now playing at
Coronado beach will meet on Tourna-
ment field, Tournament park, Pasa-
dena. The competing teams are the
Coronado and the Hermosillo-as fine
as any now playing in the west, and
because OF their even playing the con-
tests should be both close and exciting.
The event is given under the aus
pices of the Pasadena Polo club, and
individual silver cups have been Sc
lected for the four members of the
winning team. These cups will shortly
be on display in Los Angeles.
Polo, while not a new game to
Southern California. is absolutely new
to this section. As one of the most
exciting sports in the world it affords
a spectacle which appeals both to
those who understand the fine points
and to those who merely witness the
play from the standpoint of spectators.
1t is undoubtedly the greatest game
played on horseback, and the wonder
full intelligence of the polo ponies is
not the least attractive feature of such
contests 1t has the advantage of
being game which can be viewed in
all its aspects easily from grand
stand and its fine points are numer-
GUS and its wonderful dashes inspiring.
Pasadena society people have taken
hold with interest, and while as yet the
club has not picked a polo team, sew
eral of the best local horsemen in the
club are practicing. and as the out
come of this meet it is practically GER
tain team Will soon be in the field
wearing local colors. Saturday after
noon will doubtless determine the
standing of the game in this section,
and clubdom from all over Los Angeles
and nearby counties will probably be
literally represented.

POLICE ARE FREED
FROM LOAN SHARKS
Commission Decides Members Of De-
partment Must Draw Own SAL
aries and Revoke Powers
of Attorney Issued

Following the example of the fire
commission and the city council, the
police commission last night adopted
a rule that all members of the police
department must draw their own SAL
aries and file revocations of any pow
ers of attorney they may have given
TO money lenders TO collect their SAL
aries.
This Is a move to release the police
from the control Of loan sharks. The
police department is probably more at
the mercy of these money lenders than
any other department in the city, and
large part of majority of the pa
trolmens salaries goes to pay inter-
est to these money lenders.
The plan worked so well in the fire
department that last month every
member of the department drew his
own salary for the first time in the
CitV's history

HfRM0SlLLO TEAM
DEFEATS CORONADO
Closing Game of Polo Tournament
Proves Great Surprise, and
Mexicans Take Consola-
ton Cup

SAN DIEGO, March 2S.-With the
Coronado team fighting desperately to
score a goal and tie the score, and
with their opponents and the Her
mosillo men working equally as hard
in defending their goal, the 1910 polo
tournament was terminated at 4:26
this afternoon with the Hermosillo
team the victors over Coronado by a
score of 3 to ., earned in a game that
was the largest surprise Of the tourna-
ment.
With the exception of good playing
by Maj Colin Ross, at back, the Coro-
nado four showed an entire reversal
of form that was a disappointment to
their followers. The Hermosillo team
played a fast game, the best one they
have played on the local field, and to
them now belongs the consolation cup
and the Junior championship.
The tournament was cut short two
days by the withdrawal of the South
west team.

T DDIE MAIER, the young and
H. handsome president of the YER
- non baseball club that will try
to beat the Angels out of the pennant
in the Coast league race this season,
entertained his team, fellow associates
in the club and the sporting press last
night at banquet in Steak hall at
the brewery. 1t was the most preten-
tious affair ever pulled off at the
brewery, where steak feeds have been
something of an oasis in the sporting
desert locally for the last four or five
years. and about sixty friends of the
Vernon team were crowded around
the long table. After the banquet and
the attendant orchestra had compiled
with all the requirements of the oc-
casion, oratory began to flow and with
Col. Jim Brooks as POSTMASTER and
Happy Hogan as CHIEF assistant,
speeches were required of, and made
by all those in attendance. Maier
gave the address of the evening ana
told his players that he expected them
to win the pennant, but failing in that,
he would be sadly disappointed If they
failed to beat out the Angels in the
race. Every member of the team re-
sponded to the challenge with a pledge
that he would fight it out to the last
ditch. And then, when everything had
been said and done, Maier made an
other speech and told his players that
the next big feed would be held in
the same place, with about the same
company only that the Angels and
their club officials would be the guests,
in celebration of the Vernon victory in
the pennant race. The banquet began
at 6 O'Clock and ended at 8 o'clock and
after it was all over, Eddie Maier was
willing to bet Hen Berry another $500
on the general result of the pennant
race.
Willie Hoppe, the boy wonder at
billiards, gave Ora Mornlngstar, former
balk line champion, a good beating
last night in their first nights play
at 1872 balk line exhibition series at
Morley's parlors. and they will wind
up the series tonight. Morningstar
must make COZ to 400 for Hoppe In or
der to win the match and while few
of those who saw them play last night
will believe it possible, it may be done.
Morningstar is a speedy player and II
| he ever gets off TO a good lead, ne
will beat any of them. 1t looks like
Hoppe had cinch, but with Morn
| ingstar fighting his best uphill game,
those who like to see good balk line
billiards will be given a treat tonight
in the final block of 400 points that
these world experts will play.

SARATOGA TO HAVE
FINE RACE PROGRAM
Twenty-Three Stakes Will Be Decided
During Summer Meet, the Total
for August Being
100000

NEW YORK, March 2S-Twenty-
three stakes to be decided this summer
at Saratoga will close today at the
offices of the Saratoga association here.
The stakes have gross value of nearly
$4,000 each. With other races and events
which closed last summer and fall, they
constitute the best program offered
by an eastern race track for 1910.
Altogether the horses at the Springs
next August will run for a total of
about 100000. To the followers of the
sport this reads like olden times.
Whether the coming meeting yields
profit or not all obligations will be
met promptly without cost to the mem
bers, for Saratoga has sinking fund
established and maintained in fat
times with a view to such a contin-
gency as that which confronts racing
this season.

comment on Ban Johnsons remarks.
Baseball men in New York regard

Furthermore, it is not quite clear
why Johnson's name should have been

chances of Langford to beat Johnson
than they would get in a real fight
with the average scrapper opposed to
the Boston blackbird. Bob Armstrong
is about the same build of a fighter
that Johnson appears to be and he is
a clever boxer, as well as hard
puncher. While they will not 90 in
for a knockout, they will slam one
another to a round turn and with Arm
strong towering above the Bostonian
by several inches, it should be a fine
exhibition.
Hen Berry is staying close to home
these days, being afraid to venture
forth and talk baseball since Eddie
Maier and Hap Hogan started on the
warpath. Hen is staying close to bust
ness, figuring on how to take that
first series of games away from the
VernonS in order TO keep his big
laugh in working order That first
series, which will bring the two local
Coast league teams together in real
diamond battle for the first time since
the Villagers were reorganized. will
give the fans the best line possible on
the relative merits of the two teams
in the pennant chase. Hen intends
to win it if possible and Maier is just
as strong for putting the kibosh onto
the Angel band. There will be a lot
of fun when the deciding game is
played.
George Blake has gone to New York
and Art Reynolds has been appointed
official preliminary referee of the Pa
cific Athletic club in his place. Rey-
nolds knows the game as well as any
body and should give full satisfac-
ton, which he undoubtedly will do.
At the baseball banquet last night
several new orators of exceptional
ability were heard. Among them were
L. L. Harding, Tom Roberts and Otto
Schons. These fellows have been in
practice for a long time and ran up
to expectations in spreading the Bull
Durham onto their timely remarks
Eddie Maier certainly has aggregated
as classy a bunch of orators as he
has in the baseball line.
There is quite a sprinkling of Ken
lucky colonelcy in the Vernon makeup.
There is a Breckenridge and a Car
lisle, as we'll as a Lindsay, and the
heart of Col. Jim Brooks certainly
warns every time he gets a chance
to talk about the efficiency of the Ken
lucky outfit. Brooks was instrument
tai in getting these Kentuckians on
the Vernon team and is proud of it,
while the fans undoubtedly will share
his good opinion before the season is
