The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1910-07-06

Secretary of the Navy Meyer is in
favor OF selling all the obsolete war
ships OF the navy. At his direction,
the general board of the navy has
completed a survey of all vessels to
determine IL any of them can proper
ly be sold. This report has not yet
been made public. The gunboat De-
troit, for instance, has been out of
commission for several years because
she is too expensive to run. When
the general board makes public its
report Secretary Meyer intends to
take the matter up with congress. 1t
Is too late to have the matter settled
at this session. but 1t is one that Is
sure to be put up to congress next
December. Legislation will, OF course,
be necessary for the sale OF any navy
vessels. In discussing this subject
Secretary Meyer said:
Il believe 1t would be great saw
ing OF money II congress would au-
thorize the sale of a great many Of
our small vessels, yachts. cruisers.
etc. I find that the expenditure of
the appropriation for repairs which
was made last year will show that a
very small proportion goes for battle
ships and first class cruisers, and that
an enormous proportion goes for tugs.
yachts and small cruisers, etc.
1T seems to me-" Mr.. Meyer con-
cluded, that 1t would be wise for
the department to have sales of ves-
sells such as England had a few years
ago, when she courageously con.
demned lot of ships. 1t is like a
man who has the courage to go into
his own park and cut out a good mum
Der Of trees in order that the remain
der can develop. We must show
some courage in approaching this
question and condemn a lot Of riff
raft vessels on which we are lavish
ing money needlessly. l claim that
by means Of this inspection we shall
be able to give congress information
by which we can name a list Of YES
sells OF different types which should
be disposed Of"

Of the seventh round Cappelle was
leading on total points by wide m2f-
gin, through his great work in that
round. He jabbed OConnell in the
mouth and face at will and frequently
got over his right to the head with
good effect. Before the round was
fairly started he had drawn claret in
a stream from O'ConnelPs mouth.
The eighth round was the best of
the fight. O'Connell same to scratch
with a desperate rally that fully evened
the score for him. He used everything
in his repertoire and to good effect,
sending Cappelle to his corner at the
gong in very tired state as result
of a terrific lacing. O'Connell went
into the ninth round with a holdOver
rally on tap and beat aCppelle all over
the ring, showing great speed and most
effective punching. O'Connell kept up
a rapid fire of left hooks and right
uppercuts throughout the tenth, scor-
ing frequently and effectively, making
his title to the decision absolutely
clear and beyond doubt.
Willis came bouncing through the
ropes like a rubber ball in advance Of
Flynn after slight delay, accompanied
by their seconds. Flynn was seconded
by Roy Page, Abdul, Kid Snyder and
King Hogan, Willis was looked after
by Ben Smith, Will Carruthers, Pat

for corners and Flynn won, holding
the northeast corner. After introduce
tions and challenges the scrap was on.

Had He Been Selected, Chicago and

Clubs
Associated PressJ

MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 31.-"That all
chance of an invasion by the American
association of Chicago or Cleveland
passed with the defeat of j. D. O'Brien
for reelection as president, is the re-
port in baseball circles here. The
Milwaukee men are silent over the
beating they received at the annual
meeting, but privately they give evil
dence of a feeling which will mean
war between the eastern and western
clubs in the association.
Havenor of this city and the Twin
city magnates looked favorably upon
the plan. to invade Chicago, which
might involve dropping Kansas City.
Tebeau, on this account, was not en-
thusiastic over the invasion, which
went so far that Havenor already has
a site for ball park in Chicago.
President Chivington long before
his election was understood to be sure
of victory. And here is what is ac-
cepted in Milwaukee as the inside
story of the election:
Toledo and Columbus are allied by
the case of mutual ownership to a
major league club in Cleveland. The
Cleveland magnate, therefore, was in
the best position to prevent the Chi
cago invasion. Support of Chivington
follows. 1t is understood that in re-
turn for this favor and with Tebeau
the undenied ruler of the association,
there is not the slightest chance of
Havenor's being able to use his park
in Chicago or that an association club
will be located in Cleveland.

definite arrangements have been made'
Pishon and the directors have con-
ferred and both understand each other,
but the deal cannot be closed until mex.
month. Hogan wants a guarantee OF
a sufficient sum to net the expenses OF
making the trip and this probably Will
be forthcoming
In the event that the team goes to
Arizona it will play a series of games
with Arizona teams and also hook up
with the Kansas City club of the
American association and the Chicago
White Sox when these teams hit Ar1-
zona on their spring training trips.
The climate of Los Angeles and vi
cinity is ideal for spring training and
there is no necessity for the Vernons
to make the trip, but Hogan wants to
accommodate the Hassayampis If pos
sible and may take his club there in
March.
San Jose Not Unlikely
Hogan says it is not unlikely that he
will furnish the team that Will repre-
sent San Jose in the event that the
State league issues a franchise to that
city next Monday when the directors
meet. Hogan has promised to help out
the San Jose promoters to this extent
because it would be quite an advan-
tage to both his club and the San Jose
people. Hogan has a sufficient number
of men under contract to furnish a
crack team for San Jose and would
like to hold onto some of those whom
he will be unable to place on the
regular Vernon team at present. These
would be sent to San Jose, subject to
withdrawal at any time they are need
ed by Vernon, providing Hogan would
substitute another player.
All the Coast league clubs could
profit by lending a helping hand to
the State league teams and would be
committing no wrong. 1t is against the
rules of one league to make a farm"
organization out of another league, but

be so materially benefited without any
wrong being committed, there is no
good reason to urge against the plan.
Devereaux as Manager
Vernon is apt to be shy the SER
vices of "Brick" DevereauX at third
base next season, owing to the proba-
bilitv that he will be selected as man
ager of the Bakersfield team. Hogan
has promised to release all claims upon
Devereaux in the event that the man
agerial job is offered the funny telloW'
and as Brick will be hard to sub
stitute as manager, the Bakersfield rams
probably will call him to their fold.
DeyereauX will be entitled to his re-
lease anyway, owing to the agreement
whereby jumping players from either
league were to be returned to the club
from which they jumped. DeVereauX
did not Jump, but came to vernon from
Sacramento under an agreement that
makes it necessary for Hogan to re-
lease him any time the release is de-
sired.
Devereaux played great ball for the
Vernons, filling the territory around
third base like a major Lacquer, and
it will be difficult to fill his position.
He will be a playing manager at Ba-
kersfield and will be invaluable to his
team, Connie Mack has promised to
help Hogan to a third sacker from the
Youngsters he has drafted for the Ath-
letics and Frank Chance also has
promised Hogan that he will help him
get a good man for the position. Chance
has a large number of youngsters to
be tried out next spring and as he al
ways has shown the greatest friendship
for and interest in the success of the
local Coast league clubs there is little
to fear regarding the ability of the
man who will guard third for Vernon
next season.
Contracts were mailed yesterday to
fifteen players under reserve to the
Vernon club for next season and Ho1
gan expects to have all Of them on
file within ten days. -Four players
already had signed up, which means
that Hogan will have nineteen players
under contract before spring practice
is started Two or three others may
be added later. &
