The Flower primary bill. which pro

session refused 60 concur in the
amendments made by the senate. The
principal change provided that circuit
Judges be placed under the old con-

the primary law. At the eleventh hour
a conference committee of the two

bowed to the will Of the lower house,
with the result that the circuit judges
were left in the list of those officers
chosen under the primary system and
the house then adopted the remaining
amendments, which were of a trivial

AS a special attraction at the Crown

Mr.. Stevens when a cub weighing on

to remain the same when the season
opens this spring.
At the meeting of the Independence
League last night surprise was sprung
when a representative OF that club ap-
peared and claimed that his organization
had no intention of dropping out of the
circuit. Government Printing Office and
the Shamrock Athletic Club stood ready
to take the franchise had not the for
mer pennant winners had man present
at the meeting to claim his rights. Mr.
Sullivan, who represented the IWlnlng
team, stated that not only would his club
hold it's franchise but that it would be
back in the race again with an even bet
ter combination Of ball players than 1t
had last year.
To fill the vacancy in the position of
vice president the name of Pop Meyers,
who is one of the most enthusiastic
bowling leaders in the city, was proposed
and he was elected without a dissenting
vote. He succeeds Mr.. Bond of the
Twining club who resigned the position
at the same time he relinquished his hold
on the Twining club to go west.

When the Commercial League officials
meet tonight there is hardly any doubt
whatever that they will elect Charles
Graf as the president of that organiza-
ton for the coming year. While nothing
has been given out officially, it is stated
confidently by his many friends that
his election is practically assured.
At the last meeting of the league the
position Of the chief executive was de-
clared vacant, owing to the fact that
he had failed to attend to it's duties in a
manner deemed consistent by the board
of managers. 1t was decided at the same
meeting to wait until this week before
another should be elected to fill the va
cancy. And while there were no official
nominations at the last meeting, the mat
ter was informally talked over by the
managers Of the teams composing the
league and it was practically decided to
vote unanimously for Mr.. Graf. Five Of
the managers were present and each sig
nified that he was favorably impressed
with the mentioned man for the pres;-
dency, and there seems no doubt that he
will fill the chair of the leader of the
business mems circuit after the election
tonight.
Mr.. Graf is not new to base ball, by
any means. having had considerable ex-
per1ence as a manager. 1t was he who
piloted the pennant-winning nine last
year In the organization which he is to
lead this season. At present Mr. Graf
Is employed at the government printing

give to the affairs of his league That
under his guidance the Commercial
League is due to have the most success
full season in it's history is the prediction
OF those who are acquainted with the sit
uatiOn.
Besides the business of electing a presi-
dent several other affairs will be taken
up. chief among them the adoption Of
schedule. While list Of games has been
published once or twice, 1T was not au-
thentic, and has not been officially ap-
proved AZ yet. Reports of the committee
on the grounds will be received, and it is
thought that after the meeting tonight
everything will be in shipshape to start
the season.

aid, is not the Kane who played with

gone out that he is. but it is an erroneous
one. The two names are spelled differ
emily. and there is no connection between
the two men. BILLY" Keane. who will
be seen with the Interstate team. is the
old Capital City League and Brentwood
land in the Georges Creek League. and
did good work up among the coal miners.
Last year he was one of the best men in
the Capital City circuit. both with the
stick and in the field. The Interstate
team could not have secured better man
in the city to play an outfield position
than the northumberland man. He will
also probably be seen with the Cornell
Company again, in the Capital City
League.
The adverse weather conditions put a
quietus on all base ball games scheduled
for yesterday. Three of the high schools
and one college were compelled to aband-
on contests which had been scheduled by
them.
So far the Post Office team in the De-
partmental League has failed to recruit
its prospects by securing a single player
besides those il had last year, but that
it will be long inactive in regard to the
matter is not believed. Last season, al
though it did not finish in the money, the
team was without doubt one of the best
in the league and compared we'll with
any in the city. 1t would probably have
made just as good a showing as did the
Commissioners, the pennant winners in
that circuit in the post-seasOn series.
Two pitchers who did good work for
the nine last year will again do the box
honors and should be able to hold their
own against any Of the teams in that
circuit The men referred to are Jimmy
Kerr and Ferguson. The former .has
plenty of steam and did good work in
both the Departmental and Capital City
Leagues last year. The latter won the
only game lost by the Commissioners last
season out of the last eight played dur
ing the regular league season. One Or
two good men to bolster up the team
should place it in good way to come
near annexing the championship of the
clerks circuit.
If the Interstate team is not one Of
the best in the city this year it will be
through no fault of the manager of that
club Right off the reel, he seems to be
corraliinG some of the best material in
the city. The latest acquisition to his

The selection of John Henry as the

On form McAleer should have a ball
