Had-Goes to New York
Next

NJ H Sexton has returned from San

ing of the National Association of Pro
fessional Baseball Leagues, of which
he is president. MT Sexton goes to
New York early mex month TO attend
q meeting of the National Baseball
commission. Mr.. Sexton is enthusiast
tic in discussion of the good times he
and the others who went TO San An
tonic had on their trip. san Antonio
certainly did itself proud" said Mr..
Sexton, and il was one continued
round of fun from the time we landed
until We left. Mr.. Casteel went from
San Antonio TO Galveston, and thence
TO New Orleans, where he attends the
convention of the National Bankers
association, and will go from there to
Panama, in all probability. Mr.. Carse
went from San Antouic to Waco, Tex
as, for a visit before returning. Mr..
Tighe, I understand, has already reach
ed home. Mr.. Lane Of Davenport came
home with me. We regretted much
that Mr.. McHugh of Chicago was IN
able to accompany US. but a business
engagement in New York prevented.
The biggest and indeed the most
enjoyable event We had in San Anto-
Mo was that given by the press club.
1t was a beefsteak dinner and badger
fight, and it certainly was some occa-
sion. The reception We had at Austin.
where the governor of Texas did the
honors, and which included a barbecue.

ROUTES OF CARRIERS
MADE MORE EQUAL
Postmaster Mcdonald RedistTiCts
the City and Equalizes the
Delivery of Mail.

Postmaster II. A. J. Mcdonald an
nounced today that he has effected
a redistricting of the routes of the
mail carriers in the city and that
the service has accordingly been i'm
proved. Experience showed that
some of the carriers had more ter
ritory to cover than they could
properly take care Of while others
found it an easy matter to get over
their route in the time allowed. Ac-
cordingly Postmaster Mcdonald has
rearranged the routes taking terri
tory of some and adding to others.
AS they now are they appear to be
equalized and the service will be
better.

The Moline football enthusiast has
told Commissioner Archie Hart OF

With these statements in his pos

evidence to refute the testimony Of
the women who heard the harsh Ian

corting DR.. BeaI from the field. Some

maintained remarkable self control to
refrain from striking him. Till he is
absolutely certain of all the facts, Com
missioner Hart will not take action.
When he does, it viii be final. He
does not want the record of his Off
