broken his silence.
For the first time since he left here.
following the American League meet

day letting the fans of this city in on
the secret fthe plans for next spring.
There has been no end of talk because
of the failure of McAleer to serve up

Ferguson in a twelve-round bout at
the Armory "A. A., the best that Danny
Flynn got was draw.
1t is doubtful IL Flynn ever showed to
better advantage. Ferguson, for the
first three rounds, made what could be
called half decent showing, but there
after he found Flynn to be most elu-
sive boxer and failed to connect with a
blow. Ferguson resorted to his usual
unfair tactics when he realized that he
was being outpointed. Flynn, however,
gave him all he wanted of this style of
boxing. At one time in a mixup Fer
guson wrestled Flynn to the floor.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY 81.
IN WORLD OF BASEBALL

According to prominent baseball men
in Chicago-and among them are Ban
Johnson, Charley Comiskey, and Char
ley Murphy-the national pastime lost the
greatest ball fan in the country with
the demise of Fire Chief James Horan
in the stock yards fire in the Windy
City last week. Horan loved the game
so much that he followed the two Chi
cago teams to other cities in order to
watch them play.
Bob Emslie,; the dean of National
League umpires, has not yet heard
from headquarters about his reported
retirement and pension. Emslle is the
oldest indicator handler in the business,
having seen calling decisions for the
past twenty-four years.
Jack Warner, the old catcher who
was with the New York Giants for a
year. and later with the Washington
Senators, has had hard luck since he
embarked in the minor league game
Jack bought into the Galveston. Tex,
club and lost there. He then invested
in the Ringhamton, n. Y, club and lost
everything he had left, because Gov
ernor Hughes put an end to Sunday
playing. He is looking for a position as
an umpire.
Jack Hendricks, manager of the Den
yer team, of the Western Leage, is look
ing for third baseman for the Grizzlies
for next season.
One plant for the Red Sox and the
Doves has been suggested again. The
Roston clubs have had parks side by
side, and 1t looked like a waste of money
and space to have them using up so
nruch valuable space so near the heart
Of the city.
Pittsburg has purchased Walter Nagel,
southpaw with the Los Angeles team
of the Pacific Coast League. Washing
ton put in draft for him, but was
unsuccessful.

Connie Mack has signed a coming

Another Clever Jockey
To Ride for Foreigner

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. A.
Another star Jockey will be lost to the
American turf, for Butwell has signed
a contract to ride Baron Lazeroff' s
racers in Russia.
ButwelI receives a retaining fee cf
$500 a month, with $25 for each winning
and SO for each losing mount, providing
he never allows his weight to exceed
40 pounds. Butwell was the star OF
James R. Keene's stable, but was set
down for "sassing'' the Jockey Club Of
icials when called to time for pulling
up Hilarious In the Carlton Stakes at
Gravesend in 1909. Later he rode Sweep
to victory in the Futurity.

WASHINGTON CLUB
CONTINUES POLICY
Same Set of Officers Will Control Affairs of Nationals
This Scheme Giving McAleer Entire Charge
Meets With Approval.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Fogel, of the Philadelphia Nationals. ac-
cused OF being connected with the same
Clique, Washington Is blessed by the
solidity of those whose money is invest
ed in the Nationals and National Park.
The personnel of the stockholders Of
the Washington club is representative
Of the best business me1 of this city
and such petty grumbling as has marred
the sport In other places. Is not likely
TO overtake those who, hold the fran
cbise In the Capital.
1t Is a matter of but a few years
since National Park was invaded by
deputies with attachments for the re-
ceipts to be applied to a fund to pay for
the stands, but oNce the smooth work of
Ban johnson had wiped out this mess
the stock was sold to. those who, since
that time, have kept matters moving
most smoothly-even though unsuccess
full In gathering together team, worthy
Of the sacrifices Of the present owners.
When the site of National Park was
purchased year ago. II really marked
the closing chapter OF the invasion Of
Washington by the American League,
and the future Is now secure.
While the average fan believes the
Washington club is little less than a
mint, pouring into the pockets of the
happy stockholders dollars by the thou
sands, the fact Of the matter is that
the purchase OF the valuable property
on which National Park Is built, was a
mighty drain. So great was the outlay
required for this transaction. that IL has
been impossible to set an exact date
for the beginning OF work of building
the modern plant to take the place Of
the present comparatively antiquated
park.
The salary list of the Nationals Is ad-
mitted in other places to be consider
ably larger than several other clubs.
while McAleer Is one of the best paid
managers in baseball. All Of this means
wiping of dividends, but the stock
holders have stood the losses in the
hope that thew will reach the height of
their aspiration in a baseball way, a
winning team.
With the holidays over, the whole
baseball public is now turning its at
tention to ApriI u.

IN LEAD
SINCE BIG VICTORY
Business High Quintet Com,
pletely Outclassed by
Speedy Rivals.

Eastern is today in the lead in the
interhigh school basketball race, having
won the opening game of the series
from Business yesterday in the Rhode
Island gymnasium by 30 to s.
The best work of the losers was
shortly after the start, but once the
Capitol Hill quint got in its stride they
romped away and won without diff

McCaffery and Shore were playing an
excellent game for their respective
teams until they were ruled off by
Referee Hudson, and the individual
honors for the afternoon went to

Is evidenced by the career of Carl Nor

citizens Of Sapulpa are preparing to give

Cannot Punish Players.

The latest report to emanate from Gin
cinnati, home of the National Commits
sion. is to the effect that several club
owners are preparing to deal harshly
with their players who signed the ten
tative contractssoffered by D. A. Fletch-
er, the promoter of the projected third
league.
This would be a fatal mistake Nearly
a hundred of the best players in the
two major organizations signed these
contracts. and should they decide to
act toward the magnates as the mag
mates are reported to be considering
acting toward the players, II would be
a sad blow to baseball. Besides. any
punishment meted out to the players
will show its effects in the work of the
men on the field, and there would be
nothing gained by such a procedure.
The magnates should forget the rela-
tions between their stars and the pro-
moters, and If they are fearful of rep
etitions of such situations as arose
shortly after the close of last season,
should frame their new contracts so as
protection will be afforded.

The hue and cry Of the fans for new
PLAYERS of recognized ability, and the
answer of the manager that they cannot
be obtained, is in no manner limited to
either Washington or the major leagues.
Managers of practically all clubs that
finished below the 500 mark are scout
ing the country for material, but with
but little success.
The latest 10 give it up In disgust is
will entertain the Nationals during the
month of March. This Is what he tells
the Georgia newspaper men:
You can't buy players for gold or
jewelry," says the local manager. who
has just blown back from a scouting
trip in Pittsburg and New York.
You waste your time talking to these
chaps about buying their players for
early spring delivery. The 'thirty-five
man limit did the business. These
moguls have been forced to cut down
verv close to the limit by this rule that
forbids them to carry more than thirty
five men through the winter. So they
are going to take all thirty-flve South
for the spring training. Every man will
be looked over. OF couIse, each club
mas 10 drop to the playing limit later on,
so they will have to ship some of their
men overheard. That's wheBe Atlanta

The destinies OF the Washington ball
club will be directed during the coming
season by the same set Of men as con-
Quoted affairs last year.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the club was held yesterday
at the Colorado building, and as EVIL
dence of confidence in the judgment OF
the men who ruled last year, and as a
token OF appreciation for the work OF
the officers whose terms had expired,
those financially interested In the team
reelected the whole ticket.
Thomas c. Noyes remains as presi-
dent. while the other officers are Ed
ward J. Walsh. vice president; Benja-
min 8. Minor. secretary; and Harry
Rapley, treasurer These officers, to-
gether with Henry P. Blair and J. Mil
Ter Kenyon. will constitute the board OF
directors.
After routine reports had been read
the stockholders unanimously approved
the plan of the directors to leave the
whole managerial control to Jimmy
McAleer The manager will have su-
preme charge of the players and his
decisions will be final on all questions
on the releasing, trading. and purchas-
Ing Of material for the club.
1t was decided that the time is not
yet ripe for beginning the work of re-

Aker for School Supt.

In this issue will be found the
announcement of school superin-
tendent, J. w. Aker, to succeed
himself. Mr.. Aker has held the
office one year and is entitled to
another term, as the past election
was for only a piece of a term.
Supt. Aker is a worker for the
schools and while he may have
made mistakes he has done so
with good intentions. He has a
family and though handicapped
by being deprived of two of his
limbs, yet, he is a hustler and
manages to do more than many a
man with all his faculties, on
two good legs and with two
hands. He is just now getting
his work systematized and is in a
position to do more for the schools
lin the next few months than
could be done in the past year.
The county being new, having to
be organized and take everything
in consideration Mr.. Aker has
been eminently successful in his
official capacity.

Await For Road Su pit.

In this issue, in the column of
announcements, will be found
the candidacy Of Mr.. S. F. Await,
the present efficient Superinten-
dent of Roads, for the Democrat
nomination to succeed himself.
Mr.. Await went into office last
January under most unfavorable
circumstances. When elected
to the office he, as well as others,
thought the office paid $500 per
annum, out Lo and behold, the
Board of Supervisors cut the
salary to just one-half that
amount or $75 per month. Later
came an order of the Board
stopping all road work. So it has
been enough to dishearten a man
to say least of it.
Mr.. Await has now held the
office about nine months during
that time he has had the floods
to contend with and many other
disadvantages. He believes that
he should be re-nominated by his
party and that he feels confident
that the bulk of the votes will
give him another term.
Thus far no one has entered
the race against him which,
perhaps, shows that the office is
conceded to rightfully go to him
for another term. His head and
heart are for good roads and his
honesty has never been question
ed. Carefully consider his claims.
He will thank you for anything
you may do or say for him.

No Convention
Says Chairman Dillon

In reply to suggestions made
in various parts of the Territory
that a meeting of the Territorial
Democratic Central Committee
be called, or that the Commit
tee call Territorial Democratic
Convention, to promulgate a
platform for Democratic Candi-
dates, it is fittingt hat the attent-
ion of the Democrats of Arizona
should be called to the fact that
such action would be contrary to
the letter and the spirit of the
Arizona Direct Primary Law.
This Direct Primary Law, toge-
ther with the amendments made
to it by Election Ordinance 2 will
govern the approaching Prima-
ries. It is a Democratic measure,
demanded by the last Territorial
Democratic Platform and enact
ed by a Democratic Legislature.
1t keeps the pledge of the Dem
ocratic Party to the People of
Arizona that future nomination
and the drafting of Platforms
shall be under the Direct Pri-
mary System as formulated in
our Arizona Law. Every Candi-
date is expected to make his
campaign for a nomination on
his own platform. After the no
limitations are made in the pri-
mary, the successful candidates
meet with the party committee
elected,in the same primary in
what is designated in the law as
the Party Council.
This freshly chosen Party
Council makes the Party plat
form. To attempt to forestal
this Party Council by Convention
or Central Committee action ir
advance of the Primary Woulc
be a plain Reputation of the
policy of the Democratic Party tx
keep to the letter the pledges i
has made to the people of Ari
zona to enact sound progressive
legislation and live up to it.
The demand for Direct Pri
mary law was demand to aband
on the Convention system of max
, ing Platforms and nominations
: and in favor of the Direct Pri
mary System of doing both.
Having enacted the Direct Pri
mary Law the Democratic Part
should not violate either the lette
or the intent of that Law. There
