EASTERN LEAGUE
MAGNATES DOWN
TO WORK EARLY
Indie a atoms Are That Matters of Importance
in Big Minor League Will Be
Transacted with Dispatch.
Mr.. SOLOMON, NEW OWNER OF
TIGERS, HELPING MGINNITY

There will be enough baseball dope
for the next few days to feed all of the
famished fans. New York today is
swarming with baseball disnitarles,
from the august Ban Johnson down to
the bush league manager out to grab
the crumbs tina fall from the big fell
lows hands. OF most import locally is
the Eastern League meeting at the Ho-
tel Victoria today. The Eastern
League solons gather to select or rather
reflect their president n perform
other things necessary to the welfare
Of the league.
lie Ed Barrow were as sure of most
things as he is of being chosen TO sue
coed himself he would be a very con-
tent and happy man. There has been
a boom TO increase Eds term to five
wears. After talking with some of the
magnates who had already gathered In
New York last night one was little the
wiser as to what course would be
adopted, but it is very doubtful fiBar-
row will get his fiVe-year term. Some
Of the kind-hearted moguls. whose privl-
lego 1t is to vote for the president, would
like to make such a Christmas present
to their leader, but there are others no
so willing. From present indications
the best Ed will get is a two-year term
Arrivals.
Among the arrivals yesterday in New
York were Sol Lichtenhein, president oil
the Montreal Club; John Dunn, presi-
dent of the Baltimore Club; John Can
eel, manager of the Rochester CLUB;
George Stallings, manager Of the Buff
alo Club; James J. Hills, president oil
the Jersey City Club; James j. LAWS
who will cast the Providence vote.
President j.. j. Stein, of the Buffalo
Club. arrived early yesterday morning
and was in consultation with President
Barrow. President Tom C~hivington, Of
the American Association, and Presi'
dent J. Cal Ewing, of the Pacific Coast
League.
This committee will represent the
three minor leagues which are to pre-
sent their appeal for higher classified
ton to the National Commission today
The appeal has already been approved
by the National Association of Minoi
Leagues, and 1t is supposed that 1t will
be O., KID by the big triumvirate with
certain amendments. The official pro
mitigation of the new pact will not take
place, it was aid yesterday, unit
January, when the National Commits
sion meets again in Cincinnati. By
that time the attitude of the majol
league magnates will be known on thy
matter.

An amusing If somewhat unique In
cident was related to the writer the
other day by real estate agent setting
forth the reason why another agent
with whom he was acquainted failed
to land party of a score or more OF
friends whom he had escorted
many miles to Il section most Of the
merits Of which were on the land
company's advertising matter. The
agent in question BOXED the PROPOSE
ton over pretty carefully and advised
his friends not to buy. telling his real
estate friend some time later that he
was convinced that any man who
would defraud his friends by selling
them such land was reprobate and
would go straight to hell. The writer
has been ut loss to trace the de-
radence In the belief in a hell fire
with the alarming development OF the
real estate business, but In the above
incident there seems to be clew. 1t
NAV be suggested for the protection OF
tbe greedy unwary that ministers
everywhere devote one sermon O
month to the mooted subject. Incl
dsntally it would take the kinks out Of
many a heGrer, put curb on the real
estate swindlers and keep q lot OF
hard earned money where it rightly
belongs.

OF all improvements that can be
made in the farm home to tighten wo-
mans work and make 1t convenient
perhaps tho most desirable Is that
which will give handy and abun-
dant supply Of water and, coupled with
this, drainage facilities which will
make it possible to dispose Of waste
water without the usppt pals: 1t Is
a pretty poky farmer who spends valu
able time pumping water for stock by
hand and Juggling it in pals, and 1t
would seem that on any farm where
more enlightened methods are In
vogue for watering the stock n like
Improvement should be made in the

Such a convenient water system should
not be viewed as q luxury. but merely
an Improvement which common con-

have they got along without rain

School at 3:15 o'clock. An effort will be

liver an address. Mrs. DR.. r. A. PyIes
was chosen president Of the association
at its first and only meeting held before
school adjourned and will continue to
preside during the year.
Notwithstanding the promise of the
superintendent of street cleaning of the
District that a stop would be put to the
practice of those using the dumping
grounds on the west of the Anacostia
bridge of throwing paper near the wa
ter's edge so that 1t foated out into the
river, the condition still exists, and this
branch presents a most unsightly condI-
ton.

of the Anacostia Methodist Episcopal
Church met last evening at the residence
of Mrs. Samuel R. Campbell, Maple View
place. Mrs. Campbell is president of the
society and presided last night.
As soon as Congress convenes in De-
cember. the representatives from the
State Of Minnesota will probably be con-
fronted with a request to be submitted
to them by the residents living along the
avenue in Anacostia named after that
State. It will be urged that this avenue
be improved to compare favorabIy with
others In the District, and also that II
be kept In such condition.
