Do Not Want To
Enlarge League
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, May 81
That the Pacific Coast league
will not be enlarged to an eight
club organization next year is the
opinion of President A. T. Baum,
despite the reported interview
given out by ]. Cal. Ewing in Los
Angeles few days ago. Baum
admitted that formal application
of a franchise had been received
from San Diego. No action had
been taken upon it.
1.-THE directors" said Baum,
do not view with favor at this
time enlargement of the circuit,
although it is bound to come in
time. Talk of an eight club cir
cult Is due no doubt to the tan
gled condition of affairs in the
Northwestern league. Some per-
sons probably saw in this an OPP
portunity to get Seattle back into
the league but you can say posi-
lively that no overtures have
been made by the Coast league
to the Seattle owners, nor have
the latter made any overtures to
us. San Diego is very anxious to
come In, but I do not thing 1t
will get franchise In 1913"

CHICAGO. May s1.--That Jack
Johnson, heavyweight champion
OF the world, Is sick man and
has been in very poor health for
some time past, is declared In an
article published in the Evening
Post here. The paper insimates
that the news OF Johnson's health
was carefully concealed from the
public on account of his coming
bout with Jim Flynn In Las We
gas, N. NJ.
The Post says:
"Jack Johnson left Chicago a
sick man. His Illness, carefully
concealed during the last TWO

the real reason for hts failure to

Pitching two-hit game with
four strikeouts and backed by
punched hits by the Tigers and
good head and team work, Curve
Meikle pitched one of the great
est games of ball ever seen on the
home lot yesterday and shut out
the Vancouver Beavers by score
Of 2 to 0.
The happy fans, already glad
because the Tigers had returned
home and the franchise been saw
ed for Tacoma, trooped from the
park rolling over the figures In
their mouths to assimilate the
good taste and boosting with
every heart beat. The game con-
WINGED them that the Tiger name
was one to be conjured with in
the reckoning for the pennant
honors this fall The grandstand
was about half filed with large
sprinkling of the fair sex, and
the bleachers were occupied by
fair crowd. Today, the weather
permitting, there should be a
standing room only audience, and
tomorrow the attendance should
be even greater.
Tacoma Has a Good Baseball
Team. Boost.
Don't Knock. No One Likes a
Knocker.
Placards bearing the above
legend were posted conspicuously
about the grandstand and bleach
ers and heartened the crowd 1t
Is good sentiment to be remem-
bered and observed through the
rest Of the season.
The hoodoo is broken. The
Indian sign of one Spit-baIl En-
gle was shattered. He met his
first defeat yesterday at the
hands of Tigers on their home
grounds, and the second by the
team. Meikle convinced the
crowd that his fifty-seven varie-
ties of out curves were better
than spitballs. Even the pres
ence of Bob Brown, the vancou-
yer magnate, in players toys on
the diamond, failed to lead the
Beavers to victory.
No one cried ''Pop-up" Mike
yesterday. Lynch's first effort
was a two-bagger that started
the scoring. And then he went
safe to first on an error and di-
vided the scoring honors with
Neighbors. Lynch's was the
only extra base hit of the game.
The score:

BEES DOPE

There was hint of a rumor
this morning that within the
month Mike Lynch might trans
fer his managerial affections to
Joe COINS Spokane Indian team,
floating about today, but there Is
no definite answer. The same
little bird whispered that George
Nil might succeed the veteran
Mike.
Barry will. "-Dugdale.
Barry won I. Barry.
Blub-bb-b-b. It ended in Jack
Barry resigning, being fired,
Dug says, as. manager of the Sc
attic Giants, and the installing of
Tealey Raymond as manager at
Spokane yesterday. Dug said he
didn't like the way Jack was
coaching the team. Tealey's ap-
pointment is not announced as
permanent.
Jack Healey of Everett showed
true sporting blood when he
agreed to cancel his agreement
for Tacoma to play in Everett
after Ed Watkins got the team.
That little mix-up between
Barry and Dug has started the
fans to specializing on Tacoma's
batting practice. The pitchers
lob the balls over easy and
straight and when the lads get
into game, although they have
been hitting heavy recently, they
go up against the real stuff, max
in effective stick work extreme
ly difficult. A few youngsters
with stuff shooting them In fast
and mixed Is what is needed.
Umpire Toman furnishes
amusement by jerking at dinky
string on his back like a cable
conductor ringing up fares, when
he stands behind the catcher. He
can beat the runners to first,
however.

Tacoma had six men stranded
on bases yesterday while VAN

lures of the game. Any time

THE WILL OF W. D. PAUL
Heirs in Court Today to Try TO Break
That Peculiar Document

In the first division of the district
court this morning an effort is being
made to break the will of William D.
Paul, who died at his home near Pau
line, Shawnee county, last spring. The
Paul will was one of the most pecu-
liar ever filed here, in that the old
Paul home was tied up under it's terms
until the last of the immediate heirs
of the testator is dead.
Mr.. Paul provided for a division of
part of his estate. The homestead,
however, he provided should be held
for the benefit of such members of
the family as might, in the course of
time, become poverty stricken. 1t pro-
vided that the property should be held
in trust by three sons, William s.,
Charles K, and Harry d. Paul.
Suit was brought by Grace N. Sumey
and others against the trustees. alleg-
ing that the father was of unsound
mind when the will was made This
morning the children and neighbors
told the court of several strokes of
paralysis suffered by the aged farmer.
and declared that he was weak both
physically and mentally during the last
few months of his life. The hearing
may require several days.

She rushed to the yard with her
clothing ablaze and stood with arms
outstretched in supplication as the
flames consumed her clothes. A man
and several women finally saw her
from a porch overlooking the convent
and rushed to her aid. They reached
the convent gates as the sister sank to
her knees, making no outcry and he1
hands still clasped above her head.
The rescuers soon eXtinguished the
flames and the nun was carried to her
room where she died few minutes

their vacation. School was to open
Monday in the building, which had just
been remodeled. AS a result of the fire
two hundred children will not be en-

buildings in the section are already
overcroWded.
When the Argentine Fire company
arrived at the fire they lacked one hun
dred and fifty feet of hose enough to
connect with the nearest fire plug, a
quarter of a mile from the school. When
another fire company arrived it was
too late to save the building.
