Chivington Elected
To Succeed Himself

CHICA';u, an. 7.-American Associa-
ton nagnates are today homeward
bound, having completed all their work
in a single session at the annual meet
Ing yesterday.
After a campaign, which started with
the ciose of the regular season. Tom
Chivington was reelected president by
vote said to be g to 8. Not only was
he again chosen, but the owners showed
their faith In him by making his term
for the period of five years. In the
past 1t has been the custom to elect a
man for one year only, but this was
deemed not to the best interests of the
league.
1t is planned to start the season about
the middle Of April and the schedule
will contain 1853 games. The request of
two minor leagues to have clubs In two
of the association cities while the as
sociation's club In these cities are on
the road was denied.
Several managers from other leagues.
including Connie Mack, were on hand,
but no deals were contaminated.
The report of President Chivington
showed the finances of the league to be
in excellent condition.

realized that 1t is virtually standon between
those who walk and those who ride.
In point of numbers participating, easily the
greatest Easter fashion parade in America il
that which takes place on this eventful day on
the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. People flock
from all sections of the country to the New Jer
sey resort. They come many of them will tell
you. because Atlantic City is supposed to have
a mild and equable spring climate but the real
reason in most instances is realization that
the natural study of mankind Is man and
that here may be found greater assemblage
OF representatives of the human than at
any other Easter mecca on this side OF the At
lantic. There are sometimes as many aB 100 900
people in the Easter parade at Atlantic City
and they devote themselves to marching and
countermarching on that fve-mile elevated
esplanade because there is little else to do at
Atlantic City at Easter when 1t is. OF course
too cold for sea bathing
The Atlantic City parade OF fashion starts in
the morning. though 1t is not timed to accord
with church services for the simple reason
that only small propo rtion OF the Easter WIS.,
itors to Atlantic City take time to attend d.
vine worship on this day OF days. Instead they
spend their time the great wooden high
way-walking or riding in those odd and lazy
wheeled chairs pushed by porters or propelled
by tricycles. At Atlantic City also there is an
other fashion parade in the afternoon. though
to be strictly accurate we should not say AN
other. In reality 1t is continuation OF the
same grand march OF the gaudy dressers How
any OF them manage to get lunch is a mystery,
for the crowd on the Boardwalk never suffers
any diminution from fd-morn to dusk. and In
deed this spectacular continuous performance
even goes on after the electric bulbs are aglow
and Easter promenaders in other cities have
long since sought their own nresides
