Nevsy Notes From
the Sporting World

games settled all dispute as to Sec
ond place.
THE 1918 season will probably see
at least two, if not three, of the pres
ent clubs in the Western Tri-State
League dropped, their places being
taken by larger cities better able to
support clubs. The tentative plans
of the league magnates now contem-
plate the addition of salt Lake and
Ogden on the south and of the league
circuit. North Yakima and Walla
Walla on the northern terminal
with Boise and either Pendleton or
Twin Falls in the central portion. If
this program goes through, Salt
Lake and Ogden will withdraw from
the present protected territory of the
Union League and that territory will
be annexed to the Western Tri-State.
WaIla Walla Assured Berth.
THE Tri-State territory already in
cludes Walla Walla in the north end
and the fact that the city has drawn
so we'll and indicated that it will
strongly support organized baseball,
will make its berth certain. North
Yakima is also considered a strong
city and if arrangements could have
been made this season would have
been included in the league. If
North Yakima can prove that it will
give a local club strong support the
league magnates will recognize the
claims of the fans of that city to a
franchise.
THE Tr-State League had plans
for six clubs when it was organized
last spring, but the circuit had to
be cut down to make a four-club or
ganization. 1t is generally conceded
by the league magnates that La
Grande is too small to support a
team in organized baseball and that
city is almost certain to be dropped.
Pendleton, while larger, is also placed
in the same class, and it is very
doubtful if that city is given a fran
chise in 1913.
The league, which was four-club
affair last season, will be composed
of six clubs in 1918. The probable
| franchise holders viii be North Yaki-
ma, Walla Walla, Boise, Twin Falls
Ogden and Salt Lake. Twin Falls is
given preference because it shortens

until it was taken from him by the

had $4,000 invested in their bal
park at that time and resented the
action of the Union directors with
the result the Union League was fore
ed to drop Boise from its protected
territory and take in ogden. Boise

Napoleon never had to get an obsti-

conquered France would have moved
the donkey. Nay, do not doubt; am
certain 1t would not And since men
are a great deal more stupid and more
obstinate than donkeys l am sure 1t
was not by an iron will alone that Ma
poleon ruled the French.
The iron will only served to rule
himself to keep him hard and inces-

idea. the idea Of convincing men that
he was the ablest among them. that
BY following him they did best for
themselves. A political boss does the
same: there IL no iron will involved:
merely no shows his followers that
they all gain by going with him.
And the same rule holds true in the
case Of band conductors. A military
conductor can get his way because the
men under him are punished unless
they obey him: an opera or concert
conductor may get his way because he
can throw out of employment the men
who do not obey him.
But the true born conductor. either
military or civil. gets his way and

that by paying close attention to him
and putting their backs into their

performances were poor and some one
must have lost a fair sum of money

See what happened when Nikisch
returned not as master but as servant
Of the orchestra. The Symphony or
chestra engaged him: the glittering
eye nonsense and the iron will nom
sense were dropped. and at once artis-
tic results were got. One might disap-
prove Of many things he did. and espe-
cially of his affected readings, but he
