BASEBALL MAGNATES HOLD
ANNUAL MEETING TODAY

He and President Lynch of the Ma
tional league are expected to arrive on
morning trains.
President Tom Chivington of the
American association says he expects
nothing startling to take place at the
session of his club owners. There are
numerous matters of minor interest to
come up before the magnates, probably
the matter of a schedule for next sea-
son being the most important. Every
year there Is a question whether the
association will adopt schedule of
16S games or 1874. The latter number
is the same as played in the major
leagues, but the association has sue
cessfully played 1ss for several sea-
sons and President Chivington ex-
poets the same number to be played
this year.
1t is quite probable that something
other than the associations business
affairs Will bring out some interesting
news. For instance two of the minor
league managers arrived yesterday
and called upon President Murphy OF
the Cubs with the hope of securing
some OF his extra ball players. Others
will tackle him today and some have
eyes on Manager Callahans horde OF
White Sox athletes.

home from a complication of diseases.
Mr.. Won der Abe was born in Hills,

tered the saloon business and amassed

1883, with c. A. Comiskey as manager.

There will be two different gather
fnss of baseball magnates in Chicago
today. The national commission, the
supreme power of organized baseball.
composed of President Johnson of the
American league. President Lynch Of
the National league, and August Herr
mann, owner of the Cincinnati ball
club will hold a postponed session in
the office of President Johnson In the
Fisher building, while the annual
meeting of the American association
will take place at the Congress hotel.
The commissions session is likely
to be short because most of the busi-
ness was done down in Cincinnati ten
days ago. AS President Johnson could
not attend account of illness, the
meeting was postponed and transferred
to Chicago. Evidence in numerous
cases to be tried by the commission
already has been taken, but decisions
could not be given until Johnson had
read the evidence.
Consequently the main part of the
business of the commission today will
be the giving of decisions after John
son has heard the evidenced on various
claims by players and clubs. Chair
man Hermann has announced the

What Is the Home For?

Editor, Barre Daily Times: In reading
Wedne sday's Times, was very glad to
see that at last some notice has been
taken regarding hoodlumism on our
streets. Ii seems to me there must be
much sparing the rod and spelling the
child. ! have visited the slums. of some
OF the large cities, both in this country
and Europe, but never have | witnessed
more freedom for swearing, blasphemy
and rowdyism amongst children than in
our little city of Barre. In larger cities
it would not be tolerated. The police
men would not allow it.
1t does seem absurd, the question, III
the boys were told to move on, where
would they go?" Why, where any re-
spectacle, decently brought up boy and
girl would go, or is our city filed with
homeless orphansf If so, it's time some
place was provided for them. If parents
attended fewer clubs and gave a little
more time to the training of their chill
dren and kept them off the streets after
dark, it would be greatly to their benefit.
Why not have the curfew law and en-
force it, as done in other places with
good results? There would be fewer
boys and girls going astray.

President Wilson continues to look AT
satisfactory material for the St James
ambassad orship, but it is probable that
former President Eliot of Harvard uni
versity will send in his declination just
as Richard Olney did. Ex-President
Eliot was 70 years old on March 20,
and, therefore, considerably past the age
OF active participation in public affairs.

auires a man nearer the prime of life
