MARSANS CASE HEARD.
Judge Raps 10 Day Clause of Or
gained Ball.

ST. Louis, Aug. 17.-Argumnts on
the application of Armando Marsans,
Cuban bali player, who jumped from
the Cincinnati Nationals to the ST.
Louis Federals a year ago, for mod
ification of an injunction which pre-
vents him from playing with St.
Louis, were resumed in the Federal
District Court yesterday.
Marsans contends that the Cincin-
natl club has violated the terms of
the injunction issued on it's applica-
ton by not making it possible for
him to play with that club.
Attorney C. c. Madison, represent
ing the Federal league, declared be-
fore Judge Dyer that the Cincinnati
club was prevented by the rules of
the National Baseball Commission
from carrying out the requirements
Of the injunction, which provided
that Marsa1is could not play with the
Federal league as long as Cincinnati
complied with it's contract with him.
Madison said the National Commits
sion prohibited a club operated un-
der it's rules from considering any
player of an "outlaw club until three
years have elapsed since he was a
member of the "outlaw club
Judge Dyer. said he did not ap-
prove Of the ten-day clause in the
contracts of Organized baseball.
THE ten-day clause he said
''gives the club all the better Of
it. The club can give a player no
tice of release, but the player can
not give the team for which he is
working any such notice. 1t is one
sided affair."
George H. Williams, attorney for
the Cincinnati club, argued that the
rules of the National Commission had
nothing to do with the Injunction and
with the enforcement Of a baseball
contract

BENTON CAN'T Play.
Tener So Notifies Giants Management;
Case Will Be Settled Tomorrow.

New York, Aug. 17.-For few
days at any rate, "Rube'' Benton is
out of baseball, pending the decision
as to whether he shall don a unifor
with the Giants or become an asset to
the Pittsburg club in the final race for
the pennant. Yesterday President
John K. Tener of the National league
wired to Barney Dreyfuss in Pitts
burg asking him not to use Benton
until the case of each Of the disput-
ing sides could be heard and settled.
The release Of Benton to the Giants
by Cincinnati was received at the
National league offices yesterday, so
that just for the moment Benton is
a ball player without a home.
A meeting of the National league
is to be held in Boston tomorrow and
the case Of Benton will proba bly,
come under discussion then, with
the prospect of a decision before any
great lapse Of time ..-
The claim on Benton by the Giants
rests on an option which was secur-
ed last June from Garry Hermann.
Tt was orally agreed that If Benton
was sold the Giants should have the
first chance to secure his services.
When Hermann was reminded Of
this, after Herzogs deal with Pitts
burg. he repudiated the latter tran
saction and said that the pitcher
should so to New York.

TONTMERS MAY BE CHOICE.
Former Yale Star May o"cceeu
O,,;nby as Baseball Coach.

>r,,, Haven. Aug. 1.-THE selec-
+;on IF a baseball coach at yale TO
succeed Frank Quimby, VINO mas
~,,ithdrawn for good and all, is SUP
100 that is receiving a great deal or
Consideration at New Haven. yale
I.,,,,,i were divided on the merits OF
",,,i-,,hv as a, coach of the varsity
49, hut where they will get a better
an is the question that is puzzllng
them. ~ ae
with the announced selection or
r. Walsh as coach Of the pitchers, 1t
lnnears that Yale has definitely aban-
1oned the graduate system Of COACH
mo which was introduced when
OI1imby took charge. Under Billy
Iush Walsh coached the Yale Twill
ers but when Lush 1ert, three years
$50 Bernie Tommers, one Of the
,itchers who had been developed by
walsh. was named to coach the
twirlers.
Rumors, apparently not without
foundation, have slated TOmmers as
head coach of the nine, and in view
of Walsh's retention to develop the
1,itchers such a selection does not
seen, to be without the range for
,rommers to become head coach is the
fact that he has had practically no
exnerience aside from that picked up
with the Yale teams, and such semi
professional teams as he has played
with.
It Is felt by Yale men that a man
of much experience is needed for the
post and for this reason Tommers
1uay not be named. 1t is known,
however, that Captain Milburn leans
favorably toward Tommers, and
where the word Of the captain is as
closely akin to law as it is at New
Haven there would be small wonder
say Yale men, conversant with the
situation, if Tommers should be
named.

Commencement exercises of the
Daily Vacation Bible school, which
has been conducted for the past few
1lonths at the First church Of Christ
were held at the church last evening.
The attendance was large and the
parents and friends of the pupils were
hearty in their congratulations of the
pupils as we'll as the instructors for
the excellent work that mas been &C
complished.
The program was carried out with
cut the slightest hitch, tho children
performing without the least embar-
rassment. The audience showed it's
appreciation of their EFFORTS by APP
plauding generously. After the exer-
cises the interested public retired to
an exhibition room, wnere the work
which has been done BY tne children
was displayed on tables paced about
the room. Baskets, haminocks, little
dresses, bags and numerous other
articles We're on display and the pub
lie marveled at the work.
Rev. Elmer T. Themes, assistant
pastor of the church, VINO supervised
the school, is well pleased with the
seasons work. He said that the
were far beyond his expectations.
The school is the only one of it's kind
in this state and it is mainly through
Mr.. Themes efforts tina, this city
can be congratulated upon being for
tunate enough to have one. The at
tention of many church workers
about the state has been attracted to
this city and frequent visits have been
paid to the school by them. All were
unanimous that it was grand sue
cess.
The expenses of the school have
amounted to about $3.50, but the good
that it has done cannot be estimated.
1t has served to keep the children out
of mischief and from accidents as they
were kept off the streets. They have
learned to weave baskets and make
hammocks and other articles which
will help them in later life. Bible les
sons, hymns and lectures have served
as an uplifting force and will assist
the children in leading righteous
| lives.
This is the second year the school
has been conducted and it has been
| such a gratifying result that it's sue
cess for future years is assured. No
| less than 800 pupils have been enrolled
| this year.
| A kindergarten department was con-
| Quoted at the school. Here the little
! tots were amused in a similar manner
as is done in the public schools.
| Through this means the tired mother
| was relieved of considerable care and
| worry.
Some of the older boys and girls
made hammocks at the small expense
of twenty cents. The hammocks are
woven of heavy Irvine and are sub
stantial. Many of the boys also exer-
cised their skill in weaving baskets
which mother can go to the market
with" Others made handsome collar
boxes. The little girls were kept busy
sewing.
To diversity the work and not to
make it tedious for the Industrious lit
| tie pupils a part Of each day was de-
voted to story telling and singing.
! Victrola concerts and stereopticon lee
! lures were features of this summers
school.
One delightful feature Of this years
school was an outing at Elizabeth
| park, Hartford. The children had the
! time of their young lives at the picnic
! and their beaming faces were silent
! testimonials to this fact.
The school has been conducted I'M

newspapers Of accounts of tho forrna-
ton by several prominent no, of an
association for the purpose NJ discus
sing whether a monarchy 10 not the
better form of government for China
The published article telling of The
formation of the society quotes Pro-
fessor Goodnow as declaring that for
China a monarchy is a better form of
government than republic and that
conditions are different in China and
America and ii is impossible to trans
plant a system from one country to
another.
1t was learned from one Of Yuan
Ski axis Immediate supporters nd
if the project proves feasible the plan
is to establish the monarchy within
two years.
News .Arouses Picking.
The news has created sensation in
Picking and is being telegraph ed
! throughout the country.
1t is stated that Prof. Goodnow was
! asked to come to Picking and that
soon after is arrival Yuan Shi- Iiai
! consulted with him on the question OF
| a permanent constitution and broach-
! ed the question of a monarchy. The
arguments of Yuan's supporters, ii Is
| declared, persuaded Prof. Goodnow
! that a monarchy should be establish ed
| if the people would accept it and Prof
| Goodnow drafted a document for
Yuan advising him on the method OF
establishing a monarchy.
Comes From Leading Citizens.
In the announcement of the pro-
ject, which is made to appear as com.
ing from a group of leading citizens
Prof. Goodnow is quoted extensively
as a great authority advocating the
i necessity for a monarchy. This pro-
| nouncen.ent says:
AS Prof. Goodnow is citizen of q
| republic, he is more competent tC
make such d statement than others.
In an inspired article reporting a
conversation between Yuan Shi Kai
| and a high official the president is
| quoted as having said:
| "A certain doctor gave me an eX.
| haustive dissertation on the adj
vantages acruing from monarchica
! and republican governments. l an.
swered him that being the president
! of a republic / was in no position To
| discuss the question"
Referred 1t to Goodnow.
In official circles here the belief is
| expressed that Yuan Shi Kai had
! reference to Professor Goodnow, and
| the newspapers insert his name in
| their reports on the situation. Pro-
| fessor Goodnow said last night that
| he had been misquoted. He made nc
| blanket statement, he asserted, that a
monarchy was better than a republic
but said that under certain conditions
such as apply in China, ne believes a
monarchy would be better. In reply
to question he said that ne did not
mind his name being used by the
monarchists if it would assist in the
peaceful promotion of monarchy
and the welfare of China.
The foremost argument of the mon
, archists is the danger of chaos reign
ing, as in Mexico, at Yuan Shi Kai's
death. The succession OF Vice Presi-

FATHER DRUMM WILL
SUCCEED SULLIVAN

Dubuque, Jan. 25-Announcement
has been made by Archbishop Keane
that he had named Father Thomas w.
Drumm, superior Of the Dubuque Apos-
tolate Mission band, as pastor of St.
Patrick's church in Cedar Rapids.
Father Drumm will succeed Father
Timothy Sullivan, who for twenty-five
years was the beloved pastor of that
parish, and whose death occurred a
few weeks ago.
The appointment is of interest to
hundreds of Father Drumm's friends
throughout the state. Perhaps no
priest is better known throughout the
archdiocese, for his mission work has
carried to him every town and city in
the city. Father Drumm was educa-
ted at Dubuque college (then ST..
Joseph's) and was ordained to the
priesthood at Montreal, Canada, four
teen years ago.
