eral lame legs that possibly are not
inherent in commission government,
but are in the particular one here and
cause considerable annoyance.
There has been a great improve
ment in all-around administration due
to advanced methods, civil service
among the majority Of employees and
general tendency to demand better
things. How much OF this is due to a
change in the plan OF government and
how much to natural evolution is hard
TO say.
Don't Draw Detailed Charter.
A mistake in the Tacoma charter
and one inherent In NEST charters is
that ii attempted to go into detail
en- matters concerning which the char
ter makers were not experts Thus
the commissioners have been hamper
ed often even where they knew of
improvements that could be made and
desired to make them. The shorter q
charter the better, and il ought not
to 90 too much into detail In fixing
offices. A good man might be able to
combine several positions and de-
crease expense without loss Of effici-
e1cy and he should not be hampered
by charter that fixes the places ar
bitrarily
The one. great thing in all muni-
eipal advances today it seems to me
is to get the idea recognized that
municipal government 10 special yo-
cation requiring special training,
Vision, grasp and experience. ANY
charter that will help to spread this
IDEA will advance the cause of good
Trusting your city may be able to
work out something of value, ] am,

LOOK FOR SCRAP
ON MAYOR SNEW
RULES FOR BOARD

When Mayor Lane introduces his
proposed rules for procedure by the
board of supervisors. a warm" ses-
sion is expected. 1t was rumored
about the city hall today that these
rules would be presented to the board
by the mayor at tomorrow nights
meeting.
At various meetings it was charged
by several supervisors that Mayor
Lane attempted to employ the 'gag"
rule. The board is now conducting
its meetings under temporary rules,
those used by the former board of
supervisors. Supervisor Logan at
last meeting moved an amendment to
the rules. of which he had given due
notice, to change the name of the com.
mittee On public expenditures to that
OF the committee on parks, piay-
grounds and purchasing agency, also
defining the duties of the new com
mittee. Supervisor Arnold raised the
point of order that the making Of new
rules had been referred to the mayor.
Logan argued that the point was not
well taken, as the charter required the
supervisors to establish" their own
rules, and they could not delegate any
of their duties, but City and County
Attorney Brown ruled that they could
appoint the mayor as committee OF
one for the purpose mentioned, the
board to pass upon his report when
presented.
It was reported today that other
supervisors are holding amendments
up their sleeves"

by Mr.. Forbes and was widely adyer-

Then Forbes had each of those II

it was their desire that the Lusitana

KIRKBY LEADS BIG FIELD.
Former Metropolitan Champion
Turns in 80 Over National Links,

SOUTHAMPTON, y. Y, August 90
Oswald kirkby, former metropolitan
amateur champion. yesterday led field
of 112 starters in the qualifying round
of the National Golf Club of Americas
annual tournament. His score of so
was one better than the total of Nelson
Whitney of New Orleans, who held the
southern championship last year.
The club officials found it necessary to
add two siXteens to the original pro-
gram, making five divisions for match
play beginning today. a play-off was
necessary between four of the hast three
places. Those involved were Frederick
S. Mare of Havana, L. E. Prindle of
Shinnecock Hills. stephen +. Nash of
Baltusrol and Lee W. Maxwell of
Sleepy Hollow. All took fours but Max
well, who took his place. in the second
division. One of the surprises of the
day was the failure of Eben NJ. Byers
of Allegheny to qualify. The former
national champion required nincty-one
strokes
Considering the stiG wind eff Great
Peconic bay and the fact that the ma
tional links is no easy matter AS re-
pretty good golf. He ran down an
eightfoot putt for a > on the short
sixth hole and laid his approach up SO
well on the sixteenth that he got a
3. in each case beating par. but an
occa sional lapse in putting, with little
luck in avoiding trouble, permitted him
to go along well enough TO win the
medal Whitney recently made ~ in
social round, the best that has been
done.

Boehling has been member OF the

ing. There have been some instances
small-score games, but not very many.
Walter johnson is the tough luck
pitcher of the club. He has lost more
shut out games than any member OF
Griffith's pitching staff. With Boehling
the opposite usually has been the case.
Yesterday the Nationals made eleven
runs for Boehling and found the OPP

Boehling was unusually wild. TINS
probably was caused by his long lay
off. He is pitcher that needs a lou OF

very effective. Wednesday Johnson all

Collamore and couldn't score. There's
the difference in ball games.
Manager Griffith is much plaSed with
the showing of Barber, his recruit out
fielder. The youngster was at the bat
but twice yesterday. He famed his
first time up. but took healthy waiiops.
He later walked. Barber looks like a
diamond in the rough. He has a great
amount of speed. as shown by his
ability to score on Henry's single TO
center in the ninth. Willie juggled the
ball momentarily, but Barber kept run
ming and easily beat the relay. Crit

Chic Gandil seems to have recovered

hitting the ball very hard, but has
failed to get it safe on many occasions.
In yesterdays game Gandil made four

Turner robbed him of his fifth straight
hit in the ninth With Gandil batting
in his regular stride the Nationals are
a much different looking ball club.
