Tener as pres- ident and : ot policies re- garding players and play m 1919 & the principal scheduled business, Na- tional Leaguo baseball :lul) owners were, gatherins here tonight for their annual meeting. The fleld of presidential candidates has narrowed down to John A. Heydler the present - secretary-treasurer, and John Conway Tosle, a lawyer who at ‘various times has served as counsel for the league and the mationai com- mission. Another interesting question has to do with the standing of Fred Mitchell. 1ecently elected president of the Chi- cago club. Under the coastitution no p'ayer or manager is permiited to rtp- resent a club at a leagus mesting, and sc far as is known, Mitchell still holds the manager's authori Execept by unanimous consent, which is mot con- sidered likely, the constl:ailin caanot be amended at the meeting. According to the programme, the board of directors will meet at noon tomorrow and prbably will be occu- pied for several hours wit:financial reports and routine busindss. Awarding of the pennant to the Chicage club also will be a feature of th2 first d1y's session. As there appears to be no congerted plan on the part of the owners for the 1919 season, discussion of policies s likely to extend over several days. It was officially announcai here to- day that Madager Huggins of the New York American Leaguc . «¢lub, With which he has been playing since 1914. ,The club owriers of thé new Inter- national League held the first ses- sion of teir annual meeting here today and will reconvene tomorrow after- noon. All of the’ clubs ywere repre- seted and President John H. Farrell of Auburn, N. Y., president. With the exception of John Dunn of the Baltimore club, All the owners said they were ready to continue next sea- son and all were optimistic as to the future of the national game. Dunn, howeyer, stated that in cas® the Na- tional Commission, at ites annual meeting in_Cincinpati nest month, falled to eliminate the drafting of players by Major leagues, his club would not go through another season. The Naswnal Association of _Minor Leagues his requested the climination of the draft rule and its comin’ee will appeal to tho commission for the de- sired chapge.’ President-Treasurer Farrell's Te- port of the 1913 season was read and adopted.

WHY NOT BREED QUAIL AND GROUSE? All naturalists and gall sportmen know that it is a very eacy mat- ter to introduce grouse and quail on_protected ‘areas and quickly to make thest splendid foods so. plenti- ful that they could be sold in the mar- kéts as cheaply as the Kuropean {grouse and partridges are sold in the foreign markets, says a writer in the Game Breeder. The pheasants easily are reared in big numbers and since the laws were amendtd a few years ago permitting) game breeders to produce pheasants without fear of arrest the pheasants have become so abundant in many places that it will be no longer neces- sary to send money abroad to pur- chase them. ) Why should American breeders be compelled to send thousands of dollars annually to Mexico for .small quail | when the larger Northtrn birds easily could be produced on American farms in sufficient numbers to supply the demands of all those who wish to purchase quail for breeding purposes for sport or for food?

Granting that the quail are beneficial fo agriculture, why should not the State permit and en- courage he farmers to make and to Keep them profitably plentiful? Why encourage the breeding of fish and prevent the production of quail? Why should a State game depart- ment or a State Legislature persist in being nonsensical? WHAT’S A LEG IN BASEBALL NOTHING TO A FRENCH POILU! French enthusiasm over baseball has risen to great heights. Physical defects that in America would be considered insurmountable handicaps, are overlooked. by the French in, their eagerness to play the national game of their American brothers-in-arms. In proof of this, engaged in teachin: poilus, vouches f: yarn: “When I was trying'to teach base- ball to’ some of (hs French soldiers we finally got & game under way at one of the camps. I noticed a man on the sideleines shoutwiz and jump- ing up and down in his excitement. “Pretty soon he asked to try a turn at bat. The poilu swung' at th2 pill with. all his might. Eat he missed it and_Iheard something snap. “The disappointed soldier hell up his hand and called out: “Attendez un petit instant, monsieur, sl vous plait’ I gathered that he wanted mte toswait for a ittle instant’ 1 watch- ed him. The poilu unbuckled his hest, made a few passes at some important connecting points and got hold of a strap that ran from his shoulder to his knee. “I ntarly passed away when I sam that the man had a wooden leg! And he got it buckled up again and went on bafting. He hit the ball, too. And. say—that fellow could run fast- er than a lot of ball players I know who have a full set of legs!” THE SHOOTING JOHN D. By GEORGE W. PECK. To the trapshooter. Elkhart, Indi- ana,smeans mych for it produced - a man who could step from the homely confines of a tonsorial parior and in a few short hours find himself in the limelight, 2 Grand American Handi- cap winner. Fikhart has much to be proud of. It has a population of 24,000, nestles gracefully at the confluence of the Elkhart and St. Joseph Rivers and boasts of four things in particular. It is the biggest band instrument man- ufacturing centre in the world, with six factaries turning out wind instru- ments, the biggest baby carriage fac- tory in the world, the liveliest gun club in a day's journey, and finally J. D. Henry. The Scriptures admonish us to_toot our own horn lest the same shall not be tooted. It would seem that the whole world is tooting Elkhart horns. Theodore Rodsevelt holds up a warn- ing hand and with fear depicted on his sturdy countenance argues lustily against race suicide. If he could get a peek at that baby-buggy fac- tory that has to run night and day and then is always behind in its or- ders, it would probobly lift a great weight off his mind and give him a little extra time to abuse the admin- istration.

After dying a natural death, the club was miraculously re- vived in 1916 with the aid of a hand trap and a lot of latent ginger. The club as a whole is there with the goods. It contributed a full squad at the G. A. H,, and had other clubs done as well the shoot would still be on. And now for John D.Like the other John D. he was born of poor but honest parents and it is a high trib- ute to our hero to say that he is sat- isfied to remain honest and modera- tely successful despite some examples which may have been set by captains of industry and Hindenburgs of hign finance. John D. Henry got his baptism_ of fire at the Elkhart Gun Club. Un- doubtedly his vocation stood ‘him in good stead. To chase the regulation barber’s machete over the counte- nance of a prone victim, hurdling a wart here and a pimple there and leave the lobes of the victim's ears in- tact, requires nerve and a delicacy of touch second only to that of a great surgeon. And why not? Time was when a bunch of bloody rags bound to a pole designated the entrance of a shop where orte could get cither barbered or bleed and was NOTICE—JUST ARRIVED Two Carloads of BRIDAL VEIL FLOUR YOU CANNOT HAVE GOOD.
