REPRESENTATIVES FROM SEVERAL CITIES HERE—HOUSTON WANTS TITLE SERIES.

The special meeting of the National Amateur Baseball Association was called to order at the Severin hotel this morning at 10 o’clock. The purpose of the meeting is to draft rules to govern the championship games in the fall and to decide where the contests will be held. A plan yet In embryo Is to have local teams play games was decided upon at the morning session, it Is believed that this plan will be favored by the visiting delegates. The cities of Tacoma, Wash.; Los Ahgeles, Cal.; Sacramento, Cal., and Duluth, Minn., all members of the national body, have withdrawn from the championship contest owing to the expense that would be entailed by making the long Jumps from the coast. All, however, remain members of the association. Houston, Tex., has put In a bid for the entire championship series and it is possible that the proposition may be considered providing Houston can make satisfactory arrangements to meet the expenses of the visiting teams. The delegates who were in attendance when the meeting was called to order were: Dr. P. M. Seixas, Pittsburg; George Beuchel, Louisville; H. H. Newson. Cleveland; O. F. Remke, Lincoln; Pat McNeill, St. Paul, and C. E. Van Dusen, Detroit.

SPORTS PICKED UP IN PASSING

Football Is Money Maker. According to an authority who keeps close tab upon the receipts and expenses of major college athletics, there is also some money in college baseball and football. The net profits of the Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania elevens last season Is set at a trifle over $240,000, while the nines showed a profit of something over $30,000. The fact that the football teams, playing less than a third as many games as the baseball nines, were able to pile up about eight times the profits of the diamond combinations, shows that the gridiron game still holds first place as a money maker in college

sports.

Silk Was Curious. Silk O’Loughlln was in a hurry. He had only a few moments left to get ready for a certain White Sox-Senator game at Washington a couple of weeks ago. A colored man stopped him at the door. O’Loughlin tried to brush past, but the stranger was insistent. “Jest a moment, boss,’’ said the colid fellow. “Ah have a pitcher’s glove here ah’ve invented an’ want you to see what you all think of it.” He removed a box from under his arm and started to

open it.

Silk’s curiosity got the better of him. He called to Joe Benz, who was passing In uniform on his way to to the Sox

bench.

"Come here a moment, will you, Joe?" asked O’Loughlln. “Let’s have a look at this fellow’s pitching glove.” The box was open and an ordinary finger glove was exposed to view. There was one difference, however. A small looking glass an inch wide and two inches long was fixed to the back of the thumb. “What's that glass for?” Inquired Joe. The stranger put on the glove and as sumed a pitching position. The gloved hand covered the mitt noiding the ball. "See thah?” he announced, proudly. “When you all hold de glove dat way you kin watch de runner at second base without looking around." Think* for Pirates. Those who have watched Hans Wagner’s play In the National League this season say he is better than any time since 1911. This seems remarkable In view of the fact he is rounding out his twentieth year as a big league star. -In Philadelphia recently the papers raved over his work, asserting he made plays no other shortstop in Tener's circuit would have got away with that day. He does all the thinking for the Pirate Infield. Wagner is now forty-two years of age and he must stop soon. Wonder when his day of exit is fixed? Connie Wa* Foxy Then. There may have been better catchers than Connie Mack, but none any foxier. Connie was with the Pirates back In 1893, when he played a little trick on Cap Anson that won a game for Pittsburg. Ad Gumhert was pitching for the Pirates, and got himself Into a hole. Chicago filled the bases in a hurry, and only one man was out. Cap Anson came

to bat.

In those days Cap was a terror to Itchers. The situation was serious ap had a way of taking two strikes and then lighting on the third one for

fare-ye-well.

And so it was here. Gumbert floated two across and Cap didn’t blink an eye.

aside,

stepped

the ball, and took

Suddenly Connie Mack while Gumbert held the

off his mask. He wiped his brow,- tossed his glove aside and started removing

his chest protector.

Anson was amazed. He looked around and glanced with wide open eyes at Mack. “What’s the matter, Connie?" he inquired. “Ain't you going to give me

a crack at the ball?"

As he spoke Connie signaled to Gumbert and he whipped a fast one straight across. Mack reached out his chest protector and blocked the ball. Then he grabbed It as It rolled away, touched the plate, forcing the man who was on third, and then throwing to first to double Anson. The Cap was so surprised he

didn’t even try to run.

WILSON TO PRESS BUTTON. Elephant Butte Dam Project to Be Opened October 14. [Special to The Indianapolis Nows] EL PASO, Tex.. August 15. — When President Wilson presses a button which will start the waters of the Rio Grande flowing through the spillways of the great Elephant Butte dam. on October 14, he will begin the Irrigation of 200,000 acres of land in the chain Of valleys In New Mexico, Texas and old Mexico. The first meeting of the Twen-ty-third international irrigation congress will be held at the dam dedication, followed by sessions in El Paso, October 16, 17 and 18. , . The Elephant Butte dam is a mass of concrete and steel thrown across the Rio Grande on the desert of N«w Mexico at a point where a great rock, formed like the head and body of a mastadonic elephant, seems to drink from the stream, ft forms a reservoir more than forty-five miles in length and eight miles across, which stores the melted snows of ths Colorado mountains. The water will be permitted to flow through the spillways of the dam when the land needs moisture for the growing season. The dedication of the Elephant Butte dam will be an event of world-wide importance in the irrigation field,’’ said James G. McNary, president of the First National Bank of El Paso and chairman of the board of control of the irrigation congress. “It will reward the pioneer men and women of the lower Rio Grande valleys, from Albuquerque to old Mexico, and It will JuaUfy the faith of the people of the southwest who have staked their ail on the fertility of the soil and the ability of the project to carry the waters to the lands when most needed." 1
