Affairs- of the Sporting World
' We see by a Lowell paper that they are thinking of nominating Bob Ganley as , mayor of that burg. Class to that job, Robert. Latham has really agreed to act as head fun maker for the Giants this year. "If I get tired of the job I'll go back to umpiring," said Latham. "That's almost as funny as being the end man of a minstrel trpupe."' The White Sox will be the busy kids out. in California during spring training trip. The club has given out Its practice game schedule and it calls for nearly fifty games. A Detroit is building a. new plant to hold 2o,KX persons. Why? There have been two world championships played there and the size of the crowds that
attended never caused the building inspector to get uneasy. In looking over th exheanges we see that Jerry Downs, the Tigers' crack inflelder has been purchased by at least ten different 'minor league clubs. The Detroit papers, however, are predicting a great season for Jeremiah as a Tiger. Press stand at Pittsburg's new parlt will be locked and the qualified reporters supplied with keys. This ought to work well until Houdini visits Smoketown. Adrian C. Anson not only claims the credit of bringing the late John C. Clarkson into the major - leagues, to which he is entitled, but adds the rare tribute that he was the greatest pitcher of his time.
MAGNATES TO MEET
Polo League Promoters to Consider Increasing the Schedule Next Sunday.
LAFAYETTE WANTS GET IN
There wil be a meeting of the promoters of the Indiana Polo league Sunday afternoon at Anderson to consider the advisability of making a change In the schedule which will provide for two games of polo each week in the various cities. - New Castle, Elwood , and Richmond favor the change and it is believed the managements of Marion and Anderson wil acquiesce. It is probable however, that the change will not be instituted until after March 1, as several of the promoters hAve their coliseums booked for other attractions until this time. The Lafayette management will , ask for admittance to the league at: this meeting and if the promoters consider
the question seriously . Lafayette will ' make the circuit a six club affair. An
other matter of importance to be considered will be the strengthening of the clubs.

Either because Marion's society women fear a grand jury Investigation of their quiet little card games for prises or because their morals have undergone a change, they have decided to abandon the practice of playing cards for prises. : ? - iIt is difficult to find out just why the Marion women abandoned the pastime. It has been hinted that the grand jury Intended to take the matter up as it has been claimed the stakes offered at some of the "sewing circle" sittings were decidedly large. Richmond women do not appear to think there is anything wrong in playing cards for prises. The society columns of the local newspapers have been publishing accounts of club meetings and the names of prise winners. The postal authorities have ruled that
such affairs are a species of gmutnj and lotteries and If the postmastet sees fit he may refuse the paper taf use of the mails. In the future taf Palladium , will contain no lemuti
