Charles Moll Vice president rank A Lyon secretary Samuel Smitt assistant secretary George Renchard treasurer Richard Hoy The dinner presided over by the retiring Charles ox was a complete affair and was enjoyed by all who partook of it The year just closed has been more than usual ly prosperous Many of me 'patrons of these organized tailors andaparticularly the younger ele ment will be pained to learn that a move ment is on foot to abolish the practice which has become practically'' universal among the principal tailors of pressing the suits and overcoats of their customers How this practice began here is somewhat of a mystery But once the seed was sown by one man it developed with rapidity until all tell into line Probably not one except the introducer who was seeking to create more trade by this means willingly adopted the plan but as it became that the custom was being placed in greatest amount where the pressing was free of charge they were compelled to imitate the rest Said a prominent tailor last evening: maintain one man in iny store And two outside who devote a large part of their time to pressing and lightly cleaning the clothing of my customers 1 pay them he wages of $16 per week or $48 for the three in the course of a year though I have siever figured it out this free pressing costs me a large amount of money with practically no return as com pared with the old days where every cus tomer paid $1 per suit for the work would not object so hard had the thing not become such an abuse One customer directed me tq send out to his house every week for his clothing to be cleaned and pressed and repaired just as though I were running a dyeing cleaning and repair shop except that the latter 'gets pay for its work And others will have a suit of clothes pressed three times a week In every case they expect me to carry the clothing back and forth where it is kept at Were some of my customers to pay the regular rates tor the work their bills with me would amount to $3 a week and Trie exchange secretary now has an agree ment to abolish the custom entirely to which some signatures have been obtained But the vote must be unanimous to succeed and as several have ignored it thus far the fea'rs of impecunious but fas tidious young men will be allayed for prob ably several weeks to come It Was decided at tihe meeting to use ef forts to secure the

mysterious mein seldom do but they make the common error of taking into their confidence men who are prone to talk like the parrot too much Through such avenues the news comes to light and an Interested public is informed to a certain extent of the moves made and in contemplation In the baseball world Ban Johnson pesident of the American League was in Detroit yesterday and before he departed for Chicago on a late train a few facts had been evolved through the favored few who gathered in the star chamber sessions tried to keep secret the fact of their meetings No mistakes are to be made by the American a ngnt is precipitated ing campaign on the diamond Experiences of the past will be it will bo a united front that is enemy if it napnuanrv field When they go into the struggle it will be! to win a glorious victory or go down together in defeat No desertions can be looked for as the owners of the various clubs have signed a pact that binds them closer together than ever and they will stick together to thd bitter end5 once war is forced upon them All bridges will be burned behind as the ad vance is made meaning a sink or swim policy and those who know the American League men do not believe that they will sink President Burns of the Detroit club affixed his signature to the papers yesterday and there remain two names to be added to make it complete This is nqt a threat and ie not to be flaunted in the faces of the National League leaders but is simply a precautionary measure as President Johnson Is a firm believer that in time of peace men should prepare for war A ttomey Thomas Navin of this city Is ambitious to become a baseball magnate He had a finger tn tha rival league pie last winter uud after the phantom association passed in Its checks he was a bidder for the Detroit club that Burns Stallings eecured During the past fall he negotiated for the Detroit and Buffalo clubs without getting a satisfactory pried named and this winter he fathered the Idea of a new league with Toledo and a second club in Detroit as part of the circuit inding that there was no pros pect of getting permission to locate a second club here Mr Navin set out to get an interest iq an American League club with Washington choice Jimmy Manning is willing to take a partner in such a big deal He has had a talk with Navin about it and Ban Johnson also talked the mat ter over lth'the Detroit attorney It is said that McMillan money will figure in the deal if one is made and it is pointed out that wtth Senator McMillan practically mayor of Wash ington it will be a great thing for Manning to be associated in baseball with one of the sen lieutenants President Johnson said pos itively last night that a deal had not been closed but it appears likely that Detroit capital and Detroit men will break into the game through the medium of the Washington club "if nothing goes amiss George Burnham says the Western Association will be a go all rumors to the contrary notwith standing but it was noticed that the others failed to enthuse over the subject to any extept It is certain there will be no club here and embryo magnates do not care to invest their money in a fight in cities like St Paul and Minneapolis Boston might be added to the American League circuit thus leaving both Indianapolis and Buf falo out but It is said that Arthur Irwin will not be accepted by the American League so new backers must come to light there before there is danger of invading that city Regarding the report that Rusie 'will join an American League club President Johnson said he knew nothing of such a and does not expect to see the big pitcher in this circuit' It Is generally understood that Cincinnati will get Rusie and that is where President Johnson thinks he will play the coming season A meeting of the American League magnates will be held about the middle of the present month possibly in Philadelphia? at" hfch time some plans will come to light that will cause the
