Once one of the best preachers in

TEXAS PANHANDLE.
That is the Subject Discussed Be-
fore Scientific Society Last Night.
The Delimination of the Texas Pan-
handle. an Exciting Incident in Amer-
ican history was the subject discus-
sed before the Scientific society last
night by Wilillam J. Spillman A. M.
cf the High School faculty.
Mr. Spillman reviewed the annexa-
tion of Texas as a political and na-
tional issue the causes of the Mexi-
can war. the relation of slavery to
the. territorial expansion resulting
from the treaty of Guadalupe Hid-
algo. the defeat of the compromise
bill of 1850 as a comi>osite measure
and the final delimitation of the Pan-
handle under the provision of the
Pierce bill and closed with the hope
that Texas having once surrendered
so vast an area in the interest of
national harmony shall for the fuutre
remain indivisable.

QUESTIONS FOR
THE OARSMEN
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF NA-
TIONAL ASSOCIATION MEETS
IN NEW YORK SATURDAY.
ROW AT JAMESTOWN
It lc Expected Annual Regatta Will Go
to Exposition City—Quarrels Ai.
so to Be Settled.
Associated Press.
New Yov March 13. —The <»<cn-
tiie commitiee of the National Asso-
ciation of Amateur Oarsmen will con-
sider several important matters at its
annual meeting at the New York Ath-
letic club on Saturday. Chief of these
will be the selection of the place and
the date for the annual regatta of the
association. The Jamestown exposi-
tion and Philadelphia it is expected
will be the only active candidates for
the regatta but Saratoga and Boston
may be aspirants. It is probable that
Jamestown will obtain the honor.
Decisions will be rendered by the com-
mittee upon the West-National asso-
ciation case and the Riverside Boat
club-New York Athletic club. The
former involves a demand by W. L.
West a Philadelphia sculler for an
investigation of his standing because
of an alleged teller from the National
association to the Henley (England)
stewards last year saying that he was
only a mediocre oarsman and did not
adequately represent American row-
ing interests. West competed at Hen-
ley.
The other case consists of a charge
by the New York club that the Bos-
ton club allowed three oarsmen who
were not what they purported to be
to compete in the row over for the
eight oared shells championship on
Lake Quinsigamond Mass. last year.

BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR THE FANS
THE BASEBALL SITUATION I
SAN ANTONIO IS VERY EN-
COURAGING.
BRONCHOS* PRACTICE
Men Start by Tossing Ball Around.
Then Pitchers Take Turns Fac-
ing the Batters.
The base ball situation in San An-
tonio is very encouraging. The boys
go out regularly every afternoon to
practice anil their work is rapidly as-
suming championship form. The reg-
ular practice routine is now on. The
men start out by tossing the ball
around then the pitchers take their
turns facing the batters about ten
minutes each. Every man who hits
a ball tried to beat it out to first
base getting speed thereby. When all
the pitchers have taken their turn
fielding practice begins two men hit-
ting to the out-field and one to the
intleld.
This is the routine for the first
week. This work will be modified to
some extent next week when Mana-
ger La Rocque will be able to get into
uniform himself. At present he is
busy fixing up the ball park but he
will take hold of the men next week.
The boys are taking it rather easily
but they are working faithfully. There
is no need for them to rush yet
awhile and run the risk of laming
themselves.
Sam Stovall was out for the first
time yesterday and his batting eye is
keener than ever. Outfielder and
Change Catcher Loman will leave his
home at Atchison Kas. on March 19
to join the Bronchos. Outfielder
George Leidy who was the leading
outfielder in the Cotton State league
with a stick average of .291 last year
will not join until April 12. He is
coaching the Marion Institute of Ala-
bama and has with him one of the
likely youngsters signed to pitch this
season for the Bronchos. The young
man’s name is Wheeler and Manager
La Rocque expects great things from
him.
All that the diamond now needs is
a big steam roller. Will someone with
a baseball spirit and a 20-ton roller
please step forward? Come early and
avoid the rush.
The electric park management dis-
claims all blame for the departure of
the Browns. The base ball associa-
tion also denies any fault in the mat-
ter. Will somebody step forward and
tell who is to blame? All the papers
in town last winter announced the
scheduled visit of the St. Louis team
and ignorance on that point should
not be accepted in bar of action.
EVENTS ON THE
GOLF LINKS
F. M. LEWIS DEFEATED J. S. LOCK-
WOOD—FOR THIRD ROUND OF
PRESIDENTS CUP CONTEST.
Yesterday afternoon on the links of
the San Antonio Golf and Country
club F. M. Lewis defeated J. S. Lock-
wood in an 18-hole golf contest. The
game was a pretty one and a bunch
cf enthusiasts followed the contest-
ants around the course.
About four couples will take part
in the third round of the contest for
the president's cup. The players are
settling down to harder work in prepa-
ration for the final rounds.
Not a day now passes that does not
see a large crowd present at the golf
links. Residents of thd city and
strangers alike the pleasant w’eather
and the course.
There is no better salmon canned
at any price than Argo. One trial

BOWLING NOTES.
The David Crockett Bowling club
had a practice game last night on
the Mission garden alleys.
Tne Owls held down the Sommer
alleys last night for their regular
Tuesday night practice.
The game that should have been
howled between the Saps and K club
last night on the Beethoven alleys
was postponed.
The ten pin tournament is attract-
ing many entries. The first games
wil. be bowled tonight.
The San Antonio Turn Verein has
changed the family bowling night
from Thursday to Wednesday. The
change is made because a great num-
ber of the members of the bowling
section also belong to the Teutonta
singing society a section of the San
Antonio Turn Verein. A regular
cause game would Interfere with
the rehearsals of the latter.

ROLLER SKATES
SENSATIONAL ACT PERFORMED
AT THE PRINCESS RINK BY
PROFESSOR STEELE.
Last> night at the Princess Rink was
witnessed perhaps one of the greatest
sensations of the hour that of Profes-
sor Steele leaping a 20 foot gap.
The attendance was very large and
enthusiastic. When the act was com-
pleted Professor Steele received deaf-
ening and prolonged applause.
At 9 o’clock the incline which is
feet long was mounted and with
much grace and ease Professor Steele
descended at a rapid pace. When the
gap of 21% feet was reached with the
agility of a squirrel Professor Steele
sailed over It and successfully alighted
on the further platform. The crowd
cheered vigorously and was relieved of
anxiety to know that no misfortune
came to the daring skater.
Tonight the same act will be re-
peated with the exception that the
house will be darkened and the leap
made through a wall of fire. In doing
this. Professor Steele takes his life in
his own hands. It is iinticipated that
an immense crowd will witness thi§
sensational act.
Tomorrow night will be the "grand
mask carnival.”

NO BAR TO BUILDERS.
Architects Do Not Want to Prevent
Them From Designing Houses.
At a meeting of the San Antonio So-
ciety of Architects a statement was
Issued explaining the society’s posi-
tion in aiding in the enactment of a
law restricting the class of persons
who shall be allowed to make draw-
ings and specifications. The explana-
tion was the result of a report to the
effect that the proposed law was in-
tended to interfere with contractors
and to prevent them from making
drawings.
' The explanation glveu out by the ar-
chitects follows:
"We have been discussing in otir
meetings to get a bill licensing archi-
tects but we did not wish or expect to
keep any builder owner or anyone
from making their own plans and
specifications. We beg to publish a
portion of the bill as we had outlined
ft which will give your readers the
correct Idea: ~
♦ * * “ ‘but nothing contained in
this act shall be construed to prevent
any mechanic or builder from making
plans or specifications for. or super-
vising the erection enlargement or al-
terations of. any building that is to be
constructed by himself.’ • • *
"The object of the bill is to insure
in all buildings improvement of gen-
eral sanitation and ventilation; to pro-
vide for their better construction and
more fire resisting qualities and to
aid in th<- beautifying of our cities.
"The bill is intended to license ar-
chitects to assure the public that
when one practices as an architect he
be depended upon as a competent
designer.
"The following are some of the
states requiring architects to be li-
censed:. Tllinins New York Washing-
ton. Massachusetts California and
Ohio."

SHOWS COMING
AND GOING
“The Free Lance” Tonight.
A new comic opera by John Philip
Sousa is always a matter of interest
to the American public so when we
are promised the best and most stir-
ring composition that has ever been
evolved by the American “march
king” that much hackneyed expression
in theatrical parlance “a notable
event" is apt to be justified upon the
occasion of the appearance of the
Sousa Opera Company in the military
comic opera “The Free Lance” .to-
night and Thursday.
It will be presented bv Klaw & Er-
langer with Joseph Cawthorn as the
stellar feature of the original cast
which numbers 75 and which in-
cludes besides that inimitable come-
dian such well known favorites as Nel-
la Bergen. Jeanette l.owrie Albert
Hart George Tallman George Schiller
Stanley Murphy and a host of others
of like prominence.
The book and lyrics of “The Free
Lar-ce” are by Harry B. Smith and is
said to he the best that has evolved
from his pen since his great success
with "Robin Hood.’’ “The Free Lance"
is described as being a real comic
opera packed full of dashing and me
lodious music far above the average
of what is heard upon the comic opera
stage today and livened with enter-
taining comedy situations and ex-
tremely funny dialogue and complica-
tions presenting to the eye beautiful
pictures of scenic settings and cos-
tumes.
Majestic.
As dainty and legitimate as a Froh-
man curtain raiser is "A Sage Brush
Widow” the one act playlet of west-
ern atmosphere which is being pre-
sented at the Majestic theater this
week by those well known dramatic
stars Joseph J. and Myra Davis Dowl-
ing. The broad minded free little
western woman is a splendid type of
the perfect independent American ladv
such as can be found on many a west-
ern ranch and though her romantic
ideas may have enhanced the crude
glories of the cowboy her heart is not
so far misplaced and her woman’s
judgment not so slow as to keep her
from readily recognizing his defects
and Mr. Fitzwarmington from Boston.
Is the right man to show up to her
feet of clay that her hero in spurs and
combrero walks upon and to win her
heart against herself. “A Sage Brush
Widow” is rightly named for the not
unpleasant scent of the familiar desert
hsrub is in everyone’s nostrils during
the act. Mrs. Davis Dowling is perfect
as the widow and Joseph Dowling is
a revelation tn his dual character studv
of Horace Fitzwarmington and Alkali
Ike. Mr. and Mrs. Dowling may right-
fully be called western stars for their
greatest successes have been in plays
of western life such as "The Req
Spider” and "Nobody's Claim." Other
attractions on the bill this week are
Charlie Sharp musical monolognist;
C. W. Williams ventriloquist: The
Fernande May Duo. in musical novel-
ties; Delmore and Darrel) singing and
dancing artists and Meehan and his
celebrated dogs. New pictures are

Mr. Whitecar and his able company
gave an agreeable presentation of this
popular drama last night to a fair-
sized audience. Mr. Leo Herbert
White’s portrayal of the Sicilian char-
acter was. of course the attractive
feature. The companv was balanced
with fair evenness and unusually hear-
ty appreciation was manifested.
