Arrive.
master of Troop No. 1, Boy
Scouts of Asheville.
The work of the players who have
arrived here for the spring tryouts
Roes merrily on, the men having been
on the Held at Oaten park twice yester
day, again litis morning and will go
down this afternoon. The ground is i
getting in good shape, with the excep
tion of the outfield, which still remains
a bit soggy in places, but it is believed
that With the sunshine of today that
this too will soon dry up and can be
used to good advantage.
The elimination work is expected to
lie started by Manager Louis Cook this
week, perhaps about the last day or
two of the week and next week in it
will continue until Asheville has se
lected its regular roster of 13 men.
There are il men signed for tryouts
for the Asheville team and it is be
lieved that no trouble will be experi
enced in selecting the men to compose
the aggregation that will represent
this city in the struggle for the pen
nant of the North Carolina league of
Professional Baseball clubs.
The local fans are showing their
loyalty already, for each day large
numbers of them journey down to
Oates park and watch the boys go
through the work of playing ball.
Encouraging words are heard on every
side and every fan seems to think it
his duty to give the very best of ad
vice and encouragement to the new
men who are here.
Yesterday afternoon three players
reported for the tryouts, making In all
something over 20 men now here.

As was announced In The finzette
News several weeks ago. the new uni
forms for the Asheville players arrived
this week and several of the players
spent much time yesterday looking
them over and making admiring re
marks about the new colors of the
suits.
Secretary T. St. Duekett has Just
received 3B,fiil tickets to. be used for
grandstand seats during the games to

ber of tickets for the grand stand.
but he states that even this amount
may not be enough and will not be
surprised to have to send nn order for
more before the season Is over
Information received in the . Ity last
night was to the effect that Hcotl K.
Chestnut, who officiated as an umpire
in the Carolina league last year, has
been appointed nn umpire in the
Southern league. It was stated that
Chestnut landed the position over the

tion to J. M. Lorick.
Rear. J. Brainard Thrall, pastor of
the First Congregational church, has
received his commission from the
national headquarters, 3oy Scouts of
America, as scoutmaster of troop No.
1 of Asheville, Buncombe county. Mr.
Thrall was for years actively interest
ed in the Boy Scout work in Irfices
ter. Mass., where he was a scoutmas
ter, and he is given the same number
as scoutmaster here that was former
ly accorded him in Leicester. His
commission bears the signatures of
Charles H. Livingston, president; Em
mit Thompson Seton, scout chairman;
Dan Beard, national scout commis
sioner; James K. West, chief scout
executive; and Woodrow Wilson,
William H. Taft and Theodore Roose
velt, honorary presidents.
In making application for this com
mission, Mr. Thrall sent in a list of
2 1 boys who had passed the tender
foot test. Since that time five or
six boys have joined the troop and
successfully passed the test. The
names of these have been sent In sep
arately. He expressed hope today
that there will be a number of others
He is enthusiastic over the prospects
to Join within the very near future
for the work here, especially about
the personal of the troop.
After all memlwrs of the troop have
successfully passed the tenderfoot
test, they will begin training for the
second degree of perfection. There
is only one other regular degree be
yond this, that of First Class scout
although there are a number of spe
cial merit certificates for accomplish
ments along special lines. The boys
are taking a most active Interest in
the work, Mr. Thrall says, and he is
confident that they will reach the le-
ree of First Linss scouts in record
time.

was sold at public auction at noon yea
terday for J26.7D0. the successful bid
der being J. M. lorlck, an Asnevme
real estate man. Lorick stated that he
bid in the property for a client of Sa
vannah but refused to make any state
ment as yet as to what proposed devel
opments, if any, will be made In the
property. No statement was made,
either, as to whether the property was
purchased as an investment or for
purposes of speculation.
This block faces on West College
street and was erected in 1906 by L
Blomberg. It is considered one ofMhe
best buildings in that Immediate sec
tion of the city and real estate men
consider the property a good invest
ment as that section of the city Is ex
pected to grow wonderfully within the
next few years as a business center.
The sale this morning was effected
through the Southern Land Auction
company. The sale had been widely
advertised for some time and there
was a big crowd present. There were
a number of bidders and the contest
for a while was fast. The Auction
com pan v offered a prise of $20 in
gold to persons guessing nearest the
price to be paid for the property. This
prize was won jointly by R. J. Worley
and Jake Blomberg. both of Asheville.
Each guessed the amount exactly that
was finally bid for the property. There
were numbers of other guesses within
a lew dollars of the amount.

Wyatt Building,
Washington, April t
At a conference between Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo and Senator
Simmons Wednesday, the question of
who shall bo appointed collector of
customs for the port of Wilmington
was discussed at great length, It de
veloped that Mr. McAdoo was still
strongly in favor of the appointment
of his personal friends, M. F. H.
Gouvenier, and that Senator Simmons
was equally insistent upon the nam
ing of his choice. Col. Walker Taylor,
whom he had already recommended
for the job.
Senator Simmons told the secretary
that he would not even listen to the
discussion of any other man for Col
lector Keith's Job; that Colonel Tay
lor was bis choice and was fitted in
every way to fill the office to the sat
isfaction of everyone.
The senior senator explained to Mr.
McAdoo that the appointment of a
collector at Wilmington was his pa
tronage, and that he had after care
ful consideration, decided that Col
onel Taylor should have the place.
On the other hand Mr. McAdoo
told Mr. Simmons that Gouvenier was
the man whom he wanted to have the
job. He said that he was a personal
friend to Mr. Gouvenier. and had a
personal Interest in seeing him ap
pointed. Mr. Simmons could not bo con
vinced, however, that Gouvenier
should succeed Keith; and the senior
senator left the treasury department
under the impression that Taylor
would certainly get the place.
Colonel Taylor will be in Washing
ton in a few days and will be pre-
! sented to Mr. McAdoo.
Senator Simmons paid another visit
