This Is the Impression formed last nlnht nftf a talk with the former Treslrtent at tl homo of his brother. Henry W. Taft. Mr. Taft admitted that he was (living consideration to the baseball offer made him last Saturday by President Hemp stead, of thi (Slants, and President Fra Me, of the Boston Red Sox, but only In the capacity thnt he outlined In his tele Cram last Sunday night. ies. i nau a pleasant tone witn Mr, Jemnstead nnd Mr. Prniep on Satur day,'1 said Mr. Taft. "and I think I cov 'ered the ground entirely In the telegram I sent to the Punuc LEDonn on Sunday night. I outlined the points under which I said I might be able to consider the offer, and that remains my attitude. There also were different outside condi tions 1 linn spoke of, which must be taken In consideration. The situation, therefore, remains unchanged. I am giving the offer my consideration, but us vet have reached no decision." Mr, Taft wants to know Just what dutler the baseball people want him to fulfill an-1 Ui9 nature of the cases which he Would be obliged to decide. This Just now Is a delicate matter among the .club owners, who aro most desirous of bringing Mr. Taft Into baseball In some capacity. While such cases as those of George Rlsler and Scott Perry received a lot of publicity, the National Commission has handled hundreds of small cases which the general puhll'" never heanl of. and a man of Mr. Taft's caliber could not spare the time to hear such trivial cases. President Frazee, of the Boston club, yesterday expressed surprise that the other club owners did not show greater aptitude In grasping the importance of jirocurlng former 'President Taft's valu able services for baseball "I thought everybody would see what a wonderful thing It would be for base ball If we could Induce Mr. Taft to ac cept that position as arbitrator of base hall questions Whv, I thought the base hall men In the i:ast' would get un a npeclal party today to wait on air. Taft In New Haven and urge htm to accept our offer." Frazee exprossed fear that the ob jections of some of the club owners on inconscfluentlal grounds mlcht snoll the whole thing,- and that If Mr. Taft got ine idea tnat mere was lack or concord among the owners as to his (lllfntr the position he Immediately would decline. 11. i' razee especially said lie was sur prised at the stand of Connie Mack In Philadelphia. He Intimated Mack was one of the men who knew the offer would bo made to Taft. Frazeo and Hempstead havo sent tele grams to all club owners In their re spective leagues, urging them to wire Mr. Tnft Immediately at Now Haven, saying they hoped he would accept the position and that the former President could count on their ttnfiunlillml nunnnrt. It seems all the National league men. witn tne exception or Herrmann have sent or will send such? telegrams to Mr, raft. TWO TITLE RACES A. A.

Wood excelled for the losers, but "Liz" Towell was away off and missed many apparently easy chances. The result was a big surprise. The champion St. Columbas were forced to the limit to defeat S. P.

The olces didn't sound a bit pleasant. .She could picture In her mind how funny Judge Owl would look married to a wife with h shrewish shriek like the bride she heard. The airplane sped so fast that It quickly darted ahead of the lady Owls, catching up with Judge Owl just as he perched on a branch outside his own hollow tree. Whoo 'It love me? Whoo "11 love me?" Whoo'l share my hollow tree?" hooted the Judge loudly. Away off In the distance came a whistling shriek "To woo!" "Gracious, who Is thatr hooted Judge Owl. "A lady Owl coming to marry you and share your hollow tree." cried Peggy, stepping from the airplane which had landed below him. "Ooodness mc, I don't want Ho get married," hooted tho Judge In such a scared voice that Peggy had to giggle again. "Then why are you calling for a wltrV demanded Ullly Belgium. "That was only fun," replied the Judge. "I like to tease the ladles." "To ooo 1" came the shriek again, but now It was much nearer. "You picked out the wrong one to traso this time," declared Billy Belgium. "If I were you I'd get out of sight before she gets here." "You bet I will," hooted Judge Oul very ioltlvely. "1 don't want to marry a voice like that." Saying this. Judge Owl abruptly dled out of sight Into his hole. "We'd better hide, too," whispered Billy. "That lady Owl sounds like a terror and I don't want to get gobbled uj) by her." With Peggy ho quickly crept beneath a bush where they would be s.ifo from attack. No sooner had they gained this refuge than u great ruffled bird fluttered doun among the trees, alighting upon the ery limb where Judge Owl had been a moment before. The moon km behind her and Peggy and Dllly could see her outline perfectly. Peggy was astonished at the bird's slse, her bulging ears, her fierce beak, her frowning eyes. "It's a Great Horned Owl. Tho Judgo haa caught a tartsr with his little Joke, snickered Billy Belgium. "Waah-hu" squealed Miss Oreat Horn ed Owl. "I've come to marry you. Judge Owl Come out of that tree this Instant, before I Jerk you out." Out popped Judge Owl witn surprising promptness. "Why, how do you do. Miss Oreat Horned Owl?" he hootied. bowing ety politely. "Have you come for a call?" "I've come to live here If I like your hollow tree." shrieked Miss Great Horned Owl "I accept your proposal." "Ah-h-h," stammered the Judge, "I wasn't really proposing, you know. I was Just singing a song, and besides, my hollow tree Is altogether too small for you," "I'll decide that," shrieked Miss Oreat Horned Owl. "I'll take a look at it be fore I marry you." 'To bo sure, to be sure!" hooted the Judge polltlely. "Go right In." Miss Great Horned Owl needed no second Imttntlon, but squeesed into the tree. As she did so Judge pw! deftly drnpiK-d a stick eer the opening, but hurried away as fast as he could. "My, but that was a narrow escape." Peggy heard him mutter. But aen as he said It n snowy white figure fluttered down Into his path, and caught him In a feathery embrace, "My beloved. I heard you call, nnd I've hastened to you.
