'resident liaum announced that he bad been re-elected president-secretary-treasurer and that the magnates had agreed to give the league another chance. It Is evident, however, that there will wholesale changes and conditions will be different. The California League will cease to be a haven for old-timtra and in their stead will he employed youngsters with a chance of developing in the Coast League. 4 haaaea Are Aaanuaced. Practically every club will have new man in charge of affairs. Tom Stephens says that Walter Nagle will be deposed at ian Jose, but he has not selected a successor, although be will make an attempt to get Ueacon Ian Buren from Sacramento.

Vallejo or Bakersfield. Jack Thomas will not be at Stock ton, and Happy Hogan had a long talk with Doc Moskiman today relative to placing the old Slate League favorite in command.

At that time the schedule and circuit will be made up. F.xpeaaea Pay Drop. Magnates say they are going to see bout rutting down expenses in trans portation and salaries will not run so high In the future. Something like J6,00u was dropped in he venture last ceason and a number of reforms will be Pl.t in force. Tlicy feel that they were held up In many quarters and lost money unnecessarily. The pennant was formally awarded to Stockton, and Happy Hogan re sponded with a speech. Kd Maier was absent, being detained in the south on business. During the session a telegram was received from Kitty Brashear, the ex Coast Leaguer, fiiing his application for two Jobs. He seeks to be a Coast Leacue umpire or a manager in the California League. Kitty will be dis appointed in his umpiral aspirations, for President Baum does not Intend to take a chance with an inexperienced nian, but it is possible that Brashear win be considered In a managerial ca pacity. Kitty managed the Vancouver club a couple of seasons ago and pulled down a pennant. tjuLa. 1RA-IXE TO CAPTAIN" JEFFERSON (Quarterback AVIns Ite-clectlon. Heads of Other Teams Xot Xnmed.
