PRESIDENT
American Association Meets
and Elects Officers —168-
Game Schedule.
Associated Press.
Chicago, Jan. 13.—Thomas M. Chlv
ington was re-elected president of
the American Baseball association at
The meeting held here yesterday. He
also will serve as secretary and treas
urer of the organization, while Wm.
Armour, owner of the Toledo club,
will act as vice president. The elec
tions of both were unanimous. They
were elected for one year.
After election, President Chivlng
ton named a committee to draft a
168 game schedule for the 1911 sea
son, which will open April 12, with
the western clubs appearing on the
eastern fields. It was decided to book
no doubleheaders in the schedules, al
though postponed games will be
doubled up later in the season. The
playing season, President Chivington
announced, probably would run a
week or so longer than the 1910 sea
son.
Pump
and
The club owners decided to have
each club make four swings around
the circuit instead of three, thus
breaking up the schedule to three
game series and giving each club
more games at home. The plan of
arranging a four-jump schedule is an
innovation in this league, as it has
been the custom since the inception
of the American asoclation for each
club to make but three trips of the
circuit during the season.
The plan of invading Chicago with
a club was not discussed although It
had been reported that an option had
been secured on the north side with
the view of launching a team to
fight the National and American
League clubs in Chicago.

CORPUS BEACH 2a SS a -
“The Finest All-Year Surf-Bathing Beach in the World.”
If you want one of these lots you had better act now. Not because an increase in price is threatened at present, but
because there are not many of them left.
There were but a small number of lots to start with. Most of them are gone. During the past few weeks 731 of them
were sold—many of them to San Antonians. All arrangements for the building of the Corpus Beach Hotel—the finest estab
lishment of its kind along the entire coast of the Gulf of Mexico—have now been made, and in a few weeks ground for >
the structure will be broken.
The only reason why cottage lots at Corpus Beach are still advertised is that their quick disposal is desired. They
would sell anyway.
Lots in the cottage town of Corpus Beach are $5OO and range from 50x90 to 50x130 in size. The property is restricted
in harmony with its purpose. It will be a cottage town of the best possible character. .
The best that has been said for the climate of the Corpus Christi country applies to Corpus Beach in an accentuated
decree. Throughout the year the Gulf breeze blows, making the summers cool and the winters warmer even than
latitude provides.
Corpus Beach has the finest, cleanest and safest bathing beach to be found anywhere. It has every facility for all kinds
of outdoor sports on land or water, and, last, but not least, it has transportation and every other modern convenience. Cor
pus Beach can be reached not only by rail, but by a splendid automobile road from San Antonio to Corpus Christi.
And the Corpus Beach Hotel will give to the cottage town entertainment facilities that cannot be hoped for else
where. For further particulars apply to
