Something About the Men
Who We're Nominated by
the Democracy.
Harry Hawkins, Peter Nelson,
Joseph Leicht and Judge
Nethaway All Strong.
Buck, Canty and Mitchell
and the Hold They Have
Upon the People.
Democrats to a Man Pleased
With the Ticket and Con-
fident Of Victory.

The Democrats of Minnesota are feel
ing decidedly happy at present. The
state ticket named Wednesday at Min
neapolis is filled with strong men who
are known and respected in their
homes, as we'll as throughout the state.
But this is not all the reasons the Dem
ocrats have for feeling confident and
Jubilant over the situation. AS rule,
the day following the nomination of a
state ticket by the convention of a great
political party is devoted to grumbiing
and what is commonly called "kicking."
This was well illustrated at the recent
Republican convention, and the pro-
tests against the cut and dried slate
ratified and Endorsed in the Peoples
church week ago have not yet ceased.
and are not likely to until the polls
have closed on election day.
How different is the situation in the
Democratic party! For once the voice
of defeated f0ction is not heard. and for
the simple reason that there are and
there were no defeated factions. There
were straightforward and honorable
contests for places on the ticket, but
every man who had aspirations had
fair show, and whether defeated or
nominated, was satisfied. No states
were presented TO the convention for
ratification, and the delegates them
selves did the work for which they were
called together. The result of this is
that the strongest possible ticket was
nominated, and every Democrat feels
happy over the result. The Democratic
party of Minnesota is harmonious and
un tied, and it has no BOSSES.
OF the ticket that was placed in the
fell too much cannot be said. 1t is well
distributed over the state and all local
tiles are represented and ably repre-
sented. The able, eloquent and manly
head of the ticket is too we'll known to
all the people Of the state 10 need any
Introduction to them. Ills record is so
honorable and clean that all the voters
Of the state, whether for him or not, cali
not help feeling a high degree of pride
that the Democratic party has such a
man to present. And Mr.. LAWYERS
companions on the ticket are all of the
same high type and character.

AT Worcester, Mass, the mills OF the Pratt

A LONG SEASON.
Most OF the New League Clubs Favor 154
Games Each.

Most OF the New League Clubs Favor 154
Games Each.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-[SpeciaL 1.-The next
great work to be done in the baseball world
is the building of schedule for the new
league. This may seem an easy task to
some, but only the initiated can appreciate
the trouble in store for the committee hav-
ing the matter in charge. President Jim
Hart, OF the local club, is a member of the
committee, and he lies awake of nights now
thinking OF the work ahead of him.
The majority of the members Of the league
favor a schedule of l5i games for each club,
or IA with each of its felows. This may be
all right, but Jim has figured out that in
order to play that many games the season
open until October TO- The mere idea OF
baseball here April draws an involuntary
shudder from local crank, who has sat and
shivered in the bleachers May l. President
Hart thinks. however, that the lake cities
mig hit be given 4 wide berth until the sunny
days of May, and that the season could be
opened easily enough early in April in
Washington, Baltimore. Louisville St.
Louis, Cincinnati and PittSburg He be-
lieVes the clubs could he kent moving on Il
circuit made up of those cities until late in
April. Then the Chicago club could work
East if necessary, and thus delay the open
which would be just as well. Experience
has shown that May l is entirely too early
to open in the lake cities, and for that matter
October 10 is entirely too late to close in
them. The schedule promises to give the
league some trouble.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-The Board of Con-
troll met at its headquarters in the Cumber-
street, this afternoon. There was very
long and highly entertaining session, al
though little leaked through to the public.
The bookmaker question was discussed,
but nothing was settled in the matter.
James Rowe formally accepted the position
of official starter, and the license of Jockey
McDernnott, who rode at Gutenberg, was
revoked.
The following jockeys were granted Ii
censes: George Evans, Jr., William Blake,
Anthony H amilton, Joseph Connolly, Jacob

1t is understood in horse-racing circles
here this evening that very stringent meas
ures are to be enforced during this year to
purge the tracks of fraud. Bookmakers
will be under rigid supervision. The men,
bers of the Board or Control are satisfied
that winter racing has been dealt blow
that will soon kill it. They mean to fight
it to the death. 1t il not likely that Hugh
Penney, the jockey signed by Captain S. S.

Baseball Notes.

BURDoCK. the old Boston second baseman, wants
TO be League umpire.
IF the local club loses both Grimm and Lyons,
Elmer Smith will likely play in the field.
IF Manager Chapman arrives IN the city to-day
he might do worse than have a business talk with
Catcher Berger.
PRESIDENT ROBINSON, of Cleveland, may have
more explanations to make in reply TO Manager
Buckenbergers letter.
1T is very probable that President Robinson's IS
letter was written with the full understanding that
1t should be made public.
IT is stated that Manager Barnie wants to trade
Hardie Richardson for an intielder. Pittsburg had
better offer Arthur Whitney.
LEW SIMMONS. the old minstrel who part
owner of the ill-fated Athletics. has gone back to
the fmpersonation of negro character.

interest in the national game.
NEW YORK has cast off Catchers Burrcll and

ter, are twirlers Taylor. Sharrott and Van Zant.
ONE error in President Young's official list of
baseball PLAYERS has been discovered. and thar. too.
in favor of the New York club. Catcher Moran,
who played with the Joliet (In) club last year and
who was signed by Mutrie in September for the
Giants. was assigned to ST. Louis by the League
committee according to all published accounts.
But President Young, of the League. day or two
ago wrote to the local officials that Moran belonged
to them and would play in New York next season
or nowhere. Moran is clever youngster who has
an excellent record.

The Officials OF the Locs1 Club Favor
Three Trips TO Each CITY.

Secretary Scandrett yesterday returned
the local clubs answers to the questions
sent out by the Schedule Committee referred
TO in this paper yesterday. The club is in
favor OF three trips, that is, to play three
games the first trip at each city, and two on
each of the next trips. This arrangement it
is considered will be beneficial to Pittsburg.
The Secretary also requested that the
Pittsburg team play in Boston Decoration
Day and Bunker Hill Day; that New York,
Boston or Brooklyn play here on July 4:
that games be played here Labor Day, and
that Chicago or st. Louis open the season in
this city. 1t will be seen that plenty has
been asked for, but there is nothing for
being shy nowadays.

Mr.. Kerr, of the local baseball club. states
that if the new League directors refuse to
allow either Grimm or Lyons to play in
Pittsburg next season, the court will be ap-
pealed to. Efforts will be made to prevent
either of the players from playing in Penn
sylvania.
1t may and may not be the intention of
the local club to act as stated by Mr.. Kerr,
but going to court is very important mat
ter and will in the1ong run do no good, be-
cause if the Pttsburg club was to get the
players the League could make matters
worse than they ever were.
