John r.. Salisbury Is Happy But the

Chicago. ILL.,, July 10.-The happy
man of little Delaware is John Il.
Salisbury, and il Bryan ever enters
tho White House John i. ought 10 be
able to get anything be wants for his
friends Mr. Salisbury was one of the
first mon in the Bryan band wagon.
Indeed, II may BIO said no was the very
first man to vote for tho "Boy Orator
of the Platte"
In the alphabetical call of States
Delaware is fourth on the list, aud by
Bryan votes were recorded until Della
ware was reached. Then Chairman
Willard Salisbury announced the Del
aware vote as: Zone for Bryan; three
for PattisoD, and two not voting" n
]. +. Salisbury was the Bryan man.
The two who did not vote were Sona-
tor George Gray and Chairman Sauls-
bury, cousin of the other Salisbury.
William II. Boyce, II. O. Pennington
and DIR. Lewis voted for Pattison. So
that big, broad -shouldered John +,
felt pretty GOOD when the Nebraska
man won with such clatter and tlut-
ter. He says Delaware will be all right
in the campaign. Senator Gray is
silent on the subject of tho convention.
II seems to be too painful for him to
discuss.
Willard Salisbury says, with an evi-
IDENTIFY bad taste in his mouth: "We
arc going to hold State convention
in Delaware in few weeks to name
our electors. We shall have to abide
by the decision of that convention. +"

The Atlantic League Drops MIR. Freedman's
Club for Various Reasons.

tiub Ipr NhriDus hehtons.
At special meeting of the Atlantic
Base. ball League, in New York Friday
night, the Metropolitan Club was
dropped from membership for reasons
satisfactory to the members present.
The Athletics of Philadelphia were
elected in place of the Nets, and will
take up the Metropolitan's schedule.
The Athletics belonged to the dis
banded Pennsylvania League, and the
club is kindergarten for tho Phila
delphia National League Club, Just as
the Metropolitan was for the New
York Club.
New Haven was also dropped from
the Atlantic League map for various
reasons, the most pertinent being that
the members favored Lancaster,
another member of the unfortunate
Pennsylvania League. Lancaster takes
up New Haven g schedules.
In reference to the matter President
Crane said: can of the other members
were very sick of Mr.. Freedman g
methods, and we did not propose to
have our interests ruined altogether
through stubbornDess. In the first place.
the Nets have not paid up their dues,
and / may say that they are the only
club which has not.
"This is not the only thing, however.
From the very start Mr.. Freedman has
antagonized the other magnates He
has refused to pay the fines incurred
by his players in games. He has re-
fused admittance to his grounds to the
captain of the Wilmington team. Every
effort made by the magpates to better
themselves and the organization has
been blocked by him.
The trouble dates from June 18th.
when Freedman took on himself to lec-
ture the umpire of game at the Polo
ground between the Nets and Viii.
mingtons, whereupon tho captain OF
the latter suggested that Freedman
dom uniform if he desired to take
part in the game. In retaliation
Freedman barred the player from again
entering the Polo ground.

Some people are of the opinion that
the League Of American Wheelmen
will be called upon to try to suppress
road racing. Prominent l.. A. W. officials
talked with recently, say that as the
organization does not recognize such
sport that it might be- considered un-
becoming for the L. A. W 10 take any
official recognition of the matter. Road
races this year have been SO unsatis.
factory-there have been so much

is really SO dangerous-that the chances
are the local authorities will, in time,
put u stop to the practice.
