SEASON OF THE BASEBALL rIEND
whats the Score ?" the Universal
Question of the Hour.

Question of the Hour
This is the season of the year
when the baseball fend scampers to
the center of the stage" said the
growler, "and you will find that un-
der the most trying circumstances,
when mems minds are busted with
other things, when men are really
pondering over the more serious T<ob-
lens of lite, he will fall into the con-
versation suddenly as If he had drop
ped through the skylight, and ask:
10 you know what the score was to-
day? Here is a crowd of gentlemen
discussing some serious question of
state, and they are weighing problems
of great import, and they are grave
and sedate and wear worried looks,
when suddenly the base ball fiend
busters into the crowd and asks:
DO you know what the score was to-
day" Go into the newspaper office.
The wires are all busy carrying the
story of some fearful disaster some
where which has resulted in the dea,h
of thousands of persons, when sud
denly the telephone rings, and an ex-
cited fellow at the other end of the
line asks, viii you please tell me
what the score was to-day?' That's
the way it goes. 1t is simply one of
the things of the season, and suppose
a man ought to be patient with it all,
for we all have our little weaknesses" &"

JOIN To FIGHT CROKER
HILL AND ATLAUGHLIN FORM AN ALLl-
E-NOMINATION OF COLER
FOR GOVERNOR A POS
SIBLE OUTCOME.

Ex-senator David b. Hill and Hugh McLaugh-
lin. the veteran boss of the Kings County Demo-
cratic organization have. according to the Hill
men, made an offensive and defensive alliance
which is expected 20 last throughout the next
State campaign. The compact includes the nom
ination of ex-Controller Bird S. Coler for Gov
ernor if it is deemed wise when the State Con-
vention meets to choose a Kings County man.
The alliance however. Is not primarily for Mr.
Colers benefit 1t is for the purpose of pre-
venting Richard Croker from dominating the
next State convention. James Shevlin delivered
the Kings County delegation to Croker in 100.
and Hill had hard time in getting single vote
from below the Harlem. Such shut-out for
Hill is not going to happen again If Mr.. Hill
can prevent it by early planning.
The recent breakup in Tammany, causing the
retirement of Lewis Nixon. has disgusted the
more influential Democrats in Brooklyn. At the
same time, ii made 1t plain sailing for ex-Sen-
ator Hill when he wanted TO reform the alliance
that served his purposes so we'll fifteen years
ago.
Mr.. Hills friends do not believe that Richard
Croker has left Tammany Hall with the inten-
tion of never resuming the leadership. They
believe he will come back not later than the
fall of 1908. and perhaps the coming fali, ready
to the State organization il he can control

the fences fixed that Croker cannot break
through.
