JUDGE GRAY MAY GET
. SUPREME COURT VACANCY
Believed That President Will
Appoint Him to Succeed
Justice Harlan

Washington, Oct. s. - President
Roosevelt is believed to have decided
to offer the next supreme court va
cancy to a Democrat, and It isAalso be
lieved that Democrat will be Judge
George Gray, Of Delaware. who has
been prominently mentioned in con
nection with the Democratic nomina-
ton for president
Judge Gray was a caller at the
White House and took lunch with the
president and Justices Harlan and
McKenna, of the supreme court, were
among the White House callers. Jus.
tice Harlan is now eligible for retire.
ment. having reached the age of 20
last June and having been on the SUI
preme bench over % years. 1t is be
lieved he contemplates early retire.
ment.
Judge Gray is not a resident OF the
circuit from which Justice Harlan
comes, which includes Ohio. Kentucky
and West Virginia, but that circuit re
ceived the last appointment to the su.
preme bench. when Judge Day, OF
Ohio, succeeded Justice Shiras, OF
Pennsylvania.
BY taking Judge Gray from the cir
cult which Includes Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware to succeed Judge
Harlan. the way would be left clear
to appoint Judge Taft of Ohio. to the
next vacancy on the supreme court
which is expected to be made by the
retirement of Chief Justice Fuller In
the next year or two. 1t has been un
derstood for some time that it Is
Judge Taft's ambition to succeed the
chief Justice.

Several Rainy Days.

The two principal reasons for this Is
owing to the fact that there has been an
unusually large number Of rainy days. es-
peclaly Saturdays. and The team has also
been a much higher salarled one than last
year. Under the circumstances Manager
Barton has made an excellent showing.
Another drawback was the poor show
ing made by the team the frs: Of the sea-
son which was great DISAPPOINTMENT
to many of the rooters. There was plenty
Of good material TO start with. but for
various reasons the wedding out process
had to be started early. One Of the great
est disappointments no the rooters. as
well as Manager Barton was the poor
work Of "Chick" Tierney. one OF the most
popular players in the city and Catcher
Hartman. compared with the gilt edge
playing they both did at Front and Union
streecs ehe year previous. Many player
has been heard to remark that South Side
Park Is one of the hardest heids in this
section on which to play a good game,
and this may be the reason that Tierney
and Hartman did not make good.
Among other misfortunes that befeal the
team was the injury received by Jimmy
lO'Neil on Decoration Day, which practl-
cany put him out Of the game for the
season. Sarsaeld. who would have been d
tower Of strength by his hard hitting wal
