REPUBLICANS READY
FOR CITY CAMPAIGN
Continued from page One.

The city convention will probably bs
held on the 10Th Inst. which is the latest
date under the law upon which the ticket
can be chosen. The primaries for city
council will be held Thursday evening
Goth inst. and there is promise OF lively
developments in some OF the wards, nota-
bly, the Second and Sixth, especially In
the latter as Messrs Lake and Leonard
are TO retire, Alderman Freeman may re-
ceive the nominations for mayor and the
crop OF candidates IL legion.
GREATLY DISTURBED.
The executive committee OF the Prohib-
itory State Central committee are great
~ disturbed over the probable death OF
their gubernatorial candidate Hon.
Henry b. Metcalf, which will necessitate
another selection and additional nomina-
ton papers In order TO obtain recognition
upon the official ballot
The decease OF Mr.. Metcalf will be a
severe blow 10 the temperance cause in
this state as 1t has been practically kept
alive through his benevolent and indus
trious agency for several years and In
the ranks OF the party there Is not a rep
resentative man OF means and influence
TO serve as his successor However. as
the Prohibitionists have seldom given
their undivided vote to their party ticket
in recent elections az least they will
probably cast their ballots this year eith-
er for Gov. Garvin or Lieut.. Governor
Utter. both Of whom are staunch Prohibi-
tionlsts, even IL by so doing they risk the
loss OF their political Identity as was the
case last year when they gave TO their
gubernatorial candidate only aSs OF their
estimated 20o0 votes.
> NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS
There are no new developments in @he
Democratic mayoralty situation Messrs
Barr and Dorney still hold daily and
nightly conferences, but the task OF pre-

CORNELL NINE GETTING IN SHAPE.
Bad Weather Has Prevented Practice-Some
Weakness Shown.

Ithaca. n. Y. April q (SpeciaD.-Ths continued
cold weather has kept the Cornell baseball team
from holding any real practice since the return OF
the men from the trip South. and before the
trip there was chance for outdoor work In
Ithaca, the ability Of the nine is still an unknown
quantity. For the last week snow has covered the
Percy Field diamond most of the time and only
occasionally have the men been able to play.
Although the Southern trip did little toward
developing team play 1t showed that there were
several positions which need strengthening at once
if Cornell is to have any chance OF beating Prince
ton Pennsylvania this spring. Braman at first
base was decided disappointment, and Coach
Jennings has been trying to find man who can
cover that bag in better style. Preston. sophO-

best batter Of the three and will probably be used
in right field when he does not pitch.
The infeld is composed of new faces this year,
three being freshmen. Brown, who came TO Cor
nell from Lawrencevtlle, is the best third baseman
the team has had I'm four years, and is likely TO be
as useful a man as Lewis was at shortstop. Wiley
another freshman from Indiana polls has taken the
position of Lewis at short and is filling the place
creditably. Rice the halfback OF the football team
is covering second base, and adds considerably to
the strength of the infield. As a satisfac-
