SHIFT OF TAWNEY
not SELF.SOUGHT
Congressman Is Expected to Urge
McCleary's Promotion, Not
His Own Transfer.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. .27.--In the interest
of fair play all around, it should be eX-
planned that the suggestion recently
made in this correspondence to the ef-
Representative Tawney of Minnesota
the chairman Of the appropriations COM
mittee in the next congress, transfer
ring Mr.. McCleary to Mr.. Tawney's
place on the ways and means commit
tee, did not come, directly or indirectly,
from Mr.. Tawney. This suggestion has
been made to the speaker detSy by "a aemfee per
posed of, and Mr.. Tawney has had
nothing to do with it.
1t is believed here, that when the
proper time comes, Mr.. Tawney VIII
say publicly that he does not desire -. the
he is for Mr.. McCleary for that posi-
ton, and will heartily. join with the
other members of the Minnesota dele
cation in asking that the speaker favor
him. Mr.. Tawney's committee assign
ments are perfectly satisfactory to hlm,
and l understand that he does not de-
sire to make change. ~
Tawney for Speakership.
1t is we'll understood here that Taww-
ney will be a candidate for the speak
ership on the retirement OF Speaker
| Cannon, and that he will have large
following; His present position on on the ne
much Of stepping stone to the speak
ership as the chairmanship OF the ap'
preparations committee wotld be.
The appropriations committee matter
is causing the speaker much worry
That Mr.. McCleary will get the place
hardly seems probable at this time. anc
yet it is too early to speak definitely dfd4 Y,
chances are fattering. At the same
time, however, he came to the commit
tee only four years ago, and the fac1
that in that time he has gone from thu
foot almost to the top, wholly thru thu
operation Of the rule Of seniority, show
impoverished. It is now made VI, al
most entirely of new members of linn
tied experience in handling apprOprl
ations questions, and it is on this ac
count that, the proposal for a genera
reorganization finds substantial back
ing.
McCleary's Popularity.
If Mr.. McCleary were less popular i
congress than he is, and less of facto
case might be disposed of easily: Blu
to refuse to give him the place h
wants, and take away from that refuse
any suggestion which might be calcl
lated to injure Mr.. McCleary among hi
own home folks or to give him persona
offense, is the problem the speaker
trying to solve. ..,.sr,, rcs ,e
|, No matter what is done, the speake

in case the situation in his judgme1

WORCESTER TO NORWICH
League Meeting Last Night Ratified
the Change.


Hartford, June 21.-The directors of
the Connecticut base ball league unan-
imous1y voted last night to transfer the
Worcester franchise to Norwich. Last
season the team was in Norwich. and
now it goes back where it came from.
M. J. Kittredge of the Washington
team, who is the principal owner or
the Worcester team, and III. B. Daven-
port who was the principal owner OF
the Norwich team, will be associated in
the management of the new Norwich
club.
The directors met at. the New Dom
hotel last night and were in session for
three hours. p H. Prindivi1le of Hol-
yoke acted as chairman and represent
ed that city. Other directors present
were: w. r. Bristol Of Meriden. who
held a proxy for G. j. Danaher of the
New. Haven club, W. J. Tracy of Hart
Kittredge of Worcester, G. HI. Hum
phrey of New London and J. Ell.
O'Rourke of Bridgeport, who is the sec
rotary of the league.
Secretary o Rourke presented tele-
grams received from Secretary j. FL.
Farrell Of the National Association nf
Minor League Base Ball Clubs, and
also from NJ. J. Kittredge regarding
the sale nf Worcester players. Mr. Kit
tredge suggested to the directors that
if they did not care to ratffy the sale
of the players they need not. 1t was
voted that the sale should not be rati-
fed This vote was unanimous Mr.
Kittredge then requested that the Wor-
cester franchise be transferred to Nor
witch and the vote to do so was adopt
-, oh f1Tc4
at Norwich will be Friday The consti-
tuition was amended so that the name
of the club is changed from Worcester
to Norwich.
Mr. Kittredge has paid the salaries of
tho Worcester players and Secretary
O'Rourl1e received notice of the pay
ment yesterday morning. Mr. Kittredge
had intended to sell several of his play
ers to New Bedford and receive three
New Bedford players in exchange. He
also intended to secure a college bat
terry The team could have been kent
in Worcester as local men were desir-
Gus of getting the club. Strong induce
ments were offered in Norwich, as the
fans there are said to be crazy for the
team to return.
y The league directors discussed the
position taken bv the umpires during
the progress of the game and the sec
retary was instructed to notify Dennis
r. Reardon. supervisor Of T1mpires, that
he must notify his staff that hereafter
they must be back of the plate when
first base is not occupied.
Meriden protested game won by
Worcester June III on account of an
alleged illegal delivery by Billy Nc
Gill. The directors filed the protest
away and it is doubtful If it is taken
up again.

BOTTLES THROWN OUT.
junk Men Not in This Clearing Sale
of Porcelain.

New Haven, June 21.-Last night
was "bottle night on the Yale cam
pus and the students made the
grounds look like Russian battlefield
after the Japs artillery had been per-
forming on their Quartermaster's de
partment
Bottles which had contained water,
milk and other fluids, pitchers, bowls,
vases, and articles of porcelain, some
with handles. some without, were
dashed upon the walls and smashed
to atoms.
The trouble commenced at o'cock,
when some student in Old South Mid
die opened a window and yelled
Heads from under" and then down
came a big water pitcher, soon fol-
lowed by other fragile articles in quick
succession.
One genius soon opened his artillery.
He put "a giant fire cracker into a vase
and as they hit the pavement the
cracker exploded, blowing the frag-
ments of crockery in white shower.
Soon nealy every window in main
campus became an exit for bottles
and cries of. ANY bottles?" would be
followed by a crash. Pistols were
fired off, fire crackers doomed and the
noisy cries Of the students started a
general pandenonium.
On the little campus across the
street the work of destruction was
then taken up and the few cyclists
who were riding around there soon
took to cover and in little while the
roadways were impossible for pneu-
matte tires.
In York street the boys threw their
discarded glassware into the roadway
and autos or bicycles that went
through later We're certain to get pune
tured tires. The police We're on
guard for awhile watching things, but
they were there after the trouble was
over Arrests might have been made
had the police seen the students when
they were littering the street with the
glass.
