 To Charles Albert Clancy, one of the Holyoke baseball clubs star pitchers, belongs the honor of winning r,ore games in proportion to the number he pitched than any other pitcher on the team, says the Hodyoke Telegram. Clancy is probably the most conscien- tious man in baseball On the eve- ming before he is to pitch game he refrains from even a smoke aud goes to bed almost at sundoWn so as 10 be in the best possible condition for his game.
 He began his baseball career in Westerly, R. l., his home, in '96 He was then in the high school and was the star player of the school team. Tn the fall of '06 he went to George town university and became member of the varsity team, pitching many winning games. In college Clancy was immensely popular and his depart ure. to join the professional ranks was regretted by all his college mates
 He made his professional debut with the Milford team, pitching the season of '9S. Tn '09 he went with Derby. Conn. He joined Waterbury in 1900 and remained for three seasons. Last season he came with the Waterbury team to Holyoke but was about to leave for Wilmington, Del, refusing to play under former Manager liar

The author Of "Dodo" is always sprightly and
he has not omitted to introduce into his latest
novel certain amount Of that amusing dia-
logue which has done so much to win popularity
for his clever stories Of fashionable London life.
But the main argument of The ChalloGers' is
drawn from a situation in a vicarage far from
the distractions Of the great city. There a
clergyman Of noble character but narrow intel
lectual outlook dwels with a son and daugh-
ter whose natures he but imperfectly under

turn into a scholar, is bent upon becoming a
musician. Helen, the daughter. though not pro-

That is a great idea some people have
that men who are successful in the con-
tests for political nominations should
be turned down by the people because
the other fellows were not nominated,
and yet those who are preaching this
doctrine, say they are doing it for the
good of the party. If party nominees
are to be defeated, every time they are
before the people, the political party
that dominates them might as well 60

The Herald through an anonymous
writer goes into considerable detail of
the vote at the recent primary election,
and by that shows clearly that Harmer

he did at home. 1t admits that the

matter is the majority was SO over.
whelming most everywhere that there
is but one logical conclusion and that
is that the people of Harrison county,
irrespective of religion or vocation, pre-
ferred Thorn to Harmer, and why not
since he is his peer in every way and
is not to be slandered to crafty the
icalousies of other men, or to appease
their disappointment. Harmer himself
knows Thorn is good man. He fellow
ships with him in the church. He knows
him to be man of high ideals. He
knows him to be a man in the truest
sense of the word. And yet few fell
lows, who profess to be Harmer's friends
but hate him like snake, thinking this
fine opportunity to assist them in
disrupting the Republican party use
Harmer's name to prejudice the people
against Thorn and also other nominees
who had not the slightest thing in the
world to do with the contest between
Harmer and Thorn. They denounce
Thorn, but they know him to be man

him' Not that they wanted Harmer,
but because they are favorable TO Demo.
