COY. LAFOLLETTE
 FORMALLY ELECTED
DELIVERS CAREFULLY WORDED ADDRESS, IN WHICH HE SAYS NEXT DECADE WILL MEAN MUCH FOR NATION.

Madison, Wis, January Ex-Governor M. Lafollette was today in the joint legis- lative assembly elected United States sen- ator to succeed Joseph V. Quar1es. The Governor received 1O1 votes of 133 The democratic members gave their compli- mentary vote to Martin L. Leuck and the social democrats voted for Vicar l.. Der ger.
 The occasion was dramatic in the ex- treme. In a carefully worded address which the governor read from manuscript he acknowledged the high honor, and sig nifed his acceptance as a response to the call of duty, but said that unless the legislature enact into laws the measures for which so many contests have been fought, he would tender back to them the nomination. and they would have to choose some other man.
 Governor Lafollette spoke in part as follows:
 'I believe I am not blinded by any hard experience in regarding the past de- cade in political history in Wisconsin. and the next decade in the history of nation al politics as epoch-making years in state and national government.
 There are impartial, important pat riotic duties for this generation of men to perform in bot. of these great fields Mindful, as I must always be, and as you must always be for most of you bear the wounds, and scars of this long civic strife. of the profound significance of this past ten years of political history ir Wisconsin for the principles which underlie government by the people, your action In electing me United States sen- ator seems to come as a commission from you and the people of the state, through you, to carry a message In the broader field of national legislation. Your call invites me to participate in the work which is to deal immediately with the problems which President Roosevelt has courageously pressed upon Congress for solution. l appreciate that you have the same sense of obligation to the people of Wisconsin which l have.
 'I fully realize that if you had not be- lieved that I could serve the peoples in terests as United States senator than as governor you would not have taken this action today.
 "But recognizing, as I must. the pres ent obligations which rest upon me, 1 am compelled to be in readiness to meet any unforeseen issues which may develop. For this reason I say in accepting your high commission that if there should appear any conflicting obligations, which should be impossible for me to meet as United States senator although elected to that position. I shall ask you to receive the honor from me and place 1t upon another man of your own choice"

SLAG PILE SETTINGS.

The Atlanta Journal says:
 There's no four flushing about Manager Powells intention to sell his franchise The mogul Is in Atlanta now and ] ready to call any bet made. Twenty thousand dollars is the price he has placed on his balldom belongings, including franchise and players and if reputable parties come along with this amount about their per sons they can become sole owners and proprietors of the situation so far as sum mer events around Piedmont park are concerned.
 His willingness to sell does not mean that he will quit baseball for good, but simply that he will leave Atlanta where last season. despite his good showing in the race, a bundle of chronic knockers and dyspeptics were after him all the year He has received several good of fers to manage big league teams and could easily secure place in one of the major townships.
 Here's what Alb has to say for himself:
 q still stick by my intention to sell if the proper parties are willing to me out. The price I set is s2O,0o0. l say proper parties for if I sold out to any one in any way connected with gambling or the saloon business, the sale would be de- clared void by the league, who can refuse to allow any sale unless those interested are of good standing in the community.
 My reasons for this are simple. Last season I gave Atlanta a team that was within few points of the leaders in sec- and place. We had fine ball all the year, and yet I was roasted constantly on all sides both by an army of knockers who seem to have determined to drive me out, and in the columns of certain paper here. I was called close, and yet the rec ords show that I spent more money than any other manager in the league. Certain ly no one paid out more than 1 did. l have worked hard to put baseball on a good plane in Atlanta and have spent a good deal of money, but somehow havn't seemed to please in many quar- ters."
 .'There is not near the profit that many people think for the owners and while have cone well here, I have not made enough to buy out any business block. as I have heard hinted around. So far have heard from but one purchaser-Nym Me Cullough, who asked me for a price. have made no deals yet, but came to talk the matter over with any well known parties who figure now they want to buy me out"
 There will be at least one scrapper less in the Southern league to make the life of his umpship miserable, and if things go right there will be two They are Atz, who was always chewing the rag, and Andrews, whose lusty lungs on the coach ing line were heard frequently all last season.
 Andrews has been sold to St. Joseph of 4he Western league and in his place granville is slated for third for Nashville.

 Wanted Matter Delayed.
 Martin Y. Calvin and Bert Miller of Georgia, wanted the report made a special order for the tomorrow, the .at- ter expressing the belief that the re- duction might have gone to the extent of B 1-3 but T. l.. MaSSenBdle OI the SdHle state, rallied the convention to immediate consideration on the ground that this was the most vital business that could come before the convention and by an over yhelming vote the convention decided on action, finally adopting the report with a thunderous aye and without a single vote in the negative.
 Without transacting any other busi- mss or listening to any of the papers on the programme the convention recessed until night.
 Night Session.
 At the night session of the cotton con vention President Jordan read a telegram from Director North of the Census Blu reau in answer to the request for a gin- ners report tomorrow. It read;
 "We have given our agents until Janu- ary 2S to mail reports of cotton ginned to January Is. Thus far only 150 out of FOO counties have been received, mostly small cotton producers, too small pro- portion to have much significance if pub lished tomorrow. If the convention de- sres such a partial report. 1t will be made tomorrow at 1 o'clock, Washington time"
 The convention voted a request that the report be sent tomorrow with a compari- son with last years report from the same counties at the same time.
 The convention listened to addresses by Thomas E. Watson of Georgia and Capt. R. P Hobson.

JACK CHESBRO EXPLAINS
 THAT FAMOUS SPIT BALL

Jacs Chesbro, who came near pitching the New York American league team to the championship with his famous spit ball. and who Is regarded the fore most exponent of the latter in the coun- try, has finally consented to tell some thing of his method of pitching the most puzzing delivery invented in recent years.
 The spit ball has come to stay, and is easily the most effective ball that can possibly be used,' says Jack Tt is easy to pitch, once you have acquired it's se- crets. l have never yet read an explana- ton of 1t that was any where near cor rect.
 T can make the ball drop inches or I was only in the first few weeks of last season that the New York catchers hurt their fingers when I used the ball. To- ward the close of the season l sgnaled just how far the ball would drop. and whether 1t would drop straight or to the outside.
 'The spit ball cannot be pitched so that it will drop toward a right-handed bats man by a right-handed pitcher It can only be made to drop straight or 10 the outside. Of course, to left-handed bats man II can De maue 10 urop toward hlm.
 'rhe thumb, and thumb alone directs the spit ball. The saliva on the ball does not make 1t drop. In fact the saliva does not affect the ball in any way. The ball must be moistened simply for the purpose of making 1t leave the fingers first and thumb last. The thumb does the trick on the spit ball, and does 1t well.
 Gap. Anson couldn't hit the spit ball in hundred years. In fact I would be willing to bet Anson couldn't even catch it.
 The ball is not hard on the arm. pitched In ffty-four games last season and my arm never bothered me. Speed must be used to make the ball effective;
