Manager Taylor is not in the least discouraged,

In fact people have failed to detect

James arrived in Helena a week in

Saints Are Sinners.

T. PAUL is just now putting up a
squat about the ball team that
~ can be heard from Mendoza to
Mixed Ale, Wis. The hammer brigade
is out with the little tappers and the
village loafers gather in front Of the
grocery store and say nasty things
about the "nine.'
On paper, st. Paul has formidable
looking lot Of players, and while there
is a shrinkage when they get on the
field, the saints really have a better
team than is shown by the ball they
are playing.
There is said to be lack Of disci-
pline and some internal dissension. This
could be remedied easily enough, and
with the teams punched as they are,
the saints are not hopelessly out Of the
running. -.
Sitting up and booting losing team
never made them win games in the his
tory Of baseball. The fact is that st.
Paul is "crab' town in all sorts of
sports. First division teams have not

On form Cans, in condition, should
have made a monkey out of the Lewis
lad. From all reports Lewis camo
near making the monk out Of the
moke. It is not impossible that the
Baltimore man is hitting the slide in
form. He is only few months away
from 80 years old and has been fight
ing in earnest since 1894, matter of
twelve years He has done a lot Of
training and fought many battles.
There Is no use denying that train
ing as much as Cans has will get the
recuperative powers Of any boxer In
time. He has won from a lot Of good
men and in winning has taken lot
Of beating. These things tell on the
battler. It is not at all impossible
that Herford's stalling horse has
passed his limit and that the young
sters are beginning to get to him and
showing up his reversal. .5:. 4
The idea that Cans is stalling In
the east is born Of his crooked past.
He has been mixed up in some Of the
most unsavory Of the ring scandals.
He has protested for more than a year
burning anxiety to get bout with
Nelson and the Dane has SHE'D at him
like country horse from an auto
mobile horn. Out Of Cans crooked
past has come a belief in his duplicity
and many ring followers profess to
believe that Cans is as good as ever,
but going slow with semi professional
boxers to make Nolan and Nelson think
that it would be safe to take him on
and give him his quietus. These same
dope artists profess to believe that
Cans could make 1913 for Nelson and
give the Norseman a beating that
would end his claim to the champion
ship.
Nobody knows about this but Cans
and he isn't telling.

Tip O'Neil on Rowdyizm.

Western league, gave out in
an interview the other day the
most remarkable line Of talk ever
heard from baseball player, magnate
OF official. he lauded rowdy tactics,
said it was necessary to browbeat and
"ouss up" players, and is quoted as
saying that he would sooner see game
end in fight than in love feast.
It Is hard to believe, in these days,
that the president Of a league would
entertain such ideas, much less express
them. It only goes to show that when
certain club owners Of the Western
were trying to GUST O'Neil from Office
they were working In a good cause.
Such line Of talk should drive O'Neil
out Of the business for good and all.
The followers Of baseball want it
fast, clean and snappy, but with the
rowdy feature cut out. O'Nel appears,
if he has been correctly quoted, as a
survivor Of the old days when the loud
est brawler and most profane thug was
considered the most desirable factor
in professional baseball. O'Neil is ap-
parently living in the days Of long ago
and man that far behind has no place
at the head Of any organization.
It would appear to be up to the club
owners Of the Western league to kick
O'Neil out, and kick him to far and
so high that he will have ample time
to change his sentiments before he
lights. Baseball is better off without
men of that stripe.

of his visit was to review the campaign
textbook which Is to be issued next
week.

ment with word pictures of the record

why that party should be kept in pow

Mr.. Sherman spoke appreciatively
Of the presidents interests and assist
ance in the campaign. The outlook
he said. was good. "Of course" he
remarked. "the Republicans are not
going to retain all the seats they now
have in the house, but we will remain
IN actual control of the sixtleth con-
gress. That we are sure of.
AT the last election we had PEST
dent Roosevelt on the ticket and no
real Democrat against him. For this
reason we carried a number of strictly
Democratic districts that we had no
more right to than some one besides
the president had to Sycamore Hill.
While we expect to lose some Of these
districts, the Republican members who
hold them now are confident In every
instance of their reelection"
