popular in Cleveland than Mayor Tom

STOP the average boy on the street and
ask him to name the capital of Texas
and he is as likely to say Ohio as Austin.
Ask him, however, who led the Ameri-
can League in hitting last year and he
will tell you it was Stone, with an aver
age of .354 per cent. He may think that
Napoleon Bonapnrte won the battle of
Bunker Hill, but he will be certain sure
that Chicago won the National League
pennant last year. And he will have
pretty pronounced ideas on which team
Is going to win it again this year.

1t takes a man with more than ordinary
nerve to forecast the baseball prospects
for this year. thus early in the season.
TO the man up tree, however, It looks

been played, showed clear space Of
water between 1t and the next best club.
The New York Giants, however, are said
to be stronger than they were last year,
and Murray the new manager OF the
Philadelphia Nationals, has astonished
the natives all around the circuit by the
speed and snap Of his infield. Last year
the Chicago Nationals had clear lead
of 131 points over New York when the
season was over and Pittsburg was but
~ points behind the Giants. Cincinnati
is playing better baseball this year than
it did last year and st. Louis seems
stronger. In the American League Phila-
deIphia, which only finished fourth last
year, made good start and held Its own
with the other leaders, despite the abb

When he reaches the next town he is
sought out at his hotel, formally arrested
for violating the speed limit and haled

stable took his time when he crossed tho

away when he learns that the car, which
never would go faster than 25 miles an
hour (even In its best days, was timed

NO TRUST VIEWS
SECRETARY TAFT DECLINES MIR
 BRYAN'S CHALLENGE.
Talked Instead to Chautauquans at Ot. tawa, Kansas, on the Panama
 Canal Question.

Ottawa, Kansas, June 20-Secretary of War William H Taft addressed an audience of $500 people in the Chautau- qua Tabernacle today and he took oc- casion to refer to the implied charge of William J. Bryan who in his address to the Chautauqua yesterday expressed the wish that Secretary Taft in his speech today would give his views on the trusts and other live political is- sues The Secretary said:
 The distinguished citizen from Ne braska who addressed you yesterday showed care and anxiety for my welfare that I very much appreciate in that he attempted to point out what would be a good subject for me to discuss in his presence. Now, I am en- tireIy willing to follow, when circum- stances permit the advice of so good a leader on political topics, but I had prepared my self to discuss another subject.
 "I beg to remind the distinguished Nebraskan that more than six months ago I had the honor, before a large number of American citizens. to dis cuss the subjects of the trusts. of the regulation of the railroads, and of the revision of the tariff. and this discus sion proceeded, as it should proceed from a member of the administration. from the Standpolnt or those Who are charged with the responsibility of car rying out public policy and not of mak- ing declaratory statements for use in platforms only; that the result of the campaign in which these views were announced on behalf of the adminis- tration, not only by me but by other representatives of the Republican party was that a Republican Congress was returned to carry out these policies on the basis of those announcements and that when the appropriate time shall come to renew the discussion I shall be glad otake my humble part in setting forth those views again which I have not changed up to date"
 The subject of the Secretary's ad- dress was "The Panama Canal" and the large audience evidenced great in- terest in his careful review of the work which has been done and which Is now in progress.

GREATEST FIGHTERS AFLoAT
Vessels Must Be Built in Three
 Years.
Fore River and the Newport News shipbuiIding Companies are the Successful Bidder-MldvaIe Steel Company wni Sup
 ply the Armor.

Washington, June 20.-Bids were opened at the Navy Department at noon today for the construction of two American "Dreadnaughts," or. what are officially known as battleships Nos. 2s and 29, each to be of approxi- mately 20.000 tons displacement, the exclusive of armor and armament The total cost of each, when completed. is estimated to be $10,o00,000.
 The bidding brought together the largest capital of shipbuilders and oth- CT persons interested in naval con- struction that has been seen in the Navy Department for many mouths. The bidding itself was necessarily com plex. the builders freely availing them selves of the Departments permission to submit all sorts of combination and alternative plans.
 The Newport News Company alone submitted no less than seven sets of plans, and it may be noted that they were generally the lowest at all points and with all combinations. But as the law provides that no company shall receive the contract for more than one ship, the second lowest bidder also is assured an award, in this case the company being the Fore River Ship Building Company of Quincy, Mass.
 The bid of the Fore River Shipbuild- ing Company. Quincy. Mass. was as fol- lows: One ship on the departments plans to be completed in thirty-six months, s4.4S0.O0o; hull and equipment on departments plans. bidders Curtis turbine engines. $4,337,00 (cruising turbines not required in this type).
 The bid of the Newport News Ship building Company. Newport News, Va. was. Departments designs, $3,9S7, 900; departments hull and equipment, bid ders' arsons' turbine engines, Thorney- croft-Schultz boilers. $4,100.000, includ- Ing cruising turbines
 Another bid was received from the Cramps of Philadelphia.
 Bids also were opened for supplying < the armor needed for the two big bat tleships. For the armor, which is divided into four classes, on the basis of difficulty of the shapes required, the Midvale Steel Company appeared to be the lowest bidder for the largest class; that Is. 1856 tons of class A, at $40 per ton.
 Responsive to the invitations of the navy department and in accordance
