the past couple of years has had an UNI
pire's berth In the Southern league, has
affixed his signature to a contract to UNI
pire in the National league for the sea-
son OF 1908.
Ruddy visited President Harry Pulliam
at his office in New York city during the
convention of the national association
and the contract was drawn up at that
time. The articles give Rudderham $500
a year more than any other umpire ever
received for his initial seasons salary In
the National league.
Rudderham was given his try-out at
Pittsburg toward the close OF the season
In the series with Boston. Pulliam made
a flying trip from New York to Pittsburg
in order TO get a line on the ex-Gray's
ability, and had him work alone after the
game The head OF the National league
was unstinted in his praise of Rudy and
declared him TO be a find of the first wa
ter. The Pittsburg papers came out the
next day with numerous bouquets for the
new ''ump." double-header between
these two teams, which completed that
series. and a two-game duel at the Hub
between the Doves and the Trolley Dodg-
ers were the other games in which Frank
officiated in the big league last season.

OF the game long.
The Harvard team Is being worked
more lightly this year than ever before
during the season. Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday of this week the same days
next week and probably one day the

remain for that purpose.
The undergraduates are awaiting anx-

are developed during the present week.
Harvard's offence is almost useless at
present. and the undergraduates feel that
before the team meets Carlisle IL Will

Ex-senator George Peabody Wetmors
for United States senator received en-
thusiastic Endorsement at the hands OF
his Republican townspeople at a dinner
given In his honor by the Young Mems
Republican club at Newport last evening.
Realty hall was crowded and Deputy
Speaker Robert s. Burlingame. president
OF the club, acted as the toastmaster. On
his right sat Mr.. Wetmore as the guest
OF honor, while on Mr.. ,Burlingame's left
sat former Gov. George III. Utter. The
other speakers were Edward S. Rawson
OF Newport, State Senator Walter II. Sti-
ness OF Warwick and Percy W. Gardner,
chairman OF the executive committee of
the Young Mems Republican club of
Rhode Island.
Mr.. Wetmore was presented as the guest
OF the club and the first speaker and re-
ceived an ovation lasting three minutes
In part he said:
ut is our duty TO see that each and
every one on the ticket receives our heart
lest support and TO elect them by the
large majority that their merit entities

Last year, when / was announced as
a candidate, all attacks were upon an un-
avowed Republican candidate. This Iear
they are on me, proving indisputdbly that
IL is a campaign OF personal malignment
and abuse to accomplish political ends.
My statement made before the Republi-
cans of Rhode Island at their annual din
ner In Providence on Thursday last proves
that I'm line OF historical fact that charges
and calumnies made against me are false.
II take this occasion to again thank
my fellow citizens irrespective OF party
for the remarkable Endorsement given last
year to the Newport assembly dcket, fa-
voring my reelection TO the United States
senate. / sincerely trust the Endorsement
will be even moro emphatic this year. In
order TO print the stamp OF disapproval on
the vicious, malicious and false attacks
made upon me personally for the sole pur-
pose OF gaining political ends.
ut is high time that campaign be-
tween political parties should be conduct
ed by arguments as to issues and not
based on personal abuse and calumpy.

friends here and In Clyde He refused TO
divulge the object OF his visit.
When asked regarding the possibilities
of field at Palace Gardens, Duffy said
that an Eastern league ball field there
might not be out OF the question.
He said he thought the Eastern league
would not allow Doe to hold the grounds
under the present conditions. and believes
that the president may try to use the
lease as stall at the meeting of the
stockholders.
Duffy said that II won't hurt his team
anyway, and that he will be there strong

are troubling the financial world.
There was one important outcome of
the visit. however. and that was a state
ment by the president that he would i'm
mediately rewrite that portion OF his an
nual message TO congress relating to a.
nancial legislation
1t is not known what the president had
decided to recommend or even that he
had decided to put forward any special
legislation OF a financial nature. but he
had included some expressions in regard
10 these matters In his message, which
was completed as to its general features
before he left Washington for his trip
through the south These expressions will
be eliminated. and Mr.. Roosevelt will sub
stitute something OF a more definite ma
ture, possibly recommending some spe-
cifc means OF relieving the finances OF the
country. This promise was given to the
presidents visitors this morning and Mr..
Roosevelt will set at work at once on the
task OF preparing this part OF the mes
sage, which will be sent TO congress just
a month from now.
