Topeka at Hutchinson.

Joplin at Webb City.
Oklahoma City at Springfield.

In a recent game between Oklaho-
ma City and Joplin, Jack Henry, the
former White Sox catcher, now with
Oklahoma City, stole home after the
Joplin pitcher started to deliver the
ball. Jack always did like to pull off
base running stunts.
Jack Rowan, of the Leavenworth
team of last season who was purchased
by Detroit in mid-season is now out
of a job. He was not considered a
good enough man for Detroit and was
farmed out to the Atlanta, Ga, team
in the Southern league. He did not
suit the mana cement of the Detroit
team and has been cast adrift. He
ought to get back to Leavenworth as
that team needs a lot of new men to
help win games

NEW ERA BEGINS.
Younger Element Will Take Up Con-
 trol of Standard Oil.

New York, September 19.-Wall street generally believes that new era in the personnel of the Standard oil company's leaders Is beginning. It is thought that the young element in the great corpora ton is coming to the front and that the older element is relinqushing it's active hold upon the affairs of the company, and those of the vast interests which have been affiliated with it. John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. William Rockefeller, ur ban H. Broughton. a son-in-law of H. H. Rogers, and II. H. Rogers, Jr., are among the younger men who are looked upon by the street as now directing affairs. Will liam Rockefeller is regarded as likely to take & principal part still in the com pany's couusels. but most of the other men who have been called the makeup of the Standard oil company. including John D. Rockefeller, Sr., John D. Archbold and H. H. Rogers, are expected hereafter to leave to their juniors the task of handling the giant business which they founded.
 What leads the street to hold these views is the recent decision of the direc- torate of the Amalgamated Copper com pany to cut down the output of the mines to one-half the normal It is held that this is a departure from the policy which was pursued several years ago when tho copper market was declining and that it signifies that the younger element is in

Trenton. x. j., September l9.-Snpreme Court Justice John Franklin Fort was nominated for governor on the first bal- lot by the republican state convention tonight. Justice Fort received lo0 votes out of total of l159
 The question as 10 who would receive the republican nomination for governor at today's state convention was entirely overshadowed by the differences of opin- ion as to the platform.
 The main difference of opinion on the platform is with respect to the excise question Seventeen different propositions have been presented on the subject. rang ing from a hat-footed declaration for the bishops law to one for local option plank on the question of Sunday selling United States Senator Briggs, the state chairman, favors an indorsement of the bishops law as does Congressman Tow Ter and many of the other leaders.
 Justice Forst is understood to have sent word that he wanted plank for the strict observance of Sunday, and that he wishes to make his campaign on that issue The real opposition to the bishops law comes from those who are against the proposition whnh compels the eX- posture to public view of the interior of barrooms on Sunday.
 The subcommittee of the state com mittee having charge of the drafting of platform finished its Wor just before the convention met The platform IS drawn does not make q specific indSse- ment of the bishops law but indorses the past attitude of the republican party on the excise question.
 Partial concessions are made to the Colby people in the matter Of their de- mands for direct primaries The plat form declares for direct primaries within counties. The platform will be referred to the committee on resolutions where another fight will take place over its pro visions.
 It was l o'clock before the convention was called to order by Senator Briggs. who presented Former Governor John w. Griggs as the temporary chairman At the conclusion of his speech the usual committees were appointed and q recess was taken until the afternoon.
