WANTS TO GET IN
THE WEST PENN
Washington, Pa, Anxious to
Get a Franchise in Baby
Organization.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Feb. 25,-
Washington is all stirred up over the
chance to get berth In the West
Penn Baseball League. With the
surrender Of the p. o. NJ. fran
chise a short time ago efforts have
been made here to start a Saturday
league with Waynesburg and some
other towns and in the event Of the
failure of this scheme 1t had been
practically arranged to place fast
Independent team in the field. II,
however franchise in a league, such
as the West Penn, where n sane SAL
airy limit Will prevail, can be secured,
1t is the unanimous opinion that moth
ing should be put in the way of the
project.
In spite Of WashIngton's seeming
baseball dIslnterestedness the falling
to put up sufficient collateral to re-
enter the P. 10. NJ. league another
year, and notwithstanding the big
deficit that whs in evidence in 1906
and 1907, the town Is a good baseball
center. Manager William Brown
stated to newspaper correspondent
that last season the local club officers
figured that with salary of $1,000
they would have made money in the
P, o. NJ. league.
The We & ]. college season closes
the middle Of June and while a
league team prior to that time must
necessarily divide honors with the
colleglans no money should be lost
after the conclusion Of the college
season league ball should make mon
ey for its promoters.
Washington baseball players assert
now that the men under contract to
the Washington P. o. NJ. team, who
were transferred to McKeesport by
1.-THE alleged payment Of Washlngton's
Indebtedness by the Tubers, are free
agents. McKeesport took down its
$500 forfeit from the P. 0. NJ. when
It was decided to dissolve that organ
Ization and to secure an 0. & P. fran
chlse for the Tube city. 1t is argued
here that the withdrawal of the for
felt placed McKeesport in the same
class as Washington and that since
both towns are out Of the P. o. NJ.
the players are free, If Washington
secures franchise In the West Penn
or any other league a test Of this will
likely be made. Several former
Washington players who have been
on the local roster since the days of
Independent ball have written here
saying that they preferred to play
with Washington independently in
preference to going with other teams.
1t will be the intention of Washing
ton, consequently, to hold several of
these men, and then build up q me-
dunn priced club. Secretary Farrell.

until Washington gets hearing.
Within the next few days local
baseball men will confer with Presi-
dent Power OF the West Penn league.
and ascertain definitely what chance
this town will have of breaking into
that organization. Manager Brown
saw Mr., Power some time ago and
says he is satisfied that Washington
will be given berth If the proper
support Is given by the local people

of the city work for go, 900 of the I'M

from starving to death. The numb r
of unemployed in the Quaker City is

WHAT HE IS PAID FOR

There is ut least one republican paper
in Nevada, the Tonopah Sun, which
dares to protest against the methods
which are being used to force Secretary
Taft upon his party u n presidential
candidate. The Sun strongly expresses
its opinion of Taft's candidacy and
truthfully tells of the methods which
are being used to force his nomination
when it says:
1T is II queer custom i'll America
which permits men being paid salaries
for services to devote their whole time
to campaigning for either reelection or
other offices which they are seeking.
What has Secretary Taft given the pco-
pie during the last four months for the
salary he draws Merely the press

president of the United States. In adj
dition to that are e~Ntravagant claims
that he makes that everything in sight
i'll the way Of delegations is his. Taft
may get the nomination and he may not.
This paper is not prepared tn dispute
either proposition. But getting the
nomination and getting the election are
two entirely different matters. The
thinking people of this country have
two or three good sized scores against
him. The most prominent is his pro.
Japanese sympathies. Next is the fact
that his nomination is being dictated
from the White House and the people
are being refused their right to select.
Third, in his drawing the secrctary's
