ALLEGED TAFT TRICK
Allies Accuse Managers OF
Double Deal.
WESTERN DELEGATES FOOLED
Those Pledged for Secretary said TO
Have Been Influenced by Reports,
Opposed TO His Candidacy-Money-
ed Interests Claimed to be for Him.

! The development Of greatest significance
in its probable effect upon the result OF
the Chicago convention is the corrobora-
ton Of the statement which appeared in
the bulletin prematurely issued from the
Taft headquarters at Columbus, Ohio,
some weeks ago. to the effect that the
candidacy of Secretary Taft is being
actively promoted by Wall street interests
which have been conspicuously antag-
onistio 10 the policies of the present ad-
ministration. according to a statement
put out by the allies yesterday. as fol-
lows:
The delegates obtained for Taft west
of the Alleghenies have been procured
exclusively on the representation that
Secretary Taft was the special champion
of certain governmental policies obtec-
tionable to influential interests which are
now giving public indication Of their es-
pousal Of hs cause. This support is predi-
Gated upon the express belief that Mr..
Taft's candidacy represents an attitude
on important public questions widely at
variance from that which has been por-
trayed in the creation Of Taft sentiment
throughout the West and Middle West
wall Street for Taft.
During the past week this support has
been boldly voiced by prominent repre-
sentatives Of great financial interests. such
as Mr.. Lanier, of the banking firm Of
Winslow & Lanier. who declared in an
interview that Wall street is for Taft.
The claim has been made for months in
the literature circulated in behalf Of
Taft's candidacy that these interests were
behind other candidates who have been
described IN this literature as reaction
ary.' The support of Secretary Tafrs
candidacy by these interests at this time
is open, notorious, and cannot be denied.
II IS not believed that delegates selected
in the West on the theory that Secretary
Tafts candidacy represented the continu-
ance Of policies odious to these interests
can be held in line at the Chicago con-
vention in view of the changed condition.
During the week there were held two
State conventions and a Territorial con-
yention. All were claimed for Taft. In
all defeat was sustained by the Taft
managers.
Although announcement had been
made prior to the New Hampshire con-
vention that the delegates were almost

KNOCKLE BALL COMING curve
Latest Of Freak Deliveries Holds
Some Great Possibilities.
Clark Griffith and Willie KeeIer
Believe that New shoot VIII Be
Big Factor in Baseball.

New York, April 25.-The knuckle ball
is the coming curve. in the opinion OF
many major league players. Pitchers
who love to experiment are trying TO de-
velop #. "Taeks" Neuer, of the High
! landers. worked on it so hard a few. DAYS
ago that his knuckles were worn OF
worse than those Of a man who tries to
wash lis own flannel shirt while camp
ing.
There is something In this new knuckle
ball. and the only thing needed is for
/ some pitcher TO get II out The same
/ trouble was had with the spit ball when
Elmer Stricklett first discovered its won
derful possibilities.
Rucker. Of Brooklyn. has developed the
new curve wonderfully. and when not in
a pinch he frequently tries it out on un-
suspectlng batters- Last week, during
practice, he struck out two men with the
strange bender. and had the catcher
paving up the earth trying to catch It,
It came up to the plate with a peculiar
rotary motion and then wabbled to one
side in such a ludicrous manner that Tim
Jordan, who was the goat" actually
laughed aloud. But he struck at it, lust
the same.
The knuckle ball is always going to be
novelty, because IL is so hard to con
troll Very few pitchers have the nerve
10 take a chance with f. The ball is
held tightly between the thumb and little
finger. The other three fingers are
doubled up so as to allow the ball 10 rest
on top Of theEl-not beneath them. Try
to hold a baseball with the tips of the
thumb and little finger and then slip the
other three by it without dropping the
ball, and then you will have an idea Of
how difficult the knuekle ball is to cor
troll.
rs we said before. the ball rests against
the knuckles and on top Of them. When
the ball is thrown IL is set spinning on
perfectly horizontal axis. The downward
thrust of the hand causes the knuckles
that rest against the ball to make IL spfn
toward the thrower, instead of away from
him. in contradiction to the drop curve
II sufficient speed could be mustered
which is palpable impOssibility. the bail
would have a tendency to curve upward.
But there Is not such force at a pitchers
command. and therein the batter Is fool
ed. The ball spins up to the plate. and
IN lis eHort 10 curve upward IL almost
stops For a fraction Of a second It
wavers. and then wabbles TO one side
and drops.
Several OF the Highlanders' pitchers
tried it in practice. but only the fellows
with big hands and long fingers could
throw it at all Neuer thinks he has mas
tered It. and some of these bright after
Moons there is going to be a sensation up
on the hill
Clark Griffith is OF the opinion that this
new curve, seriously, will develop into
something new In baseball. Willie Keller
has looked into it carefully. and he holds
the same opinion

Philadelphia, Pa. April Ex-senator
Philander c. Knox. in an address before
the young Republican club in this CITY

the protective policy of his party.
He declared that there is no reason to
believe that the Democratic idea of free
trade is sound, and pointed TO the fact
that the liberal government was defeated
in England yesterday. In doing this. he
quoted from a speech he made in 1904
when he cited the fact that England ha(f

Of her agricultural and manufacturing in

TO HUGHES

WILL VOTE TO KILL GAMBLING
William w. Wallace Is Man Selected
by G. o. p. Caucus to Succeed Late
Senator FranehOt-He Promises TO
support Anti-betting Measures-In-
strueted as to Course.

Lockport, n Y, April 25,-The Republi-
cans. in a sensational convention to-day
which threatened to break up with a
deadlock, after four hours differences in
a caucus over a nominee. decided upon
William W. Wallace, an attorney Of
Niagara Falls, as the candidate TO be
voted for at the special election for Sena-
tor to be held on May r.
Mr. Wallace was a dark horse, but
went before the convention agreeing TO
support the governors wish on the race
track issue. and upon the demand of
both factions of the Republican party he
further agreed not to be a candidate
again this fall.
Former Senator L'Hommedieu, of Ned
ina, was chairman Of the convention, and
George F. Thompson Of Middleport a
former assemblyman. was secretary.
Niagara had eight delegates, instead of
seven. that the delegation might be
evenly divided between the Portner and
Merritt forces. After the roll call, the
convention took a recess and the dele
gates went into a conference.
Willing TO Agree.
In the caucus L'Hommedieu. as head
OF the Orleans delegation, stated the posi-
ton OF that body. He said that the
Orleans men would be for any one whom
the two factions in Niagara could agree
upon, and under no circumstances would
he take part in the matter to help TO
settle the Niagara fight. holding that the
county should settle its own troubles.
He further said that arrangements should
be made that the nominee shall be a
candidate at the spring election only.
After much squabbling, L'Hommedleu
and the Orleans men left the caucus. The
Niagara men remained in caucus after
the Orleans men left They continued 20
ballot the two factions splitting The
four Porter men voted for former Mayor
John NJ. Hancock, OF Niagara Falls as
the candidate. The Merritt men were
supporting James S. Simmons as their
candidate. The deadlock continued on
many successive ballots.
Hancock Is Dropped.
Finally, the Porter men dropped Han
cock and picked up the name of F. I.
Lovelace, secretary of the Niagara Falls
Power Company. Later Lovelaee was
dropped and Wallace was voted upon by
the Porter men. but the deadlock still
continued.
Several other names went before the
caucus but at o'clock the Merritt men
surrendered and permitted the caucus TO
announce that Mr.. Wallace would be the
choice OF the convention.
The convention reassembled az 6.15

that is the election of whoever may be
