GETTING DELEGATES BY AUTO
Story Of Early Morning Ride to Sc.
cure Delegation.

A feature Of the day was the wild
race to Melrose this morning in an
automobile, after the Melrose delega-
ton. 1t was discovered during the
night that the Melrose delegation
had not reached the city. and upon
inquiry by telephone 1t was ascer-
tanned that none of the members of
this delegation expected to partici-
pate In the convention. The auto
mobile Of Harvey Gaut was secured,
and the start from Lewiston made
about o'clock this morning. The
run was made to Melrose and the
delegates visited so that the start
for Lewiston was made at $40
o'clock. County Commissioner Wat
son was selected as the delegate to
make the trip and represent the
Melrose precinct. and shortly before
II o'clock he was delivered at the
courthouse.

who laid out the diamond, who figured
that the distance between bases

ITO me is has always been wonder
how any one ever figured out that the
bases should be 80 feet apart. II Is
possible to beat man to first by a
perfect throw from any part OF the
diamond. and II Is just possible for a
runner 10 beat the ball to the base
by q few inches In many instances. y
throw must be almost perfect 10 re-
tire a man running to a base. for he
has almost as good chance as the
ball.
Then, when a player goes TO steal
second, he can just make the base on
an imperfect throw or he can be beat
en- out by few inches and often by
several feet when the catcher makes
a perfect throw. The chances of steal.
ing third are much smaller, but Ii 10

That Manager Joe Cantlllon, OF the
Washington club, not only knew OF the
intention of his players to- participate
in the games with the Chicago out
laws but actually, by his implied con-
sent, gave the men permission to do
as they choose, after the close OF the
season is the statement made by the
Washington Star, the organ which Is
conducted by the same man who owns
the controlling share OF the stock In

After assuring the Washington pub
lie that there need be no alarm felt
over the sensational stories that have
been emanating from Chicago since
the worlds series, the Star admits
the truth OF the accusation that the
members Of the Washington club did
play those games and adds:

Walter played two games and

when he comes to pay down two

are that he will decide that his

Cantillon stands none too well with

were before the outlaw

That the resulting strained rela-
tions will end In new manager for
