TAFT COMING SOUTH.
Candidate Will Try to Teach South
 erners How to Vote.

Cincinnati. October 1l.-i"I am going south to make few speeches in Ken lucky. Tennessee, North Carolina, Vir ginia and Maryland, not so much with a view to carrying those states as to show their people that they are part of the union, and as such ought to vote for the party which will give them the in fiuence in the nation to which their prog ress, energy and enterprise entitle them"
 Judge Taft said this to the Taft-Sher- man club of Highlands, Ky, which came to the Snto hotel yesterday to pledge it's support. His address throughout was an expression of intense feeling regarding the political condition of the south. The south, had, he said, made wonderful progress under the application of the republican principle of protection and yet it remained a perpetual asset to the democracy of the north, to be delivered en bloc no matter what might be the issue or interest at stake The speech was heartily applauded, and the candi- date concluded the political activities in his home city by personally meeting the members of the club.

 Now to chess. l was president of the Landsberg Chess club and considered the best player there, but that means little On the quiet, Lasker had played with several members and desired to join tho club; butt being a student, it was im- possible. He was anxious to play with me, but I had to reply: Dear Lasker, business first, then pleasure, your school must not suffer- He was not accustomed to order, and worked irregularly-some- times not at all, then the whole night. The school regulations were a disagree able letter to him and I had my trou- bles
 But in the summer, during the custom ary class excursion, ho again requested me to play and produced pocket chess board. I consented and we played on the march. the board passing from one to the other. At first I thought he was not such a much. But the game sudden ly took a turn presaging my death and I resigned Quick to the second game; but, now attention! No underestimation of the adversaryl I lost that also, and the day being iong-the third and the  fourth
 Then wished him success in his fu- ture battles and recommended Bilguer's handbook for his further guide. but warned him not to play chess all the time-at the university mathematical studies must remain the main thing. He probably would have followed this advice had he not been compelled by necessity to adopt chess playing as means of d, livelihood l say probably, because al ready at that time I noticed in him a longing for public fame.

Of Dr. Emanuel Lasker, worlds cham pion chess player, who recently won series of games from Dr. Tarrasch of Ger many for the championship of the world Prof. Kewitseh, his instructor in mathe- matics at college, says:
 "Lasker was born on December "A, 1S6S at Berlinchen. a small city in the Neu- of the synagogue, had precarious ex- istence, which, however, did not rob him of the pleasure of playing the royal game with his sons. In his case it is agaia demonstrated that giftedness in family for a certain art increases from genera ton to generation, until one member of the family aided by special circum- stances, climbs the summit of ability
 with the aid of relatives and mem bers of their faith, the parents succeeded in giving their sons a higher education. The older. Berthold. also famous player, is a physician. The younger had to quit school from Obertertia when all means were exhausted. A commercial career was intended for him, but for this he was unfitted
 But they succeeded in sending him to another school, at Landsberg, where he skipped a class and in three months was promoted to prima. After two years at Easter in 1888 Lasker passed his Abit- urium examination
 Here Prof. Kewitsch repeats the four difficult questions in mathematics and geometry submitted to the students.
 "while the other scholars were busy during the allotted five hours Lasker was through in two hours.

JOHN ROBINSON
 SUED BY DAUGHTERS

Cincinnati October 11.-(Special.)- J. Gov" John F. Robinson, who recently surprised his family by marrying his young nurse, was made the defendant Sat urday in actions brought by two of his daughters, for a quarter of a million dol lars.
 The suits were filed in the common pleas court by Attorneys Healy, Ferris and Mc- Avoy on behalf of Mrs. Pearl A. Lamkin and Mrs. Caroline R. Stevens, who de- manded an accounting from their father as guardian of their estates. Mrs. Stevens claims s12O,755 and Mrs. Lamkin s11S.- GOO.
 The daughters claim that their mother died in 1890 leaving 150 shares of Russell Morgan Printing company stock of 5000 each in trust for her minor children. The father was appointed guardian. These, have through the various mergers re- suited in the present United States Play ing Card company, increased greatly in value, besides drawing large dividends during all the years that their father has held them.
 No accounting has ever been made to them of the dividends on their share of stock. Each demands a full accounting for the amount stated above and the transfer of the stock certificates to them.
 Gov John Robinson was married to Miss Maude Logan in Clarksville, Tenn, on September P. He is 64 and she is much younger. She was trained nurse and had been in constant attendance upon Governor" Robinson. At the time of the marriage she was accompanying in his travels with the Robinson circus. They had made an attempt to get married at Hopkinsville the day before the ceremony, but having been warned, the clerk would not issue them license Governor Robinsons children very vigorously op- posed the marriage, and today's action is a sequel

COVaIeSki Is One That
 MCGr0V Ca711Ot Rattle

Chicago. October 11.--CovalesB That is name to conjure by. fer by it the New York Giants were beaten three times in a single series-just exactly enough to make possible victory for Chicago's Cubs in their tremendous struggle for the championship of the National league.
 Whenever the history of the greatest fight for a baseball championship ever known is told the name of Covaleski will be heard. It was his prowess alone that stood between the worlds champions and defeat, and he was strong enough to turn the trick.
 For this marvellous performance of the Phille southpaw the champions are thankful. Not only will their apprecia- ton of this service be shown in the tele.. grams sent the young pitcher, but Cova- lesl1i, for the brilliant part he has taken in the fight, will be handsomely reward ed by the Chicago players financially.
 To him alone is due the chance the Cubs have of again getting a slice of the worlds championship series money, and. to show that they are glad to do the right thing to a pitcher who saves for them this coveted opportunity. the mem bers of the team will take up a collection for him and send him a financial reward that will gladden. the heart of the young Pole.
 For CovalesSi is a Pole, and does not speak a great deal of English. He can understand most of what Is said 10 him, but in the heat of battle the coaching"
 
 no impression on his mind. Most of the talk" 'Muggsy'' hands out at such times is not of the kind that a man likes to hear but it falls like water off ducks back when addressed to Covaleski He doesn't understand most of it, and doesn't care about the rest.
 New York has beaten the .Phillies many times during the past season. having a big majority of the games between these teams to it's credit Most of this may be credited to the line of talk handed out by MeGraw, coaching at third base, to Eddie Grant, the Phillie third-sacker 'Muggsy' stands up there and calls Grant, who is Harvard graduate, every thing he can think of, and ''Muggsy's" vocabulary along this line is famous. The result is that Grant would get nervous and when ball came his way the lad would blow up"
 Covaleski never turned a hair when McGraw attempted to rattle him; instead 'Muggsy' went to bed sick with worry when this big southpaw trimmed his club the third time in the same series and practically put it down and out for keeps.
 Harry Covalesld, the giant left-handed pitcher, was originally a coal miner at Shamokin. Strong and rugged, he gained considerable fame among the miners in Schuylkill county for his skill with the ball, and finally attracted the attention of the packers of the team at Wildwood, Pa, who secured him.
 Covaleski pitched for Wildwood for two seasons, when he was secured by the Phillies in September 1907. In the closing games last year Covaleski, while demon strating that he had speed, seemed un- able to control 1t. Manager Murray sent
