BASE BALL NOTES.

Both Chicago and Washington have
many left-handed batters and of course
each manager will run In southpaw twirl-
ers as often as possible during the series.
Managers Jones and Griffith should take
warning and leave the jumps alone.
They only weaken their teams by being
suspended and gain nothing by being con-
sidered umpire baiters.
Altizer and Clymer will continue to rest
on the bench as long as the southpaW
pitchers show up on the rubber for the
visiting teams.
Catchers are watching the bases, parti-
cularly first base. more closely this season
than heretofore and making more putouts
at the first bag.

Campaign Without Distraction.

THE campaign his friends have made
for him has been to present his qualllca
tions for the high Office. without detract
ing from the merits of Any other candi-
date. His support is voluntary. He has
not endeavored to get support either by
coercion or persuasion. Indiana repub
leans desire above all else the election
of the ticket and in presenting their can
didate TO the convention it will be done
with the belief that he will, at this time,
be the strongest candidate. They believe
his nomination will insure the states of
New York and Indiana. which are nee
eSSary to an election.
Il have talked with many republicans
throughout the country and I believe he
is the second choice of more delegates,
already elected. than any one mentioned.
When the delegates meet in Chicago face
to face with the problem as to who will
get the most votes in November l believe
they will turn to Indiana as they did in
1888 He will receive the cordial sup
port of the wage earners of the country
as many of them have Endorsed him and
there has not been breath of opposi-
ton whispered against him. Clean able
safe and sensible. his nomination will
unite all elements of the party better
than any one else and carry it to victory
In NoXember.

Brentwoods Beat Bladensburg.

The Brentwood and Bladensburg teams
played very interesting and exciting
game of ball yesterday afternoon on the
formers grounds. which was won by the
former lads by the score of 3 to I.
The playing of Robert Hartley for the
losers was Of high order. In addition to
pitching fine game he connected with
one of Thompsons shoots and made three
bases on the hit. He counted witn the
only run made by Bladensburg. He pitch
ed the entire game and allowed but one
hit the errors of his teammates having
lost the game. He, like Thompson. struck
out ten batsmen. but the latter was given
good support and got away with vic
tory.

Acceptable to Every Element.

He is accepts able to every element of
the party. There is no factional oppos-
ton to him. He was the close friend and
adviser Of the lamented Mckinley and
helped solve the many difficult problems
in that wise and magnificent administra-
ton. For four years he has been a con-
sistent supporter of the present admins
tration. holding up the hands of the
President at all times.
Nominated for Vice President in 1904
he made a magnificent speaking cam
paign in almost every state in the Union
and is. consequently. well known to the
rank and file of the voters. He believed
that year that the republicans could
carry Missouri. and by his campaigning
did more than any one else TO carry that
state. The same can be said of the re-
cent state campaign in Kentucky.
His attitude during the last year has
attracted attention and admiration. While
the campaign has been going on he has
been attending strictly to the duties of
the high office to which he was elected.
His ability and fairness as a presiding
officer of the Senate has called forth
praise Of the democrats and republicans
alike.

WILL Be OPENED FORMALLY
FAIRBANKS CAMPAIGN TO BE
PUSHED WITH VIGOR.
Joseph B. Healing of Indiana De-
clares That the Vice President
Has a Good Chance.

The campaign of Vice President Fair
banks. which has been quietly in progress
for some months. is to be formally open
ed and pushed with vigor upon the ar
rival of Joseph B. Healing Of Indiana in
Chicago within a few days. The head
quarters will be at the Auditorium Annex.
Before his departure from Washington
Mr.. Healing made the following state
ment:
THE friends of Vice President Fair
banks feel confident that the republican
convention will open It's proceedings with
out a majority Of the delegates being for
any particular candidate.
1T will be a deliberative body and not
band wagon affair. At this time al
most all of the delegates to the conven-
tion have been elected. No one has
majority OF the delegates. and the man
who will win In the end will be the one
who. according to the judgment of the
convention. can most easily be elected
in November. In my opinion Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks has a good chance. He
has a solid state back of him who will go
to Chicago in his interests and support
him 10y ally and enthusiastically because
they believe he will make the strongest
candidate. His ability and character are
rao0Dpfzed
