CAPTURES
PLAYERS TURNED
DOWN By NEWARK
Hesterfer and Hennessy, Former
Colts, Will Be with Bisons
Next Season.
BURNHAM'S CASTOFFS
MADE GOOD FOR OTHERS
BY G. A. FOSTER.

X Larry Hesterfer will wear the
livery of the Buffalo team next
season! And with him will be
Joe Hennessy, the hard hitting out
fielder, whom Manager B%urnhanl set
adrift after n brief try-out last season
and then went out and helped Will
Transport win the Tri-State League flag.
Queer how ball players get shifted
around the country. Canned by one
manager as "has beens," they bob ND
with another club, playing the game OF
their lives. Then Mr.. Fan gets out his
little hammer and plays an anvil
chorus, entitled "He (the manager)
didn't know a good man when he had
him"
Buffalo has had a hankcring for Hes
terrier ever sine a certain day in 1906.
That was Hesterfer's last season with
Newark. The Colts started the cham
pionship race in great style that year.
n for a couple of weeks they were
feared in every town on the Eastern
League map.
NeWark wound up it's first long home
series tied for first place with Buffalo.
The Bisons had played four games here
and won two. Pitcher Fertsch defeating
them in the others. Then tho seat of
war shifted, the Colts going to Toronto
and the Bisons to their home pastures.
Burnham's men put away two out
of three games at Toronto and Buffalo
o the odd at home in the series with
Jersey city. Consequently, when the
Colts hit Buffalo they were still tied
for the lead with the herd.

the game; Bobby Wallace. Claude
Ritchey, Alperman, Lewis, Pitcher
Frank Smith. of the Chicago Ameri-
cans; Patsy Flaherty. Outhelder Bates,
of Boston,; Jimmy Pastorius, Frank
Killen and many others are all pr)i-
ucts of Western Pennsylvania, and AS
long as thousands of our young 1tcn
devote time and attention to the n
tional game the minor leagues around
here are sure to develop players strong
enough for the major league. In the
opinion OF good judges. Starr, f
Youngstown; Shriver, OF Z~anesvlile,
and Wetzel, of East Liverpool, were
the most promising of the 1901 lot.
Maddox, of Wheeling, should be IN
cluded, but he received his trial last
fall and is hardly in the experimental
class. 1 do not say that the other three
will make good, but all will get a lair

This saved Rasty from a beating that

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. s

North Dakota electors will have
the opportunity this fall to vote for
any one of the five sets of presiden-
tial electors representing the various
candidates now in the field for pres
ident. All of the parties have certi-
fed the nomination of their presi-
Dental electors to the secretary of
state and the representatives of five
candidates will go on the official bal
lot, although some of the party or
CARNATIONS are now in the state, no.
tably that of the independence party,
which was founded by W. R. Hearst
and which got in the field in this
state late but effectively, so far as
providing the nomination of electors
was concerned. The Populist party,
which is represented in the presiden-
tial campaign by Thos e. Watson of
Georgia, and the Socialist Labor
party, which is distinguished from
the Socialist Organization, have no
candidates for presidential electors
in the state. The candidates whose
electors have been nominated and
will be printed on the official ballot
are Taft, the Republican candidate,
Bryan, the Democratic candidate,
Chain, the Prohibition candidate,
Debs, the Socialist candidate, and
Hisgen, the Independence candidate.
1t is a peculiar fact with reference
to the presidential candidates this
year that there are two Williams,
two Eugenes and two Thomases.
As to the vote, it is certain that
Taft will have a considerable ma
jority In the state. The policies fol
which he stands, the quality Of the
man, the prosperity Of the people Of
