Cincinnati Times Star Alludes
TO Famous Questions Bryan
Did Not Try to Answer.
PART OF THE CAMPAIGN
Literature in the Mckinley
Bryan Contest Reeds Cues
tons to Bryan Were.

CINCINNATI. o., Mar. 13.-The
Times-star this morning contains a
good likeness OF Senator Stuart F.
Reed. of Ciarksburg. w. Va, and
says of him:
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, who aspires
to the position of secretary of state Of
West Virginia, is not unknown TO Re-
publican leaders in Ohio. Mr.. Reeds
ability was discovered by the late Sen
ator Hanna during the first Mckinley
campaign. Bryan was sweeping
across the continent attracting large
crowds and receiving ovations that
were disconcertlng to Republican
committees. In West Virginia a
monster Bryan meeting was billed
for Clarksburg, the home of Mr..
Reed, who was editor of the TeIe-
gram at that time. To offset the
probable effect of this meeting was
one OF the problems confronting the
Republicans. Reeds solution of the
problem was an editorial directed to
Mr.. Bryan asking him in his Clarks-
questions relative to his free silver
theories. These questions were so
adroitly framed that they could hard
ly have been answered without mar
ring the beauty OF Mr.. Bryan's 16 to
] argument, and II. Is needless to state
that he avoided them. Senator Han
ma. chairman OF the Republican COM
mittee. seeing the editorial in some
paper that had copied it. at once
noted the force and relevancy of the
questions. and without delay he ar
ranged to have 1t printed in Repub-
lican newspapers throughout the Uni
ted States. As printed the column
was headed Reed to Bryan" and 1t
was generally thought the author was
Thos. B. Reed, the great speaker
from Maine. Some time afterward.
the real author of the article, Stuart
F. Reed. state senator and editor
of Clarksburg. West Virginia, was
introduced to Senator Hanna IN
Washington. and before the cam
paign closed Mr.. Reed was invited 10
come to Ohio to participate in the
speaking campaign in President Nc
Kinley's home state. Among Mr..
Reeds possessions are the letters he
received after the election. from both
President Mckinley and Senator Han
ma. expressing their thanks for his
splendid work in that campaign. Mr..
Reed was one of the founders of the
Republican editorial association and
is vice-president of that organization.
In the Roosevelt campaign of 1904 he
was selected by the association at its
Washington meeting to serve as one
Of the Ave members of the literary
bureau of the Republican National
committee.

Mike Mccormick sent word to President Kuhn that he was sorry for what he had done and wanted his old position back but MT.

Further more, he has improved wonderfully in his fielding. ng.-Nashville American.
 President Crowder's official promulga- tion of batting averages in the Cotton States Baseball league show Tom Reilly. the hard hitting Gulfport shortstop, in possession of the leadership with an aver. age of .313 Frank Manush, native of Tuscumbia who is playing with Colum- bus, is second on the list of regulars with BOT and the race is pretty one be- tween these two for premier honors which they have fought for all season. The leading base stealer has been Reif of Me- ridian, followed by Geiser of the same team, with 22 and 20 respectively. Ellinor of Meridian is the leading pitcher of the league. In 10 games he has won eight and tied two. Sample, an old Nashville twirler, is second, with record of seven won and two lost.-Exchange.
 It's strange that Manager Moleswortn. who must realize that his pitching stan needs repairing. doesn't try out Cy Hick- ey, the New Orleans semi professional. It was reported not long ago that deal was on between Hickey and the Barons. but for some reason it didn't develop any thing.
 Hickey seems to be out of his class among semi-pros down here. He has had wonderful success this season. and expe- rienced baseball men say he would have little trouble making good in the Southern league.
 Certainly Molesworth. or any other man. ager who needs a pitcher, would lose nothing by giving Hickey trial. Turner is losing practically all his games for the Barons: Fleharty is i'll and Robinson, Robertaille and McNeal are the sole de- pendence of the Barons.
 Managers have more than once over- looked good material in the local semi pro field, and 1t looks like somebody IS passing up a good man in Hickey.

 Of the several reports in connection with the Stockdale case one is to the ef- feet that he was prepared to take the matter to the civil courts and seek dam ages for being "blacklisted and pre- vented from earning livelihood.

 All this coming when Bill Douglass IS absent makes the situation even bluer.

FYank Bags Baxter And
 RvQn Can HAbe SAbYie

It is rumored in Birmingham that the reason Baxter was canned Is traceable to the demands of certain fans in Mont gomery, who stated to President Cham bers that unless the Moose" was turned adrift they would not patronize the games. It is said that the reasons for this demand were concerned with an all legation that Baxter had done some bet ting against the Pretzels in one of their games against Atlanta. One of the Mont gomery papers commented to some length on this matter, and, incidentally. entered a denial for Baxter
 Before leaving Montgomery, the report is that Baxter became engaged in a per- sonal difficulty with prominent citizen of that place.

It seems true that when a man gets in the hole, everything and everybody con- spires to shove him deeper.
 When man is down, in other words, it seems that then bad luck leaps upon his body proudly.
 Now, the Barons are as deep in the hole as they possibly can be. Therefore. it would seem more proper had hard luck inflicted its punishment on the teams higher up-New Orleans, Atlanta or Nash vile, for instance.
 But it is true that although the Barons are deep in the cellar, luck is breaking badly.
 The Barons have always needed pitch CTS. It was, therefore, the most cruel blow

Baxter, the former Montgomery first baseman, who was canned without cere- raony or stated reason is now Pelican, and will displace Eddie Sabrie on the New Orleans initial corner.
 Acording to New Orleans exchanges, Sabrie has refused to return to the South Atlantic league, and he may go to Mont gomery.
 Manager Ryan did not confirm this ru- nor last night and insisted that he was we'll satisfied with Ed Greminger.
 In a conversation with Manager Ryan last night, no reason was assigned for the dismissal of Baxter The only expres- sion in way of explanation was this: When a man gets too big for his party, he always gets it in the neck"

game as far as the Barons were con cerned.
 i The Pretzels had opportunities to score. In the third Spike Shannon, with one down, hit to right for three bases Thom- as then hit safely to the infield, but Shan
 non, for some unknown reason, remained glued to third. Then Thomas stole sec
 ond, and although Raub hurled the
 sphere to Downey, Shannon remained
 glued to third. Pearson then struck out and Ryan retired the side on a long fly to Henline, in the catching of which the former Montgomery star did an excep- tionally fine bit of fielding.
 In the sixth again the Pretzels had
 opportunities.
 Thomas started this inning with a l luscious bingle over Demont, and Pear l son hit safely over second. Ryan, at l tempting a sacrifice, hit to third, where l Walters, receiving the ball, forced Thom-
 as out. Reagan, the former Birmingham player, hit to pitcher and made an easy out at first Greminger, approaching the pan with a look of confidence, was ex- ceedingly chagrined when Robinson
 laughingly passed him to first, filling the
 sacks. Perry, following, hit easily to Robinson and never saw the light of the initial corner.
 And thus the Sleepers lost their only
 chances to register a protest against the
 second shut-out game that Robinson has scored against them

 Therefore, when in the second inning

 those luscious drives that Meek alone understands how to smash out. It fioated ] on line until it cleared the outfeders. 1 Then striking the ground, it bounded

 The Barons had another opportunity to
 tally in the third, when, with one down, l Downey hitting safely to right, went to l third when Reagan let the drive get l through him. Robinson flied out lightly to right, however, and Manning made an easy out to the infield.
 And so, as stated above, the Barons
 were unable to tally until the sixth, l when Robinson made the circuit and
 scored the run that will prove more ex- 1 pensive than any other the Barons have
 made or will make this season. The details of the game. which was | without special feature, are to be found
