Wolves in Sleeps Clothes.

We presume that there is no one
doubt that Mayor Speer and the crowd
he leads was opposed to Bryan and
would have prevented his nomination
il they could have done SO. On Mon
day a certain Mr.. Guffey, former pol
itical tutor to Mayor Speer. had this
to say OF Mr.. Bryan: He is the
most imprudent, domineering, devas-
tating boss the Democratic party has
ever known" In the same interview
which was published in all the Den
yer papers, he calls Mr.. Bryan a "seli
convi cted falsifier. hypocrite. the
real and most arrogant boss ever
known in the Democratic party and
an ingrate." The next day nine out
OF the ten Colorado delegates voted
in favor OF seating this man Guffey
and his crowd against the practicany
unanimous report Of the committee
on credentials. Does anyone believe
that these delegates would have sup
ported Bryan If they had not been
bound by uneQuivocal instructions to
do so? There is a STATE convention
to be held soon, and there are some
RADIO should remember. From the
Speer crowds standpoint they are thu
only Democrats-all others are Pat
tersonites." 1t was the Patterson
ties" of New York, Indiana, Illinois.
Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska anu all the
other great states who nominated Mr.
Bryan Its fortunate for the Demo
cracy of Colorado that this crowd has
had an opportunity to show its hand.
Prior tothe Glenwood convention they
had a great many Democrats fooled
and it took their fragrant opposition
to Bryan in the national convention
to open the eyes Of others, but we
can all see now. Mr.. Democrat where
will you be when this gang of Colo
RADIO Guffeyites comes after you to
support them in the state convention
We had hoped that the Glenwood con
vention had brought harmony, but
the papers that had before supported
Speer's side of the controversy have
kept up the fight and the delegates
selected by that convention have
gone as far as they dared to go in
opposition to the will of the conven-
ton. We believe it is time the pap
ers that are in harmony with the
Democracy of the nation take up the
gauntlet and do battle against these
wolves in Sleeps clothing. Mr.. Bryan
says he wants his enemies in front of
him, not behind him, and those Demo
crats)?( who believe with Mr.. Cuff
fey that Mr.. Bryan is a ''self-convict-
ed falsifier. a hypocrite and migrate"
are enemies to Mr.. Bryan and have
no more place in the Democratic
party than MIR. Guffey had in the
Denver convention. The convention
decided that point for them.-Fort

THE GREAT soCKALExIs.
Another Story About the Famous h.
 dian Baseball Player.

At irregular intervals story is printed about Sockalexis, the great Indian baseball player, who was at one time member of the Waterbury team and Is remembered by thousands of old-time Waterbury fans. Strong drink was his ruin and, he is said to be almost wreck at his home in Maine at the present time. Here is the latest story concerning him:
 No memory of my days in Cleye- land stands out more vividly than does the recollection of the coming and going of Louis Sockalexis, says Patsy Tebeau, formerly manager of the Cleveland club, recently. No player, to my knowledge, ever sacri- i feed so much on the altar of his ap- petite as did the red man.
 We signed Sox for $1,500 year and raised him to $2,400 almost im- mediately. When he began to drink and stay out all night, finding that 1 fines and threats were useless, prom ised him s6,000 the next year aud $10,000 the season following if he would stay sober and play ball. He ] all DuI hC couldn't let the strong stuff alone.
 The season he joined us he cele- brated the Fourth of July, which came on Sunday, by carousal, dur ing which he jumped out of secoDd- story window of some red-light place. His right foot was badly broken by the fall, but he bandaged it up and went with the other players to Pitts burg that night. I went over the next day, hurried out to Exposition park, and there in the bus was Sox, his broken foot swollen to four or five times its natural size.
 'I sent him back to his hotel in Cleveland and doctor put his foot 1 in a plaster cast and ordered him to not even turn over. in his bed at the hotel: But do you know that the old fox would actually get up in the night and walk block on his plaster bound foot to get drink of whiskey? Even at the hospital, where he was sent later, he managed to get his liquor by the quart every day.
 Poor old Sox! It's tough to think of him dying in poverty when he might have made $10,000 or $12,O00 a year on the ball field. He was not only worth that as an attraction-no. body ever heard of Cy Young, Kid Childs, Bobby Wallace or any of us while he was with Cleveland-he was worth it for his playing ability alone"

FLAG COURSE FOR CREWS.
Work Will Be Done Before Oarsmcn
 Reach New London.

New London. May -25.--When the Yale and Harvard boat Crews come to this city next month to prepare for their annual regatta on the Thames June 25, they will find the four mile course all Jagged for their training. This will give the crews tic benefit of several weeks work over the &C., tual race course and will assist the eoxswains in preparing for the races.
 For the last two years the course has been Jagged yearly, tut this year the work will be done eari'er than ever. Several of the shore markers by which the flags are set have been destroyed during the win ter and will be replaced by a civIl engineer at once.
 It is reported here that the Ydie crews will come to New London the first week in June. President r. N. Chappell of the board of trade, an old Yale man, who has superintend- ed the Tagging of the course for cen years, saw the Yale eight at work last week and pronounced them very | fast despite the annual hard lucx reports which have been sent out from New Haven this spring.
 President Chappell has also seen old Harvard men, who have seen the Crimson crews at work. and they Ic- port the Harvary varsity this scar Is an exceptionally fine crew and is row ing in great form.
 A meeting of the board of trade will probably be held within a fcw days at which a regatta committees will be appointed. President Chap pell is the present chairman, but IS fin doubt as to whether he should con- ! tinne.
 1 Considerable work will have to be done this year by the board 0f trade. A large post on the hill which marks the starting flag Is Town and several of the shore markers aTe gone. A small dock from which ihe mile mark was measured was car ried away by fee last winter Civil | Engineer Loren E. DabCll will re. place these markers at once from hil maps and after that ilagging tEs course will begin. It is believed that the flags will be in place by June 1.

MAY CHANGE SCORING RULE.
Rulemakers Said to Favor Giving Hit When Ground Ball Is FumbIed.

In a quiet way the rulemakers of the big baseball leagues are getting the opinions of the players on the proposed amendment to the section regarding the scoring of errors. If the change is made next winter, as 1t seems likely to be. errors will only be charged for muffed fly balls, muffed thrown balls and wild throws that advance one or more runners.
 In case of fumbled balls the bat ters will be given hit in all cases.
 Although many players urgently advocate the innovation. the adop- tion of the proposed amendment would be the most unpopular move the rulemakers could make, for it would put the slothful and slovenly man on par with the energetic and artistic player. Because two fans do not agree as to whether a fumbled grounder is hit or an er- TOT is no indication that the play will not be correctly recorded by the experienced men in the scorers box The handling of ugly bounders is an art acquired only by long years of patient work. It would be a manifest injustice to the marvellous infielders of to-day-the Wagners, the Devlins. the Doolins and the La joies-to match their work, as this no-error-on-fumbled-grounders rule would do, with the mediocre play CTS who are too indolent and too in. different to acquire the wonderful knack of going after the elusive grounder in the right way.

"TOM" LYNCH. UMPIRE.
Favorable Comment on His Work in
 National League.

New Britain, May 25.--"Tell me where I can get any better men than now have and I will get them. Such a splendid umpire as Thomas J. Lynch of New Britain was lost to the game because he could not secure the support that was due him." The quotation is taken from a sketch on baseball written in a sporting magazine by Jacob C.. Morse. The compliment 10 Mir Lynch is fully deserved and the es- teem expressed in the article is held by others. But 1t was hardly on account of lack of support that Mr Lynch left the national game. Mir Lynch had other good reasons.
 Mir Lynch is the manager of Russ win Lyceum in this city and now devotes all his time to business. He still takes a lively interest in um- piring.
 The postman" and Puritan um- pire," as he was called fin the old days, is an adherent to old princi- ples. The nickname of "postman was given him perhaps on account of the fact that his brother. Bernard Lynch. is mail carrier. The other title was given him because he refused to umpire games on Sum- days

FOR OLYMPIC GAMES.
American Marksmen Expected to
 Make a Good Showing.

Washington, D. C., May 25.-ln
 whatever respects America may be
 weak in representation at the Olynl-
 pic games in London next July 1t will
 be strong as far as craftsmanship IS
 concerned. Both the National Rife
 association and the United States Re-
 volyer association are preparing to
 send teams to compete with those
 from other nations. The arrange
 ments for the sending of the team of
 rife-men have been changed some
 what from the original programme.
 When 1t looked as though America
 would not be thus represented, the
 United States Cartridge Co came to the front and offered to pay the en- tire expenses of the team. This gen
 erous offer was accepted by the Ma tional Rifle association but no sooner had it become known than there was a vigorous protest against allowing an
 ammunition company to incur the ex- pense of sending team abroad to sustain the prestig, of American
 arms against the world, especially, in contest where the sole reward is | the addition of a number of points to l the score of the successful competing | nation. Pledges of support were | forthcoming to an extent that the ex- executive committee of the National
 Rife association reconsidered its ac- | tion and decided to open public sub scription for this purpose. Albert $. I Jones, secretary of the National Rifle association. whose headquarters are I in this city, was designated to re- ceiye the subscriptions and it is eX- pected there will be a generous re- sponse from the patriOtically inclined | citizens who wish to see American
 arms triumph at the Olympic games. l The new United States rife will be l used for the first time in competition
 with the world and it is up to us to send a team abroad capable of sus- 1 tainng the reputation of Americans for marksmanship against the finest shots in the world. To secure the will be exhaustive tests, probably held in Washington. under the super vision of committee consisting of
 General James A. Drain, president of the National Rifle association and
 captain of the team, General William
 P. Hall, adjutant general U. S. A. and
 General Lawrason Riggs of Mary
 land The team will be selected after
 competition to be held on the range
 at Camp Perry, Ohio, June 10. H.
 F and 13, the range having been
 placed at the disposal Of the execu-
 tive committee for this purpose by
 Adjutant General Critchfield of
 Ohio. On the evening of June 13 the
 team will be announced and a few
 days be given for preliminary ar.
 rangements before it reassembles or
 some eastern range for practice. II
 will sail on June 20 from New York
 on the St Louis and will reach Bisley
 range, where it will be quartered
 some nine days before the matches
 While the team will thus have only
 about F or 13 days practice as [
 team it Is expected that this will bt sufficient and that America will sweeI the boards. The army, navy, marine corps and national guard will al strive for representation on the tean and 1t is expected several civilians will secure places. Several member of the naval academy team also ex pect to compete. r.
