The Lonox boys appeared for the first

MAKEUP OF THE
1909 SENATORS
Practically Every Position
Settled Except CatCherS
and Pitchers

With the exception of the catching de-
partment. Manager George w. Heckert
has his Harrisburg team for 1903 planned
and I'm every probability two new young
and hustling backstops will be secured to
support the pitchers on whose work
Heck hopes to land the 1909 Tri-State PEN
nant
First base viii likely be filled by Swac-
ina, who played with Louisville after he
had been released by the Pittsburg Ma
tionals. on second base Tom Owens will
likely be found unless he is reinstated
and finds birth with some higher rated
league club. Louis Litschi will again fill
in at short If he can be secured and Eddie
Zimmerman has already signed a contract
TO play third base.
In the outfield Chic Hartley is the only
regular, although Selbach may decide to
return to the game and Frank Huelsman
may not make good with the Athletics.
and return to Harrisburg. In case Selbach
makes good his claim of retirement
Huelsman and Hartley will make good
pair in center and right field and then it
might be up George Heckert's sleeve to
have a bang up left handed pitcher play
left field and pitch one game a week, al
ternating with right handed pitcher or
one Of the catchers on the day he pitched.
Harry Hoch, Fred Smith, Bill Pounds
and ONO recently secured make a quar-
tet of twirlers although there are several
other youngsters on the string who may
make good and fool the wise ones Fred
Smith is the only old twirler signed but
Harry Hoch may return and Heck may
turn up another left handler to help out
the man he has I'm view to play left field
and pitch one game week. OF course
events may occur which may change the
complexion Of things as they now stand
but its pretty good dope that the 1903 SEN
ators will look something like the above.

SEASONABLE.

The Christmas present problem
Looms largely on our view.
II takes a lot Of money
And judgment to pull through,
Just where to'dip IN gently
And whore far ont 10 reach.
Which ones 10 be remembered
And what to buy for each.
Before he starts to count them
A follow wouldn't dream
There were so many children
That held him in esteem,
So many little nleces
And nephews on tho list,
Before he takes a census
To zee that none is missed.
And. though he is determined
To see & through or bust.
He feels TO put It over
That he should own a trust.
His present ready money
May last for half a week;
Then he must strain his credit
Until it springs a leak.
This buying gaudy trinkets
For Archie. Tom and Kate
Is something of a problem.
You'll find this hint is straight.
The Christmas present burden
is on our minds today
Much like an arctic glacier
And will not fade away.

Game

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Dec. 2S.-Be-
fore an audience that literally packed it.
self into Youngs Pier here Saturday
night. the Springs roller polo contingent
from wilmington, administered an awful
walloping to the heretofore considered un-
beatable polo team OF this place. The
crowd was evenly divided as to its favor
ties, and just before the close of the
game the crowd appearingly deserted the
shore boys and took sides for the visitors.
The local boys were never dangerous with
their passing as the Springs boys played
strongly and agressively and blocked
every play that headed home for goal.
The visitors gave an exhibition of trick
passing and scientific playing that has not
been equalled on the floor this season, ac-
cording to the regular attendants of the
game.
"BH" Coward was the star for the Wis
itors, he getting two OF the three goals,
one on assist by Beatty which was so
nicely done as to call forth great applause
from the spectators. Stoddard earned the
first goal for his team. He blocked the
ball from Brady and on swift rush down
Beatty's skates gave him continuous
trouble which prevented him from skating
swiftly. Stoddard and Beatty covered
Clark and Walls to the minute and not
once did the great "Rube" get a chance
to drive home. seiman and McElwee at
goal were two stone walls. nothing getting
past them, although they got lots Of work
to do.
When the gong sounded for the end OF
the game the Springs boys were given a
big ovation. This makes two shut outs for
the Atlantic City team by the champions
of Delaware. The lineup:

Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE

pose as expressed in recent general
orders to prevent the attendance at
the camps Of instruction Of officers or
men belonging to the organized mi
litia who are not in proper physical
condition to receive the training and
instruction which it to be given to the
organized militia during the coming
summer. There Is no intention to re-
quire a new and rigorous examination
it being only contemplated that men
Of the=erganized militia who, for any
reason, are not physically equal to the
performance Of the duties incident 10
the joint exercises, should not be per
mitted to accompany their commands
to the places designated in their in
structions. This would not seem to
require a rigorous physical examina
zion, especially as the captains of com
panies must be sufficiently familiar
with the physical condition of their
men to be able to pass upon individ-
ual fitness with the opportunity OF
calling the medical officer of the com
mand for additional advice in cases

BRYAN's PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN.

Mr.. Bryan's desire for publicity In
campaign contributions is finding I'M
expected realization. 1t begins to ap-
pear that rich men actually v given
money for political uses in years gone
by. Some of 1t found its way to Ne
braska. Mr.. Bryan has meen anxious to
have national Legislation to secure pub
licity. He has accomplished his pur-
pose without that aid. Why should
congress be called upon for action when
nil the information one probably will
care for can be secured through the
help of members of ones own party?
The facts in the case will interest
every one. There has been a great
deal of free criticism of republican
campaign managers because OF their
collections from men of large fortunes.
It looked like a splendid topic for fire.

contest. Linked with anti-imperialism
and the other ants 1t had hopefulness
in it as a vote getter. Provided one did
not live in a glass house himself. 1t
would be a nice, smooth stone to
throw. AZ
The revelations of recent days are
shocking. Rich men actually sent
money to Nebraska to help the cause
of Mr.. Bryan. OF course he did not
know that any money was be-
ing used. OF course none of his
managers knew the source of the sup
ply. The occasional showers of frogs
or fish are accounted for by the the
DRY that the wind probably dips INTO
the water somewhere and carries the
animals far away. That Is a possible
solution of the important problem how
the money from New York or Montana
reached Nebraska in time to do the
most good for the party.
No one will believe for a moment
that any one connected with the man
agement of the democratic party had
any share in such a nefarious project.
1t cannot be. Mr.. Bryan has been an
earnest advocate of publicity. He GER
tainly is finding out some things from
the democratic papers at the same
time that the interested public Is be-
ing enlightened.-Chicago Tribune.

A GOOD DEAL FOR THE PEOPLE

Although there has been consider
able talk in democratic quarters of a
do nothing congress-" the last ses-
sion accomplished a great deal for the
people. The employers liability act,
along the lines made necessary by the
decision of the supreme court, was a
great step for justice. The child labor
law for the District of Columbia is an
example worthy of emulation by all
the state. One of the best acts. per.
haps, was the government employe
liability act, whereby an employe OF
the government injured in the service
receives compensation, the liability OF
the government being recognized by
statute. If killed, the family is given
aid.
The compensation provided is some.
thing in the nature of a pension. The
employe seriously injured shall be en-.
titled to his full pay. during the period
OF his ~incapacity, up to one year, pro.
vided his injury is sufficiently serious
to make it impossible for him to work
within fifteen days after being injured.
and in case of the death Of an EN-.
ploye, resulting from accident, his
family will receive, by way of pension.
one years salary equal to that drawn
by h employe at the time Of his
death. The law presumes that an in.
jury that does not lay of a laborer for
more than fifteen days is not of such
character as to justify compensation
from the government.
From and after August LIST, govern.

Daughter Of Utah Governor Elopes
With salt Lake Young Man.

Ogden, Utah, June 11.-Stealing
away from the home of her father in
Salt Lake City, Miss Mabel Blanche
Cutler, the rretty 26-year-ord daughter
of Governor John c. Cutler of Utah,
was quietly married amidst the SIM
plest surroundings by the ~janitor OF
the court house Tuesday, who, CARRIED
in overalls, performed the wedding
ceremony.
1t was a runaway match pure ana
simple, and was made over the objec-
tons of the distinguished parents OF
the bride. Thomas Edward Butler, the
groom, is a young man of limited
means, and without social prominence.
He has barely enough income upon
which to support a wife. The, court
house ~janitor who performed the cere-
mony did SO by virtue of the fact that
he Is a Mormon elder.
The marriage, when it became
known last night, created a great sen
sation over the state, where the bride
has been socially prominent for some
time.

A business which is not advertised

proprietor, and personality in business
Is a decreasing factor. The public
does not want Il know the mar who
owns the store-it isn't interested in
him but in his goods. When an unad-
vertised business is sold it is only
worth as much as its stock of goods
and fixtures. There is no good will to
be paid for-it does not exist-it has
not'been created. The name over the
door means nothing except to the limit

ate neighborhood, any of whom could
tell you more about some store ten
miles away which has regularly de-
livered its shop news to their supper
