Interest in Campaign.

Considerable Interest has been man Ifested throughout Dallas County du- ring the past few days in the Bryan Johnson race. Other names on the County and State ticket during the en- tire campaign has not caused the en- thusiasm as has been evfnced in me presidential race during this week ana Johnson and Bryan talk may be heard everywhere.
 Johnson's packers and supporters in the County have grown and multiplied fast during the last week of the cam paiRn. Some of his warmest adherenta even contend that when the vote has been counted after the Monday pri- mary that it will be found that the Minnesota Governor has carried Dal- las County. The Johnson men are working hard for a victory Monday and whether they carry the County or not will poll a handsome vote. 1t Is be- iieved.
 The Bryan supporters in the County are not as active as are the Johnson men. But the Nebraskan has many warm followers in Dallas County and they claim that he will carry the Coun- ty by a handsome majority.

NEW MANAGER FOR DODGERS
Donovan Released by Brooklyn Base-
 ball Club.

At special meeting of the officers of the Brooklyn National League club held Tuesday night 1t was decided to replace Patsy Donovan by some one else as manager of the Superbas for 1909 Just who will get the position was not definitely settled. It appears that the club officers believe that Donovan, who has led the team for three years, was not able to get the best results from his players. In an indirect way the name of Jimmy Sebring, the outlaw player, who at present Is the property of the Chicago Cubs, was mentioned as a probable successor. It is understood that the Cubs are willing to turn sebring over to Brooklyn and, if he Is reinstated, he may lead the Superbas next season.
 President Charles Ebbets sent let ter to Donovan informing him of the action of the club officers. In the com- munication the owner of the Brooklyns stated that the difficulties which the manager had had to face were fully ap- preciated and that he, Doffovan, had undoubtedly given his best efforts to his employers The move was not wholly unexpected. At the close of the National league season there was some talk of such an action.

Captain Murphy Announces He Will Have Charge of Yale
 Baseball Team.
PLANS FOR EASTER TRIP
Leader Chooses First Base for His Own Position, Leaving Left
 Field.

Captain Fred Murphy of the Ynlo baseball team last night announced the appointment of Tad Jones, who cap tained the team last spring, as head coach for the team this year This means that the graduate coaching sys- tenn which was naugurated last spring by Captain Jones will be continued, but that there will be Q head coach to have charge of the work instead Of leaving all the burden on the captain and al- lowing different coaches to advance dif- fent ways of playing positions, result Ing Tn mixing the players up,
 ThlS was the result to a certain ex- tent last spring when different coaches tried to teach Charlie Williams how tC play third base. Some told him 1t was his place 10 run forward on a hunt others told him it was his place to look out For third base alone. Finally Will Hams In disgust played the position after a fashion of his own, which was very successful
 Captain Murphy will not play Jeff field again this year, but instead will so to first base. No one was found last spring who was satisfactory on first base, so that finally Captain Jones pIdStu tue ppSlIun nlnSell m tne liar yard and Princeton games. Coy was tried out early in the season. but while he was a good enough first baseman he did not make q hit while a member of the team. Philbin was then given the bag, but while a fairly good man with the bat could not cover the posi- ton.
 There will be an Easter trip this year, but probably such an arduous one as that of two years ago it will not be, Last year the Easter trip was abandoned, and the team remained lr New Haven. The Easter recess lasts for two weeks this year and the team will be here only a few days.
 Of last years team Jones, Dimes Williams, Clifford and Wylle will mol return. Beside Captain Murphy there will be back the shortstop Grover c Fels, the rlghtfielder, Henry NJ, Wheat. on, and s. II. Philbin who was a sub. sttute catcher and first baseman Cushman will probably play third base Howard Jones is the only pitcher lost by graduation. the pitchers remaining being J.

JEAN TOMORROW.
Zc Big Frenchmnn VIII Lead New Britain Polo Team.
(Ry the official scorcr.)

The New Haven polo club, after to- nights rest, will hurl itself into the thick of battle, when the New Britain aggregation pays a visit to the Qun- nipiac rink tomorrow night. There Is little doubt that the contest will be a good one, as both quintets have been putting forth glt-edged brand of polo.
 Freddie Jean the big Frenchman, will be seen at the rink for the first time this season, and the dashlng play of the gigantic center will easily cap tivate the admiration of the enthusias- tic fans or course. Jean will en- deavor to break up any semblance of team work on the part of the Bone yards, and the chances are that he will be only allowed to attempt such rashness, for to permit Freddie to do 1t would be the height of folly and also mean the loss of the contest,
 George Bone and his stars, on the other hand, have only had their ap- petites whetted by their recent de- feats, and Tuesday nights loss to BroclSton will be made up for to-mor- row night Both teams will fight with vengeance and the fans who travel to the Fair Haven rink will be re- warded with a brilliant contest.
 Roaring Red Rorty will again be our guest tomorrow night and the unfortunate who who attempts to rough it will be immediately penal ized by the impartial and just ref cree.
