Johnny Evers to
Stick with the Cubs
Little Second Baseman is Recovering
and Expects to Take Old
Job.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Johnny Evers ex-
poets TO guard the middle sack again for
the Cubs next spring. The little second
baseman's broken ankle is mending with
all possible celebrity, and he believes that
he win be as active as ever by the opening
OF the 1911 base BAN season. Evers has
had more than one opportunity to become
a manager. and with his vast knowledge
OF the game there Is small doubt that he
could lead team successfully; but he pre-
fers to retain his old position under Frank
Chance. Evers viii not join the Cubs until
the end OF May in all probability. He has
received a good offer to coach the United
States Naval Academy team during Feb
ruarY, March April and May. Hvers will
accept probably, because he figures the
training trip would affect his ankle.
Johnny is not tied up as most bali play
ers are, because the last contract he
signed provided that he should be given
his absolute release II At the time Of its
expiration he saw chance to better him
self His remaining with the Cubs Is
therefore an entirely voluntary proceed
ing. Evers has a house and o shoe store
IN this city, which probably influenced his
decision He says:
Il am in business here IN Chicago. and
have decided that as far as my base BAN
career goes II will be cast with Chicago.

entertain any further offers Of managerial
positions from other cities and wanted 70

1911 yet, but expect to do 30 shortly. I
never expect to wear any other uniform
than that Of the Cubs"
Before leaving for his home IN Glendora,

told him that he was free to so II he 90

JEFFRIES TRIES A
FEW ON CHOYNSKI

Ben Lemond, Cal, May 5.-John Choyn-
ski had his first tryout with Jeffries to-
day and at the close of the three-round
bout said that while he was in excellent
shape himself he was a mere baby in
the big mans hands. Choynski has as
sumed charge of the boxing and will at
tempt to make good showing with the
pugilst in bringing out his fast points
and old-time cleverness. Papke donned
the gloves first, Jeffries being gentle as
gentle goes in the workout. He sent a.
stiff right to the Kewanee's right eye.
Better not use that on me again, -
Papke whispered as the men flddled
around, and thereafter Jeffres used his
left hand entirely After the set to with
Jeffries Papke said: Il wish had boxed
with Jeffries all the time. Not once did
he hit me hard Intentionally and a fell
low can learn whole lot. But I was a
mere baby in his hands When he leaned
his weight on me a couple of times L
thought he was going to break my back. y
Choynski is evidently in better shape
than any of the other boxers in camp
He displayed much of his od-time agility
and prowess and came out of the contest
without much distress. Jeffries delighted
his trainers by displaying a CLEAN of
old-time foot work. He romped around
the ring like boy who loves the game.

friends, and many politicians who havs
heard him speak, have urged his en-

he owed 1t to his party to use his
great gift for campaign work. Mr.. An

suggestion. He says he likes to minglo

and that his present methods allow
him that privilege, while political work
would not. When Mr.. Andes begins
his lectures here, which will be given

at the vacant lot on Third avenue, Cd

BOURNE PRAISES
LAWS OF OREGON

Washington, May Recommending the
election law system of his state, Senator
Bourne of oregon in an extended speech
in the Senate today aroused a general de-
bate on the question of representative
government, especially upon the effect of
the southern states of the present system
of selecting federal officials for that
great section. Mr.. Bourne dwelt in glow
ing terms upon the present method of
conducting elections and securing office
holders In his state. No sooner had he
taken his seat than Senator Bacon of
Georgia entered upon a plea for change
whereby the southern states would be
accorded more voice in the appointment
I of federal officials than is now permitted
under the referee system.
The Georgia senator's speech evoked
extended remarks by Senator Carter of
Montana in advocacy of change in the
postal system, taking that system out of
politics.
Disclaiming any intention of being par
tisan, Mr. Bacon asserted that the fed
eral offices in the south were used as
mere reward for campaign service and as
a conspicuous part of the spoils system.
Agreeing with suggestion made by his
colleague, Mr.. Clay, to the. effect that
rule should be adopted against the con-
firiration of any federal appointee not In
dorsed by the senators from his state, Mr..
Bacon entered upon a general condemna-
ton of the referee system prevailing III
the south.
Suggesting that the Interference In The
selection of federal Apprentices still would
pre- serve the spoils system. Mr. Hale
urged upon Mr.. Bacon the necessity of
discovering a remedy which would avoid
this difficulty. Mr.. Bacon, however. in
sisted upon the right of members of Con-
gress to at least guide in the matter, be-
cause he said they were under the law.
Mr.. Gallinger suggested that the a7op-
ton of a primary election system would
supply complete remedy. Mr.. Carter
found in the postal commissions proposed
change in the laws a penacea for all Ills.

BOSTON BANK LOSES
THROUGH FOREIGNERS

Boston, May 5.-Operations of clever
forger, who secured almost 5000 in cash
have just been revealed to the Boston
police authorities by the officials of the
National Shawmut bank, which lost that
sum through bogus checks. Three checks
two for small sums and the third calling
for s4S75, were used by a man who gave
his name as Samuel Cohen" They all
bore the alleged signature" of Allen Ar
mold & Co.
Cohen had previously transacted a
small amount of business with the brok-
erage firm and was slightly known at the
bank, so that the checks were readily
cashed
The forgeries were committed over two
weeks ago, but were not discovered until
this week.
/. The bank was the only loser and the
sum was quickly made good by President
William CASTOR.

have carried the county for lieutenant
