l DESERVES THE POPULARITY WHICH HE ENJOYS
Statement by Hartford Times on May or Lippitt's Candidacy for State Treasurer.

. There is no longer any doubt as to the candidacy of Mayor Costello Lip pitt of Norwich for the republican nomination for state treasurer. Mayor Lippitt has made formal announce ment of his candidacy. says the Hart ford Times His candidacy disposes of the place which New London coun- ty is to occupy on the state ticket. 1t will not be secretary of state, as was thought at one time. New Lon- don cannot reasonably expect to be given two places on the same state ticket. It is believed that the county will be satisfied with the nomination of MT. Lfppittr Two years from now it is expected the office of secretary of state will go to New London coun- ty so far as 1t may be placed there by the republican state convention, but if things go on as they have been going for some months, the placing of the offices in the different counties may be in accordance with the nomi- nations made by the democratic state convention. However, that is a sup
 position which may not be warranted even by the succession of important democratic victories on local issues which have recently occurred. The matter must be left to the political analyst Mayor Lippitt is one of the most popular men in public life in eastern Connecticut and he deserves the popularity which he enjoys. He is making @ very capable mayor of Norwich and he is looked upon in
 financial circles throughout the state as an able financier. He is the father of Bank Commissioner Norris Lippitt.

Several hundred dollars were spent there on repairs and the cruise up the coast started Captain Gibbons had written to the owners here and put in at Norfolk to get their reply and instructions.
 On the way to Norfolk they made only a small catch, having had poor luck thus far on the trip started last September. but 1t is believed that they will make a good strike off Hatteras' As whale oil is high now. there is a greater incentive for seeking the whales.

Expected Seamen VIII Reconsider
Judge Brown visted Whaler Margaret Off Old Point
 Out Soon.


 Judge Brown has returned from his southern trip to Old Point Comfort. where he had conference with Cap- tain Gibbons of the whaling schooner Margareft regarding the trouble which the crew has caused It was learned that the schooner had put aboard plenty of the best provisions, having arrived there with a fair supply, but added $500 worth more. It was the hrst time the crew had an opportuni- ty of getting ashore since arriving from the Barbadoes, where they stayed eight weeks for repairs. and it was rather tnefr desire to leave the life of a sea- man rather than the lack or quality of the provisions which made them cause the trouble. The schooner will, how ever, put to sea soon for five months cruise on the Hatteras grounds, as the indications are that the men will stay by Captain Gibbons, who is an ex- cellent official, as well as those under him.
 The schooner was laid up at the Barbadoes three weeks longer than

EDDIE COLLINS IS
A WORLD BEATER
Called Greatest Base Bali
Player by Several Nota-
BILE Veterans.

CHICAGO. October 4.-Pop Arson. Bill
LANCE, Jimmy Callahan and a host of
other old-time star ball players are still
marveling at THE all-arOund ability Of
Eddie Collins of the Athletics They
look upon him as the greatest player in
the world, placing him ahead of Cobb,
Lajoie, Evers, Wagner and the other
famous stars
They have never seen such marvellous
work on the paths Collins showed in
the Tuesday matinee at Philadelphia,
when he stole on Johnny King twice as
clean a whistle Eddie tried to steal
here Thursday and would have gotten
away with it but for the fact that the
path was very heavy a result of the
continuous fall Of rain. At that the de-
cision was very close.
1t was in the fifth inning of Tuesday S
game that Collins proved conclusively
that he has his wits about him every
! minute of the time. Lord was on first
Collins was worrying Brown and King
at the plate. Lord started for second on
a pitch and Tinker started as if to cover
the bag Eddie took in the situation at
glance. and. letting fly with his bat,
he placed the ball down toward the spot
vacated by Tinker. 1t was a marvellous
! bit Of rapid-tre thinking To many it
looked like an accident. but such was not
the case. as it was apparent that Collins
waited until Tinker was out of position
before throwing his bat at the ball Tin
ker stopped short. made a grand stop,
and by lightning throw nailed Lord at

succeeded in recovering the ball in time

These are but a few examples of the
