BASEBALL NOTES
AND COMMENT

The Athletics met Commander Peary
last week. Billy Murray should have
been in the party. He knows what a
real frost is.
Milwaukee is famous for something In
addition to that which it advertises. Man
ager McCloskey is the only manager in
the American Association who hasn't
claimed the championship for 1910
Arlie Latham is the only rival OF Ed
ward Payson Weston and J. Pierpont
Morgan for giving age the laugh. On his
hftieth birthday in the Marlin last week
the former great third baseman stole sec
ond and third.
Is Horace Fogel a foxy German or is
he not? After a week spent In Philadel-
phia. the president OF the Phillies re-
turned to Southern Pines on st. Patrick 5
Day and brought with him a bunch of
shamrocks and Irish favors.

Bill Dahlen looks 10 have a strong COM
bination to start the season with. Now.
If Charley Ebbets will only remain at his
desk in the Office, Dahlen may bring the
Brooklyns home IN a good position.
Brooklyn is well fortified in the outfield.
Wheat is surely find, and Hunter should
develop into one of the best hitting out
fieIders in the National League
The veteran baseball authority. Tim
Thurman. in speaking of Individual star
players on a team, adds:
Should Wagner have an of year. It
would make hard shedding for Barney
Dreyfuss. Should Ty Cobb spring a
charley horse. it would be an easy mat
ter TO beat out the Tigers The failure
Of Mathewson to show real form would
make a second-division club of the
Giants while Evers out of shape would
take the life from the Chicago Cubs. &"
Here is where the Athletics differ from
the bunch. So long as Connie Mack
stays in the game. there never will come

New York. March 2O-'The Htghlanders

indications amount to nothing" said
President Frank Farrell. who arrived
home to-day from weeks stay at
Athens. Ca. "Of course, the players have
not had chance to extend themselves
at the training camp in the South. but
they have shown enough to convince both
Stallings and myself that the team has
been greatly strengthened. In appointing
Hal Chase captain OF the Highlanders
the premium has been placed on speedy
play and ginger. Chase has begun his
new task with all kinds OF enthusiasm,
and the players are with him to man.

three other corking good innelders in

see Johnson work out at his best. but this

not try out Madden and Daniels.
''Criger. Kleinow. and Hemphill will ar

needed TO coach the pitchers. for Mitchell

LORIMER LOSES TN
FIGHT FOR DELAY

Chicago, Sept. 26. = The senatorial
ub-committee on privileges and cleo
lions, which convened here to investi-
gate h alleged fraud in the election
lof United States Senator William
ILorimer, decided today to proceed at
this time with the taking Of testimony,
and not to postpone action until after
the November elections, as urged by
the senator's attorney.
At the opening OF today's session,
Chairman Burrows also announced the
committee would permit Attorney AL
fred Austrian, representing the Chicago
Tribune, and Judge Elbridge Hanecy,
representing Senator Iorimer, to APP
pear in the hearing.
Attorney Hanecy presented his for
NAL motion for a continuance of the
hearing until after the November eIec-
tions. The reason advanced was in
substance similar to the argument
made by him yesterday, when he de-
clared that Senator Lorimer would be
handicapped through a disinclination
of Legislators now under Indictment to
testify before the committee. The
Tribune's list of witnesses was sub
mitted and the committee began con-
s%ideration of methods of procedure.
The committees decision overruling
Senator Lorimer's plea for delay was
announced by Senator Paynter. OF
Kentucky, who said:
THE committee has given due on
sideration to the presentation made
for a continuance of this hearing until
after the November elections, n has
not found the reasons contained there
in Of sufficient weight to warrant the
delay"
