Attorney General Sets ut Rest some
Campaign Stories Being Circu-
lated--~Knows the Man.

Austin, Texas, July 4.-Attorne,g
General Lightfoot Saturday afte--
noon gave to the press the following
statement:
Some Of the daily press q few
days ago published statement that
an estrangement existed between
General Davidson and myself. ] an
advised that the report is being cir
culated that am unfricndly to his
candidacy for the office of governor.
In justice to myself can not afford
to permit this statement to go UNI
CHALLENGED.
1T has been and is still the desire
of both General Davidson and myself
to make our races Independently and
without undue participation in the
campaign waged by either.
THE observance Of the properties
in this respect has evidently furnisl,-
ed the basis for that report, and liz
asmuch as an effort is being made tc
prejudice General Davidsons candl-
dacy thereby, and also to place me in
the unenviable light of being un-
friendly to one who has been SO kind
to me, | deem it but proper to him
and Just to myself to deny these re
ports and to say that our relations
have always been and are now OF the
most pleasant and agreeable.
AS attorney general he had the
confidence and good will of all asso-
ciated under him, and today carries
with him their best wishes. know
! that he is intensely devoted to the
welfare and upbuilding of the vast
| interests of our state, and feel that
as governor, in shaping the policies
OF his administration, his every act
would be measured by the effect il
will have upon the homes of the
masses who toll ard produce the
/ wealth of our state.
Every consideration of gratitude

son, entities him to and he win o

PITCHED BALLS
BRING DISASTER
Ball Players Hit by Thrown
Sphere Lose Their Form.
MAY FORCE CHANCE TO QUIT
Cubs Great Leader. Struck on Head
by Ball Recently, May Manage Team
From Bench-Cascs Cited Whers
Stars Lost Their Effectiveness.

Being hit by pitched ball may
cause Frank Chance to quit as an nc.
tive player and manage his team from
the bench. In the fourth inning of
great manager was hit on the head by
pitched ball He fell as If he had
been struck by club. The ball pitch
ed with all the speed that Gaspar com.
handed. struck the manager on the
left temple and cut open his head. At
the expiration Of five minutes he was
able to hobble to the bench where his
head was bandaged.
Being hit by pitched ball seems to
take the heart out Of many ball toss
ers. Baseball history shows that near
ly every star player that has been In
jured by being struck by thrown
ball is never the same afterward
For instance. there Is Charley Carr.
now manager of the Indianapolis team,
IN the American association. Several
years ago Carr looked like the best
batting and fielding first baseman in
the country. He had his nose broken
by pitched ball while travelling VITA
the Detroit club in the south He was
never able to maintain his previous
batting ability after that Detroit
traded him to Cleveland for Hickman,
and Cleveland sold him to Cincinnati
From the last named town he went to
indianapolis where be has been ever
since.
Hnehey Jennings bad his big league
career cut short by being hit with Il
pitched ball, as did Dom Paul Kruger,
formerly of rittsburg. Danny Hoff
man was Connie Macks most valuable
outfelder until he stopped an inshoot
with his eye. The following year he
was Of little value to Philadelphia ana
was sold to New York From there
be went to st Louis, where he has
shown some Improvement.
Eddie Summers when with 1ndianap
oils gave Jap Barbeau a terrific JOLT
on the head. For q time it was thought
that Rarbeau would die as the result
of the blow. but he finally recovered
and played n brilliant game at short
for Toledo the following season. But
he has not hit as we'll as formerly
Then there was Bill Bradley. whose
| arm was broken by an inshoot deliv-
cred by Bill Hogg. who died recently.
Prior to his accident Bradley was a
300 hitter and as much feared by op-
| posing pitchers as Nap Lajoie But
such is the case no more. Prior TO
being hit by Hogg. Bradley was fam
ed as being particularly skillful in Ink
| ing his base rs a result Of being hit
with a pitched ball After that mem.
orabe game ut New York he attained
