principles for which the Republican
party stood in the days OF Abraham
Lincoln; and, furthermore and espe-
cially, because believe in treating
these principles not as dead but as
living Empty Qualification of our
past amounts to less than nothing IL
we put it forward as an excuse for
not doing our duty in the living pres
ent. We can deserve the confidence
of the people by proving in deed as
well as in word that we face the
problem of dealing with political and
business corruption and of working
for social and economical justice and
for the betterment of the conditions
of life and the uplifting of our peo-
pie with the same fervor and SINGER
ity that Lincoln and his followers
brought to the great tasks allotted
to them in their day.
Corruption in every form Is the
arch enemy of this republic, the arch
enemy of free institutions and of
government by the people, an even
more dangerous enemy than the open
lawlessness of violence, because 1t
works in hidden and furtive fashion.
We are against corruption in politics;
we are against corruption in business,
and, above all and with all our
strength, we are against the degrad-
ing alliance of crooked business and
crooked politics, the alliance which
adds strength to the already power
full, corrupt boss and to the already
corrupt head of big bust
ness, and which makes them in their
dual capacity enemies against whom
every patriotic man should stand with
unwavering firmness. Let no man
say that this is an assault upon the
honest business man. That is as
foolish as to say that 1t is an as
sault upon the upright political lead

sons holding 'possessor rights to

When Tiger BaCkstop Is in Form Few Eastern League Catchers
Have Anything On the Young Fellow Who Started
the Year With Such Promise and Was
Going So Well Until Hurt. Il

XXYHEN Joe Crisp, the sturdy Tiger
WV backstop, is in form few re-
ceivers in the Eastern League
lave anything on him. Under Joe Nc
Ginnity's instruction the Kansas City
lad has developed wonderfully, and had
he not met with an injury in May that
has kept him out of the game most
of the season he would most likely
long before this have been purchased
by some major league club. Crisp
began his professional career back in
1906 with the Tulsey Club, of the South
Central League. During that year he
played wonderful baseball and was
picked up by the Winnipeg Club. of
the Northern League, the following
spring. He helped the W~innipegers win
the pennant by catching every game
his team played that year, n was
the sensation of the league both in
sticking and fielding. The following
year the Kansas City Club plucked Joe
from the bushes" and he made good
from the start. He played in Kansas
City, which is his home town, part of
the season of 1907 Inc in 1908. In 1909,
however, like most players, he grew
tired of playing in his home town and
longed to play in the East, where the
weather is generally cooler. 1t vas
around this time that Manager Nc

Ginnity, of the Tigers, heard of Crisp
and purchased him from the Kansas
City Club. He played with Newark
part of last season, but gave way to
Blair toward the close. He started
with a rush this spring and was burn
ing things up Doubles. triples and
homers were contributed by Joe this
spring in every game he played, and
he was the sensation of the league.
Big league offers came pouring in on
McGinnity for Crisp's services from
every side until on May Is Newark and
Buffalo jumped to this city for a game.
With Starr at bat and a man on first
the batter put up a high foul. Crisp
went after 1t and made a sensational.
catch, but was unable to check his
flight and fell into the depression M
the visitors bench. He injured his
right knee, n it has never mended
properly. Crisp was born in Lone Jack,
Me-, and spent much of his early life
in h open air, so that he has ac-
CURED a rugged constitution. At an
early age his family moved to Kansas
City, n that town has since been his
home. Before playing professional base
ball he played with several amateur
towns in and around the Missouri me-
tropolis. Crisp has a big league career
before him. 9N -

National Amateur Championship
Also on the Card for
Decision.

~ NE Of the most attractive bike
~ cards has been arranged for the
Sunday afternoon sport at the
Velodrome track. Seven events in all
have been placed on the program, in
Guiding q quarter-mile national anna
teur championship event and a special
match race between Walter DeMara,
the Salt Lake City rider, and Paddy
OSullivan Hehir. Then there are three
other races carded for the money
chasers at distances which are popular
with the riders and lovers of the game
alike, and a three-mile open for the
junior professional money-grabbers.
The s~imon-pures, besides riding In a
titular event. will also ride in a two
mile handicap, in which some more rare
sport should be witnessed.
The national race and the match
affair is attracting the most attention
of the fans The match race should be
one of the best of the season, as it will
bring together two of the best sprlnters
in the game. Hehir, as the fans all
know, is riding like a house afire this
year and is simply burning up the track
with his speed. DeMara rode in great
form all summer at Salt Lake City be-
fore coming here, and right now Walter
Is In grand form and ready to ride the
race OF his life. The race calls for the
best two out of three heats. The first
will be at a half-mile. the second at a
mile and the third, If necessary, will be
decided by the toss of a coin.
Amateur Championships.
The amateurs will start for the sec
ond time this season their chase for the
national amateur championship crown.
Early in the season the point race was
on, but the men who had scored points,
with the exception of two, have since
been turned professionals. Now, with
the amateur field more evenly bal
anced, rare sport should be furnished
by simon-pures in this event. Jerome
Steinert, Adam Byerman, Frank Blatz,
Carl f. Ericsson, Henry Van den Dries,
Bert Turton, Frank Cavanaugh, William
Penn, Earl Adams, Louis Cone, @. r.
Hawkins and Herman Kjeldsen look
like the most promising candidates for
the title. The latter is riding in great
form this season and many believe that
he will wear the crown. Jerome Stein

Since last Sunday the champion has
not been in the best of sorts, for his
disqualification was a bitter pill for
him to swallow, especially when II
came in a national championship event.
All week the East Orange boy has
trained with the idea of making a clean
sweep on Sunday, and he will be the
most disappointed rider at the track
unless he accomplishes the task that
he has set for himself.
