LINCOLN. Neb July 6.--(Special)-
William Jennings Bryan is out with
a long pronunciamento in which he
insists that the great issue in Nebraska
at the coming campaign must be county
option. He will not consent TO It's being
set aside for any other issue. He says he

not say he win not run for the United

After reciting the governors refusal TO
call an extra session OF the legislature
for the PURPOSE of submitting an amend
ment 20 the constitution providing for the
initiative and referendum. Mr.. Bryan says:

Following this, Mr. Bryan argues at
length for the pledging OF the democratic
party and It's candidates to the passage OF
a county option law by the next legislature,
He declares himself as being utterly OPP
posed to the liquor interests at all times
and under all circumstances and refuses TO

The st. Louis club has asked waivers

because he wants to get away from the
system of trying to better the Nationals
by taking players which other clubs are
willing to part with.
Hoffman is a good ball player. and on

star, but l will waive on him simply be-
cause II is the policy Of the Washington
club to fill weak spots with young ma

pitch Walter Johnson against the Ath-

Considering the fact that Bill Otey is

batters in practice for half an hour be-

against the Browns was most credita5le.

dale made several sensational pick-u2s

performance would not show up near as
well.
The arrangement to have Umpire Evans
work behind the bat in every game
proves most satisfactory. Cmpires OF ex-
perience should be placed in charge of
the game, while their assistants should
be given the base decisions. In this way
the double-umpire system could be made
absolutely satisfactory. This thing OF
having the umpires alternate behind the
bat Is a mistake. When a man proves
himself competent I'm one position he
should be kept there. BY placing all the
seasoned men on the staff behind the
bat and the recruits in the field the
American League staff would be an ex-
cellent one. and IL may be that Chief OF
EMPIRES Sheridan will recommend such
system.

! Barney Petty pitched a good game OF
ball. but his support was even better
than his pitching. On several occasions
brilliant bits of fielding. helped Barney
out of holes; but the best play OF the
day. and the one which really gave the
Browns the victorX was Hoffman's catch
OF Gessler's long line drive to right CEN
ter. which had all the earmarks Of a
three-bagger. and as there was but one
hit. had IL gone safe. would have put the
locals right in the game. 1t seemed i'm
possible for the tailenders to make a
wabble. They scooped up all sorts OF
grounders and made four double plays
which did much to put the Nationals out
of il. Up to yesterday the Browns had
figured in fewer double plays than any
other team in the league, so that their per-
Torrance yesterday was complete re-
versal Of form.
Incidentally. II was not very compli-
mentary to Jack O'Connor to have the
| Browns score shut-out on the only day
he has been absent from the team.
Pitcher Link, the lefthander secured by
st. Louis from Cleveland a few weeks
ago, was released to the Indianapolis
club of the American Association yester-
day.
When facing a right-handed pitcher
Danny Hoffman looms up as an excellent
batter. He is just about as dangerous q
man under such conditions as could come
UP in a pinch but there never was an
easier mark for a left-handed pitcher
than this same Hoffman. He can't even
swing properly at ball when facing a
southpaw. and usually strikes out with
out making a foul. Otey famed him
three times yesterday.
One would naturally suppose that Hoff-
as have other left-handed hitters. but he
is no better today In that respect than he
was the very first time he saw a left
handed pitcher. and for that reason Is
never played when a southpaw Is work
ing against the Browns. He was left In
yesterday because the visitors had a good
lead but Otey found him the easiest kind
of proposition.
After putting up such a sensational
game Monday Schaefer had an OF day
yesterday and dropped two balls thrown
right into his hands. His mum in the
opening inning. when Newnam's erounder
to Elberfeld should have forced Stone at
