GAYnOR LEADS
ALL THE REST
New York Mayor Strong
Guberna9orial Possibility
Committee for Him.
CONVENTION SEPT. 29

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 20.-Democrat.
ic leaders who linger In Saratoga to
day after the meeting of the Demo
cratic state committee are almost
unanimous In expressing the belief
that nothing can prevent the nomina-
ton of Mayor William j. Gaynor of
New York for governor If the mayor
signifies a desire to head the Demo,
cratic state ticket.
The state committee selected Rocl.
ester as the convention city. Sept 20,
at noon, was the date chosen for the
state gathering.
The state committee passed resolu-
tions expressing sympathy for Mayor
Gaynor because of the recent attempt
upon his life and condemning the act
of the would be assassin.
There were many conferences among
the committeeman at which the pros
poets for Democratic success In the
state this fall were discussed.
1t was noticeable that there has been
steady growth Of the Gaynor boom
cover from his illness In time to under
take a strenuous campaign, however,
has complicated the situation. The
leaders are not certain either that
Mayor Gaynor would leave his duties
in New York city to accept a nomina
ton for governor.
Congressman Sulzer said he believed
he was gaining strength throughout
the state. He received no pledges of
support, however. Other possible can
didates mentioned include Thomas NJ
Osborne, State Chairman Dix, James
S. Havens, Judge Martin J. Keogh Of
Westchester and former Justice ID.
Cady Herrick.
Charles +. Murphy has declined to
commit himself, making the statement:
"Tammany Hall will support any can
didate that is acceptable to the party
at large"
A number of booms for minor state
officers were launched. John S. Wha-
len of Rochester, former secretary of
state. is a candidate for nomination
to the same Office. The up state COM
mitteemen were talking Of Village
President James D. McNulty Of Sara
toga for the position. Winfield A.
Huppuch of Hudson Falls Is in the
field for comptroller, while Frederick
Collins of Elmira had friends urging
his candidacy for associate justice OF
the court Of appeals.
AS the Republican state convention
is to be held in Saratoga Sept. 27, the
Democrats will know the names OF
the opposing candidates before they
select their own.

fendant in a suit to recover 81 900.

of Hriczko g stand toward a contract
for copper roofing the Greek Catholic

The trustees were unable to agree on
the contractor when the board met to
let the contract, and Hriczko 3 firm
ness led to the alleged graft charges.

mission.
The major league, meaning the
National and the American leagues
of baseball clubs, offer to young
players what great corporations
offer office boys and junior clerks
advancement for merit, skill and
natural ability, and recognition for
work we'll done. . -
The minor leagues are the inter
scholastic grades of baseball and
the majors are the intercollegiate.
The men who rise and remain in
the majors long enough to acquire
competence and a countrywide
reputation are the men who go
into baseball as they would into
any other profession, and devote
the same intelligence and care to it
that the successful merchant de-
votes to his business.
The day Of the rowdy has passed
in baseball. The day Of the care

The public demands the best and
will accept no substitute. The
men who succeed are the men who
start right and stay right. If they
show more than ordinary ability in
the minor leagues they are tried
out In faster company, and If they
continue to improve they climb to
the majors.
But the day has passed when
major league managers will pick

DAY OF BASEBALL RQWDY PASSED, SAYS HERMANN
MERE ABILITY NOT SUFFICIENT FOR MAJOR LEAGUES

I young ball player who emulateS
them is bound to succeed.
To the young player l say, if you
are ambitious to succeed:
Attend strictly to business.
Don't let praise turn your head.
Don't let a poor season discour-
age you, but stick everlastingly at
it. Success comes when least ex-
pected.
Avoid dissipation as you would
a rattIesnake. It is the easy road
to failure.
Accept the advice Of older play
ers in the spirit it is offered.
Don't think because you have
successful season you are a won
der.
Don't kick over the traces or i'm
agine the public cares what you do
If you can't agree with the man
agement. Only great stars can af-
ford to do this, and sometimes they
cannot.
Don't bait the umpire. The most
successful players take the good
with the bad and consider it all in
the days work.
Play to win, but play fairly and
honestly. Keep yourself in good
physical condition. Study the game
as you would any other interesting
problem.
Don't become afflicted with the
idea that you know it all if you are
drafted or purchased by major
league club.
Don't lose heart if you make an
error at a critical time, but deter
mine not to repeat the Offense.
Confidence in the face of fire is
half the battle.
When you do reach the majors,
remember you are with the select
and are recruit. If you show the
proper spirit you will be treated as
one of them. The day has passed
when recruits are bullyragged, and
old players gladly help youngsters
if the newcomer shows the proper
spirit.
