FOLK FOR PRESIDENCY.
Good Man, Comments Commoner
on Former Missouri Governor.

on + Ormer Missouri Governor.
New York, May 21.-It will be up to
the next Congress to determine whether
the next President shall be Democrat,
Mr.. Bryan believes. Mr.. Bryan sailed
to-day on the steamer Celtic as dele
gate at large from the United States to
the International Missionary Conference
in Scotland. Judge George Gray, Of
Delaware, was fellow-passenge with
Mr.. Bryan,
If the next Congress, which / be-
lieye will be Democratic, with the mem
bers of the majority hailing largely from
the West, makes a favorable record in
view Of the Democratic gains at the last
presidential election, when $500, 900
Democratic votes were polled, believe
that an additional million votes will be
won, insuring the election OF Demo-
cratic President, said Mr.. Bryan just
before he sailed.
Mr.. Bryan was noncommittal as to
personalities likely to figure in the race
for the Democratic Presidential nomi-
nation.
Governor Folk is a good man and
well qualified, " was his comment when
the name of the former Governor of
Missouri was mentioned. AS to Mayor
Gaynor he said:
Mayor Gaynor has made brilliant
record, and is an able man. But as
matter Of fact, concluded the former
candidate, "a year must elapse before
there can be any discussion or presi-
dental possibilities.
Judge Gray, who is the United States
Commissioner to The Hague in the con-
ference over the fisheries dispute with
England, was asked what he thought of
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, as a Dem
ocratic Presidential possibility. Judge
Gray said he had known Governor Har-
mon for many years and that he was an
excellent man.

MURPHY GETS

NEW YORK. April 9-In view of Tommy
Murphy's close call with Battling Bill

Gotham fight fans are to-day asking how
1t was that Murphy won a decision over
owen Moran, the English scrapper
Murphy was supposed to have been in
as good shape last night as he was when
he whipped Moran, but his showing was
disappointment to his friends and removes
him, for the time being at least, as a
likely opponent of Ad Wolgast for the
light weight championship.
Hurley put up a game fight and by his
aggressiveness almost offset the vastly
superior cleverness Of Murphy.

GETTING SCARCE
Comparatively Few Good

Southpaw pitchers are beginning 10

leagues. Last season only nine plavors
IN the American League battod 800 or
better and two Of them participated I'm
less than thirty games In the Nation
al League there were seven 800 hitters
and three OF them took part In loss
than seventy-fve games.
Southpaw fingers are SIN very nion-
tiful In the minor leagues. but tho
pitchers who hurl from tho mort sid,
who have been able to deliver tho do
sired article I'm the major orraniza-
tons have been getting scarcor each
year
Eddie Plank and Doc White have
good records. while Rube Waddeu has
been campaigning long time and pro-
ducing the right kind OF unhittablc
oHerings good share Of the time. Ed
killan has been good az times. but his
arm Is none too good. Last year Harry
krause, Of the Athletics, created a SEN
sation by his consistent pitching. He
showed conclusively that he is a high
class southpaw and will be a great
help TO Connie Mack's pitching star
this season.
Burns. Groom, Gray, Bailey and Gra-
ham have pitched good ball at times
and any Of them may show up well
this season, but so far they have not
been real consistent winners.
OF the crop Of young pitchers now
being tried out by American League
teams there is small number Of
southpaws in the lot. Perhaps the
most promising left handler in the col
lection is Jim Vaghn, Of the New York
Yankees. Great things are expected
Of this big finger and judging from
the way he is going now he should be
one of the leading southpaws of the
season.
Detroit is trying out two left-handed
pitchers in addition TO Killan. Brown
ong and Pernoll are both port side
beavers and so far look good. Kellogg
and Tommy Atkins. with the Athletics.
are left handlers, while Boston has Col
Inns and Karger, both of whom finish
ed the season with the Red Sox last
year.
Jimmy McAleer has three southpaws

Manager Duffy, of the White Sox, will
probably keep three left handlers this
year to work with Walsh, Smith, Scott

landed two good southpaws in Linke
