FRICTION AMONG ATHLETlcs2
Connie Mack Has Hard Time Mailing
Rumor About Trouble.

Rumors pertaining TO anything con-
nected with baseball have something
on a prairie fire when it comes to COW
ering ground in a short space of time
and they are just about as hard to
extinguish.
lust now the friends of Connie Mack
are having n hard time over in Phil
adelphia trying to knock the props
from under story circulated to the
effect that there is friction among the
owners OF the Athletics; that Mack
has thrown down the gauntlet, VIII
sever his connections with the team
and take charge of Frank Farrelrs
New York aggregation.
Though the story looks absurd on
the face of II, yet there are those IN
Quakertown who insist that there is
fire beneath all the smoke. Connie
Mack and the others interested with
him in the Philadelphia club certainly
could not have any reason for friction.
If there Is one thing that Mack knows
II is to attend to his own affairs. Fur
thermore his success has been so
marked that even If he were not a con-
genial character the other owners
would make concessions to hold him
for purely business reasons.
The story is undoubtedly the dream
Of some individual who has taken
pleasure in spreading it, and yet every
4, 4. xxs1
has not been often-the defeat is blam-
ed on the friction which rumor says
exists among the owners of the CLUB.

ed by former boards of Selectmen and by virtue of such acceptance closed up without the recently discovered dis crepancy having been disclosed. The last board of Selectn1en did make a casual inspection of the books with view to such closing. They did not go so far as to compare the two sets of figures but noticed that many bills had not been paid and asked MT. Cor ham if he did not think he could col he could and so the books were return ed to him. In the event of his refus- ing to make good the alleged shortage the town will doubtless bring suit to recover the amount. The responsibi1- ity of his bondsnen ceased with his term of office but a judgment would be co1lectib1e as he owns considera ble property.
 Had MT. Gorham been so inclined he could probably have held the office of collector to the present time through successive elections, but for a peculiar close of his third term. In Septenn- Der of that year the Selectmen while assembling material for their annual town report learned that MT. GOrham had made no return of his collections to the town treasurer. They chased after him in an effort to get an inter- view and explanation. but did not see MT. GOrham until it was too late to get the figures of the collections in their report. On the Saturday previ- the treasurer S3,O00 or $4,000 he had collected and banked.

a choice. 81.
On the second ballot Thursday
night Vardaman received one vote
more than he ever received before
since the balloting began and was
within nine votes of the nomina-
tion. On this ballot Percy also
received the highest vote he ever
polled before, an increase Of three
over his highest previous vote, or
80 short of the, nomination.
The caucus adjourned after the
3rd ballot Thursday night to meet
again Friday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
When the editor of The Leader
was in Jackson Thursday the opin-
ion was quite general that the last
run-off would be between Vardaman
and Percy and that Vardaman
would prove the winner. The
Vardaman supporters were reso-
Lutte, active and very hopeful.
On tue other hand the deadlock
may be kept up by the weaker can
didates all remaining in the contest
until the Legislature adjourns, and
Vardaman's election prevented in
that way.
In that event the McLaurin seat
would become vacant until the
Legislature meets again. as Senator
James Gordon's appointment can
only hold good until his successor
is elected at this session. or until
the legislative session ends. In
case no election is reached by the
Legislature the Governor can not
fill the vacancy a second time by
appointment.
So much discord and dissatisfac-
tion was created in the camp Of
the anti-Vardaman allies by the
way in which Alexander was Sc
EcretIy fired, that it is stated the
allies are very much in doubt as to
the policy Of attempting another
joint secret caucus Of their follow
ers to get rid Of other candidates
in the combination.
The result Of Friday evenings
balloting was not known when this
report closed. but it was not likely
to be any very material change
in the situation.
