IN 1912" is
The SLOGAN

COURAGED-LIKE THE VII
LACE BLACKSMITH THEY "E'EN
THOUGH VANQUIsHED THEY
CAN ARGUE STILL"

That the Prohibition party has not
given up its hope OF making oregon
dry. is evidenced by the decision made
by the executive committee at q
meeting held in Portland yesterday
to Immediately re-enter the campaign
and to direct it's labors toward max
ing Oregon a dry state In the year
1912.
A letter by Chairman Newell was
read at the meeting. II reviewed the
recent campaign. and. while II says
that the result was not unexpected,
that in some ways the returns were
disappointing. Continuing, II says
that the temperance forces have
emerged from the campaign in better
trim than ever before; that perfect
harmony prevails, and that they will
be In the best OF fighting condition for
the next campaign.
1t is pointed out In the letter that
the complete destruction OF the local
option law clearly demonstrates that
prohibition Is the only remedy for the
liquor evil. and that many who ia
sSred local option in the last cam
paign will now identify themselves
with the cause OF statewide Drohi-
bition.
The management of the party for
the next two years Il left in the hands

? Q | Q

Local polo fans will be pleased to note that Jim McGuire, this city, is making good in the Empire State league with the Schenectady club. The following clipping from a paper of that town tells the story:
 When the team appeared on the floor, McGuire took his place with Daly at rush. Honest Mac is now 9 regular and last. night he fully dem onstrated that he is entitled to the place to which he has been raised.
 Mac is getting more confidence in himself and best of all is willing to take suggestions. Last night show ed the fruits of good hard work on his part to make good. He has made good and will continue in the position of regular rush,
 On the same team with Mcclure is Pete Woods, who was member of the Bridgeport champions, but who is on the injured list with a wrenched knee. The Poughkeepsie club is man. aged by John Allen, who also was formerly with the Bridgeports.

Gibbs Says He Owes
 Much to O'Rourke

Freddie Gibbs, the crack pitcher for the Orators last season writes to a friend in this city from his home in Saco, Me, that he is in the pink of condition and ready to work to his utmost. to make Bridgeport a repre- sentative baseball town the coming season. It will be good news to his many friends to hear that he has put on something like 27 pounds in weight, evenly distributed Freddie was not a heavy youngster so that the extra flesh will come in good need.
 While the snow was flying. Gibbs has been at work as an electrician in Saco, turning down big money
 Gibbs is sure to be one of the few former Orators to be retained by the new management. Manager Jim gave him a fine recommendation to Gene McCann. Freddie caught the eye and hearts of the fans last season by the eagerness with which he went into his work. He and "Rube'' Pollard, who will also be seen about town during the coming season were the only two men on the team who could be de- pended upon to bring home a game once in a while.
 Gibbs wrote to his friend stating that he had learned of the sale of the local club to Gene McCann. He speaks in the highest terms of his former mana ger, stating that he learned many of the finer points of the game by listen ing to the instructions of the veteran.

JOHNNY kLING
 MAY CALL AGAIN
FATE OF PEERLESS BACKSTOP BEFORE NATIONAL COMMIS-
 SION ON FEB 2S

Johnny Kling, the peerless backstop of the Cubs, will have to wait for a 1 fortnight before he knows in what way his plea for reinstatement will be treated by the National Commission. Chairman Garry Hermann has set Wednesday,, Feb. 2S, as the date on which Johnny will go on trial for his official life. On this day there will be meeting of the National Conlmis-
 sioners in Cincinnati. If Elmer Strick- lett of the Superbas and Monte Pfyl
 of the Giants, who now are ineligible players, the same as Kling, wish to get
 reinstated they might as well send in their applications for pardon now, as the meeting of February g, in all probabilities will be the last important enc the Commissioners will have for some time.
 Fans the country over are wonder ing what the Commissioners will do to Kling, whether they will tell him to call again in 1913 or impose 8 stiff fine on the catcher and tell him never to break baseball laws again. If Kling is reinstated he will not get off light ly. Generally a player, when restored to good standing, has been assessed $100. The impression of baseball sharps is that if Kling is reinstated his years lay-off, even if he did have the con sent Of his employer, will cost him s1.00O
 There is a big salary awaiting John ny if he IS reinstated by the National Commission, but his bank roll will be considerably depleted by the stiff fine he wilt have to pay. The rulings of the National Commission on Kings case will be one of the most import ant decisions baseball's supreme court ever. handed down.

A NAME
Chance For Fans to Suggest Appropriate
 CognOmen Fer Orators.

What will be the nickname of the Bridgeports this coming season? ?" was asked last evening by fan, who had not been to a game in five years. The one at whom the query was directed kept on whistling "In the good old Summer time." Bridgeport during the regime of Uncle Jeems were call ed Orators after their silver tongued leader. 'Tailenders' was also a cont- mon name thrown at our Park City representatives, but now under the peerless leader, Gene McCann, a new name will have to be found. Why rot call them the Scouts. McCarn was a scout" replied the first en- quirer. While you are about it,, said the second talker, "dig up a name for the Waterbury club. They have long masqueraded under the name 'Authors,' while under Harry Durant, the playright, but now with Mickey Finn holding the reins, the fans will have to rattle their minds looking for new one. I have given Ep already
 These few statements started au argument, during which all sorts of. names were presented, but none. of them met with approval The read step up and present Q few. While they are about it let them annex one fore poor Jack ,Zeller's Springfields. All are wondering if there is any Of last seasons players left there.

SAMMY TOO
 MUCH FOR "CY''

New York, Feb. 10.-There was a high old time at the Sharkey A. C.. last night when Sammy and Cy, those two members of the fighting division d6 the Smith clan, swapped punches with the padded mitts, with Sammy doing practically all the punching and proving an easy victor in the ten-round bout. Sammy did the punching part of the act very cleverly and Cy was the punching bag.
 At the end of ten rounds of milling Cy looked pretty dilapidated, for even a punching bag. His face was cut and hieeding and his eyes puffed up in great shape. Sammy had nary a mark to show for the result of his doing the punching act. Cy lasted the ten rounds, to be sure, but he never had a chance with Sammy.
 Sammy brought the big crowd of club members to it's feet in the opening round when he dumped Cy to the floor with @ hard right hook to the jaw The force of the blow dazed Cy, but he came back looking for more. And he sgot it. Every time he rushed in Sammy did the sidestep act, and Cy's swings generally went wild. He didn't land a clean cut punch to speak of Curing the bout.

MANAGER M'CANN'S PLANS FOR STRENGTHENING THE
 LOCAL BASEBALL OUTFIT
NEW OWNER OF BRIDGEPORT CLUB DISCUSSES
 SITUATION HERE AND OUTLINES POLICY
Has Already Signed Strong Left Fielder and Has Two Men Coming from Mon treal = Not Many of Last Seasons Orators to Re main.

1 Gene McCann, the new manager of | the BridgeportS arrived in town yes | terday afternoon, and took up tenn
 porary headquarters for his club in the
 Stratfeld. He stated to the scribes 1 that he was here for good providing l he made the team go and that he 1 thought from opinions expressed by outsiders that Bridgeport was a good baseball town.
 | Manager McCann laughed when he
 was told that he had signed Fred Klo- | bedanz, the old National leaguer to play first base. ''You can say for me, that I'm going to get ball players, not former players" said the new | manager, "Klobedanz might be all for my club Pm looking for team
 of nine baseball players, who can pro-
 duce the goods.''
 That Manager McCarn has begun right is evident by his buying from
 the Jersey City club of the Eastern League, Outfelder Eley. "Eley,' he says, 'is a crack outfielder, and can enal speed. I've been over your Con- necticut league as a scout, and don't think there is man who can keep up with him. Jersey City has received Clemens from the Brooklyn club, and Hey had to make way for him. l paved a good price for him, but he is worth it. With Hi Ladd, Eley and an- other good outfelder in action, Bridge port will be well looked after.'
 About new players for the club, continued the new nlagnate i've got my eye out for a number, and intend to announce them within a short while. It would not do for me to give the names of those for whom I am. con- tracting, as I probably might not get them. I'm quite sure of a crack left handed pitcher from Montreal, and also clever short stop from the same plIlh ''

It will be welcome news to the play CTS about the state to know that it is the intentions of Manager McCann to install two modern dressing rooms at the Park. The boys can now have either hot or cold baths just after their nine innings of working and sweat ing. Manager McCann brings to this city the experience he has gained by being manager in an Eastern League club and by being a player himself. He is out to make the money, and realizes that the only way that it can be obtained is to spend it.
 Today the new manager is busy sending out the contracts to the play CTS last season with the Bridgeports. From what I understand he said there are only few of the men who represented Bridgeport last season who are worth keeping. Nevertheless, I'll have all the men I bought with the team come to this city and have them try out for their positions They will have to travel a good bit, as will have men here from other teams who are known baseball players. From what I am given to understand, Koch CT, Gibbs, Miller. Ladd and possibly 'Rube" Pollard will probably make their positions. By that it can be seen other players. But I have a good line on them, so am not worrying
 Bridgeport will make good appear ance on the road, if the ideas of Man ager McCann are carried out He stated today that he intended to have two new sets of uniforms for his club. He has not decided what the road col. or will be, but will have white suits for the home games with a blue t'B.'' It is the new managers intentions also to remodel the stands at Newfield Park
 Manager McCann does not talk of championship team for the first year. He is confident that he will make the club go, and that he will finish well up with the leaders with the idea of doing better the next season.

"TIM'' MURNANE WILL

Tim Murnane, president of the New England League, and sporting editor of the Boston Globe, considered to be an authority on baseball, and one of the best sporting writers in the coun- try will stop off in this city, Saturday and Sunday, to pay a visit to his old team mate, Jim O'Rourke. MT. Mur- nane is enroute to attend meeting of the National League. Murnane like O'Rourke, was a renowned ball play CT in his younger days. He is a na- tive of Westport, and often played against O'Rourke, when the latter was with the Ironsides and Osceolas. Mur- nane has been a member of the Osceo- las
