BASEBALL NOTES.

Pitchers loom up bravely among the
leading batsmen of the hour. There are
several In the 300 circle who have been at
bat enough times to make their per cent
age of some weight.
II the Cardinals should win the National
League pennant, George NJ. Conan Will
be $4,000 richer He has been backing
the Bresnahan outfit at long odds 1t is
not certain, of course, whether real mon
ey or stage money is at stake
There are few teams In the American
League that have not yet won a game
from Russell Ford. but IL would be diff
cult to find case parallel to Christy
Mathewson's records against Cincinnati
A clean line of 81 straight victories over
that team in period extending over
three years is most remarkable.
James, the Cleveland pitcher. who when
on the mound looms up something more
ti4an seven feet. had trouble in locating
the plate from his coming tower in Phil
adelphia and the Athletics profited there
by just enough to beat him. At home he
had the range. to our Red Sox confusion.
They are waiting for revenge
Charley Doom and the Phillies will
have the sympathy of the whole base
ball world on account OF the serious ae-
cident to the hustling manager. Dooin's
personality and indefatigable energy have
been great assets to the Philadelphia
club. and it is the hardest kind of luck
that he should be disabled at a time
when the club is playing under the ham
dicap of the loss of stars of the Magee
and Titus quality That Titus is about
ready to play regularly after his long
obsence will improve somewhat bad
condition of affairs.
1t Is very possible that Kelly. Marty
O'Toole's battery partner, may be respon-
sible in some degree for the wonderful
success of the pitcher. and at the risk of
tautology IL might be well 10 suggest to
Barney Dreyfuss that he should not de
prive O'Toole of any of the tools in the
use of which he has achieved such dis
tinction. o'Tooie is reported to be espe-
ciaIiy anxious to have the Pittsburg club
buy Kelly's release. but it ought TO be
some consolation 10 look forward hav-
ing catcher like George Gibson on the
receiving end.
Talk about intense feeling in base

President Makes Another Mistake.
1t is difficult to see how President
Taft's 1900 mile swing around the
circle can end in anything but q sorry
spectacle for himself
If he tells the people the truth about
how he vetoed the honest attempt of
both branches of congress to reduce
the high cost of living in this country,
how upon taking Office he filled his
cabinent with men connected with the
law breaking trusts, and how he tried
and nearly succeeded in giving Alaska
away to the land grabbers, he will dis
credit himself.
If Mr.Taft juggles the facts in the
slightest degree, the insurgents
"swinging along his trail, will point
out his misrepresentation with such
truth and logic that the president
will be more discredited than il he
had remained at home.
The record of the Taft administra-
ton is one that can not be debated
with any credit to the president Mf.
Taft has himself to blame, together
with men like Aldrich, Penrose, Gug'
genheim and Lodge, to whose advice

Spring Lake, N. j., Sept. Eff the
solution of some of the great prob
lens confronting the nation at the
present time is to be assisted by the
intelligent discussion of men well
qualified to speak on the subjects as
signed them, then benefits of a wide
spread and lasting nature may be ex-
pected to result from the annual con-
ference of the governors of the states
of the Union, which assembled at the
New Monmouth hotel here today. 1t
ia, perhaps, one of the most notable
gatherings that has ever met to con-
slider questions pertaining to the pub
Nc welfare. The conference will con.
tinue until Saturday.
The roll call by Secretary William
George Jordan of New York developed
the fact that thirty-six states were
represented by their chief executives,
with the probability that several 9th
ers will arrive in time to take part
in the later proceedings of the con-
ference. Maine and California, Wash
ington and Florida, with practically all
of the intervening commonwealths,
were represented. In addition, the at
tendance included several members OF
congress, financiers of note, educators,
jurists and captains of industry who
were specially invited to take part in
the deliberations.
The gathering was called to order
promptly at IL o'clock this morning.
The proceedings began with an address
of welcome by Governor Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey and a response
for the visitors by Governor Joseph
NJ. Carey of Wyoming. The program
for the remainder of the day included
papers on Strengthening the Power
of the Executive" by Governors EN-
NETT O.Neal of Alabama and Edwin l..
Norris of Montana and an address by
Governor Augustus e. Willison ol
Kentucky on the Possibilities of the
Governors Conference" which was
listened to with close attention by the
distinguished assemblage.
Employers liability and working
mems compensation will be the gener
al topic of discussion at tomorrow
sessions. rhe opening addresses viii
be made by Governors Eugene N
Foss of Massachusetts and Charles
8. Deneen of Illinois. A business ses
sion will be held in the evening fol
the consideration of the preliminar!
plans for the conference to be hel'
next year.
Thursday will be given over to th'
consideration of two subjects of gen
eral interest and Importance. Th
first will be the inheritance tax, oi
which subject the discussion will b.
led by Governors John A. Dix of New
York and Edmond w. Noel of Mis-
sissippi. The second subject is 9TH
Right of the States to Fix Inter-Stat
Traffic Rates." which will be dis
cussed by Governors Chester H. A
