EFFORT TO POSTPONE
MEXICAN ELECTION
REYES FACTION ANXIOUS FOR
PoSTPONEMENT ON ACCOUNT
OF UNSETTLED CONDITIONS.

Mexico City, Sept 11.-Delegates
to the Reyes convention in all prob
ability will join this week in the petit
ton to congress for a postponement
OF the presidential elections. This
was the opinion frequently expressed
il. the lobbies of the hall where the
initial session of the convention was
held Sunday. That congress may
grant the request is not improbable
since a majority of that body are men
who were named during the Diaz re-
gime and are inclined to agree with
those who insist that the nations af.
fairs are yet too turbulent to permit
OF an impartial vote being taken, but
if a new date is fixed IT will be against
the vigorous protest of the Nader
istas who realize the danger of Civ.
ing their political enemies more
time.

conventions preliminary work will
be completed and that tomorrow the
work OF choosing General Bernardo

New Way To Keep a City Clean

Minneapolis is blazing new trail.
She has found out that no city that
wants to be clean city can neglect
its garbage handling, and she has
gone to work to set pace for the
rest of us. The real beauty of it,
too, is that she has solved the gar
bage problem-or more nearly solved
it than has anybody else, up to date.
She may be said to stand first in the
list of cities in America in the solu-
ton of the sanitary disposal of re-
fuse and ether towns are sending
delegations to inspect this garbage
system. Winnipeg has already pat
termed after it.
Nearly four years ago this cam

pronounced an unqualified success.

Publishers of the better class of
magazines are devoting more and
more space each year to baseball.
The Giants and the Cubs broke
even in the first four games. Then
McGraw's men proceeded to trim up
the Pirates in handy fashion.
Minneapolis has opened negotia
tions with Sam Lever, ex-Pirate
twirler, in an effort to get him to
sign contract. They have secured
young pitcher named Faber from
the Pirates.
Ingerton, third baseman for the
Boston N. L. team, gets the two and
three ply wallops in clusters. In
fact the whole team is shifting the
pill in a savage manner, but this
good work is more than offset by
multiplicity of errors and poor pitch
ing. They will have a hard time TO
keep out of the cellarette position.
The Phillies have the pitching
find of the season in Alexander. In

with Cincinnati he tWirled the last

there is fine tribute to Cornelius

of the game of baseball Then
there is another article, by Hugh S.

iens'' in which some of the trials
and tribulations of an umpire are
laid bare.
Toe recent libel suit brought by
John NJ. Ward, against Ban John
son, and which resulted in a verdict
for Ward, found Comiskey testify
ing for the defense. The Old Ro-
man is very friendly with johnson
now and they travel in the same
private car. But it was not always
thus. There was time when the
mention of Bans name in Comis-
keys presence was sure to start
something. They have had several
quarrels but always patch them up.
In this connection there is story
that has gone the rounds, but it is
so good that it is worth repetition.
1t happened at the time when Com
my's White Sox were gamely fight
ing for first place and the Old Ro-
man had openly avowed his hatred
for johnson. The latter had been
away on fishing trip and brought
home a fine string of bass. The
day of his return found the Sox
playing before an immense crowd.
but with a patched lineup as
number of their players were laid
up with injuries. So you can i'm
agipe Comiskey's rage when he re-
ceived notice of the suspension of
his left fielder for, umpire batting
the previous day. He had no one
to put in the suspended mans place.
1t was at this juncture that John
son sent as a peace offering a fine
big bass accompanied by little
note. Comiskey read the note, then
gazed at the bass and finally roared:
What does he want me to do? Play
the bass in left fielo!!'
