FIVE ARE NOW
CONSIDERED IN
SENATE RACE
ATLANTA BELIEVES THAT MANY
CANDIDATES ARE ALREADY
IN THE FIELD.
Gambler, BrantIey, Hardwick, Cow

Serve in the Senate, According to
atlanta Dispatch

Atlanta, Jan. 9.-To all intents auI
purposes, there are five candidates for
the United States senatorship from
Georgia to succeed the late Hon.
Stephen S. Clay, from the time that
Senator Terrell's special appointment
expires in June. Not all of these can.
didates nave formally announced, but
it is pretty generally understood
among their friends that when the
roll is called up yonder at the state
capitol, or at the polls, as the case
may be, they will be there. Here they
are:
Murphy Gambler, state railroad com
missioner, first cousin to Bishop War
ren A. Gambler and Asa G. Gambler, is
considerably talked Of
Congressman VIM. G. Brantley ja
widely reported as having the bee in
his 1onnet buzzing so loudly that ii
is the only political sound he can lis
ten to.
Congressman T. w. Hardwick
wants it. His announcement is con,
friends.
Hon. w. A. NCovington, of Moultrie
former Georgia legislator, is mention
ed in the same connection, and has q
strong following in south Georgia.
Senator Jos. NJ Terrell. will, OF
course, be in the race to succeed him
self.
A significant circumstance is the
fact that practically all these gentle
men are figuring on entering the race
on the hypothesis that Hoke Smith
will not be in it--that is all of thel1
but Senator Terrell, who will be in i;
whether or no. The situation simply
serves to illustrate. in this connection
the growing belief that Hoke Smith is
for the immediate future more inte.
ested in the governorship than in the
senatorship.
If there are four or five candidates
in the race it will seriously compi:
cate the question of holding or not
holding a primary, for with that many
men in the race it would he practical
would have to be held, involving dou
BILE expense.
The situation will not come to 6
head before the spring, but mean
while it will continue to be the chic
subject for political speculation.

Jim MCGUIRE FINDS
GOOD YOUNGSTERS
Cleveland Scout Makes Glow
ing Reports on New Play
erS Secured.

CLEVELAND. August 24-"Jim'' Nc
Guire arrived in the city last night, after
an extensive trip through the west in the
quest of players for the Cleveland club.
Jim's' last stopping place was su-
perior. Neb where he looked over Ward
Mcdowell. the youngster who came here
from Nebraska State Normal School last
year. but was later turned adrift
Jim was profoundly impressed with
McDoweil's sticking ability. Speaking of
him. he added:
Il can't for the life Of me see how a
fellow his size can hit a ball so hard.
There's no doubt in my mind about his
ability to hit He stands up to the plate
like Larry and takes a well directed,
mighty wallop. The boy looks great and
should rise soon
Mcdowell has been sold to Portland II
he shows the stuff Cleveland will get
him.
MCGUIRE was also thoroughly impressed
from the coast.
You can't go wrong on Ryan, he said.
He's husky. nervy. fighting player. a
terrific hitter and fast fielder. l have
heard 1t mentioned that the pitching in
the coast league this season is poorer
than in the past. Well. they have no
Greggs there, but, take 1t from me, on the
average the pitching Is pretty good. A
fellow has to be a strong batsman to
hit above 800 there, as Ryan has.
Il think Steen will be with the Cleve-
land club throughout next season. He's
a powerful. strong right-handed pitcher,
with great speed and tantalizing curves.
Goodman, the third baseman, and
Whaling. the catcher, purchased from
Northwestern League clubs. appealed to
me. Whaling is a big. strapping, rangy
catcher. built somewhat on the lines Of
Sweeney of New York, fast on his feet
and a deadly thrower. From what I saw
/ think he will become a hard, consistent
hitter. though his average now isn't high.
He is young and just in the developing
stage.
1.-The same is true OF Third Baseman
Goodman of the Victoria club in regard
to being a conner He is like q rabbit
on the field. covering an immense amount
of ground, and one of that scrappy fight
ing brand that the fans like to see.
LAS for Peckinpaugh. his fielding
throughout the season has been sensa-
tional He is recognized as one of the
best fielding shortstops on the coast. He
is still a trif1e weak in hitting.
Il think We have picked up some great
recruits. All of them may not be ready
to show next season, but don't believe
there is a man in that crowd who won t
be in the major leagues to stay within a
year or two"
