as we'll as a sporting man and
am not taking chances.
The Newark Club was a money
maker for the Smith and McGinnity
combine during the seasons of 1908 and
1910. 1t is understood that Messrs.
McGinnity and Smith are willing to
take a chance and lose or break wen
this season. with the idea of getting 1t
back next year.
Since the first of the year. the club
spent large sums on the new park and
close to 500 0 for players besides.
Owing to the slump of the team, the
quarters and ffty-cent pieces have not
jlngled SO merrily since before Decora-
ton Day. On the road. however, the
Tigers play before big crowds in Balti.

made up.
While in this city several weeks ago
Mr.. Smith stated emphatically that he
would not sell his holdings for n
amount. He gave Manager McGinnity
great credit for building the new park,
and his efforts to get a winning team
and pointed to the many reverses that
he encountered.
Injuries, sickness and bad umpiring

and Toronto the McGinnityites made
desperate fights, but against the weak
er clubs they were easier prey.
In his office in the Union building
today the boss of the Tigers. with all
sincerity, stated that the team would
net be sold.
II am tired of reading stories to that
effect, and will consult with out At

They claim we spent all money on
the new park, but that is not true, To

M'GINNlTY REFUSES TO
SELL TO MILLIONS MAN
Local Sporting Editor, Acting for NeWarkers, Tod
Flaiy Today by "Iron-Man There
was Nothing Doing.
IT DEVELOPS THERE NEVER WAS ANY
OPT ON GIVEN BY OWNERS OF BENGAL CLUE

Prospects of Frank Million securing
the Newark Baseball Club franchise
were blasted shortly before noon today.
when Manager and President Joseph J.
McGinnity. of the club, told a local
sporting editor or an evening news
paper that he was not looking for a
purchaser and that if he was his price
would be $4,000.
This sporting editor claimed he had
an option on the club. and 'phoned the
Iron Man shortly before noon. and
the latter stated hat he had one offer
OF 6 $4,000 and that he was not anxious
to sell at that price. If local capitalists
wanted the club they could have the
franchise for $4,000. The Million in
terests said that price was too high.
It now develops that this sporting
editor had no legal option on the club
whatever. as there was nothing in writ
ing or no money was paid, and that
he has made a fool out of his friends.
Il hope thai will end all rumors OF
the Newark Club being for SALE" said
Manager McGinnity later. Montreal,
Providence and other towns are not
making money, and / can take just the
same chances as the next one.
IF we don't make money this year
we'll do better in 1912. At any rate,
money will be spent freely to get a win
ming ball club
Joe McGinnity, the leader of the
Bengals. was wild with rage today
when he picked up a number of clip
pings which told of the franchise
being sold.
The Iron Man" was so sore" that
he declared that the clubs attorney
would sift to the bottom how the
urno was started and an effort would
be made to punish the guilty one.
The price mentioned would moi buy
the peanut privilege at the park. The
club will not be sold this season nor
next was the way he put it.

been arranged, and the tourists are

Taft's Campaign of Apology.

In his campaign of apology President
Taft does not seem to be building up
a very strong defense of himself. His
explanations Of his vetoes of the tariff
bills are not satisfactory to the people
at large. and his admissions that he
has made many mistakes" give to his
opponents in his own party. as well as
in the opposition, an advantage
His campaign lacks virility and
power
He seems to be appealing for sym
pathy rather than commanding the at
tention of the public. His predecessor
in Office, while he made enemies as
well as friends. never made the mis-
take of begging the question.
Mr. Taft has many admirable things
to his credit. He is generally believed
10 be sincere and truthful, but he lacks
the force 20 put his own policy into
action. His policy in regard to the
trusts has been weak. With the whole
game in his hands" he has failed TO
come UP TO the mark which he himself
has set for the public 1t is not enough
for him TO explain on the rostrum that
the supreme court has found certain
things in regard to the Standard Oil
and tobacco trusts and that the BUSH
ness OF the country has 70 square
Itself with the law" What is needed
toward enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law is vigorous prosecution
which shall strike at the guilty per
sons.
Mr.. Taft as a candidate for the
presidency should stand unreservedly
for enforcement OF law and the in
Fiction Of the penalties. His present
campaign is one of weak apology and
renewal of promises relative 10 the
tariff, which be has too often made and
broken.

A Day of Reckoning.

The House OF Governors" appoint
cd a committee of three OF its mem
bers to argue against the intrasta;e
rate decision OF Judge Sanborn. deny
ing to states the right to fix rates
within their own borders, when the
case reaches the supreme court. This
committee was appointed because the
governors feared the rights of the
states were in danger. Each member
OF the supreme court, when he takes
his oath. agrees to protect the rights
of the states as well as those of the
nation. Why then should the govern
ors be apprehensive, or consider il
necessary TO tell the highest court in
the land what its duty il?
The very fact that the governors
recognize the necessity for such action
indicates that 1t isn't only "agitators"
and ''demagOgues" who are suspicious
of the supreme court, and of the whole
judiciary system.
