Nevada County Picayune
THE FIGHT IS ON

The fl G h is on. Shall the
democratic national convention
of 1912 be con trolled by an Aid
rich democracy or shall it repre-
sent real democratic sentiment?
By reason of its democratic
platforms the party now occupies
advanced ground. Shall it re-
treat to the lowlands?
Although the democratic party
has not controlled administrations
in recent years its democratic
platforms have given it a power
posed by no other party in
history-the power to compel
opposing parties to leconize the
righteousness Of its platforms.
Never in all its history has the
democratic party so well repre-
sented the hopes and aspirations
of progressive patriotic men OF
all parties as it does today.
This advantage has been won
by the party's persistent fight of
the people during the past SIX
teen years.
Today the American people are
looking to the democratic party
as the leader in real reforms.
The people have lost confidence
in the republican party. Can the
democratic party be trusted?
The democratic national con-
vention 1912 will provide the ans

The special interest that have

eStS.
If they find that the progress
i've sentiment is too strong to be
entirely ignored they will take
someone who has been progress
i've enough to furnish them some
thing to talk about but not pro-
gressive- enough to fight the in
terests.
The democratic party seems
ready to come into its own.
After a long fight the progressive
policies which arou used the
opposition of all the predatory
interests in 1896 are becoming
the accepted D o c i e of the
county. but the interests will do
their best to nominate a candi-
date who is not in sympathy
with them and who tried to re-
tard their process.
Let not the democrats be de-
ceived. The work of demo-
cratic president will be no easy
work. The cleaning out of the
stables will be Herculean task.
1t will require strength of body,
strength of mind and unfinch-

for compromise. The times re-
quire stalwart. fearless, pro-

Congress will largely shape the
issue and may develop the man
but whether he comes from the
senate or the house or from a
state position or from private
life, he must measure up to the
requirement of the occasion and
be able to summon the progress

must be positive and progressive
if he is to win the confidence of
those who are seeking remedial
legislation.
Do you believe that the demo-

from entanglements with spe cial
interests? Do you believe that
its representatives should mean

If you believe the democratic
party should be true to its name
you may help win the fight to

Syracuse Nav Withdraw.

Judging by the reports from Syracuse
y appears decidedly improbable that
that university will be represented IN
the regatta at Poughkeepsie next June.
Ever since September efforts have
been made to obtain a fund sufficient
70 guarantee the boat club, but now,
with all the other college oaTsmen ut
work on the machines, Syracuse finas
herself still more than 5000 shy of the
amount needed. The canvass already
includes practically every probable sub
scriber. and the athletic committee has
about decided that 4 crew this year is
out of the question.
Following closely upon the abandon
ment, temporarily at least, of aTuatiCS
at Georgetown, the withdrawal of Syra-
cuse would he a decided blow to the
rowing classic on the Hudson. Syracuse
alone has been able to break COrneliS
consecutive victories, and the big race
now has narrowed down to Cornell,
Pennsylvania, Columbia, and probably
Wisconsin.

CAPITAL LEAGUE
MAY KEEP FIELD
Leasing of Park to Gonzaga
College Does Not Dis
turb Circuit.

Officials Of the Capital City League
are today but little disturbed over the
report that the organization will be
forced to seek oth,r quarters following
the announcement that Gonzaga College
has obtained Capital City Park for use
as an athletic field.
A meeting has been called for this
evening to consider the question Of
grounds. bat the impression among
those in charge of the affairs of the
baseball organization is that an ar
rangement will be made with TIE COL
lege authorities whereby the ball play
e-S may have the park after the col
legians have finished their work each
afternoon. The college games usually
begin not later than 3:3e o'clock, and
are over at 8 o'clock, which is half an
hour before the amateur players begin
their contests.
1t is further pointed out that the COL
legiate season closes about the first OF
June, which is practically the beginning
of the leagues campaign, which closes
early enough to allow the Gonzaga
athletes to have plenty of time to pre-
pare for football
The league will at once enter into ne
gotiations with those who are directing
the Athletic Associations affairs. Should
1t be impossible to reach some equitable
agreement. a special committee will be
appointed TO search for another field.
At the meeting of the Capital City
League this evening the Aloysius club
will ask that several rules of the league
be changed. Some of the most import
ant ones are: That the league play in
an independent organization; that 1t
shall play strictly amateur ball; that
any bona fide club or organization other
than a commercial house or club are
eligible for membership.
In explaining why the club asks these
changes the manager contends that un-
less the manager of each team lives up
to the rules on his honor it is useless
to try to enforce them, as there are so
many ways to evade them.

Jimmy SIagle to Give
Up Baseball for Good

BALTIMORE. Feb. 21.-Jimmy Siagle
has brought his baseball career to a
close, according to advices received by
Manager Dunn, of the orioles, from Chi
cago, where the little outfielder has
been spending the winter. According
70 the letter, Slagle has decided to give
up the sport for all time, saying that
he will not play with any other club,
and advising Manager Dunn not to dis
pose of him for that reason. The Oriole
leader, however, will send Slagle a con-
tract, and in this way Jimmy will be
kept on the reserve list of the Balti-
more Club.
If Slagle sticks to his announce
ment, the game will undoubtedly lose
one of the best outfielders no ever
welded a stick. His greatest reputa
tion was gained as a part of the IA
nous Chicago Cub machine. Jimmy
was the top man in the batting list,
and 1t was there that his value was
particularly noticeable. Not a heavy
weight slugger by any means he was
always a good man to lead off, due to
the fact that he managed to work free
passage to first many times. Once on
the paths. he was a dangerous man
for the opposing club.

BEST Of HOPKINS
TRACKMEN COMING
Eleven Entered for George
town Games in Conven-
ton Hall March 4.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 21.-Captain Full
ton, of the Hopkins track team, has
announced that a team of eleven men
has been entered in the Georgetown
games, which are to take place March
in Convention Hall, Washington.
All of the crack members OF the squad
will he taken along, and they are ex-
pected 10 make a better showing than
they did in the Fifth Regiment-Hopkins
games.
Manager Herring and Captain Fulton
are confident of the team winning a
number of points at the meet, but the
chief desire is to see the Black and Blue
team defeat Virginia. Virginia was not
represented by her full strength in the
armory games, and for that reason the
Hopkins men cannot take the credit
of defeating the SOutherners. However.
on March 4, Virginia will have her best
men on hand, and the Black and Blue
team will have to work hard to score
victory.
The men who will go to Washington
and the events in which they are en-
tered are:
Lee-One-mile run.
Reeside-One-miIe run.
Horrax-5O-yard hurdles and the high
jump.
Tappan-Pole vault and the 50-yard
hurdles.

Likes Hal Chase.

Doc" White, the Washingtonian and
star lefthander of the Chicago White
Sox, pays the following tribute to Hal
Chase, of the Yankees:
Chase plays the deepest first of any
man 1 ever saw or heard of.
Hal always gets there Just the same.
He's Just like a big wildcat and moves
as fast to one side as the other
II have seen Chase play many games,
but don't believe that ever saw him
take q throw standing on the bag,
Every time 1 saw him catch a ball he
was moving.
''It Chase had entered the prize ring
he certainly would be a champion OF
his weight. He has the necessary
gameness and he has the speed, and
guess he can hit good punch, but the
most marvellous part of him would be
his footwork. They say you don't need
the punch when you can keep away

DECKER AND SE|GER
FIGHT TO A DRAW
Dummy Lands Most of
Blows in Baltimore
Encounter.

! BALTIMORE. Feb. 21.-After fifteen
rounds of hard battling. before the
Armory Athletic Club, at Albaueh's
+ Theater. Referee Buck Alexander de-
| cided that Dummy Decker. of this
city. and Joe Seiger, of Denver. had
made honors easy and declared the
set-to a draw.
Decker landed the most blows in the
battle. Seiger was at all times try
! ing for Decker's vulnerable point. the
body. He landed often and possibly
this took a lot of force from Decker.
The local lad outboxed Sciger and
reached his face with nearly everv
lead.
Eye Closed In Fourth
There was but little choice in the
first three rounds. In the fourth
Decker closed Seiger's left eye. Hon
ors were easy. though each was try
ing up to the seventh round. From
the seventh to the thirteenth Decker
had the better of it. He was advised
by his handler. Benny Franklin, TO
go in and stop SeiSer in the ninth
round.
The Westerner was too rugged. He
re fused to be stopped. Decker tired

Both were weakening in the twelfth
round. In the last two rounds Seiger
concluded that he was strong enoun
to make a trial and this was the
fash which won for him a draw.
Country Kid In Draw.
The bout between the Country Kid
of Washington, and Shep Farren kept
the spectators in a high state of ex-
citement. After four rounds of slash
ing fighting. ii ended in a draw. The
Washingtonian was the aggressor
throughout. continually forcing hi.
opponent all over the ring. The first
round was even, while the Country
Kid had shade the better in the sec
Ond. Farren came back in the latter
part of the third and fourth rounds.
which gave him a draw. His best
blows were lefts to the jaw.

Laughs a. Wolgust.

Ristie Leonard, the wrestling and box
ing enthusiast of this city. who sees all
the big fights in the East. says he thinks
that Ad Wolgast is about the least
qualified of any fighter who has held
the lightweight title in years.
Leonard is of the opinion that there
is about as much difference between
Joe Cans and Wolgast as between the
Navy Yard and Georgetown, and eX-
poets to see some comparative unknown
step up and snatch the title, presuming
that Wolgast does not cook up some
excuse to remain out of the ring.
Leonard believes that with couple
of years of experience young KNOCK
out" Brown will develop into really
first-class fighter, although heavy legs
are likely to keep the New Yorker from
ever becoming so fast on his feet as
Cans and the rest of the classiest of
the lightweights.

Jake Stahl through.

Unless ! miss my guess it will take
some mighty tempting inducements to
drag Jake stahl out of his voluntary
retirement to play first base for the
Boston Red Sox.
Manager Donovan went to Chicago
with the idea that he could induce the
former Washington leader to return to
the diamond for at least another sea-
son, but he has evidently failed. Once
Jake StahI makes up his mind. it is
useless to start an argument, and when
he declares that he intends to stick TO
his position as vice president of the
Washington Park National Bank, in
Chicago. 1t may be taken as u pretty
sure sign that Mr.. Stahl is through
with baseball.

Joe Turned Thrown.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Feb. 21.-Wrestling
fans here are of the opinion that had
not Joe Turner, of Washington, injured
his neck when thrown heavily to the
floor by his opponent, Sam Anderson,
middleweight champion of England, the
bout which was declared forfeited to
the latter would not have been won so
easily. II looked like an ugly foul to
many of the spectators. The English
man then proposed to throw Jack Olsen
in fifteen minutes, but it took twenty
minutes to turn the trick.

Crack cyclists here.

Joe Fogler and Eddie Root, the cham
pion six-day bicycle riders, dropped in
this morning.
This team is meeting all corners in
races on home trainers. and both were
surprised by the interest which still re-
mains here in cycling.
The revival of bicycling here recalls
the days when the Arlington Wheelmen.
the Capital City Cyclists, and other
clubs OF the sort were among the most
prosperous organizations in this city.

If even Il portion Of the aItcmobIle
racing on road, Spe .dWaF, dirt track,
and beach planned fur 1911 is carried
cut, it Will be one Of tho busiest sea-
sons in the history of the sport. There
has been TOO much racing of an unedify-
ing character in the past, too much hip
podromlng, too many contests on
horse track, TO make the outlook alto
gcther a rosy one. The only good part
about it is that thc American Auto
IncbiIe Association IS preparing to do
more real governing" of the sport in
tic future than it did last year-and
that marked a decided Improvement
over previous years.
Jim Jeffries has SuCCumbed to the
motoring fever and is now the proud

ped with every possible requirement.
The machine was shipped to Jeffries
just before he left for Mexico, and he
is now using it in a tour of that cOun-
Try with Barney Oldheld.
The automobile racing season of 1911
gets under way tomorrow, when a big
field OF stock cars will compete in the
Panama-Ia cifiC road race at Oakland.
with d good prospect that a new
worlds road record will be hung up
III one Of the three races that make up
the attractive program, the event is
attracting the attention of motorists all
over the country. The course will be
closed in and wire fences will keep back
the spectators. There will be no large
grand stand. A series of boxes lining
the roadway will be constructed in such
position that spectators may have a
view of the cars as they come down
one road and return by the other.
T. S. Johnston, manager of the Buick
Motor Company. is immensely pleased
with the demand that has arisen for
the 1911 Buick models. Not only have
our sales in Washington been of fine
proportions, but our sub-agents through
out Virginia are also sending in some
