the effect that there Is dissension in the
ranks of the Red Sox has been going the
rounds here. and is generally credited Il
is said that a number of players are con-
cerned and President Taylor also became
involved.
That something troubles the Red sox
has been known for some time past. Just
what the trouble was has been more or
less OF a mystery. All sorts OF reasons
have been advanced. but they were elimi-
mated one by one until the latest story
started on its course.
During the early season the Red Son
got well under way and started in
like world heaters They plowed their
way through everything successfully but
Philadelphia The other teams all proved
to be the easiest kind Of treat for thems
and there was talk here Of another PEN
nant.
Tt did not take long for the fans to
recognized the well oiled machine had
slipped a cog. There was the usual talk
about the pitchers going bad. and 1t
was true, but just why they should be-
come helpless after displaying possession
of the goods was a matter for thought
Story of D1ssension.
Fans wondered and they looked wise
when they heard the following story:
1t was said one day that Cicottte told
Speaker that the latter was guilty of
deliberately laying down when the for
mer was in to pitch. Cicotte claimed
that he had noticed that tendency on
Speakers part on more than one occasion.
and he was becoming a bit disguised.
Speaker denied the accusation with some
heat, and told Cicotte that he saw things
differently. The men had some words.
but that was all there was to IT,
1t was noticed that thereafter Cicotte
had good luck. and has been winning
games with great regularity.
The other story deals with President
Taylor and Charley Hall. the mountain
Gus Vermont pitcher Hall had some bad
luck for a time, SO it was claimed, and
one day he was bawled out by no less
parsonage than President Taylor him
self
A number of names not considered en-
dearing were used. and the place OF real
hot wave was mentioned.
Since these episodes the team has been
going better and has crawled from its
place in the second division to cellar
position in the first, but there are many
among the Boston fans who believe that
Ii should occupy a better position. and
that it will when the petty differences
are eliminated.

thizes with club which is trying to
develop youngsters. 1t has little no
confidence in the policy Of trying to gather
together a lot of veterans and make a
winning team OF them.
While there has been room for conSola-
ton in the fact that it seemed a certainty
that Washington would beat out ST. Louis
and be at least saved the humiliation OF
finishing last in the race, il is by no
means assured that this will come to
pass. The Browns, while a rather weak
aggregation, are going better now than
are the Nationals, who have lost eight of
the nine games they have played in the
west, oneof the worst showings in their
rather unenvia BILE history. McAleer's team
seems unable to win.
On days that is has good pitching 1t
fails to hit, and when it hits its pitchers
give weird exhibitions. A continuance
of the present slump might possibly land
the Browns in front OF the locals before
they return to the local park, one week
from Tuesday.

DETROIT, July 15.-Jack Coombs, the
durable backwoodsman from Maine, and
Eddie Plank, the veteran southpaw of
the hurting staff of Connie Mack, must
return to their best form to enable the
Athletics to win another pennant. With
these two veterans not at their best the
chances of Mack's men are hindered to a
large extent.
Bill Donovan. George Mullin. Ed LATTE.
Eddie Summers and Edgar Willett must
continue their present form. If they do
Detroit will beat out the Athletics.
Lack Of fair pitching lost the first
game for the Athletics. and Donovan's
good fiinging beat them in the second
contest. In the last three weeks. with
| the exception Of few scattered games,
| the Athletics pitchers were hit hard by
opposing teams And the Athletics made
bunch Of errors besides that. just like
they did Thursday and on the day be-

HOUSE DEMOCRATS WAR.

=. Heated Debate.
ECHO OF BRYAN INCIDENT
Senate Situation in Kentucky
May Be Affected by Angry
Words of Leaders.
Iron The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Aug. 9.-Accusing Represent
alive Ollie James OF having played TO the
galleries during the recent Senate cam
paisn in Kentucky. Representative Under
wood. the majority leader. caused serious
tilt on the Democratic side Of the House
late to-day. Mutual apologies followed
afterward, but the relations between the
two appear somewhat. strained tonight.
The affair is regarded as an echo OF the
Bryan Underwood fight. as James is an ar
dent Bryanite and angrily resented the in
situation that his playing TO the galleries
had purchased votes in Kentucky"
The House was debating bill to improve
the navigation OF the Black Warrior River
in Alabama, in accordance with the re
vised plans Of the engineers. One OF the
provisions OF the bin gave a Birmingham
electric power plant a ffty-year franchise
on certain water rights which caused Rep
resentative James TO take Mr.. Underwood
20 task for supporting IT. Calling attention
20 the fact that there are five competing
electric companies in Birmingham and that
10 monopoly could exist. Mr. Underwood
said:
The gentleman from Kentucky has just
come out OF a successful campaign in that
state where playing 10 the galleries has
purchased votes The proposition ne puts
up TO me is not fair"
Representative James was Immediately
on his feet with a heated rejoinder. He
said that he stood for the rights OF the
PEOPLE in Alabama as well in Kentucky.
and that the people OF the latter state
were no more susceptible 10 playing 10
the galleries" than those OF any other
cot bo
stand how Mr. Underwood could favor a
bill giving a corporation hfty-year
franchise right on the waters Of the Black
Warrior River.
III what j have done is playing 10 the
galleries." angriy retorted the Kentuckian,
then the sooner the gentleman from Ala
hama begins 70 play TO the galleries the
sweeter will be the applause OF the gal
leres 10 the gentleman"
Il have never learned 10 play 10 the
galleries" said Mr.. Underwood in heated
reply. II DO not know how to do #. Ny
remarks was prompted by what the gentle
man has said about me"
Then followed apologies which did not
FULLY relieve the tensity Of the situation.
The House adjourned without voting on
the Black Warrior River bill
Mr.. James insisted that the entire col
ioquy should so into the record despite
the mutual Withdrawals The Kentuckian
indicated. after the House had adjourned.
that Mr.. Underwood remarks meant that
he. by playing 10 the galleries. had OBJ
tanned TIE Democratic Senate nomination
IN Kentucky Inasmuch as Kentucky is
rominsny a close state, Democrats OF the
House are a bit worried over the Under
