The democratic senators are discuss

Monday night to insure the general ac-

the republican insurgents not to offer

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Democratie
leaders in congress were still wondering
whether the president would sign or veto
the wool bill, the crucial measure In the
democratic-insurgen republican campaign
for wider revision of the tariff. Despite
the determination to veto the bill uneduivo-
caIly accredited to the president by those,
who have conferred with him, democratic
leaders today expressed the opinion that he
might approve the measure. Speaker
Clark OF the house is one of those who
believe the president will sign the bill.
'I believe" said the speaker today that
the senate and house conferees will get
together on wool and l hope and believe
that the president will sign such bill as
may be agreed on in the conference. 1 be-
neve that the senate will pass the free
list bill, perhaps with some amendments,
and l hope it will pass the other tariff
schedules"
THE house of representatives Is abso-
lutely opposed to the wool tariff bill as it
passed the senate,'' said Democratic
Leader Underwood Of the house, today.
There is no possibility of the bill being
agreed to by the house"

In the event the president should veto
the final conference wool bill, the demo-
cratic leaders will begin calculations as
to whether the bill can be passed by the
house over the presidents veto The Un-
derwood bill passed the house on June 20
by vote OF 22O to 100. But TO pass over a
veto, two-thirds OF the house membership
of 391 must vote for the bill This would
be 2e1 or forty-one more than went on
record for the original bill In the house.
There is nothing so far to warrant count
ing upon the muster Of any such added
strength.
House democrats expressed the view to-
day that IL the president is to veto wool
bill, they would prefer to have him veto
democratic bin than an insurgent re-
publican-democratic compromise measure.

Should the Detroit club be trans ferred to St Louis little surprise would now be caused.
 When asked if there was any truth in the report. President Nayin of the Tigers, instead of denying, replied; T know nothing definite
 As matter of fact. Detroit is too small-from a commereialistic stand point-to occupy a berth in the Amer iean league. Should st. Louis ever have a pennant-or near-pennant-win- ner, in a comparative sense-luere would pour in a molten stream into the American league coffers.
 But 1t should be remembered by the powers of the American league that while money is necessary. il is not more so than sentiment. As matter of fact in baseball alone, does ssatl- ment hold certain and positive paaes in a business operation.
 And when sentiment-and sentiment in baseball is nothing more than the element of sport-is flagrantly torn from baseball. then will baseball die. Let it become generally known that the object of promoters-the sole oo- iect-is the making of money, and in stantly. the fans will lose that heart interest in the national pastime which is its life.
 Of course, the switching of the clubs the Tigers to St. Louis and the Browns to Detroit--is movement not intended 10 be permanent Next year. in case the proposed changes do oeeuf Detroit will probably be retired from inc American league and Pittsours substituted. But still, in spite Of the fact that the arrangement will be tenn norary. a precedent will be set which will be injurious.

and that there is the talent in the club here to make it a contender for the flag before another month rolls around Therefore he will also seek to have the powers look into that deal.
 Atlanta Journal: The country -at-large believes that the swap will prove more advantageous to the Cubs than it will to the Rustlers. This opinion is based on the fact that Chance seldom if ever has failed to have the edge in any trades he has made Probably the only deal the peerless leader regrets making is the one with the Philadelphia club last year, whereby the Quakerss obtained Fred Lu- derus in exchange for Bill Foxen. Lu- derus now is a member of the Society of the Three Hundred and Foxen is in At lanta.
 Montgomery Journal: Manager Jordan was a spectator in the press box, He was dsgusted with the slim crowd. Ot- tor Jordon said if Atlanta had A team which was going as good as the Billikens two and three thousand people would be no crowd on week days and 15,0O0 would be an average Atlanta Sunday crowd
 Nashville Tennessean: One of the main reasons why the locals are no higher up in the race now than they otherwise would be is because they have had to continually change the lineup of the club. That it was eminently proper to make all these changes is not the ques- ton, but the point is that the club has not been able to get down to do it's best work on account of these changes. A team should start going early in the season and keep the same men if possible all through This helps a lot, for the players are then able to get in the best inside play. Ow- ing to the manifold disadvantages to which the management this season was subjected, it has been impossible to keep the club with which they started out.
 Atlanta Constitutions: Scotty Walker, the Crackers injured shortstop, left yes- terday afternoon for his home in Jamai- ca, Iowa, where he will spend the sum- mer Scotty will not be able to play any more this season and is returning home on that account.
