put them in pen. The sentiment of

other has minor injuries as a result of
the explosion of keg of powder in a
shack at Marris, Okla, twenty miles
southwest of Muskogee, at 12:45

Referring to The City Ward
Bosses.

Excerpts from the speech of
John w. Lewis of Opelousas, de-
Iivsred at New Roads, Thursday,
July 9th:
There 10 no limit to their pre-
tentions. They have the effronte-
ry to impugn our Democracy and
to arrogantly claim for themselves
tho title of regular Democracy"
1t may be considered bold and
revolutionary statement, but de-
clare that if the Democracy of this
state finds its embodiment in the
ward bosses of New Orleans, and
its expression iu ballot box stuff
ing, l want none Ut it. l would
rather be a decent, independent
and conscientious Republican, Po-
pulist, or what not, than to be the
highest Democrat in Louisiana,
whose ascsndancy and regularity
on stufiing the ballot box or pad
ding the registration rolls; would
rather have my children reared
without any political conviction
whatever, than to see them tutored
in this school of regular Demo-
cracy" with the ring of this state
as teacher and model. There are
other questions of more or less i'm.
portance before the people OF this
state for solution and decision. but
to my mind the all important, the
all.pervading question is, whether
they are going to maintain in pow
or set of professional politicians
who have repeatedly deceived and
despoiled them; or, whether they
are going to respond to the heart
throbs of the nation and forever
| cast them from place and power.

There have been times when oue

have scored America five, a second
prize three and a third prize one.

PRINCETON ONLY
BIG / TEAM
WITH E @
Former Yale Stars Are
Rushing to New
Haven in FlOcks.
NOTHING TO BE LEFT UNDONE
. FOR PRINCETON AND HARVARD.

NEW HAVEN. Nov. s.-rom shevlin,
Yale's former football captain and
coach, is today on his way East to take
charge of the coaching situation here.
Shevlin's advent last year checked the
Yale Waterloo, after the Brown defeat,
marshGled the d~isorganized Eli forces,
and wung them together in an attack
that moved down Princeton and out
played Harvard. In Shevlin's gripsack
are some new plays that will figure in
the Yale repertoire during the final
games of the season.
Billy Heffelfnger, Yale's greatest
guard, has also sent word that he will
be here soon. He and Shevlin live in
Minneapolis, the home of Harry Will
Jams, coach of Minnesota University,
and the father of the tackles back and
the tackles shift formations.
Coincident with the arrival of Shevlin
the Yale eleven will go behind closed
gates for the season and the field will
not be open to the public, except on two
or three afternoons,
The Yale coaches who watched the
Harvard game last Saturday
maintain tn the Princeton-Yale game
will be the real championship contest
of the year, and hat defeat is much
more likely than that in the Yale-Har-
ward battle.
Yale's injured players are improving
rapidly, but at least three of her first
string men are admittedly out of the
game for the season.

HARD BATTLING.

1t was nip and tuck all the way
between the Hudsons and the Scots
oil the Harrison oval yesterday after
noon. The Scots were on the defen-
sive from the start when clever saving
by Esplin prevented several West
Hudson scores.
Lawson, of the Hudsons, was
stretched out early in the game from
a blow over the heart, but vas able to
resume play. A brilliant pass, McHol-
land to Carter, about twenty-five min
utes from the start, enabled Carter to
net the ball for the first goal for the
Hudsons. Then the Scots rallied and
finished the half in better form.
After the intermission the Hudsons
came out and played a whirlwind game
in an effort to wear down their oppo-
nents, but failed in this, Clarke gain
ing n corner kick. His shot resulted in
another goal being scored by the Hud-
sons.
Hudson, York and Fenwick then did
some offensive work for the Scots and
worked the ball down the field to a DO
sition in frolt of the Hudson goal from
which Hayden scored the Scots only
point.

NEWARK
CLUB MAY
BE SOLD
McManus in Conference With
Smith and McGinnity After
Latter Had Called 1t Off.

After declaring that he had refused
to buy the Newark club because of
his objection to a certain contract.
William A. McManus was summoned
to New York today by the Tiger man
agement, and it is not unlikely that
before midnight the deal will be made
and the Newark club will have Mr..
McManus as owner and Arthur Irwin,
of the New York Americans, as mana
&c..
Before going to New York today, Mr..
McManus said that negotiations, so far
as he was concerned. were off. After
a six-hour conference yesterday the
point which has been the bone of con-
tention all along could not be agreed on,
and Mr.. McManus announced that, SO
far as he was concerned, the Newark
Club would not change hands.
Mr.. McManus stcted that the best of
good feeling had prevailed In all OF
their meetings, and he spoke highly of
II. Clay Smith. Smith was anxious to
get the club off his hands. Johnny Nc
Graw. manager of the New York Giants,
was present on Saturday. and 1t is pos
sible that Joe McGinnity had tried to
interest his former manager to buy the
club a nd retain Joe as manager. Nc
Graw was present on Saturday, but
Smith declared that he made no offer
for the club.
Mr.. Smiths business interests are
so great he can i'll afford to devote
any of his time to baseball. Mr.. Nc
Manus's statement was as follows:
AT a conference last night at the
Waldorf-Astoria, in New York, between
Mr.. H. Clay Smith, Of Chicago, owner
of the Newark Baseball Club, and n.y.
self, negotiations for the purchase of
the club were terminated when I de-
clined to buy. 1 will not state my
reasons for not purchasing the club.
In the several meetings which I held
with Mr.. Smith and Mr.. McGinnity
the best of good feeling prevailed all
around. 1t was just a business propo-
sition that both sides could not get
together on"
