Notes of the Game.

The crowd was estimated at scarcely
more than 400. The field was in much
better shape than it was on Sunday.
This was Youngs initial appearance
as first choice for a game this season.
He walked the first man up and re-
tired the next two by the strikeout
method. Young has done some ex-
cellent rescue" work previously this
season.
Catcher Chief Smith on account
of the good showing made in the
game Sunday was cheered as he
stepped to the plate for the first time
today.
In the first half of the sixth inning
Young got out of a bad hole, mainly
by his ability to hOl1 runners on first
and second bases.
The attendance at the game was 408
by actual count.
Joe Rickert reported in uniform on
Monday and warmed up some but his
Charley Horse would not permit him
to enter the game. He moved around
and showed improvement, since the
team left for the Nebraska capital
but it was evident that the halter
was tied short and "Old Charley
would not allow him to scamper in
his usual gait.
Young had struck out eight men up
to the seventh inning. He looks good.
F'rantz had a long run to get Kin
sellas slow grounder in the first half
Of the eighth inning, but made good
iE the attempt.

the Capital Iron works, the Mail and

President R. c. Gafford of the Cen
trail Kansas league has announced his
umpires. hTey are A. H. Without of
Dayton, O., George w. Miller of KAN
sas City and w. J. McInnis of ST. Jo-
seph Without worked in the Central
league last year and was recommend
ed by the president of that organiza-
ton as a capable umpire. He was
barred this year by a rule that an UNI
pire who resided in any town on the
circuit should not be employed. Hence
his journey to Kansas. Miller has had
experience in Kansas City and took
Brick" Owens place for a time last
year, when the Brick broke his an
kle. He got away nicely. McGinnis
is recommended strongly by sport
writer's and others who have witness
ed his work in ST. Joseph.

but that they certainly would not
do it unless the South asked for
it, so a large majority of the vot-
ers in these parts have decided

ballot on the 3Oth. thereby in
structing the Florida delegation
to cast it's first ballot for the Ala
bama, man who is recognized as
the nations greatest living
statesman and the most mag

ever known.
Why Not Wilson,
AS he has nationally, so has
Professor Wilson locally, lost
much ground since his personal
characteristics and short public
record have become known to the
people. AS Alfred Henry Lewis
says, it is not so remarkable that
he is losing ground as it is that
he ever had any ground to lose.
The voting publit in Pensacola
and this county are beginning to
believe that he is the only man
with whom the Democrats can
NOT win, and that the Republi-
cans can beat him without leav-
ing their Offices. 1t would take
pages to tell why this conclusion
has been arrived at, but the fol-
lowing facts which have been con-
clusively proved and not denied
by the teacher must suffice for
this summary of the situations:
His ingratitude to Geo. Harvey,
of Harper's Weekley and to Boss
Smith of New Jersey, whose mag
azine and money barrel, respect
lively, had made him what he was;
his complete change of mind on
every Issue of the day upon be-
coming a candidate for Office; his
complete revolution OF attitude.
from the politics and express be-
liefs that had made him the ideal
of Wall Street to the kind of poll

stood for the least and poorest
service for the most money, to

that every man is king having
the right to initiate and pass up
on all laws and TO recall judges
who do not please him by their
sentiments and decisions; his
most uncomplimentary remarks

roes after he had become a north
ern man by choice; his failure TO

On the thirtieth of of this month
primaries will be held in Florida
after probably the longest and
most sensational campaign in
this states history. For the first
time Florida voters will express
at the polls their choice for Dem
ocratic Presidential nominee.

ceived here from over the state
indicate that it exists there also)
there is as much if not more in
terest in the presidential prefer
entail primary than in any of the
local or state contests. This is
a good sign.
Two Candidates
In Florida there are but two
candidates on the ticket. Oscar
Underwood, of Alabama, and
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey
the other two candidates, Champ
Clark and Judson Harmon, hav-
ing seen that the race would fin-
ally narrow down to Underwood
and Wilson. and having no time
nor money to throw away, asked
that their names not appear on
the III rida ballots, thereby
avoiding both the bitterness and
party expense of second pri-
primary. In fact, Professor
Woodrow Wilson is the only cam
didate for president who has
money enough to make a cam
paign ia every state in the Union.
