Endorse the State Admins
tration. i,

. 1t has always been the policy of the
Bourbon News not to take sides in a
Democratic primary Tor convention to
leave the people entirely free to make
their own choice of candidates and it
has always supported the nominee and
expects to continue to do so. We be-
lieve however that the men who
achieved the great victory last year in
Kentucky and redeemed the State from
Republican rule by so great majority.
and enacted into law every pledge of
the Democratic platform, ought not to
be turned down now by the Louisville
gang and their aiders and abetters who
fought the Democratic candidates last
year, and opposed IN the Legislature
every law that was enacted to carry
out the pledges of the party. We be-
lieve the State administration should
be endorsed in clear and unequivocal
terms. and that the party should take
no step that will lead to the repeal of
the reform legislation of the last Leg
islature, or to the election of Legis-
lature antagonistic to the Governor
and the State administrator.
The News is for IChamp CLARK for
President, but it stands for ringing
endorsement of Governor McCreary' s
administration and for the election by
the State Convention of an Executive
Committee in harmony with. and not
averse to the Governors policies. For
that reason we advocate that the Bour
bon delegation be instructed to vote
for Champ Clak delegates to the
National Convention at Baltimore, and
for Rufus Vansant as chairman of the
State Executive:C ommitiee Mr.. Van
SAINT last year as chairman of the CAM
paign Committee achieved one of the
most notable victories in the history of
the State. and he did it without asking
dollar from any one of the big inter-
ests that have been controlling politics
in Kentucky..for years. and we do not
believe in turning him down at the be-
hest of the. Louisville gang and their
adherents. who fought the Governor
before his nomination, an either didn't
follow at all or "limped lin the rear"
when we came to the fight against
O'Rearf If,Mr. Stevenson .is elected
chairman of the State Central and
Executive Committees it means a
divided party in the State and fight
next year for Legislature hostile to
the Governor, and pledge to undo what
the last Legislature did to carry out
the pledges of the platform of the
party. Let's keep the party intact anG
keep in control the men who redeem
ed the State from Republican rule and
to that end let Bourbon county at the
next Saturday endorse the
State administration. and send to the
at Louisville list of dele
gates instructed to vote for Champ
Clark delegates to the Baltimore con-
vention, and for Rufus Vansant as
chairman of the State Central and
Executive Committee.

tom McCAREY WHO WANTED TO RENT
CHAMPION BEY VAR is CONSERVATIVE GAMBLER

. LOS ANGELES, Cal. April g.
When Fight Promoter Tom McCarey
offered Featherweight Champion
Johnny Kilbane a salary of $50 GOO
for two years work Tor him, lie
pulled one OF the most unique gam
bling stunts In the history of the
ring or course. Kilbane refused
the offer. because he figures he can
make more than $4,000 in the next
two years.
But this offer would make the hair
OF the biggest plunger stand on end.
The risk for MCCarey, had the oiler
been accepted would have been
enormous. But had Kilbanc ac-

Cornwell, Football Star, Enjoyed
Rough House," So Faculty
Asks Him To Leave

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April 4.-Be'
cause Red" Cromwell enjoyed a
rough house" occasionally, Coach
Yost will looe the services of that bril-
liant center. and the 1912 Michigan
football team will be materially weak
ened thereby. Cornwell is the man
through whom Coach Yost developed
the loose center" on defense TO meet
the change in the playing rules, but as
he was not in college last fall Yost
had to develop another center. Corn
well played brilliantly the year be-
fore. and the coach picked him as the
best center in the west, and a man
destined 10 become the greatest cen
ter in the country.
Cornwell returned TO college this
year, and because of his brilliant work
year before last, Michigan's hopes ran
high. However, Cornwell had a
hankering for trouble and he found il
frequently on the streets of Ann Ar
boron one occasion he got into a
fight with Officer Jack O'Mara. and the
officer emerged from the conflict with
rather painful injuries. The matter
was hushed up and the faculty never
heard OF IL. Lately Cornwell has had
several encounters, his latest escapade
resulting in his arrest on a charge OF
assault and battery. for which he was
fined after spending part of the night
in Jail Tuesday night President
Hutchings informed Red" that his
presence at Michigan was no longer

will have to develop a new center next

BALL PLAYERS SHOULD Be
GENTLEMEN AT ALL TIMES
Pres. Baum, of Pacific Coast
League, Gives Men
Straight Talk

Allan T. Baum, president of the Pa
cihc Coast Baseball league. dishes
out little talk TO his men that might
be well for other baseball players to
memorize:
Players in this league must re-
member that they are appearing be-
fore ladies and gentlemen and are ex-
pected to be gentlemen. Rowdyism
positively will not be tolerated. Bear
in mind that there is big distinc-
ton between rowdyism and aggres-
siyeness. | like an aggressive player
who is always playing the game and
fighting for his rights. We want fight
ers, but we want them to be gentle
men fighters. IL is not necessary for
me TO tell you the line between aggres-
siveness and rowdyism. You have all
had experience and YOU know how
far you can go. Get the fans 10 ad-
miring you for your spirit, but not 10
despising You for conduct that is an
insult TO them.
"My umpires have been instructed
that they are not to punish players
for trivial offenses. When a player is
ordered out of the game. shall know
that his offense is not trivial one,
that he has either insulted the UNI
pire or the crowd Every player or
dered out will be fined S. This is
automatic fine that regulates itself
The league wants men who Will
play baseball in clean, sportsmanlike
gentlemanly. but aggressive fashion.
II will not keep hoodlums nor umpire
baiters."

WEATHER MAY POSTPONE
THE OPENING GAME HERE
Stands Almost Complete, But
Grounds Are In Bad
= Condition

Unless there is marked change in
the weather there will be no American
league game on Navin Field on April
is, the day set for the opening in De
troit
The new stands are rapidly nearing
completion. only the finishing touches
remaining TO make them ready for the
crowds. The delay is likely TO be
caused by the grounds, which just now
look more like junk yard than
baseball park. In the shade OF the
immense stands the ice and snow still
covers the ground in some places 10
depth OF foot or more. while
trenches run in all directions through
the grounds. There is also consider
able water in some parts of the field
and mud covers everything. The dia-
mond was sodded last fall, and has
been kept smooth, but the grounds out
side the baselines is in bad shape.
With three and four feet OF frost
still in the grounds it is impossible TO
drain off the water. and only warm
rains and plenty of hot sunshine will
put the park in shape for the coming
OF the athletes.
Saturday afternoon the park was
visited by several hundred hungry
fans. anxious for the season TO open.
but all went away sorrowful. declar-
ing that Detroit would not likely see
much league ball during the month OF
April.
The new stands. which look big
enough TO seat nearly every man, wo-
man and child in Detroit, were thor
oughly inspected by the crowds. The
addition of considerable space has
given the players lots OF room, the
only short field being that covered by
Sam Crawford. The right field bleach
er looks much nearer the plate than on
the old grounds. and one fan who sur
veyed the distance carefully was heard
TO remark:
THAT looks like four home runs a
week for Sam"

TO PITCH NO-HIT GAME IN 1912
is AMBITION OF GEORGE MULLIN

ers is the ambition OF George Mullin
for the coming season. George has
come within an ace OF being num-
bered with the baseball immortals
but never has he been able TO cross
the threshold OF the hall of fame re-

that Mullin so narrowly escaped hav-
ing additional fame thrust upon him.
