INDIGNANT FANS FILE PROTEST IN
 CASE OF EvERS

Chicago, Aug. 15-Indignant protest over the action of President Lynch, of the national league. in presenting five day suspension to Johnny Evers, the Cubs premier second sacker, was voiced, yesterday, in petition signed by more than a hundred Cub fans and mailed to the league president asking that Evers be assessed the maximum fine and that he be rein- stated and allowed to play during the Cubs-G Giants series.
 If the suspension holds. Evers. will be out of all the New York Chicago games.iK Several other petitions were being framed, yesterday. and it was estimated that by night the protest of nearly a thousand Cub fans will be in Lynch's hands The petitions asked questions, pertinent or impertinent, according to the point of view, and charge Lynch with being unduly se- we're in, his attitude toward the Cubs in general, Evers in particular, and with favoring the Giants.

The St. Louis fighter had held the Frisco man in contempt, and instead of get ting himself into proper physical con- dition for the bout, spent his time in trying to drink all the whiskey in San Francisco For time he had the
 distiIleries running O nights, but his attempt to break the long distance booze fighting record cost him his life. Mcconnell was so unstrung by his part in the tragedy that he was afterward afraid to put over d hard

CINCINNATI STILL AFTER
 KNABE FOR NEXT MANAGER

Despite denials, it can be said with degree of certainty that Cincinnati seeks the release of F. Otto Knabe. Garry Herman wants him for win- ter delivery, when he will be imnAe diately promoted to the post of man. ager.
 E A deal for Knabe would be a, good thing for Cincinnati. The sawed-on second-sacker is a. tank of oxygen to the team. His constant chatter and inspiring manner has kept the team on its feet in many rough places. Knabe never figures high in the av- erages, because he isn't an average player.
 Phil infield., perhaps. He is con- stantly getting away with inside stuff. He is conniving batsman, and this near the 300 mark. Knabe knows enough about baseball. to graduate in- eto a manager. He has the qualif1ca- tions to be a diamond tactician.
 Philadelphians have grown so ac- customed to see Knabe, of the Phil make a joke of second base play that they slight the importance of the po- sition. It would only need the sud- den leaving of Knabe or Collins to open the eyes of the fans. They would soon find that Knabes and Col A1IAS0S are dS SGdEC0 dS UAU0 1AOOA1S.
 In the prefact talk about the trade no name of successor to Knabe has been suggested, excepting Egan, the present second baseman of the team. Cincinnati wants Knabe because Egan doesn't fill the bill. In fact, Cincin- move of Clark Griffith when he trad ed Huggins to St. Louis and put Egan at second.
 Therefore a trade of Knabe for Egan and one or two mediocre play CTS thrown in wouldn't fill the hole in the Phill infield caused by the leaving of Knabe. It is difficult to en my making any kind of deal with the Rhinelanders. Surely there isn't a man on the Ohio infield who is bet ter than his rival on the Pennsylva- mia innerworks. The Phil infield far outclass them. The O'Day pitching staff is lamentably weak. Not one Of their curvers ranks with Alexan- der, Moore, Rixey and Brennan. Phil adelphia doesn't need any of their catchers.
 Bescher, although cratic, and Mar sans, the Cuban, are outfielders of to break up their fast combination of Magee, Paskert and Cravath, with Doctor Miller in reserve? It is hard to see where the Phils could profit by another swap with Cincinnati.
 But Boss Dooin has a reputation of making shrewd deals. He has nev- CT yet been trimmed by another club, but he has fetched three stars here in Lobert, Paskert and Brennan with out giving much in return. If Knabe is to go, perhaps some three-corner- ed swap will be arranged in order that the Phils can get ample returns for F. Otto.
 Knabe, of course, is entitled to the prom otion. The Cincinnati portfo- lio would mean more than double his present salary This big job of coin looks good to him. He has the warm friendship of Boss Dooin, a tac- tician who is entirely unself1sh and not the sort to stand in the way of another players advancement.

PHILLIPS HAVE PITCHER
 WHO ACTS LIKE WADDELL

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-Manager Dooin of the Phillies is in the field for a guardian, not for himself but for young Horne, the physically. big pitcher he secured at the same time as Bill Ritter. Horne is a second Rube WaddeIl He is reputed to be some pitcher, but he seems shy of big league parks. He was to have re- ported at Fogel Field several days ago, but when the time for reporting came Horne had disappeared. He next made his appearance in Pitts burgh, where Dooin saw him on the street. He promised to report when the team arrived in Philadelphia Horne came to- Philadelphia, but has failed to report. Now Dooin wants a guardian who will locate Horne and keep him located long enough to get him to the grounds.

Sixty-one Republicans who absented themselves from the House contributed by their failure to respond to their names on the roll call to the rebuke thus admin 1 istered to a Republican President Administration leaders are bitter in their criticisms of the indifference to the welfare of the party shown by many Republican members, and the responsible Republican leaders in the House are cha grined that4fo the sec ond time in two days a big measure had passed over the Presidents veto because of the failure of Republicans to attend the session. Tuesday the wool revision bill was passed verFthe Presidents veto by narrow margin.
 It is now apparent to Congress lead CTS that there will be no revision of the tariff at this session. Neither the vetoed steel or wool bill will be pass ed by the Senate, 1t is cainned, al- to persuade Republicans to remain out of the chamber and let the bill go through by default.

LYNCH WILL NOT
 LET EvERS PLAY
NATIONAL LEAGUE PRESIDENT SAYS CUB INFIELDER WILL STAY SUSPENDED UNTIL
 SATURDAY.
By THOMAS J. LYNCH. President National League.

Johnny Evers, the second baseman of the Chicago Cubs, will not be re- instated until the term of his suspen- sion expires next Saturday. I sus- pended him for a term of five days because of conduct unbeconing to his profession He will be, eligible to play against the New York Giants Satur- day, and not minute sooner.
 Evers was suspended after a thor ough investigation of the charges pre- ferred against him by the umpires in charge Of Saturdays game at Boston. The penalty is not severe in light of his offense. I am not officially aware of any petition having been forwarded from prominent Chicago fans asking for Evers' reinstatement for tomor- rows game But if every baseball enthusiast in Chicago were to petition it would still refuse. sEvers will not play until he expiates his offense against the discipline of organized baseball.

STAMPEDE TO E. v. DEBS
TO GATHER UP RADICAL STRENGTH
BY Max s. Hayes
Socialist Candidate for Vice
President In 1904.

AhSoaNNAs AZ AcVNs
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May Is.
There is a strong undercurrent
in the socialist convention here
to nominate Eugene V. Debs for
the fourth time for president.
Some man well known In trade
union circles is favored as Debs'
running mate.
The bitter primary fight in
the republican party has made it
plain that the "progressives" will
either nominate Roosevelt or a
dark horse to their liking as 1t
appears that Taft can only win
by steam rolling nearly all the
contested delegates, which would
probably rip the G. o. P. up the
back.
On. the democratic side, the
chances are growing more favor
able for a Bryan stampede.
1t is believed here, consequent
ly, that to hold in check the dis
satisfied elements that are drift
ing toward socialism, the Big
Bosses will resign themselves to
permitting their old parties to
run radical until they can force
reaction.
Hence, with Roosevelt and
Bryan radicals probably and
being triumphant, 1t is thought
good politics to name Debs, the
best campaigner in the country,
as the candidate of the socialist
party.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 15-With
Eugene v. Debs out of the run

lection of a candidate.
