Davis. Sterrett, Martin and

Team Maybe.
BY BOzeman BuIeer.

to have discovered some promising

Georgia; George Davis. williams Col
iege, and Jack Martin. with no college
attachments. but corking good short
stop. drafted from the Richmond team
OF the Virginia League.
Just now these young men form the
main part OF tho nucleus around which
the pennant hopes OF 1913 will be built.
OF course. there are Chase, Cree ana
Woltsr, but long since they have been
weighed IN the balance and found 10 be
there"
Sterrett who was a sensation for the
Princeton Tigers was jammcd right into
the game on his first appearance at the
Hilltop. As catcher he showed little
greenness, but at the bat he welded n
willow like a man born TO the Job, lle
was so apt In picking up the essentials
| OF "A good player that Wolverton next
| tried him at second base. There he
| handled himself nicely but, On account
| of an injured foot. he was not able to
! show the necessary speed. Next We see
him stepping In the shoes OF the veteran
| Chase at first base, And he almost filled
them. at that. sim. Wolverton was not
satisfied. He knew he had great young
player and he was trying to ind his nat
ural position. The return OF Chase fur
nished the opportunity and Sterrett was
sent to centrehed. There he moved
about as II he had boon used to II all
his life lie handles u fly ball as ac-
curately as any man in the club and his
thro wing Is far better than that OF the
! vets 1t 10 a safe bet that Sterrett will
never be known again as a catcher or
a FIRST baseman. lie is a natural out
fielder and II kept there Is bound to have

Of TITANIC
WAS REFUSED BY
CALIFORNIAN
ENGINEER ON VESSEL SAYS HIS
CAPTAIN DECLINED TO HELP
SINKING LINER.

Washington. April 26.--Ablazc with
light from her saloon ana cabins. the
Titanic dashed full speed to her de-
struction. according to Ernest Gill. a
donkey engineer on the steamship Cal
ifornian, who testified today before the
senate committee investigating the
disaster
He said Captain Lord of the Cali
fornian refused to go to the aid Of the
Titanic. the rockets from which could
be plainly seen. This, Captain Lord
denied, but both he and his wireless OPP
orator admitted having heard conver-
sation about rockets from members Of
the crew. Their ship, they said, was
fast In the Ice.
Gill submitted an affidavit to the
committee and when sworn and put
on the stand stuck to his charges
against the captain Of the Californian.
He said he was standing on the deck
late Sunday night when he sighted a
great ship sweeping along at top
speed about 10 miles off. He did not
know II was the Titanic. but he made
out readily that 1t was not a freighter
or small vessel, because of the man.
ner in which she was illuminated.
Some time later he saw distress sig
nails on the horizon. He said the cap
tain was apprised OF these signals, but
made no effort to get up steam and
go to the rescue. The Californian was
drifting with the Ice. SO indignant
did he become, said Gill. that he en-
deavored to recruit committee ol
protest from among the crew. but the
men failed him.
Captain Denies.
| Captain Lord entered a sweeping de.
NAL of Gills accusations and reat
from the Californian's log to suppor
his contention.
Cecil Evans, the Callfornian's oper.
ator. however, told OF having heart
much talk among the crew, who crit
icized the captains course. GIL toll
him, he said. that he expected to ge
$500 for his story when the shil
reached Boston.
Evans told of having warned the I'll
tanic only brief time before the grea
vessel crashed into the bearg that tn
sea was studded with ice. The I'll

were working with the wireless sta

The Democratic headquarters are

Regarding the mayoralty race,

Whoever gets $4,000 votes will be
elected Marx got 1900 out OF 81
600 in the primaries. He will merely
have TO get twice as many votes in
