a touch of suspicion in his voice.

They are paid well enough to enable
them to save something. Yes, ! know
the argument that a player devotes
years TO baseball that he might devote

Organizer Needed.
Now, my suggestion is this Why
doesn't Callahan preach his idea as he
goes about from city TO city and en-
deaVor TO enlist the cooperation of at
least one high-class player on each
team? Then why not organize a benev-
client association and take in every
player in the two big leagues? | do not
think many would refuse to join.
Each player surely would contri-
butte one days salary each year There
are about 300 players regularly en-
ployed in the two leagues and their
Joint contribution would add up TO a
neat sum. once this was done the
players could make their appeal 10 the
club owners for special days. and they
could obtain any reasonable conces-
sion. In fact. no club owner could af-
ford to refuse them.

Innes, Jackson and Fletcher all had
been in big leagues before last season
they can be safely classed among 1911
finds.
The greatest finds Of the year were
undoubtedly Grover Cleveland Alexan-
der Of the Phillies, and Sylvanus
Gregg, the sensational Cleveland
southpaw. Neither of these boys had
pitched ball in the big leagues be-
fore last season, and their names are
now associated with those of Mathew

brother and that the note was given
by Lambertson in payment of this
agreement. Lambertson denied hav-

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 28.-Goyer
nor Wilson left here for New York
thoroughly satisfied with his three
days campaigning in Massachusetts
and Connecticut. He made seven SCI
speeches, talked briefly or shook hands
at dozens Of small stations, and all
along the line received assurances OF
Democratic strength in the coming
election.
Before a big audience at fremont
temple, at Boston, he set forth the
differences between his program. regu-
lation Of competition and that Of Colo
mel Roosevelt for the control Of mon
opoly. The fundamental difference he
proclaimed to be his position that the
trusts are not a normal and healthy
growth. but have been fostered by
improper and unjust practices, which
he believes should be forbidden by
law so definite as to leave no misun-
derstandlng as to what great business
concerns may or may not do.
He said he could understand why
Colonel Roosevelt thought trusts were
inevitable because, while president,
he never found any way Of checking
their growth.
I'VE may have to set up an Industrial
commission" he said, but we will
set it up not in order to discriminate
between good trusts and bad: not to
say to this trust come and 1t cometh,
and to the other 60 and 1t goeth; but
to say-wbether to trusts or to any.
body else, for this is not u question OF
observation-disclosures are not fighting the
trusts, we are trying to put them upon
an equality which they cannot stand
with everybody else. The Democratic
party Is the friend Of business, pro
vided you bring enough business men
into the partnership. But it Is not
the friend Of business done in a cor
ner or done and controlled by a small
group OF men"
An audience of 5000 men and wo-
men greeted the governor at the night
meeting In the armory at Bridgeport
He again assaulted the tariff and trust
theories Of the Republican and Pro.
gressive parties and characterized the
program of Colonel Roosevelt as fatal
to the best interests Of the laboring

Roosevelt Tells New Orleans
Audience in His Speech.

New Orleans, Sept. 2S.-The political
solidarity Of the south, Colonel Roose-
welt said, is retarding Its progress. 1t
is this statement which he wished to
emphasize, he said. during his stay in
the south, and In his speech In New
Orleans he planned to say that the
problems which have to be solved be-
low the Mason and Dixon line cannot
be met as they should be unless the
solid south" is broken up.
His contention Is that as long as the
south continues to give unbroken sup
port to the Democratic party it will not
receive consideration in the affairs Of
the government, and the Progressive
party, a nonsectional organisation. of
fered the opportunity which, he be-
lieved. the south should take away
from political tradition.
He told a cheering crowd at Ham
mond, La. that the action OF the Dem
ocratic majority In the house In pass
tariff on sugar showed that If the
Democrats should win the sugar indus
try Of the country would be imperiled.
The colonel told his audience that he
was anxious this time that they should
show their f%riendliness by their votes.

ed. and l want to free yourselves
from that rather absurd folly Of sup
porting the Democratic party. A party
Is Of value just so long as 1t is an in

ed president he would make good the
platform Of tho Progressive party with
respect to the conservation Of the Mis-
