HEARST ON WILSON GIVING
BRYAN CABINET POSITION

Mr. William Randolph Hearst has
written a signed letter to the New
York American, regarding the ap-
po.ntment of Hon. William J. Bryan
10 a cabinet position by President
Wilson.
The letter is somewhat lengthy,
but we clip from it the following ex-
tract:
If Mr. Wilson believes that Mr..
Bryan or any other man can render
service to the country in a cabinet
position. ne should be allowed to Sc
lect that man without the interposi-
ton of any unnecessary objections
or obstacles on the part of good dem
ocrats and good citizens.
Mr. Wilson will be held RESPONSE
bic for the success of his admins
tration, and he is entitled to exercise
every proper means and to invite ev-
cry proper aid to make his admins
tration successful
The question of whether Mr. Bry.
an would really be of advantage to
the administration is a matter OF
opinion, and Mr.. Wilson's opinion is
the one which is of chief Importance
while the rest of us are entitled
TO entertain opinions, we should not
| think. express them at a time or in
a way to cause Mr.. Wilson undue EN-
Darrassment.
For my part, 1 personally hold ex-
actly the same opinions that you
have expressed of Mr.. Bryan's Wis
ionary character of mind, and also OF
his well known selfshness and in
gratitude
Il realize that Mr. Bryan has made
a specially of sacrificing his friends
on the altar Of his own ambitions,
and | realize, too, that he has sacri-
dced his party on several occasions
by substituting his own personal fads
and fancies for the actual and ac-
cepted principles of the progressive
cause.
still, l feel that Mr.. Bryan has, in
the main, exercised a powerful infiu-
ence in the direction of radical and
reform measures, and that such an
influence may possibly be of peculiar
advantage in the forthcoming demo
cratic administration"

slow one. If I have more speed than
 some of the others it is because I give
 the ball more energy the way I pitel
 than 1t gets from somA of the othel
 delivery, and if I have something on
 the bal lit IS because of a knack that
 have had all my life. I do not try
 to give the ball any freak twists, and
 do not know why my ball should
 have more speed or any freak that oth-
 CT pitchers do not have.
 The ball I pitch does take a jump
 before it reaches the batter. That comes from the speed think, although 1t may come from some twist that I give the ball, unconsciously, before 1t leaves my hand. That jump seems to fool them often. I hold the ball as most other pitchers ,do-grasped firmly between the first two fingers, above, and the thumb, below. I hold 1t that way when give them fast one, when slip them a curve or when l serve up a slow one. always throw 1t with the same overland motion. I bring my arm over at full length, with the | hand more or less upright and throw with all the energy I have. As the arm comes over nearly as far as it will ko, the wrist does the rest It prob- ably snaps quickly, thereby giving the
 ball the extra speed they say have Whatever happens, the wrist comes down and the ball leaves my fingers
 quickly. It goes fast, but with nc curve, and takes a jump before il reaches the plate.

Capt. Jesse Spalding of Chicago, leader of the 1912 Yale football az gregatfon, has issued a call TOT the candidates for the eleven to report in New Haven today. Thls IS vetS early date for the members or liIe squad to report, fully three weeks pe- fore the first game, but Captaln opalu- ing is planning to have the eleven thorouehly prepared for the early games this year and then develop the team gradually up to championshlp form.
 The practice will be held in NeW Haven without any question. TWO years ago the experiment of having |. in some high, dry place was tried, ana the result was disastrous. That was Captain DaIy's team. and the early work was held at Lakeyille, Conn. near Hotchkiss school The ground was uneven and several of the men were injured.
 Captain Spalding has therefore de- cided to stand the heat of New Haven in order to have a safe, level neid 10 work on. The practice will be on the old Yale field, though if 1t was neces- sary enough work has been done on the new field to allow practice there. If is quite possible that the freshmen this year will do their work on the new field.
 By graduation Yale lost from last years team two first class tackles, Jim ScuIly and Charlie Paul, the former being an all American player; Elmer McDevitt, the left guard; Captain Ar thur Howe, quarterback, and Free man. halfback, as well as numerous substitutes. But there is a wealth of good material around which to build up a good team for the coming fall.
 In the line Yale has remaining two all American players. One is Ketch- am, the center, who has two more years to play The other is Bomeis- Ter, all American end. Besides these two there is Carl Galiauer of Chicago, tackle, who was believed by many to be the equal of Scully as a tackle last fall and who played practically the whole season because of the tn- juries to Scully and Paul. Norman Read, who was out of the game be- cause of injuries through last year should develop into a line man this year. McLeish of the freshman team and Green and Wolfe, who were also freshmen last year, win be among the likely candidates for the line.
 The principal work which faces the coaches is the development of a quar- terback to take the place of Arthur Howe. Howe will probably choose his own successor, as he Is to be head coach for Captain Spalding. He will devote the greater part of his time tc developing quarterback and will turn the running of the squad over to some of his assistants.
 For the position of quarterback the mon who seem to show the most promise are Loftus, who was quarter. back of the freshman team last fall and Cornell and Castles, who were backs on the team. Both Cornell ane Castles have good heads. They arr heavier than Loftus and nearly a.

 win Ty Cobb equal Jesse Burlsett's batting performance? asks the Wor- ! cester Telegram. The wonderful field- or of the Detroits Is hitting at better than 400 clip so far this season. Last year he batted for .42O. Baseball fans are speculat1ng wheth- CT he will finish this season batting for 400 or better, and thus equal the mark B1rrkett has set, the only batter since 1876 who has batted for more than 400 in two successive seasons Buricett is the only big league hitter since that time who has bit for better than 400 in three years. Anson. Ed Delehanty, Stovey and Sam Thompsop have hit for 400 for TWO years since the formation of the National league. in 1878, but Burkett Is alone as a three season hitter, and is alone also as a hitter of more than AGO in two suc- cessiye years
 Buricett made his successive per- furmance in 1895 and 1S96. In the former year he hit for .423 and in 1896 he followed it up with 400 clip. Three years later, in 1899, he hit for .4o2. Now the fans are wondering whether GOOD VIII equal the perTor- nance. He has a good chance to do so, and that's why they are talking about. it now.

 But the unprejuhced ones don'i give him credit for being any greater batter than Burkett; in fact, they'r' inclined to think Burkett has some thing on Cobb as 8 hitter, and that th' Georgia peach will never be the ac tual Mtter Burlhett was.

Neal Ball. member of the Boston Red Sox. who has been visiting rela- lives at his home in Bridgeport for a few days. gives in an interesting in- terview, his reasons why StahIs team will capture the worlds title this fall.
 Tt looks as if we couldn't lose the American league flag and then to clean up the Giants in the worlds series, ' says the great 1nsefder. "A1l our boys are confident of giving the National league champions a trimming. Ii makes no difference to us whether the Giants or Cubs cop the bunting, but 1t looks very much as if McGraw' crowd would win out.
 We rely on our pitching and hitting to down the Giants declared Ball finest fingers of modern times. The Kansas boy has so much speed that they look like peas when they come over the platter. We think Wood could put either Mathewson or Mar quard under the table. Then we have Ray Collins, a crack southpaw, who placed the rollers under Mafty the last time the Sox met the Giants in 8 post-season series.
 Hugh Bedient, although only q youngster,s is cool proposition, and he would probably be used against the National leaguers. Buck O'Brien, Hall the Mexican wonder, and Pape also are available.
 Behind the bat the veteran Bil Carrisan and the duslsy kid, Forrest Cady, will keep the Giants from steal ing. Our inf1eld is fully as good as New Yor1k.s, and critics say the out field in Speaker, Lewis and Hooper is the peer of them all The boys are all hard hitters and steady helders i There is also perfect harmony in tho team.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
DULL AND BEARIsH.
 Volume of Trading Small and But Few Price Changes.

New York, Sept S.-The stock mar ket experienced a dull and uninterest- ing opening yesterday. Traders were comparatively few and bearish tone was evident in general. There were gains recorded in some of the specials, such as Sears Roebuok and Central Leather, while declines were shown in the opening prices of American Tobac- CO., Recovery in this stock followed, but the closing recorded loss on the day and dispelled rumors of an extra dividend which had been circulating around the street.
 The volume of trading was small, and, with the exception of some bull ish activity, about the middle of the day, the session lacked interest and few price changes were exhibited in the general list. The feature of the day in ordinary stock leaders was the strength in coppers. Interest was cen- tered in the forthcoming Steel tonnage showing, the Copper Producers fg- ures and the crop export. although | there was some speculation as to the extent of sentiment that will be creat- | ed by the publication of this news. Among the railroads Union Pacific and
 Reading held the strongest trading position but the volume of these stocks dealt in was comparatively small. If any influence was apparent it came from the money situation and was the reflection of increasing rates.
 | It is doubtful, however, whether any factor aside from the purely profes- sional character of the market was responsible for its lack of vitality. The natural forces of trade development were stimulating and the business
 outlook was particularly pleasing, but
 this good aspect of commerce and
 industry failed to receive even pass ing consideration in price movement
 and the days trading not only told
 nothing of future trend but gave nc
 promise of possible improvement be- yond the special field, which was svery
 narrow. Politics, which has been con-
 sidered as important and held up for
 careful scrutiny as trading factor yesterday was ignored, and little could
 be traced to the political end in plac- ing responsibility for the markets dull
 and bearish tendency.
