Johnson Clubs Outfits Their
Rivals in the Big Series

Since the worlds series between the
champion teams Of the National and
American leagues was ~inaugurated in
1903 there have been eight series of
contests for supremacy on the emerali
diamond, and each league has been
successful four times. The National
league carried off the honors in 1905,
1907, 1908 and 1909, while the Ameri-
can leagues red letter years were
1903, 1906, 1910 and 1911. No series
was played in 1904.
Forty-seven games were played in
the eight series and the two leaders
almost split even in the matter of vic
tories and defeats. The National e a
que contenders won t~wenty-four
games, while the American league
teams scored twenty-five victories.

National League Champions.
Totals ......................24 %

In the matter of runs the American
league has outscored it's rivals. In the
eight years of warfare 337 players
crossed the plate. Of this number
175 wore the Johnson color while 162
were arrayed in National league livery.
The least number of runs in any series
was scored in 1905, when the giants
and athletics sullied the plate only
eighteen times all told. The giants
made fifteen runs in the series, while
the athletics only got three runners
over the plate. Most of New York's
fifteen runs were scored in the third
game Of the series, when McGraw $
men Jared the white elephants to the
tune of 8 to 0.
The runs scored by the National and
American league teams in the eight
series are shown in the following

AS in games won, runs scored and
hits made, the fielding of the contend-
ers in the eight series shows little In
favor of either organization. What
little advantage there is rests with
the National league, whose teams
made six less errors than their AM
erican league rivals. In all, 1S4 errors
were made, ninety-fve by the Ameri-
can and eighty-nine by the Nationals.

They all thought she was dead. and
when she opened her eyes her
husband said in a surprised tone,
why, Mandy, we thought ye wuz

looked at her husband a moment,
and then burst into tears. "And
We never .bawled bit," she sobbed.
I'VE thought | wuz dead. and yer

now. Dry yer eyes. IfI'h really
been dead. and We bawled 'twould
have done me some good. But it's

LET US PROTEST

This is the day set by the
democratic state committee for
holding primaries throughout the
state for the election of delegates
to the state convention. In every
other county Of the state, except
Elko, the county committee made
the necessary arrangement for the
election of delegates to the state
convention. In this county so, far
as we know nothing was done by
the county committee. As a result
the democrats of Elko county were
given no opportunity to express
their preference for president and
delegates to represent them at the
state convention.
We said that the democrats of
Elko county were given no oppor-
tunity to express their preference
or to elect delegates to the state
convention. This is true in the
main. but this morning the chair
man of the county committee, Mr..
E. A. P. Johnson, came to this
office and showed us a ticket and a
letter from A. B. Gray. secretary
Of the county committee, in which
he advised that tellers be chosen
and the hat passed around among
democrats this afternoon. The
ticket contained eighteen names
mostly from along the line of the
railroad from Wells to Carlin.
Only one of the parties on the
ticket lives north of the railr DAD.
Our name is on the ticket but who
put it there we do not know. We
know, however. that we are
opposed to any one man or secret
Clique controlling the democratic
party in Elko county.
In conversation with democrats
we find them unanimiouly opposed
to Mr.. Gray's scheme for the
election of delegates. All agree
that primary election should
have been called and that the
delegates should have been appor-
toned 10 the respective precincts
according to the democratic vote
polled at the last election.
The democrats of Elko county
should not let this matter pass
without q vigorous protest. A
meeting of the county democracy
should be held and contesting
delegation sent to the state conven-
ton. A delegation that will
represent the democracy Of every
precinct. If this. cannot be done,
the democrats If Elko precinct
should meet after due notice and
elect the delegates they are
enti led to in the state convention.
