The catcher's position has been appre-

series score of star players quartered at the
same hotel and the most difficult position came
up for discussion. Not one of the players was a
catcher, yet each said backstopping the most
difficult.
When star twirlef works a great game his
name is on the lips of fandom. Enthusiasts discuss
his work, but not word is heard of his backstop

WILSON REAL STAR
BASEBALL PLAYER
While a Student He Was on Team
at Davidson College With
Governor Glenn.

BALTIMORE, Md, June 27.-"Wood-
row Wilson was a fine baseball player
but too darn wrapped up in reading
to come out for practice" was the
musing comment of Governor Glenn Of
North Carolina today.
Governor Wilson and I were college
mates" said Glenn. we studied and
played together against rival colleges
for two years at Davidson College,
North Carolina. Afterward. Wilson
went to Princeton and | went back to
the plow.
Wilson was a good ball player, but
he was too COMPOUNDED lazy to make a
star. When the team would be called
out for practive we'd have to go to his
room and drag him away from a book.
But when Wilson wanted to play he
was star. He played left field, and
while he had an awkward way of run
ming he covered lot of ground and was
the best pinch hitter on the team. His
only trouble was that he cared more
for making history than for Spalding 8

One telegram from the West, sign
ed by large number of citizens, in
quired the name of a delegate who
voted for Parker for temporary chair
man, and suggested that he prepare
himself for a lynching on his arrival
home. So the war goes merrily on,
with the party's hope depending on
the conventions ability to put itself
before the country as true repre-
sentative of democracy.
There is one way in which the foul
blot can be removed, namely by a
resolution adopted by the convention
denouncing any alliance between the
money magnates of the country and
the party leaders, and authorizing the
nominee Of the party to remove from
the national committee any member
who has the brand of Wall Street
upon him. If the convention will pass
such a resolution and then demand
of each candidate, before voting for
him. that he will put this resolution
in force and reorganize the national
committee on a basis of honesty and
democracy. we can win this fight.
The country Is waiting for a party
that dares to defend popular govern
