BASKETBALL GAMES
DREW GOOD CROWD
Patch Grove Won From MT. Hope A.
23-Lancaster Won From
Patch Grove 1922

/ dlCh A1EONS
Reeds opera house was the scene
of much excitement Friday evening
when a large number of enthusiasts
gathered to witness a double game of
basket ball.
The first game was called at about
8 80 o'clock but long before that time
the townspeople began to buy their
tickets and grand rush for the best
seats followed.
Finally the teams representing the
villages of Mt Hope and Patch Grove
lined up and the referee DR.. r. Fl.
Kinney, tossed up the ball between
the Two center men and the game was
started.
All the boys played well but the
lads from Patch Grove got the most
baskets and the score at the end of
the game stood 1928 in their favor.
The second game is of more in
terest to local readers for the reason
thai picked city team of Lancaster
young men played the winning team
of the first game
The lipe-ups for the contesting
teams were as follows:
Patch Grove Lancaster
w. Andrews. f.. Center. ...... Harper
Tlover =. Left forward :. Pennock
Horton . Right forward. Hannaford
Parker =. Left guard Srhmidlen
Andrews. Right guard -. Roth
Parker, playing left guard and
Horton, at right forward were about
equally divided in making the
baskets for the visiting team who
were able to make % points during
the game.
In the first half Of 20 minutes three
of the local men took turns making
baskets
81. Harper to whom a great deal of
credit is due for his help as coach and
for his excellent playing during the
entire game, dropped the ball in the
basket three times making points
for the home team. L. o. Pennock
who has had some previous experience
in the game made one basket and one
free throw. g. Hannaford added seven
points to the score making three
baskets and one free throw
Score at the end of nrst half 1915
in favor of Lancaster.
When the second half was com
menced Hannaford was exchanged for
r. Orion who finished the game
During this half Harper made 3
baskets, K. Schmidlen 3; Pennock 2;
Orion 2 and Roth 1.
Final score was 1929 in favor of
Lancaster.
1t depends largely on how well the
townspeople patronize the local games
whether the boys will be able to keep
such an organization in existence.
It is understood that the citizens of
Mt. Hope and Patch Grove support
their teams.
The young men of Lancaster have
not asked the business men to aid f.

patronage at the games to help them
cover the expense.
At the game Friday evening
many more could have been accommo
dated but as it was the receipts met
expenses.
The boys are entirely satisfied and
hope that those who saw the first
game will speak we'll Ct it to others
so that they may feel safe in making
arrangements for several games in the
future.
Elmer Eastman. formerly of Lam
caster. managed the Patch Grove team
and brought a goodly number of
''rooters'' from Mt. Hope and Patch
Grove to witness the game.

pected that New York state will have
no candidate to present on the first bal
lot. II is believed Murphy may stay IN
the background for several ballots, not
coming out with Gaynor until there is a
strong demand for compromise candi-
date.
With his usual good luck, the Mayor
has been saved the necessity Of lining up
on the question Of temporary chairman
ship. The true story OF how it happened
was told this afternoon by friend OF
the Mayor. who got it from Charles
Bryan. brother of the perennial candl-
cate. It seems that William J. intrusted
the task Of sending copies Of his tele-
gram asking opinions on Judge Parker as
temporary chairman to Charlie Bryan.
Manor Gaynor never got one. To-day
friend of the Mayor was having luncheon
with the brother and the latter remarked
that William J. Bryan was somewhat
surprised that he had received no reply
from Mayor Gaynor. This man, who was
I'm a position to know, declared that the
Mayor never received the message.
"Oh. yes. he must have" replied the
brother Il sent II to all the candidates
except Underwood and Harmon and he
pulled a printed list from his pocket.
It was a newspaper list. "Charlie's'
face fell when ne looked at It,
"By gracious!" he said, Mayor Cay
ror's name IS not here. / must have
left him out"

C0HALAN ON DECK AGAIN
"Tammanys Brains" Advising

Baltimore. June 24.--Justce Daniel r.
Cohalan, who for years before he went
on the bench was rated as the brains
back of Tammany Halls best political
tricks under the Murphy regime, is ap-
parently taking ZIP his old work here.
When the Bryan-Parker conference
was on this afternoon it was reported
that Judge Parker came back to the
Tammany headquarters in the Emerson
Hotel to report to Murphy as to pos
sible compromise which, 1t was said,
Bryan would accept
Justice Cohalan was then i'm the Tam

tant and strategic position next IL
Boss" Murphy's left ear that he filled
So eminently at Rochester in 1910. IT
occasioned some surprise when the story
Of his presence was noised around,
Further prominence was given 10 the
stories of Justice Cohalan's reappelr-
aLce in the role of chief political adviser

gave out a statement this evening say
/ ing that Justices Gerard, Cohalan, Hen

BRYAN TO WRITE PLATFORM
Indications That 1t Will Be
Adopted Without a Fight.

Baltimore. June 2A-If Mr.. Bryan should
not be temporary chairman of the Demo-
cratic convention. he probably will be chair
man of the committee on resolutions. He
will be the representative of his state on
that committee, and his position in the
party is such that the place Will be con-
coded 10 him by common consent The gem
eral opinion is that he will prepare the
greater part Of the platform. Indeed, many
think he now has much Of it written, but
he is reticent on the subject.
Delegates We're too much occupied to-day
with the temporary Craftsmanship to give
close attention 10 the question Of Tesolu-
TONS bat I'm 50 far as there was any eN-
preston on the subjec; it indicated har-
monious condition. Representatives OF some
Of the Eastern states express apprehension
that there may BE- an effort to force APP
proyal of the initiative, referendum and re-
call and If there is it will be opposed. Mr..
BRYAN has however, indicated the opinion
that these pertain only to state administra-
ton. and il IS not believed. hc %ill contend
for any radical announcement on this SUBJ
jcct, if for any at all.
There certainly will he planks plcdging
the party I'm unmistakable terms to the sup
port OF income tax legislation; to the cleo
ton Of Senators by direct vote, and TO pri-
mary elections.
The protective tariff will he held respon-
sible for the trusts and the high cost Of
living, and there will be positive declara-
ton for rapid revision downward Probably
the procedure by schedule, as practised by
the present House Of Representatives, will
be advocated. The tariff work Of the House
will be strongly Endorsed and the Presi-
dents tariff vetoes as strongly condemned
It will be tariff for-veyenue platform.
All factions are committed 10 this plan
and il there Is any difference Of opinion II
will be on phraseology rather than on

WILSON FOR PROGRESSIVE
Wont Play Favorites for Chair
manship, He Says.

Seagirt, y. j.. June 24--Ciovernor Wilson,
undlsturbed by the events in Baltimore, sits
tonight close by telegraph ticker in 'the
Little White House" in constant touch.
through both telegraph and telephone with
his managers at the convention city,
This evening he gave out brief state
ment TO the effect that his opposition to the
selection Of Judge Parker as temporary
chairman was not due to any personal feel
ing against the New York man.
II have never played favorites, and will
not In this case said the Governor, EN-
phatically. ANY real Progressive is a good
man for the temporary Craftsmanship. My
opposition TO Judge Parker Is not from per
sonal feeling. but Is due TO my belief that
nsomuch as the convention is one OF Pro
gressives the spokesman should be Pro-
srassive.'
This statement was made before word
reached Seagirt that Judge Parker had
been named by the national committee as
temporary chairman. The Governor will
not make his customary Tuesday journey
to the State House in Trenton tomorrow
but Will remain here.

PARKER REVISES KEYNOTE"
Makes Changes Before and After
Talking with Bryan.

TBy q Stan Correspondent Of The Tribune
Baltimore, June 24.-Judge Alton B. Par
ker, the candidate OF the conservative wing
OF the party for temporary chairman. spent
most Of his time to-day in his room at the
Emerson going over and revising and
changing his speech. Numerous persons
called to make suggestions.
It was thought for time that William
J. Bryan and his friends might be placated
by changing the Parker utterance 50 as to
make It sufficiently progressive to suit
them Apparently this idea didn't satisfy
the Bryan men. and after the Bryan Mack
Parker conference in the afternoon Judge
Parker went back to cut out some Of the
progressive theories he had just put In.
Among those who called on the judge
were Ex-Governor Francis OF Missouri. Gov
ernor Dix Of New York and r. VI. Johns
ton. national committeeman from Texas.
Borough President McAneny. who is here,
as he says, to do all he can for Governor
Wilson, also called on the judge.
About o'clock Norman l.. Mack. chair
L. Hall, committeeman from Nebraska, had
long talk with the Judge In regard TO
the demand Of Bryan that Parker retire as
a candidate for temporary chairman. AZ
ter comforting for an hour they left to go
over the situation with Mr.. Bryan
Judge Morgan J. OBrien. who is occupy
ing the same suite with Judge Parker said
he did not think there was man named
among the active candidates for the chair
manshp who could not have the support
Of the New York delegation IL the other
leaders of the committee came 10 an agree
meut on any of them.
The danger OF making tight in the con-
vention. which II won by him might make
the Nebraskan a formidable candidate for
the nomination, was brought up, and Judge
O Brien said:
We'll. | didn't have Mr. Bryan In mind
I'm what | just said. because he has an
nounced that ne is not a candidate. How
ever. II is an open convention, and II a
stampede should occur and he were noml-
mated suppose we would accept him as
the choice OF the convention

Too Late to Do Anything.

II was not long before William Jen-
ningy Bryan was informed Of the reason
why Mayor Gaynor had not replied 10 his
message He said he was sorry, but he
thought il too late 10 do anything.
The Gaynor special arrived this af-
ternoon with Jacob \. Cantor and 12J
members Of the Gaynor League aboard.
They were met At the station by the
Gaynor League OF Baltimore, an Italian
organization formed 10y friends Of Cesare
Cont, the Italian banker Of New York,
who organized 4 similar Italian order in
that city. The Gaynor boomers We're
loaded into forty carriages and ten au-
tomobiles. With hags and banners they
paraded for several hours Some Of the
horses were trapped out with regalia
such as Is sometimes used at Italian
funerals, much to the disgust Of Water
Commissioner John VI. Calvin and Will
lam Harmon Black. members OF the
Gayuor Association Of New York. who
have been on the ground for several
days. They did not want to offend the
Baltimore contingent. however, and the
trapplngs went through the parade.
In addition to having headquarters on
the seventh floor Of the Emerson, the
Gaynor Association has rented a house
At No. 5O3 Cathedral street, where the
boomers are receiving food and shelter
1t is said that between 1000 and 5000
Gaynor badges and buttons were given
out to-day and that the demand was far
beyond the supply.
When il comes tn autographs Mayor
Gaynor has II all over the other candi-
dates. So far as the Emerson is con.
Ccrncd. The picture used is one of the
latest and most striking OF the Mayor
The head Is not only larger than that on
the other Autographs, but the workman
ship Is better. Although other candi-
dates have their faces plastered on the
marble walls of the lobby, the composite
impression gained from a glance around
is that Of Gaynor. over the door Of the
Clark headquarters on the first floor Is
one OF the pictures. but q wide-awake
Gaynor man pasted one of his litho-
graphs above il. the result being that
the Clark portrait was completely over
Swallowed.
