HANS oUTGuEssEs PITCHERS.
Hans Wagners prowess as a hitter
has never been disputed, but it re-
mains for Clark Griffith to give the
Dutchman credit for being real cum
ming. According to Griffith, Wagner
owes much Of his ability as a hitter
to the fact that he fools most pitchers.
Griffith says Wagner will purposeiy
look ridiculous swinging at some sort
Of ball for no other purpose than TO
make the pitcher believe that this is
his weakness and repeat the delivery.
Whenever a pitcher allows himself 20
be hoodwinked in this manner Wagner
is sure to break up the game with ono
OF his famous long drives. Though
he has been practicing this trick for
years, Griffith says that he still man
ages to fool some pitchers.

Bryan Protests Against Selec-

Baltimore.-Political interest of tn.
I country has shifted from Chicago te
this city, where the democratic ma
tlonal convention convened Tuesda,
to nominate candidates for president
and vice-president and adopt a plat
form
While there has been a spirited pre-
convention fight for delegates among
the presidential candidates, no such
bitter feeling marked the contest as
that which developed in the republican
party between Taft and Roosevelt. A
spirited fight. however, developed
over the selection of a temporary
chairman. The subcommittee on ar
rangements appointed by the national
committee selected Judge Alton B.
Parker, of New York. former demo
cratic candidate for president, as tenn
porary chairman. Bryan threw a
bombshell into the national committee
when he wired all the presidential
candidates from Chicago where he was
reporting the republican convention.
protesting against the selection of
Judge Parker. Bryan claimed that
Parker was reactionary and that
progressive should be selected for the
place
Claims of rival managers show that
none of the presidential candidates is
within hailing distance of the nomin
alton. There will be 1924 delegates
with twothirds, or 730, necessary for
nomination.
Reports were current that Wilson
and Clark leaders were cautioning
their delegates against being stamped
ed at any stage of the game to vote
for Bryan Some of these lieutenants
denied the existence of any danger to
their respective candidates.
The national committee received no.
tification of contests affecting the en-
tire delegations from the District of
Columbia, Porto Rico, Vermont, the
Philippines and Alaska. In addition.
rival claims have been, aade to the
seats of the delegates fran Illinois at
large, the first 10 districts of that |
state and also the twentieth. Other
lnaugurated are over three
seats from Rhode Island one seat
in the seventh and one in the ninth

" The second game of base ball
TO be played between the team from
this city and the Rockland nine was
won by the latter nine on their own
grounds Sunday by margin of one
score. Like the game the Sunday
previous it was 2-3 game and was
fast all through. No runs We're
made until the eighth inning when
each side made two and Rockland
pulled the game in their half of
the ninth.
fhe batteries were the same in
this game as the previous one. Jen-
son and Sprague for Rockland and
Oliver and Evans for the locals.'
Each pitcher walked three men
and Foxy famed seven while Jen-

TO his presence of mind and staying
QUANTITIES. A cable was being
stretched across the river below
the falls and two floats We're fasten-
ed to it. When the cable was in
place it became necessary to remove
the floats and Mr. Altman agreed
% take a boat and go out to do the
Job. The current is swift at that
point and as he caught hold of the
cable the boat went from under
him. He held to the cable until an
other wire fastened to a pulley was
sent down to him and was pulled to
shore. His hands were badly blister
ed in his grip for life There was
considerable excitment there for a
Time. but Mr.. Altman seemed to
be the least excited of any and the ]
TACT that he kept his head isall that
made it possible for his rescue.
