QUESTION AS TO EXISTANCE OF
THIRD STATE TICKET NOW TALKED
Unless Candidates On Republican Ticket Refuse
To Serve Party and Accept Nominations
There Will Be Many Vacancies.

Anxiety and over zealousness on the
part of self appointed state leaders o1
a third party state movement for a
third state ticket, caused them to
break precedent in all political his.
tory and conventions, by nominating a
state ticket, without the consent OF
the nominees, and thus bring it about
that, so far as third state ticket is
concerned, there is none, unless the
candidates renounce allegiance to the
Republican state ticket and join the
corps of self appointed state leaders.
The mistake in nominating all the
candidates on the Progressive Repub-
lican ticket, with the exception of
governor and commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor, without their hosts,
places the executive committee of the
state central committee, assisted by
Chairman Dorr H. Carroll, in the po-
sition of attempting to force these
candidates off the Republican ticket,
if their action is really mistake. The
most charitable view assumed by
those opposed to a third state ticket
is to call it mistake" and give the
self appointed leaders the benefit of
the doubt as to their political acumen,
sound judgment and ability to conduct
a convention.
Wanted Presidential Electors.
Delegates to the state convention as
sert they attended for the purpose of
selecting Roosevelt presidential elec-
tors, and not to place a third ticket in
the field. If the law is adhered to and
the candidates on the Republican
ticket do not withdraw to accept the
nomination of the third party state
ticket, theer can be no third state tick
ct in the field unless another conven-
tion is called, or the executive COM
mittee, assisted by Mr.. Carroll, nomi-
mates ticket in the same manner
they nominated a candidate for gov
ernor.
One delegate in the convention
raised the point that the law provides
that candidates names may appear
only on one ticket. He was hushed
by the chair and told that if they did
not accept others could be appointed
who would. That ended the matter
and the convention took no action to
delegate the power to fill vacancies to
the state central committee, or the
executive committee of the state CEN
tral committee, assisted by Mr.. Car
roll. The adoption of the resolution
authorizing the committee, assisted by
Mr.. Carroll, to name a candidate for
the Office of commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor, is pointed out by dele
gates to the convention, that it was
uot to the sense of the meeting to al
low these self appointed leaders to
name an entire ticket. Otherwise, the
convention would have closed with the
election of Roosevelt presidential elec-
tors.
More Of the Mix.
No one is absolutely accusing the
executive committee, assisted by Mr..
Carroll, of deliberately intending to
defraud the delegates by knowingly
usurping authority not granted them
to name a candidate for governor and
an entire state ticket, but the conven-
ton has turned out that way. The
law says: ...#. ~,

Alley Boys
Make Great
Scores

1t was a pleasing entertainment that
the Alley Boys provided in the STAR
headpin tournament on the Iroquois al
leys last night. 1t could not be con-
sidered bowling, however and the spec
tators had lots of fun over the at
tempts of the performers to get to the
No. 1 pin occasionally. When a five-
man team rolls II it is breaking
records.
That's what one of the quintets did
last night. Scores of 0 were rather
common, and anything that went above
the half-century mark was not we'll
received. The Alley Boys regard
themselves as amateurs, and any chap
who got score as high as 30 was re-
garded with suspicion as being a prob
able professional.
The Prudential bowlers are going to
perform tonight in the STAR headpin
tournament. 1t Is expected that thirty
teams will be out. The competition Is
to start at Ais o'clock and continue
until the last man shoots which, 1t is
hoped. will be about II o'clock. The
committee in charge of affairs consists
Of Billy Neale, VIII Coburn and E. J.
MacIver. Here are the scores made

Baseball men do a lot of unneces-
sary worrying over so-called evils
which time would cure without any
help in the way of legislation. The
club owners were much disturbed
two years ago because so many play
ers were accepting stage engagements.
There was no objection on the part of
the magnates to the players picking
up extra money in the off-season, but
it was feared that the late hours and
indoor life of the stage people would
prove injurious.
Rules and regulations were adopted
to prevent players from accepting en-
gagements without the consent of
their clubs. This legislation was inef-
fective because the stars of the teams
did not have any trouble in getting
the consent, and only the stars were
wanted by the theatrical promoters.
The club owners are not worrying now
about the players invasion of theat-
rical territory. The public has DEM
onstrated that 1t wants to see the

lege. Very few of the athletes in coun-
try schools take part in more than
one or two branches of athletic sport
and they do not enter these with the
same vigor and intensity that the city
boy does. Look at the star of the
average city school, for instance. He
is generally member of the football
and basketball teams during the fall
term. The next term he goes out for
track and baseball and devotes his
spare time to swimming and tennis.
1t is no wonder that a boy who has
trained for these varied sports with
the vigor and intensity that the aver
age member of a big city high school
team does is about done up when he
reaches the university. AS a general
rule the prep school star does not live
up to his reputation after he comes to
college.
Training is dangerous thing In
the hands of a novice The greatest
fault with the average high school
athlete Is the fact that he let's down
too soon in his exercise after he has
completed his regular training for the
season. When an athlete Is in training
his heart is larger than at time he
is not undergoing strenuous physical
exercise and IL he does not taper off In
his exercise at the end Of the training
season he is apt to do himself physical
injury.
I'm the matter of eating, too, the
average high school athlete does him
self a great harm. Most high school
athletes are on a prescribed diet dur
ing the training season. Suppose a
boy has been on strict diet for a period
of a month or more and then at the
banquet following the last game Of the
season gorges himself with all manner
of rich food. And that Is not the worst
Of it. He must needs eat everything
of a rich nature that can within as
short time as he can after the sea
son is over to make up, as he says,
for what he missed during the time
that he was in training"

ROCHESTER,, Jan. 26-The mystery
surrounding the deal whereby Lelivelt,
the fence-busting gardener of this
Washington Club of the American
League, became a hireling of the Gam
eel crew is lifted. Baseball fans
throughout the country have been
somewhat puzzled at the apparent
shrewdness of the Rochester Club In
landing a big Lacquer whose colossal
batting average stamped him as a
rival of the great Ty Cobb. Lelivelt
walloped the horsehide until the official
statisticans of the big show were COM
PEELED to credit him with an average of
.32O for seventy-two games.
Under ordinary circumstances II
would be impossible to get player
hitting for those figures out of the
ranks of the big show; but this ap-
pears to be q somewhat unusual cir
cumstance, as second glance at the
official figures plainly reveals. While

MOST BASEBALL STARS FAIL

players only in the good old summer
time on the diamond and therefore
there are few fat theatrical contracts
being offered. The experience OF
Matthewson, Meyers, Mike Donlin, Ty
Cobb, Morgan, Bender and Johnny Ev-
ers, and Joe Tinker will deter other
baseball stars from attempting stage
career.
In this connection Hans Wagner
again looms up as the smartest of
baseball players. When the stage
craze was on Wagner was offered
greater inducements than were held out
to any other player, but he turned
down every offer and attended strictly
to baseball This has been his policy
ever since he signed his first contract
with President Dreyfuss and he prob
ably has more coin to show than any
other player Besides he has four
months a year to spend as he pleases
In automobiling, hunting, fishing, bas-
ketball and other pursuits that he
really enjoys.

They have always held to their bar
gain. which looked like a bad one for
Johnson. who is a better pitcher than
the White Sox southpaw, While White
is a better hitter than the Washington
wonder, but Johnson has the only vic
tory won by the agreement to his
credit.
White and Johnson were the pitchers
in hard-fought game in Chicago In
1910. White came up with Sox run
ner on second base. He laid for John
sons fast straight ball and made a
single that put his team one run to
the good. Johnson came to bat two
innings later with two Washington
players on base. He hit the first ball
oitched for a single, scoring both rum
ners and winning the game.

II consider Vean Gregg the best of

Cobb IN discussing the ability of the
portside fingers for the two major

"Marquard, of the Giants, showed
great form last season, but did not
make as good a record as Gregg, al,
though he was with championship
team and Gregg pitched for a club
which escaped finishing in the second
division by only few games.
THE Giant southpaw won one more
game than Gregg, but his record in
general is not up to that of the Nap,
pitcher. Vanguard built up his record
while pitching for team which played
consistently all season. Gregg worked
under a handicap, for the Maps played
erratic ball.
"Marquard and Rucker are the star
port fingers of the National League.
Gregg and Plank are the best perform
ers in the American. The records show
that Gregg allowed less hits per
inning than any of the other three"

ty-flve men on its roster for the whole

three, and leave twelve to be given

The fans would get better chance to
watch newcomers. The latter would
get a fairer show than can be given
them under present circumstances and
the wheels of baseball in general would
revolve far more smoothly.
The third league could be rated as
either AA or A, with one differing
proviso, that major league clubs could
recall their men from such clubs in
case of emergency. The new league

dens to the major magnates
