counties Involving nlnety-iye votes.
According TO the rules Of the party

BY the county chairman are entitled
to participate in the temporary or
sanitation. ON the temporary roll
the Taft chairman was elected by
ninety-eight votes and forty.seven
votes were cast for the Roosevelt
candidate. The committee on Gre

adopted unanimously by the con-
yention, no delegation whose seats
were contested being permitted to
vote on its own case. AS soon as
the majority report of the creden-
tials committee had been adopted.
the Roosevelt adherents bolted.
There was not the slightest reason
|, for sustaining the contest for Roose-
welt delegates.
Kentueky-Eighth District.
The Eighth Kentucky district was
composed of ten counties having
1853 votes, of which eighty-two werS
necessary to a choice. There was
no contest in Ave of the counties,
and although tho Roosevelt men
claimed that there was one in spen-
GER county, no contest was pre-
scented against the seating OF the
regularly elected Taft delegates
from that county. This gave the
Taft delegates eightyfour votes or
two moro than were necessary for a
choice. In other words, assuming
that the Roosevelt men were entitled

In the Third Oklahoma districe
the question of validity of the seats
OF the delegates turned on the con-
stitution of congressional commit
tee which was made up of twelve
Taft men and seven Roosevelt men
The chairman, Cochran, was a
Roosevelt man, and attempted to
prevent the majority Of the commit

man was removed, and another sub

Speaker was left far behind. There
was lust one player who took part
IN all eight games Of the series who

this belonged to the Giant star. He
made an even dozen hits, among
taam four doubles and triple
which Melted him a. total of eight
cen bases. His fielding was per

Herzoq OutcIassed Gardner.
BY contrast. Larry Gardner
rated as the foremost third sacker
in the American league, was made
10 look like bush league player,
for Herzog outclassed his Boston
rival on all sides. In the Volumi-
nous comparisons of the players
made before the series few of the
experts rated the Giant star as the
equal Of Gardner Today there are
few who do not admit that he is
superior to the Red SoX inielder.
Herzog's worth as a ball player
Is not IS be judged solely upon his
worlds series performance. This
merely served to bring him more
prominently before the public. He
has proved his value long since,
and that Manager McGraw recog-
nized his ability may be taken for
granted when it is recalled that he
signed him up for a term Of three
years at the time he was repur-
chased from Boston. That was
about mid season last year, and

Florida Has Strong
Team and Expects to
Trim Yellow Jackets

II AChSONNlLLE. FLA. Oct. 33.--
Florida's football team is now ac-
- lively al work preparing for a hard
struggle with Georgia Tech in this city
next Saturday
Last Saturday the "Alligators" won
from the strong University of South
Carolina eleven, and the boys are now
feeling able to take the measures OF
their remaining opponents.
The Carolina game showed that the
team had real football strength. no
holes We're found in il and with CON
slant practice. Coach Pyle believes his
men viii be in fine condition for the
coming battle with the Georgia boys.
The players were used up bit in the
game Saturday. but none was hurt The
hospital list is nil. The regulars are all
in trim and viii come to Jacksonville
with the intention of taking the meas
ureS of their opponents
The forward pass is being used con-
siderably by the Florida team this sea-
son, Good gains are generally made by
them with this play. They are also
good at line bucking -some of their
best gains last Saturday were made
through the strong Carolina line A
speedy set of backs. with some good
subs combine to make the outfit look
like a winner
Team Play Is Good.
The team work so far this season has
been good. While there are a number
| of stars on the eleven. they have not
| been guilty of breaking up team work to
make grandsrand plays. This is one
point very much in favor OF the boys
Their "machine' is a good one and is in
good running order.
The strength of the Tech eleven is not
| being underestimate The scrubs are
| being pounded numerically every night
as they line up in supposed Tech form
/ atoms. Quarter Back Buie handles his
| team with consummate skill. He is a
good field general. He has a good head
and does not try to work one good man
to death because he is good ground
gamer
In the games played this season, the
! team has proved to be as dangerous in
the fourth quarter as in the first. With
the score against the Foridians they
never quit fighting. Such was the case
| in the last game with the boys from
South Carolina, The game was lost un-
til the last eight minutes of play, when
a touchdown and goal were added tc

are always found ready to accept al

1t was the natural conclusion to

lack OF confidence was also imbued
