October 3lst announced that he had
called meeting of the national com

made the following statement:
The national convention which met
in Chicago in Pune delegated to the
national committee power to fill va
cancies on the national ticket. The
death of Mr.. Sherman, candidate for
vice president at the coming election,
makes it incumbent upon the national
committee TO nominate a candidate in
his place.
The nomination cannot possibly be
made prior to the election next Tues
day. Such a nomination can properly
be made only after due and reasonable
notice to all the members of the com
mittee. Such notice cannot be given
in less than six days. II is therefore
manifestly impossible to hold such
"A meeting prior to the election.
Meantime no difficulty or incon-

The late Rear Admiral Evans prob
ably never knew how near he came to
being challenged to a prize fight dur
ing the visit to Mexico which he
made soon after he was retired. He
had been heralded as Fighting Bob. 8
and upon his advent his exploits
formed the one topic of conversation
in sporting as we'll as in other cir
cles.
Among those who listened was a
local aspirant for pugilistic honors
who has since learned more of the
game in the United States. His
knowledge OF affairs was limited, and
it did not occur to him that the title
of Fighting Bob" could have been
earned outside the prize ring. The
talk aroused his jealousy, and finally
summoning all his courage, he con-
fded to his friends that he had de-
termined to have 1t out with the for
eigner as soon as a bout could be-
arranged. The joke was passed
around the capital before the defend
er of Mexico's sporting honor was let
into 1t.
