swinging their delegations TO Colonel Roosc-

ington dispatch which called forth Mr..
Perkins's statement was to indicate the
ways and means by which those who are
cndeavoring to bring about the nomination
Of Colonel Roosevelt were understood TO
have been accelerating' popular sentiment.
but there was no intmaton that Mr.. Per-
kins or anybody else was employing money
cOrrupuy in carrying on a movement which
cannot have been inexpensive
while disavowing some of the activities
attributed to him. Mr. Perkins apparently
does not deny his keen interest in the
Roosevelt movement, or that he is doing
what he thinks he properly can do in his
own way to advance It,"
do you hear anything of Brother Bryan
these days?' asked Busy Man. And Gov
ernor Wilson-how is his affair with Colo
mel Harvey coming on?"
William j. Bryan takes the side Of
Woodrow Wilson in his break with Colonel
Harvey and Henry Watterson, justifying
the act on of the New Jersey Governor in
requesting that his name be withdrawn
from the columns of 'Harper's Weekly
This announcement was given in a letter
made public last week.
The recent break between Governor
Wilson and Colonel Harvey Mr.. Bryan
says. illustrates the impossibilty Of CO.
operation between men who look at public
questions from different points of view.
Colonel Harvey became a supporter of Mr,
Wilson when he was selected as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of New Jer-
sey, and he continued his support when
Governor Wilson began TO be discussed as
a candidate for the Presidency. OF course,

HAS SMOKY JOE"
 WON 15 STRAIGHT?

Chicago, September 1.-The question AS to whether pitcher can be batted off the slab and still be credited with a victory came up after the game be- tween the Boston Americans and the Chicago White Socks Tuesday. Inci-- dentally, there was much argument ss to whether Pitcher Joe Wood should have been credited with his fifteenth victory He was officially declared the winning pitcher. but there were many who argued that his string of victories had been broken, and that Pitcher Hall should have been credited with the vic tory. Under the system worked out by John Heydler and Robert Mccoy when the latter was secretary of the Aneri- can league, no pitcher was given cred 1t for a victory IT he was batted out of the box. President Johnson did not follow that system In a recent ruling involving Pitcher Walter Johnson. The president of the league could not be found and no ruling from him could be had regarding Pitcher Wood.

Anniston, September 11.-tSpecal)--
 Since the announcement that Larry Brown would accept the position as manager of the local ball team in the Southeastern league, which is to be re- vived next year, every effort has been
 made by the fans to induce the direc- tors of last years club to sign him. Brown was acknowledged as the premier catcher of the league last year | in every town which held a franchise, and acted as manager in the absence
 of Red" Tom Fisher.
 Brown states that if he is given the position. and if the salary limit is re- duced to 5000, which he says that he thinks 1t ought to be, that his team will be composed largely of college players. which are rapidly filling the teams of every league team. He IS watching the amateur games In Bir- mingham closely, and says that the ma tority of the players of the league next year will be drawn from Birmingham and Atlanta.
 Coach Hannon of the Alabama Presby terian college has announced that the practice of the football squad will start next Wednesday He expects to put out a strong team this year With the return of Captain Underwood Will be Archibald, center; Leach, captain | of the 1911 team, tackle; Crosby, guard; Nathan and Campbell ends; Brown, guard. and Sankey, quarter

Mob After Umpire

Detroit, September 11.---After Umpire Connolly called Cobb out for stepping out of the batter's box in the third Inning, a spectator in the grandstand hurled bottle at the umpire. It struck the ground, bounded and hit Connelly in the mouth. Cobb had singled and Bush scored on the dis puted play. Several Detroit players loudly protested and Manager Jen- nings was sent to the clubhouse. Cobb seated himself on the bench instead of taking his position In center field and Connolly pulled his watch. Cobb finally went out but the wranglingl did not stop Witt was also ordered to the club house and in the seventh inning Bush was exiled.
 After the trouble Lake became wild and his support went to pieces Phil adelphia ran bases wild on Kocher, stealing il sacks. Collins stole six of these Six runs behind in the ninth inning, Detroit made a rally and drove substituted and walked the first bat ter who faced him, filling the bases.

JOHN DIS REASON

Cleveland, O.. September 11.-John D. Rockefeller's reason for riding bicycle when engaged in playing golf became known today through man who Is often the oil ma gnate's opponent on the links. Mir. Rockefeller does not. as popularly supposed, ride the machine between drives in order to conserve his strength. He has discovered that bicycling brings into play more muscles than walking and what is vastly more important, he has the bicycle rigged so that every time pedal goes down 1t measures certain dis tance. Hence riding from the beginning to the end of each drive he knows ex- actly how long each one is. Hereafter, stories efnanating from Forest Hill re- rarding long drives will have to be ac- cepted as mathematically correct and not mere guess work

of the working agreement with Navin s club.
 Now that the managerial problem has been settled, little speculation is being in- duged in as regards the 1913 club An drews has formulated no plans whatever and Elberfelds absence from the city has prevented the acquisition of his views as to local needs. From remarks dropped by the kid here upon the Dobbers' last visit, however 1t is reasonably certain that he will make a complete change at first base and in the outer garden The remainder of the infied Is likely to be Elberfeld on third, Baenti on short and Jordan on second. Otto is the undis puted property of the local club notwith- standing all reports 10 the contrary.
 From the little talk that has been in- dulged In local sentiment seems to be that Elberfeld will be n great success here. The kid Is popular personally and furthermore 1t Is not believed that he will be interfered with as have other pilots

LOOKOUTS PREPARE TO WIN
 CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT YEAR

Chattanooga, September u.-(Special)- The rapidly approaching end of the Southern league season is being hailed with no little joy herea bouts. as local fans are deathly sick of the brand of ball which was served up to them from the middle of the season until the close OH the home lot last Saturday The only pleasing feature of the last home stay of the club was the sensational work Of Balenti at short. The Indian at the pres ent time is playing the most wonderful ball ever seen on the local lot and not withstanding the fact that he was not recalled under optional agreement by Gin cinnati the local club owners greatly fear that he will be drafted. He will hit around .2eo for the season, while his field ing will be a revelation. It is thought here that Billy Smith Is certain to have Clark Griffith put in draft for the chief and under these conditions 1t Is not unlikely that Detroit will also, in view

Optional Agreement Upheld

Cincinnati. September 1.-The na- tfonal baseball commission today ruled that a clause in the constitution of a minor league prohibiting the accept ance of it's clubs of a player under an optional agreement. is in conflict with the revised national agreement, and, therefore. null and void.
 A minor league club may. however, for business reasons, decline to enter into an optional agreement with a major league club of higher classifica- Ition, but its privilege to do so cannot be restricted or nullified by legislation of its league.
