Last elections in Maine dashed high
hopes for another family succession In
the senate. The Maine voters under.
stood pretty well that IL Col Fred
Hale had not slipped up on his a1nbi-

First district he would speedily have
gone into training for the senate, and
had Maine stayed Republican the or,
gani2ation, of which his father, now
ex-senator Hale, was head, would have
had a toga waiting for him.
Similarly, over in Vermont, where
for g season the late Senator Redtield
Proctor held the state as in the hol-
low OF his hand, all the plans had
been laid for a senatorial succession
from father TO son. It proceeded as
far IS the election Of the son to be
governor OF Vermont, but no farther.

For good measure, too, the theater management had their promised feature moving picture film, The Two Orphans, which more than held it's own even with the living actors, reinforced as it was by the excellent descriptive lecture giv- en with dramatic effect by Manager Pelton. Picture and lecturer were fol- lowed with the closest attention and with frequent applause that stamped both with approval.

BIG LEAGUE PLAYERe
 FORM ORGANIZATION.
Every Club Except Athletics Repre-
 ssntsd on Petition.

New York Sept. 5.--Major league baseball players formally launched their new protective organization to-
 day. It Is known as the National and American League Baseball Fraternity, and it's certificate of incorporation was signed by Supreme Court Justice De-
 lany. According to the text of the petition for incorporation, the object
 of the association is to foster a fra
 ternal feeling among the players in
 the two big leagues. Dave Fultz, for
 mer baseball and football star, who
 was largely instrumental in bringing
 the new movement to a head, is pres
 ident of the association. ss l4 It developed tonight that in support
 of the petition of incorporation afhdav- it's from seventeen players of the. two major leagues were submitted. and ev- cry club excepting the Athletics of the American league was represented. II was explained that the omission of the club of Connie Mack was due merely to the fact that that aggregation had been slow in sending in the name of its representative. ,,, As the fraternity stands today it will embrace only the members or the tWe major leagues-a roster or more tnan | 300 members. It will be the ambition 1 of the organization, however, It IS de' cjared. to include minor leagues later on, and eventually to absorb the en, fire baseball profession Of the Umtec States. No managers or officers oi
 inc respective clubs are eligible foi | membership.
