PLAYERS ARRIVE AT NO. ADAMS
All of the Men Have Had Minor
League Experience

The advance guard Of the North

game with the 'Jeffersonians of Sche
nectady at the park Saturday after
noon
With the arrival of Manager Gran
dali, local baseball affairs will begin
to liven up. The directors of the
North Adams club have not had a
whole lot to say this spring, the pre-
liminary campaign, in fact, being so
quiet, that there has been doubt ex-
pressed in some quarters in regard
to whether or not it was really in
tended to put team in the field. The
uncertainty of the plans at Pittsheld
has held back the local club to a
great extent, however, but, with base
ball assured Town the county and the
gathering of the players in this city,
interest in the local professional club
which has not yet reached a fever
heat among the fans, will probably
pick up.
With the exception of one pitcher
Manager Crandall has his lineup all
ready for the opening game. Behind
the bat will be found Joe Tee, who
has had several years of minor leag
ne experience. He was only recent
ly dropped oy the Jersey City Inter

pitchers already secured are A. Nc
Robbie, who was with Wilkesbarre
in the New York state league up to
short time ago and who is now in
this city, and Anderson,

down in Bermuda.
Manager Grandall will cover first

siderable experience playing. the

the outfelder OF the Philadelphia Ath

in fielding last year and he also has
the reputation of being good stick

DELEGATES WITH HALF VOTES
Republican National Committee Pla.
ces Them In List Of Contests

When the republican national com
mittee meets at Chicago June G to
consider the contests filed by Roose-
welt and Taft delegates in a number
of states, the members will be con-
fronted with the problem of what to
do in districts where more than the
specified number of delegates have
been chosen with fractional votes.
Four years ago there were several
cases of this kind in Louisiana, and
the national committee seated the
double delegations and allowed them
half vote each in the convention.
This year half dozen of these ca,
SEES already have been reported and
Secretary Hayward has classed each
as a contest and referred them to the
national committee for settlement,
taking the position that the local
conventions had no authority to elect
double delegations to the national
convention, the official call having
specifically stated the number OF del
egates to be elected
Among the instances where double
delegations have been chosen are
the 4th district of Minnesota, the 5th
district of Kentucky and the 18th
district of Missouri. Notice of con
tests between Taft and Roosevelt del.
egates in the LIST, End, 3rd, 9Th and
9th districts of Virginia was receiv-
ed by the committee yesterday after
noon. 1t Is expected the Roosevelt
forces viii present 175 contests and
