Nv cen President Taft and Col. Theodore

state t. The Republ!ca1 National con-
VentiOn is on at the polls today. The
followers of the Pre- esident are as con-
fident as ever that when the votes are
counted tonight President Taft will
have captured at least - out of the sc
delegates. Senator Dixon, in behalf of
Colonel Roosevelt, takes issue with this,
and sOmr of his aids even went to the
extent of saying they would not be
at all surprised if the former President
wins the fight entirely.
The more sober impression Of those
who are COnNersant with conditions is
that President Taft may get a larger
number of delegates than Colonel ROOse-
welt. but that the victory will by no
means he as large as that predicted
bv the friends Of the President.
The Faderal machinery has been par
ticCIarIy active in this state TO defeat
Colonel Roosevelt, and all Of the for
midable array Of bosses. bossleIS, and
wardsmen ar bent on crushing the
former President. Among thase are

Early this morning the police received
message from Fredericksburg that the
couple had cloped and were believed
to be in Washington. The police were
asked to make every effort to prevent
their marriage. AS the couple were

REPLY FROM HOBART.

Hobart. Ind, March 14.-Sporting
Editor TIMES: Please insert this in
your columns:
Since the Whiting Owls (the would
like-to-be champions of Lake county,
cannot take defeat we'll as victory,
they who had the nerve to say through
your columns that they were robbed
of the game Saturday evening. a reply
to same propably would be of interest
to your readers to know the exact
truth.
1t is not true craftsmanship (Which
the Owl club should represent) to kick
after they have been defeated fair and
square and by better team, as the
score, SO to II, evidently shows.
Their kicking about the dribble was
only because the Owls soon found out
before the game was in its early stages
that ii was this feature of the game
that Hobart was strong. and as it was
understood and agreed upon by the two
managers that the A. A. u rules with
the dribble were to be used. they have
kick coming as to that.
As to the refereeing, the referee of
that evening officfated in three games
under the same rules with the best
teams in Gary, to the satisfaction OF
