At a meeting of the Law and Order
League held in Lewiston last Friday
evening to further the work in Andres
coggin county pledges aggregating over
$500 were collected and resolutions were
adopted demanding enforcement Of the
prohibitory law by the officials. Many
speeches were made, including one by
Prof. L. C. Bateman, who said, in part:
"Local conditions have been discussed
fairly and truthfully. Now want to
bring to your attention Governor Plais-
ted's promise. He said that if he was
elected he would enforce every law on
the statutes. Time and time again he
made that assertion. He was elected.
What did he do? After he had held up
his hand and sworn in the presence of
Almighty God, he distinctly stated in his
inaugural address that he would enforce
the prohibitory law. He said that he
would enforce all the laws as long as
they were on the statutes. What effort
has he made to enforce them or to in
duce others to enforce them? He has
the Cakes Law, but has he ever done any
thing to investigate the conduct of sher-
IFS or to bring them to the bar of JUS
tice?
''Now about the sheriffs I will not
specify any counties or sheriffs. If there
is a libel suit brought want 20 wit
nesses as to what l am going to say.
Now mark how careful l am to be alb
stract. A man was elected sheriff. l
do not say in what county. He holds up
his hands as did Plaisted and swears to
fulfill the duties of his office. Then he
goes back to his office and takes down
from the shelf the book of laws.
''He opens to murder and reads of the
crime and its punishment. He says to
himself that there won't be many MUIR
ders and he couldn't make anything off
the murderers, and that he guesses he
will arrest anyone who murders. And
then he turns to arson and says the same
thing. Then he turned to selling rum.
He rather guesses that there are about
$50 men in his county who want to sell
rum and that, as he can clear about $780,
$50 by letting them sell it, he rather
guesses he Will.''

CHICAGO. Aug. s.-Another member

gone his way, announcement being
made yesterday of the sale of Leeford
Tannehill to the Kansas City club, Of
the American Association. "Tannie"
Immediately started to pack his-effects
preparatory to joining Charley Carr's
team, with which organization he will
in all probability be given a steady
berth at third base or shortstop.
The passing of Tannehill takes from
the White Sox ranks one of the vet
Grams who fought through the stirring
battles of 1903, 1904, and ensuing seasons.

Wolverton Believes He
Has Star In Keating

DETROIT, Aug. S.-Manager wolver-
ton thinks he has unearthed star
twirler in Heating. recently purchased
by the Yanks from Lawrence, in the
New England League.
From the many reports I have re-
ceived' this Keating is a wonder" said
Wolverton. "He seems to have every
thing in the pitching line, and in ad-
dition to that he is a good hitter. He
stands out so far above the average
pitcher that every scout in both leagues
was after him. Shortly after l got
him l refused two offers to sell him,
one club offering me 5000 for the boy"
Wolverton expects to have a great
pitching stan next year. In fact, VOL
verton prides himself on his present
pitching staff. but his stars have not
been going very well
Russell Ford is as good as ever"
said the Yank manager. Don't ever
get the impression that Ford is going
back. We all have our off seasons.
Next season with this Heating to
work with Ford, Caldwell, Mcconnell.
Fisher, Warhop and others, i think our
pitching stan will be we'll taken care of.
Sterrett will help out the catching de-
partment, so that a few weak spots in
the infield will be about all we will
have to worry about"

RICHMOND TEAMS
IN DIFFICULTIES
Amateur Leagues Having Trouble Declaring Champion
of the City-Forfeited Games Figure In Decision.
Rivals for Flag Meet Saturday.

Richmond amateurs are apparently
having no end of trouble in getting to-
gether to determine the winner Of their
post-season series for the right to meet
the Washington winner. There have
been several differences over a matter
Of forfeited games which would have
materially affected the standings of tn.
Coliegians and the Battle Axe team,
contenders FOR the pennant there.
As the matter now stands the final
standing of the teams is to be deter
mined on Saturday when the rivals
meet Much comment has been made
upon the action of the president Of the
Capital City League of Richmond, and
while no specific charges have been
made against him the matter has been
thoroughly threshed out there.
Trouble with umpiring has also come
in for considerable criticism In Rich
mond but this has, according to re-
ports, been satisfactorily adjusted. DR..
Parker. manager of the Battle Axe
team, views the whole situation in q
sportsmanlike spirit.
The game on Saturday. sad Dr.
Parker, will settle the championship
in the Capital City league as far as tbs
Battle Axe team is concerned. II We
win, We will have the championship
beyond dispute. If we lose, the other
team will have won. That is all there
