With the lively ball IT seems as If the
turn OF the modern game sets as strongly
toward batting out as 1t does 10 sacrifice
when the other side is two runs ahead.
The law of chances this season thus far
has been with the hit and run play as OPP
posed to the sacrifice. With dead ball
the reverse would probably be the case.

DENY OBJECTIONS
IN TAFT'S RANKS
Only Two Southern Delegates
Lost, Say Leaders

Chicago, June 1S.-This morning the
Taft chieftains issued a statement
saying in substance that the efforts Of
the Roosevelt men to win delegates
from Taft have resulted in the ac
quisition of but two southern dele
gates.
j. C. Styles, S. S. Minsey and J. H.
Boone of the Georgia delegation,
whom the Roosevelt managers assert
ed had joined Delegate Grier in the
revolt from the Taft column, repudi-
ated the assertions of Grier.
Then, too, the Taft managers got
after Mr.. Finn and Roosevelt for
slamming the Hawaiian delegation for
Roosevelt and issued letter from the
governor of Hawaii saying that the
delegates from Hawaii were instruct.
ed to vote for President Taft
Louisiana held a meeting and
agreed to vote for Taft and Senator
Root as temporary chairman Of the
convention.
President Koenig of the New York
county Republican committee declared
that the New York state delegation
was stronger today for Taft than at
any time during the past month. 1t
looks, he said, as though all but ten
and perhaps eleven of the delegates
would stick to Taft.
Two members of the Pennsylvania
delegation to the convention hitherto
figured in the Taft column, announced
that they will not support the presi-
dent but will vote for a third candi-
date. The delegates are Congressman
w. w. Griest and W. H. Keller of
Lancaster The dark horses they
favor in the order of their preference
are Hughes, Root, Robert Lincoln and
Cummins.
An intense fight has been going on
by the Roosevelt people in an effort
to defeat Senator Root for temporary
chairman There is no evidence or
Indication, today, however, that SEN
ator Root is to be defeated.
The Illinois delegation at meeting
furnished a surprise to the Taft man
ayers. The latter believed that twenty
two of the fifty eight delegates would
vote for Root. At the suggestion OF
Governor Deneen the question was put
UP to the delegates as to whether they
would support for temporary chair
man any man whom Roosevelt might
select. When the roll call was called
fifty-one voted in the affirmative and
seven in the negative.
Senator Dixon issued an authorized
interview in which he said among
other things:
"The last check we made showed
that Colonel Roosevelt ought to have
in the convention about forty-two ma
jority."
He expressed the belief that Colonel
Roosevelt would have thirteen in
South Carolina and said nine have
signed a letter to Colonel Roosevelt
to that effect. He thought there would
be defections to Roosevelt in two or
three states about which they would
have statements later. There is not
a southern state" he added, that has
not been broken into by the Roosevelt
forces"
