TWO PARTIES TO BRING SUITS;
PREDICTED BOTH WILL LOSE,

Pierre, S. D.-Appeal to the SUI
preme court in matters political is
being promised by both the republi-
cans and the democrats these days,
and the only point of delay appears
to be that neither are quite ready to
take the necessary steps along that
line. The republicans at heir meeting
at Huron, or that part of the party
which is not in harmony with exist
ing conditions, at it's meeting, APP
pointed a committee to carry the
matter of getting Roosevelt electors
off the republican ticket by some leg
al steps. The democrats failed to
make out a complete ticket to submit
to the electors at the June primary,
and it is reported that they will come
before the court in an attempt to Sc.
cure a ruling which will allow their
central COMMITTEE to 'fill vacancies
on their ticket, where no vacancy has
occurred. With past rulings of the
court on such matters the indications
are that neither of these propositions
Will get very far, and in fact, when
pinned down, the promoters of nei-
ther of these moves really expect that
they will have much of a showing,
But each party is at a point where
lit feels hat it must do something,
and that something appears to them
to be an appeal to the court regard

their right to ''cuss the government"
Ayers Platform.
One of the factors in the democra-
tic campaign is the open candidacy
of Thos. b. Ayers for the Senate,
against r. +. Pettigrew, the primary
nominee of that party. OF purse the
probabilities are against either of
them landing, but there are possibil-
tiles. Ayers opens his campaign in a
talk at this city in which he takes
an advanced stand" on matters po-
%litical, declaring that if sent to the
Senate he will work for the primary
for all nominations, direct election
of president and senator's; the recall
OF all officials, regardless of the plac-
es they may hold.' He will also add
vocate government ownership and
management of public utilities, and
includes in this the coal and power
sites of the country. He says he does
not care what brand they attempt to
put upon his platform, as it is prin-

issues of today. He denounces both
Taft and Roosevelt, and declares
that the Roosevelt party for the first
time in the history of the country,
is offered to the people "organized
like a piratical corporation, subsidiz-
ed before it's birth and born with a
trust nursing bottle in it's mouth
He denounces the Taft tariff pro-
gram as a fake, and declares the
whole tariff system to be merely
graft. Outside of his national policy,
he declares that the state should cut
out the constitutional proposition
against internal improvements, and
should then take up the development
of the Ignite coal beds, its natural
gas fields, its natural power sites,
and open the way to state aid for
good roads.

MIR. Preston's Answer.
"August 18th. 1912.

Hon. w. f.. Bruell,
'Redfield, South Dakota,
Dear Sir:
Il acknowledge receipt of your
favor of August 10th. | have been
absent on a vacation for nearly thirty
days. During my absence a meeting
of the State Central Committee was

stand thai an effort was made look
ing towards the submission OF the
question to the republican voters OF
this state who they prefer the presi-
Dental electors to vote for, TAFT or
Roosevelt.
THE presidential situation in the
state, and perhaps the nation as we'll,
is new and somewhat novel, II it
appear to me that whatever action
is taken by the electors should be to
ascertain what the majority of the
republican voters of this state desire.
and | can assure you that my action
will be governed by what j believe to
be the wishes of the majority.
You say 'inasmuch as a new nat
ional party has bee launched, and
the republican machine and organiZa
ton of this state, seem to be affiliated
with it that you believe it is the
proper time to make inquiry as to
where the presidential electors
chosen at Huron stand in relation To
the national ticket. l think you are
wholly in error in stating that the
organization of his state is affiliated
with the new party. l do no so IN
derstand it. So far as my conduct is
concerned, o car rest assured that

Aug. 5. l propose TIA stand by the act
ion of the republican party of South
Dakota. 1t is true that the
great majority of the repub-
licanss of this state are pro-
gressives, but because of that fact,
| that they cannot be read
out of the republican party by any
one.
The progressive republicans were
in control at the Huron convention
and they e~ndeavored to keep the re

there might be no third party, pro

 If all goes we'll with the promoters
 of the New York Connecticut Baseball League, ,Danbury. will have profes-
 sional baseball this summer. for Harry P. Guion. of Troy, N. F., we'll known in that city from his connection with professional and amateur sports, has secured the White street ball grounds
 for the coming season and is organiZ-
 ing a team to play here.
 MT. Guion came to Danbury yester-
 day in company with Thomas Dono-
 van, who was one of the players in
 Jack Roses team iu the Connecticut
 League years ago. and made arrange
 ments for the grounds. He said yes i terday afternoon that the present
 plans for the New York Connecticut League were to include Danbury, Wa terbury, and Meriden, in Connecticut, and Poughkeepsie, Newburg and King
 ston in New York State, in the cir cult.
 Arrangements were we'll, under way in the three New York cities, he said, and he went from here to Waterbury to arrange for grounds and other pre- liminary details. The formal organi- zation of the league is to take place as cult are complete.
 MT. Guion said that he expected to own and manage the Danbury tean
 himself and that the outlook as he viewed it, was for compact little league composed of cities of about the same size, in all of which there was much interest in baseball. He said that as soon as the preparations for the establishment of the league had advanced to a more definite point he
 would begin arrangements to enclose the White street grounds with fence
 and to put the game in this city on a permanent professional basis

CY SMITH BEATEN BY
 PHIL GROSS IN TEN ROUNDS

Tn one of the fercest slugging matches seen in Manhattan in a long time Phil Cross of the fighting Wal. lach family beat Cy Smith, the Jersey Cycline, to the proverbial frazzle at the Olympic A. c. of Harlem last night. The boys. stood toe to toe and battered away at one another till the humping of the padded gloves sound ed like a drummer beating tattoo Smith was wild and Cross wasn't. Hence the victory for Leach's broth CT. who kept both arms working like the piston rod of an engine and SCOT ed at bulls eye every time he shot. Long before the end of the bill Cross had the Jerseyman's face looking like a piece of Hamburg steak, his left eye closed tight and his right eye puffed up to the size of goose egg.
 With those who love the manly sart at its best, where science plays just as prominent part as strength, the bout did not take we'll. But to those who love the give-and-take milling of waterfront battle-and most of the spectators who peered through the smoke wreaths last evening gloried in that style of f1ghting-the bout was as catching as smallpox.

Kidney Punch Can't
 Be Used In Bouts
NEW YORK STATE BOXING COM. \ MISSION ALSO PROHIBITS BOYS
 UNDER 16 FROM ATTEND. ING FIGHTS.

To further improve the boxing game and to remove the last semb- lance of prize fighting, the State Box ing Commission passed a rule at its regular meeting yesterday abolishing the kidney punch. This blow is gen. orally used in clinches, and is one of the most weakening wallops in the show. This ruling compels the box CTS, more than heretofore, to box clean and thereby give cleverer ex- hibitions of the manly art. This in- novation will be appreciated by the patrons of the sport.
 Another good rule passed was the prohibiting of youths under sixteen years of age to attend bouts The commission intends to see that this rule is strictly enforced, and, if neces- sary, will call the attention of the police to al. violations, as there is a law on the statute books covering this offense.

Bob Cook Hopes
 To Coach Al Yale
VETERAN OARSMAN IS LEARN ING OXFORD STROKE WHICH
 HE WILL TEACH TO ELI EIGHT.

Latest advices from England are to the effect that Bob Cook, the old-time coach of Yale university rowing, is watching the. Oxford varsity crew at work preparing for it's annual race with Cambridge in the hope of ac- the English stroke, with a view to defeating Harvard at New London next June with his Yale crew.
 While the torpid races were in progress at Oxford on Feb. 22, and the crew was taking it's practice be- Oxford crew, accompanied by MT Cook, followed and carefully noted the movements of the men. boat an6 oars.
 The feeling prevails in England that Mir. Cook has found in MT. liar riman a very keen young oarsman who not Jnly possesses the wealth but the enthusiasm to keep at 1t un1 til such time as he has mastered tht English stroke, and that in this way he will be building the foundation o1 Yafe's future rowing policy.
 It was learned that. MT. Cook does not care to brave the chilly Marcf winds on New Haven harbor and iwil in all probability remain abroad. 1T order to have the Yale crews wei along in their rowing before his ad vent. By this plan he will be re lieved of much of the drudgery Ol coaching the men in tubs, form o1 rowing he firmly believes in and el ways advocates.
 MT. Cook was in New Haven Ions enough last fall to lay the foundation for the varsity crew but being a vete' ran at the game he realizes that thi: years freshman crew should star right, if Yale is to regain supremacy and that is what prompted him te send over for Hartman and have him take a post graduate course IT the Oxford school of rowing. wh1cf has brought victory to that, univer, sitys in the annual race with Cam bridge che last three years.
 The work of R. C.. Bourne of tht Oxford crew, who has stroked al three crews to victory and is tryins to land the fourth and make a new record, is considered by Englishme. to be standard form and for this req son Cook and Hartman will take him for their model in their effort: to transplant English rowing meth ods in this country.
 It will be rem memhered that wheH MT. Cook returned from the, Henlay invasion several years ago he brough back with. him a complete change o stroke, which strongly reminded olt rowing men of the style that the las years Yale freshman crew used a New London.
 As the water in the f1arbor at New Haven is open, 1t is expected tha- Yale will be enabled to get af1oa weeks ahead of Harvard this spring

No More Coaching
 For Hugh Jennings
INJURIES DETROIT MANAGER SUSTAINED IN. AUTO ACCIDENT PREVENT HIM FROM DO- ING STUNTS.

Fans will be very sorry to learn, according to a report from Monroe, La., where the Detroit Tigers are training, that Hughey Jennings will not be able to coach after the fashion that has made him famous when the American League season opens next month, unless something akin to a miracle happens.
 Three months have passed since Jennings was injured in an auto smashup and he is still crippled. He can't twist his wrist enough to get his fingers to his lips to whistle, and he will have trouble picking grass He can't kick and prance. for one leg is so weak he has to nurse it care fully. If Jennings has not been able to recover more than this in three months there is not much chance that he will in four weeks more. There is. fear that his injuries may be permanent

INGRAM WILL GARRY 25 MEN ON GIANTS PAYROLL
But Recruits Have Little Chance to Break Into Present Veteran Aggregation.

Marlin, Tex, March 7--McC1raw has announced that he will carry twenty five men this season, the full number not include himself The betting is even on the following regular line up:
 Merkle, Doyle. Fletcher, Herzog. Snodgrass, Devore, Murray, Meyers. and from then on.
 Figure it for yourself: McGraw has Wilson, Hartley. Mathewson, Wiltse. Ames, Marquard, Crandall, Drucke, Becker and Devlin from last year. That makes eighteen in all. It is be- lieved to be almost a certainty that California infielder, who has rejoined the club after a years absence. and who now bears the earmarks Of a baseball sensation. Assuming that big Jeff Tesreau, the spitball pitcher, is ready. as seems likely, that makes twenty men.
 Eugene Paulet, George Burns and Bert Maxwell, the recruits who finish ed last season with the Giants, are here in the spring training camp. Harry Mccormick, the former regular outfielder, is making an effort to "come back. It is by no means certain that any one of these four fel- LOWS Will ldSl, Uul they are Itld hiilSs a hard fight for retention.
 It will, therefore, be seen that the vacancies of the Giant club are few and far between, but there is, of course, always the prospect of trades that might open the way for new corners.
 No one but McGraw knows what will be his final array for 1912 and it is doubtful if even he will determine that in his own mind for some weeks to come.

With Attell at Millets~ camp is John Dillon, the Indianapolis middleweight, who is training for his bout with Walter Cof- few in Oakland next Friday night.
