Bowdon Guardian: \ number of pol
tticians who are republicans for rev.

what remains of the republican
party IN North Dakota. These So
called progressives are pursuing the
same rule or ruin policy being carried
on by Roosevelt. They will not vote
for a republican unless he b. n Of
their own little gang. A majority of
the members OF the party in this state
spoke at the primaries the progress
sives were urn down on nomination
for governor, yet these petty pikers,
party wreckers and office seeking trick
sters will not stand by the nominees of
their party but are putting a third
state ticket in the field. They have not
the faintest hope of electing this ticket
but are merely coming the dog in the
manager act and doing their best to elect
a democratic governor. In spite of all
this activity we do not believe they can
defeat L. B.. Hanna for governor. The
majority of the voters, regardless of
party Affiliations, are tired of democrats
controlling this state and running state
amairs the way they have been run un-
der the Burke regime. No honest man
can tolerate a traitor, therefore all
honest democrats should put the boots
to progressive republicans who attempt
to curry favor with them. Vote for l..

for North Dakota as congressman and
who will continue to do greater things

DOOM sHRINKs FROM KNIFE.
Operation Advised, But Manager Of

PHILADELPHIA, April 2o-The condi-

Phillies. Is so serious that surgeons have
advised that he consent to an Immediate
operation. Doom resolutely says that he
will not submit to the knife, that his
trouble is one that bothers him frequently
throughout the season and that he will
recover from his illness as soon as he has
a chance to rest.
In New York. an operation was advised.
but the peppery little manager would not
submit. The club physician brought him
home yesterday and wired DIR. John B.
Deaver. the noted surgeon, to meet him
at Dooins house. After the examination
Dr.. Beaver said that the catcher was
suffering from what Is known as intus.
SUBSCRIPTION OF twisted bowel. II the
kink does not relax there Is danger Of
gangrene and an operation would be too
late. Doom may be forced to give in
should he grow worse during the night.
1t was this disease that killed Mike
Powers after the opening game in 1909.
and fears are entertained that Doom be-
cause of his refusal to undergo the opera
ton may jeopardixe his own chsnces.
Catchers are particularly susceptible to
such q condition, ana Doom admits that
after hard game he sometimes suffers
intensely because OF the pain In his side.
His family wants him to submit to the
knife. but he. was still Arm last night in
his belief that other measures will pull
him through without surgery.

The Armstrong Technical High School
basket ball team and indoor base ball
team will play the teams of the M Street
High School exhibition basket ball
and indoor base ball games in the
newly erected gymnasium Of the
Manual Training School. This will
be the first time that a basket ball
game between secondary schools will be
played under anything like perfect con-
ditions Of floor space. light and ventila-
ton. The M Street High School team is the
best aggregation Of players that has ever
represented the school and closed its sea-
son with the championship of secondary
schools of the east as its share Of the
seasons sport. Armstrong started off
poorly, but at times In the season showed
remarkable form. at one time defeating
the M street team. It is highly possible
that nearly all of the high school games
VIII be played in the gymnasium at Arm
strong next year and this game is played
largely with the intent Of exhibiting the
splendid possibilities for superb sport
next year. The game will take place
Wednesday,, April "a, at 2:3O p.m
The reports of the athletic badge
tests and the class athletic tests are
nearly all in for the season of 1911
1912. By May 1 all reports will be in
the hands of the secretary Of the Pub
lie School Athletic League at NJ Street
High School. The reports indicate that
but a small percentage Of the boys of
the grades. will win the bronze badge
this year, but there Is every reason
to believe that ten times this number
will be sufficiently well developed
physically to meet the running and
jumping tests another year.
OF the more than 6S boys In the
colored high schools only thirty eight
were able to pull up nine times,
jump four feet four inches in height
and run 220 yards in 2s seconds this
year. for which feat silver athletic
badges will be awarded the success
full candidates next week.
In class athletics much better re-
suits have been obtained. Some Of the
fifth. sixth, seventh and eighth grades
have established exceedingly good rec
ords for the first year of such coupetl-
ton and many of the grade te4chers
are glad to find form OF athletics that
they can manage as easily as other
class studies. .

JOHNSON AT HIS BEST
BY J. ED GRILLo.

To one not familiar with the respective
rating Of the Nationals and Athletics
yesterdays game would have made it
appear that the local team was decidedly
stronger than it's opponents. Grifith's
men made the worlds champions look
like real tail-enders yesterday. This I'M
expected showing was due principally to
the fact that Walter Johnson, who pitch
ed, was In his best form and held the
visitors to three scattered hits, while
Brown, a youngster, failed to hold his
own when he got men on the bases. Time
ly hitting, superior fielding, backed up
by artistic pitching. tell the story of the
locals victory and the deafeat of the
team which in the past two campaigns
has proved itself the strongest in base
ball.
1t was by far the most brilliant exhibit
ton the Nationals have given before

conditions were far from ideal for base
ball or an opening day. 1t was the wealth.

for it was cold enough to invite pneumo-
mia and kindred ailments.
There were no elaborate ceremonies for
the Inauguration of the season. The
band played and Vice President Sherman
threw the ball out Of his box, after which
play started: But it was an enjoyable
day for the fans, for the Nationals got an
early lead and increased it until they
gathered six runs. The Athletics never
reached the goal, and were forced to suf-
fer the humiliation of shut-out.
Though both sides got a man as far as
second In the first, neither scored. Col
Inns got to that base after two were out

While the Nationals were in training
the story went the rounds that Dan Noel

Since then 1t has been proven that Moeller

he uses rare Judgment in playing for

balls McInnes hit were directly at Noel
Ter. Had he been playing in his usual
position both Of them might have gotten
away and been those tantalizng hits
along the line. which cannot be handled
and usually develop into two-baggers.
Three games in a row have been won
by the Nationals. and the team is now
tied with Philadelphia for third place. 1t
is, OF course. not to be expected that the
team can keep up the pace, for If 1t did
IL would come pretty near to winning the
pennant But there is a chance for it to

Griffith IS SO much impressed with Joe
Engers pitching that he would use him
at once If he was confident that the
youngster had control. Control is all that
Engel lacks to place him among the regu-
lar workers on the local pitching staff.
and 1t Is believed that in due time he will
gain command. He has terrfic speed and
good curve ball. but he has not vet got
the knack of putting the ball where he
wants to. though with consistent practice

BY n. c. BYRD.

Eastern high has better ball team
than it showed yesterday against West
ern in the first game Of the high school
series. While the latter nine deserves
the credit for the victory, 1t would ap-
pear that the Capitol Hill school did not
show at it's best, and that 1t is capable
of accomplishing much more than 1t did
against the Red and White.
Had 1t not been for a few untimely
errors in the first two innings Eastern
would have made the game closer. Two
misplays in succession in the first chap
get the big lead that was sufficient to
decide the result.
With the exception Of It's pitching staff
the Eastern team is about as strong as
the usual high school team. johnson,
while he did good work in the last few
innings of the game, was hit hard at
times and failed to get great deal OF
stuff on the ball. Besides he was wild.
johnson should show Improvement,
though. before the end of the season.
He was nervous during the first part Of
yesterdays game, and failed to show as
we'll as after he had overcome the APP
prehensions that generally beset the
in championship series.
There are several good individual play
ers on the Eastern team and its outfeld
will compare well with any among the
schools. Eastern will probably do some
good work before the end of the season.
and will likely show that it is not to be
underestimated because of its defeat in
the first contest
There is no disputing the fact that
Western got the breaks in the luck yes
terday. A misplay at the plate on what
should have been an>easy out save West
ern two of its runs, and then Eastern
was kept from scoring more than It did
simply because one Of its players failed
to touch the plate.
Had Eastern had the same breaks in
the luck that did Western the result
might have been considerably changed:
Small factors control the result of ball
games, and the whole of yesterday s
contest might have been changed almost
to the point of deciding the result In just
the opposite way from what 1t was.
Both LOOMS and Johnson were as
wild as a pitcher could ordinarily be and
get the ball over the plate every once in
a while. Loomis was even wilder than
Johnson, especially during the latter
stages Of the game. Johnson's wildness
during the first few innings was due to
nervousness. but LOOMS inability to get
the ball over the plate extended through
the entire contest.
The Eastern pitcher gave five walks,
while the Red and White hurler sent SIX
