Nows on the action taken by the Dem
focratic convention at Baltimore:
i The Inter-Ocean-"The representa-
hives of the Democratic party in ma
ltional convention assembled, have
bowed again to the dictatorship of Will
liam Jennings Bryan. 1t is generally
accepted that if he should by any
chance be elected Mr.. Wilson would

/ Tribune-"By the nomination of Gov
Woodrow Wilson the Democratic party
mas placed at the head of it's ticket it's
emost promising leader and it's strong
est candidate.
Gov. Wilson represents intelligent
lprogressvism within his party, pro-
lgressivism which found successful ex-
tpression at Baltimore, thought it failed
fat Chicago The Democratic party is to
3be congratulated upon the choice of
Gov. Wilson.
The Woodrow Wilson,
fGovernor of New Jersey, is the nomi-
NEE of the national Democratic conven-
}tion for president of the United States.
THE Chicago Examiner will support
the Democratic nominee.
1.-THE circumstances and conditions
Surrounding the nomination of Gov
Wilson furnish the amplest vindication
fof Champ Clark from the assaults and
Misrepresentation of Gov. Wilson's
friend, Bryan. Because the very influ-
tences about which Bryan made his
hemagogc assault upon Champ Clark
we're identically the same influences
which at the appointed time brought
about the nomination of Woodrow Will
5son."
Record-Herald-"Go Wilson is a
moderate and sane radical, construc-
tive radical, student of history, poll
tical science and economics.
HE has risen above party levels and
has co-operated with clean and public
spirited Republicans He has vetoed
popular legislation when he knew that
1T was crude, unfair and half-baked
He has protected legitimate interests.
THE convention fight was strenuous
land at times bitter but the conditions
Funder which the nomination was fnaI-
lily made augur for party harmony All
tcandid observers will admit this and
congratulate the convention on hap

RED LETTER DAY FOR SPORT

pion white heavyweight of the world -
| Moreover there are three negroes in
the heavyweight race, Sam Langford,
Joe Jeanette and Sam McVeagh, any
one of whom are considered capable of
finishing any of the white men here
named.
Johnson's gay life in Paris is the
basis of the hopes for Flynn. That the
negro must have gone back a lot is
conceded by ring followers. TIE is now
thirty-four years old, which makes him
the Oldest of all present day ring stars
Heavyweights appear to last longer
! than the lighter men for some reason;
but he is long past meridian of his ca
reer in any case. Flynn and his back
ers have been pointing out these facts
with great gusto as evidence that the
Pueblo heavy has but to take things
easy for few rounds and then had
the tagged old darkie sleep punch
To prove the absurdity of this notion
it is necessary only to say that Flynn
| himself is a veteran only one year
younger than the champion.
Flynn sounds like Irish, and the
usurper of the name looks like full
blooded Irishman. Moreover, his fight
ing has always been marked by the err
ratio wild Irishman" style. But that
does not make him one. Every drop of
blood that flows in his veins comes
from Sunny It." His parents embark
ed at Rome forty years ago, with
Brooklyn as their destination. Later
they went to Pueblo.
Andrew Chiariglion-Jim Flynn-be-
gan his career in Pueblo ten years ago,
and he has had slow but steady
climb into prominence He was called
Jim Flynn in his first bout because
the announcer could not pronounce his
real name, and the alias has stuck
His second victories over Carl Morris
and Hal Kaufman gave him his claim
for match with the champion.
Five years ago Johnson beat Flynn
who then weighed 1856 pounds and was
really nothing like the fighter that he
is today. Flynn was not knocked out in
that fight. In the eleventh round he
had CHASTITY eye and was bleeding so
profusely that Mrs. Flynn jumped into
the ring and had the referee stop the
encounter.
A short time ago a bout between
Wolgast and Rivers would have been
considered as one-sided as the John
son-Flynn go. Wolgast has evinced
wonderful capacity for taking punish
ment and made frequent exhibitions of
a real knockout punch. Rivers, on the
other hand, was beaten not very long
ago by Johnny Kilbane, champion of
the featherweight class. But Wolgast
has been operated upon for appended
tbs since he won the lightweight crown
and Rivers has shown decided i'm
provement since his defeat by kilbane.
Il had to starve and sweat and boil
myself down to Kilbanes weight" Riv-
ers explained. Il left my punch in the
steam room. Since then l have had
three fights with boys of my own
weight and all of them were knock
outs. Wolgast hasn't got me scared
a Bit
While Wolgast claims to have suf-
fered no loss of strength by his opera
ton last Thanksgiving, his old time
form has failed to show itself in the
two bouts that he has figured in since
his recovery.

FIRM, REFUSESgBONOS
Says 1t Was Given a Wrong
Impression.

The Harris Trust and Savings COM
pany of Chicago which was awarded
the Liberty Pike improvement bonds
at a premium of $500 have refused 10
stand by their bid, and refuse TO take
the bonds on the grounds of an al
legged mistake. The Chicago firm says
il was under the impression that the
bonds were backed by Wayne county
and that when il learned that they
were backed by Wayne township they
could not take them. The bonds were
today awarded TO the Second Nation
al bank and the Dickinson Trust com
pany at premium of $3.50.

THREE. FEATHERS.
That In Ones Cap, tho White One and
Jobs Iurkey's Tail.


"a feather in ones cap" is derived
from Scotland. Among the woodcraft
enthusiasts 1t was the custom for the
individual first to kill woodcock to
pluck out a feather and place it in his
cap. Oliver Cromwell conferred dig
nifty upon this expression when. on his
refusal of the English crown. he OBJ
served, Royalty is but feather in a
mans cap; let children enjoy their rat
tie"
A thoroughbred gamecock shows
only red and black feathers. and a
cross breed is known by a white
feather in its tail. Hence ito show
the white feather" conveys a strong
notion of cowardice. from one point Of
view at least.
One may search the Scriptures in
vain for any allusion to Jobs turkey.
The expression las poor as Jobs tur-
key" had its origin in the brain Of a
humorist. Sam Slick. He described
this bird as being possessed of but
one feather in it's tail and as of so
feeble constitution that it was only
by leaning against a fence that it was
enabled to gobble.-Exchange.

SELBACH RETIRES
FROM The DIAMOND
Former Harrisburg Manager
Interested In Automobile
Body Firm in Ohio

When AL X Selbach found that he
was not to be reelected manager Of
the Harrisburg baseball club for the
coming season he completed arrange
ments to stay in business at Colum-
bus, Ohio, and has now announced
that he is through with baseball. Sell
bach during the fall helped to or
ganize a company to manufacture
bodies for automobiles and special
wagons and the business has proved 50
successful that he has decided to stick
to business and has been elected sec
retary-treasurer Of the concern.
Selbachs one desire was to come
back to Harrisburg and make good.
He had numerous things to contend
with during his two years leadership
of the Senators and baseball did not
prove a success under his manage
ment. Selbach was quite popular with
the club officials and with the fans,
but in baseball a manager must be a
winner to last.
The former Senator manager has
been actively engaged in baseball for
the past nineteen years and has had
major league experience in Washing
ton, Baltimore, Boston, New York
and other clubs.

Although Signed for Fights
Before Johnson Go, Flynn
May Not Start

Although signed for several fights,
Fireman Jim Flynn today stands a
good chance Of engaging in none Of
them. Jack Curley, his manager, has
gone to Toronto to stop his fight to-
night with AL Williams, fearing
Flynn will be arrested. Jack Johnson
declines to permit Flynn to fight Al
Palzer in New York No responsible
club has yet made an offer for the
Johnson-Flynn fight, so it seems all
Flynns matches may fall through
The offer Of 100000 for the john

Las Vegas, n. M, are not taken seri-
ously.
Carl Morris today issued a chal-
lenge to Al Palzer for a ten round
fight before a New York club. 1t is
likely the match will be arranged
since Palzer's scrap with Jim Flynn
will be called off because Of John
