TURNBULL PREPARES
NEW PRIMARY BILL

A bill which seeks to remove pri-
naries from the authority of the
party executive committee has been
drafted and circulated by n. Turnbull,
a lawyer OF L.awrenceville, as the basis
upon which may be drafted a primary
law TO meet the deficiencies of the
Byrd bill passed at the last session
of the general assembly.
The new bin proposes the hearing
of contests by the courts, the abolition
of fees now assessed upon candidates
entering the primaries, and the con-
duct of primaries by judges and clerks
appointed by the electoral boards and
also change in the method of can
vassing the vote.
His suggestion concerning he cam
Vass is the appointment by the courts
of a board of canvassers whose duties
would be Identical with those of COM
missioners of elections except that the
former would certify the returns to
the appropriate party committees in
stead of State officers as election COM
missioners arc requested to do.

VETERAN CUNNING SUCCUMbS
TO ABILITY OF YOUNG HEAV|ST

In a long and lengthy game
yesterday, our athletes went down
to defeat, after IL innings OF bat
tie between the Juvenile Honey
maker. Barham, and the ancient
warrior. Dave Kraft. The score
was 8 to 2.
Young Barham pitched a
mighty nice game and showed
more stuff than q drummer for
a Chicago dry goods firm. And
we are willing to admit Dave
Kraft il a lot better pitcher than
an umpire. Yes, indeed.
After much figuring We have
solved the secret Of Dawes success
as q heavist. He takes so long
to throw the ball the batter Is all
tired out waiting for it's arrival.
While the Hannibal hurler is
twirling a game Joe McGinnity
could. pitch a series.
At that, Dave was not to blame
for the loss of the combat. The
loss can be accredited to one Sails
berg, an alleged ~shortstop. Cali
fornia is to blame for Sally. 1t
was likewise to blame for Hens
ling. In the 18th with one out
and two on the bags, Salsberg
muffed on q made-to-order double
killing and let over the winning
run.
Sal Is also some batter. He
made us forget Ty Cobb yesterday
for the reason he is not any
thing like Ty. IT'S a pleasure to
watch Sal strike out, because he
tangoes all over the park trying
to avoid the agate. And he is
some little avoider.
Skin Harris also displayed signs
of a large evening the night be-
fore. Every time SKIN got a foul
fly he would drop 1t, and he could
see the globule when batting .
The Tigers scored in the first
and third, thanks chiefly to Nc
Mullin each time. The Dees got
two In the fifth, owing mainly to
a triple by Danny Shea, and that
was all until Salsberg's feature
play in the 18th frame.
Moose Swain had a gigantic
