defeats in row was enough.
Our beloved Tigers brought home
the smoked meat-the bacon, as
it were-yesterday.
The Bees are heralded as de-
mon sIuggers. They look it. But
somehow the cards got stacked

For a team that couldn't WIN
anything in the east, the New
York Americans have done pretty
well in the west. The best friends
of the club concede that even the
peerless Leader cannot do
much until his pitching corps
rounds into form.
With the coming Of warm
weather, the Yanx pitchers ought
to do better. In Fisher and Nc
Connell, the team has two good
men, as has been demonstrated
of late; Heating, the boy spit-ball
tosser, proved his worth in the
early days, and the little giant,
Russell Ford, is still a member
of the squad. When right, Ford
is almost unbeatable, as is Jack

It was limited along the waterfront
yesterday that the heart OF Capt. Piltz

Bryan's Editor, Richard Lee
Metcalfe, by Name, New
Canal Zone Governor
PICTURESQUE REPORT
COMPILING PART OF JOB
New Official Has Long Been the
"MOuthpiece" of Nebraska
Statesman
eY A. r. FERGUSON.

The free and unlimited coinage OF
words descriptive of the great benz
dts of the Panama canal at ratio OF
ut least sixteen facts to every single
paragraph Is now absolutely assured.
Richard Lee Metcalfe has been APP
pointed governor of the canal zone.
Richard Lee Metcalfe has spent
most of the last 20 years working the
thunder mill and the lightning flasher
behind the scenes while some pictur-
esQue Ajax performed his great act
' OF defiance on the open stage before
largo and more or less enthusiastic
audiences.
One could very well describe Met
calfe as the silent partner OF William
Jennings Bryan. One could describe
any partner that Mr.. Bryan might
have had thusly, for the very obvious
reason that silence was about the only
portion of such a combination that the
esteemed secretary Of state would
leave for his partner. And Metcalfe
has been just that.
He has been so alfred silent that
there are millions of people who know
DRY III anu hhOW hC SOhiiiohNi sH'N
don't know Metcalfe is the editor OF
that paper. But that Is what he is
or was before he was appointed head
OF the Canal zone civil government,
which was Just the other day.
Richard Lee Metcalfe IL one OF the
really big men Of this country who
has hidden himself behind the per-
sonalty of another really big man.
II 10 probable that few besides Mr.,
Bryan realize how big man Metcalfe
really is He Is one Of the few great
editors whose personality Is felt by
thousands OF people without their
knowing the identity OF the man who
impresses them
Born near Alton, H., 80 years ago,
he spent his boyhood on farm. When
still boy he felt the fascination OF
the printing Office and the type stick
and served his apprenticeship at the
printers case. He was editor OF q
weekly paper when he was 10 years
old. He Joined the staff Of the Omaha
World Herald as reporter. II was
there that he met Bryan, and when
Bryan was editor OF the paper he be-
came the assistant.
He was Bryan's personal represen.
tative at the national convention in
1900. It vas he who forced the free

silver plank into the platform OF the
party that year against tremendous
opposition. 1t was he who helped ma
terially In that campaign and kept the
minds of the people on the actual Is
sues before them. When Bryan quit
newspaper work for public life Met
calfe succeeded him as editor OF the
World-HeraId. He remained at the
head of the paper until 1905, when ne
became editor OF The Commoner'
which he has since conducted.
And when II comes to annual re-
ports-take II from us there Will be
