Chicago, ILL.,, May 6.-There is little
chance of Chick Gandil being able to ho1d
down first base tomorrow although he
said tonight that his mangled toe felt
much better, the swelling having dis
appeared, admitting of his wearing a
shoe.
IT sure do want to get into that Chi
cago SERIES" said Gandil, that's one
team i would rather help beat than any
other in the American League, and if /
can possibly navigate I'll be on the job
before the club leaves Chicago"
Gandil was once a member OF Comis-
keys troupe from whence he was
shipped to the minors. and he always
likes to>show the Windy City fans that
somebody bIundered when he was slipped
the tin can.
Last season Gandil broke up more than
one ball game for the Nationals againsl
his former teammates, and had counted
upon tearing loose on the first Chicago
appearance this sprins. 1t is doubtful
If Chick is able to wear a uniform for
a week or so. at least Trainer Mike Mar
tin made this doleful prediction in Bos-
ton the morning before the club left for
Chicago.
Frank Laporte is one ball player who
is wise in his generation. The veteran
has never been chased to the clubhouse
by an umpire since he cast in his lot

RUCkER TO RAGON'S RESCUE

Brooklyn, May 6.-Brooklyn fans
changed their cry of first division" to
champs" to-day when the Dodgers took
the first of the series from the Cubs by
TO 8 score. Ragon was sent against
the visitors and for seven innings had
them at his mercy. allowing but two
hits. He was then retired in favor Of
Nap Rucker, who allowed but one.
In the second two passes and Ragons
error in failing to cover first, filled the
bases Zimmerman scored on a passed
Dali and Archer's single pushed in two
more. The Cubs did not threaten to
score again during the game. Brooklyn
scored twice in the initial inning on two
wild throws and single, and added the
necessary couple of tallies i'm the lucky

Chicago, ILL.,, May 6.-After twenty
eight hours of train travel the Climbers
arrived in the Windy City at O'Clock
tonight and no sooner had the players
been assigned their rooms, than there
was a mad scramble for the hay. Al
10 O'Clock every member of Griffith's
family was making up lost sleep. Ir
preparation for the opening series in the
West against Comiskeys White Sox
Tom Hughes will go against the south
side gang tomorrow, and the veteran
with almost one weeks rest, should be
in good shape, at least he is anxious
to pitch, and Griff is confident that the
veteran will come through with flying
colors.
Windy City experts, through the me-
dunn Of the late evening extras, are ad-
vertising the usual drawing card of Wal
ter Johnson for the opening game of the
series. and picking as his opponent Rig
Ed Walsh. The last named may be in
the box for the White Sox, but johnson
will not oppose him. In fact, ii is doubt
full If the Kansas cyclone gets into the
series at all, unless il be to finish up a
game when the Climbers are in a tight
hole, for to tell the truth the Old Fox
does not believe Callahans bunch will
give his young athletes whole lot of
trouble, judging, of course. from what
he saw of them last summer. and the
club is virtually the same with possibly
one exception =
On the present Western trip the Ma
tionals have sixteen games booked, four
each with Chicago, st. Louis, Cleveland,
and Detroit in the order named, and
while discussing the outlook Manager
Griffith said tonight:
Il am not predicting a wholesale clean
up. as was the case on our great trip
last June, but / believe we will not lose
more than four games say one in each
Western city, all of which will keep us
up near the top, so that when we get
back home we will be i'm a position to
Jump into the lead. providing, of course.
We are able TO get the breaks against
the Athletics and grab off the majority
Of those games"

Old Fox believes this quartet will be able
to bring home the bacon. This leaves
Drohan, Gallia, and Joe Boehling in re-
serve. all three of whom will be held in
readiness to go into the box when occa-
sion requires.
There is universal regret among the
Griffmen that Eddie Foster could not
be here. especially for the Chicago se-
ries. as the Windy City is Fosters home
and he is a great favorite here
No sooner had the Nationals reached
their hotel than dozen or more tele-
phone messages were handed to Manager
Griffith. all of them from Fosters
friends. who wanted to know how the
midget third-sacker was getting along.
A glance at the local weather may
shows that the Nationals and White Sox
are to be favored with plenty Of sunshine
for tomorrow. Thursday. and Friday,
with possibly a cloudy day Saturday
also that the temperature will be low
enough to make life pleasant for the
toiling athletes.
The White Sox this season are touted
as being a whole lot speedier on the
bases than last year: in fact, one Windy
City, expert declares that Callahan's
troope is one of the fastest in the Amer
lean League but he fails to explain
why they are in fourth place, with thir-
teen games won and nine lost, while the
Nationals are right on top of the leaders,
with eleven victories and only four de-
feats.
1t was thought that Griff would have
pitcher Ed Dent join the Nationals in
the West. but when asked regarding the
matter tonight he replied I've decided
not to, although. while we were in Phila
last week I thought / would have him
join us in Chicago"
Up to date Griff had heard nothing
from Connie Mack regarding the pro-
posed game against the Athletics in
Phila. on May a. after quick jump
by both teams from the West.
In figuring up Walter Johnson's great
pitching record up to date. viz, 43 1-3
innings without a run being scored
against him, the claim that he has only
to go nine more innings to beat the
record of Jack Coombs who hung a mark
of fifty-two innings for the other twirl-
ers to shoot at during the season Of
1911. That Johnson will shatter the
record of Coombs not one of his team
mates doubt for minute.

Judge Hays seems to be some pump

terprise of last week we eread where
Hays began to hold Office before ne
was out of school, the plate natter
stating that he was nominated and
elected justice of the peace while he
was yet in school, and adds, without
his knowledge or consent We all
know about that old gag. Then later,

THE FIGHT on BRUNDEDGE

The methods which Judge Hays and
his managers have adopted In their
campaign against Mr.. Brundidge for
the office of governor are new in Ar
kansas politics, and in introducing
them they have called forth the con-
demnation of may of the best citizens
,of he state.
For the first time we. have seen an
attempt to use religious and frater-
nal organizations in the interest of 9
candidate for political office. Friends
of Judge Hays have not hesitated to
,,ake use of his fraternal affiliations
lin an effort to draw support for their
candidate. Letters written on the Of
fetal stationery of the Woodmen OF
the World and Farmers Union and
perhaps other organizations, signed
Nv officers of these lodges, have been
calculated to members of the Order
throughout the state seeking support
for Judge Hays. Officers of labor
unions have been induced 10 assume
partisan attitude in behalf OF Judge
Havs. That these methods have oeen
Denounced hy members ami officers OF
the organizal icns and that those re
sponsible have been warned of such
violations of fraternal duties and OBJ
legations seems not to have lesseneo
the activity along this line.
In their fight against Mr.. Brun
didge the opposition have used meth
DDS not less reprehensible. Brundldg'
has been accused of being a Jew,
Catholic, Methodist, Baptist or al
Iinfidle, as the appeal to the prejudice
of the listener might seem to have tn
greatest force.
u Jeff Davis, in his recent campaigl
, against Brundidge, was far too Wis
a politician to make use of any sucl
material as the Hays forces have nov
/ brought into the fight. In fact, al
though we were never a political ad
mirer of Senator Davis, we hardly De

FARMING THE FARMERS.

The Log Cabin Democrat was today
furnished with a copy of a circular
letter signed by W. I. Ham, doorkeep-
err and state lecturer OF the Arkansas
State Farmers Union, addressed to
one of the' members of the union here.
The letter is written on the official
stationery of the union, and is dated
at Russellville. the state Farmers
Union headquarters, but was mailed
at Little Rock.
Dear Sir and Brother" the letter

decided that one of the candidates Is
not in sympathy with the farmers
while the other one has the endorse
ment of the farmers in his home coun

Nowhere in the letter does the mann
of Judge Hays appear. and the recip
lent is left to surmise who is Brothe
Dickinson's choice, until he reaches
sentence which says the Opposition
hopes to elect Mr.. Brundidge. "opp0
