the senatorial succession may cut con-

some person.
For instance. suppose Senator Hoke
Smith is named to succeed himself in
the primary of 1914. When the matter
of filing the four months vacancy
comes up 1t will be for Governor Slaton
to say whether he will appoint Mr..
Smith or some one else to the four
months term.
If MIR. Smith is named in a primary
as his own successor to a full term. the
presumption win be-say you?-that
Governor Slaton viii name him senator
for the short term.
Maybe so-but there is this; When
Senator Smith was elected senator by
the legislature. he declined to permit
Mr.. Slaton to commission him. He
commissioned himself as about the last
official act of his term In the govern
orship. Mr.. Slaton succeeded to the
governorship few minutes afterward.
Mr.. Smiths friendship for Mr., Slaton
was, at the moment, at rather low ebb.
that Senator Smith would find it equal

signed commission two years hence. as
he made 1T plain that he so found it

HUNTER KILLS RABBIT.
THOUGH SHOT HIMSELF

MACON, GA, Jan. 9.-As c. b. Hol-
leman. a Macon merchant, while hunt
ing in Jones county yesterday aimed
his gun at a rabbit. a stray shot from
the gun of an unknown hunter in an
adjoining field struck him in the eye.
AS he staggered he also pulled the
trigger and the discharge from his gun
hit and killed the rabbit. When
brought back home in an automobile
for surgical attention it was discov-
cred that the shot had worked it's way
to a place back of the eye, making an
operation necessary today for the re-

MONTREAL, Jan 9.-No attempt

IS HAL CHASE SCHEMING?
Said to Be Heading a Clique in
White Sox With Harry Lord.

NEW YORK, August 13.-According to
authentic reports that come from Chi
cago. Hal Chase, first baseman of the
White Sox. is up to his old tricks. The
Chicago base ball chroniclers insist that
there is a clique In the team and that
Chase has joined hands with Capt. Harry
Lord in plot to Gust Manager Callahan.
Chase has been scored recently for poor
playing, and in a public interview Owner
Comiskey is quoted as saying that he did
not sanction the Chase deal Comiskey
also expresses the opinion that Zeider
even up for Chase would have been a
much better deal for the SoX
Chase and Lord have been close friends
for several years. When Chase was man
ager of the New Yorks he urged a deal
by which Lord would become a member
of the local American League team. Last
winter. after Chance had been signed,
Chase again tried to induce the New
York club to purchase Lords release
from the White Sox. In return for this
kindness, Lord urged Callahan TO let
Zeider and Borton go for Chase. 1t is
said that as soon as Chase Joined the
White Sox he and Lord doubled up.
AS result of the clique in the Chicago
team asrumor was circulated recently
that Callahan was booked to go and that
Jake Stahl might succeed him. But now
the story in Chicago is that Lord. backed
by Chase and others. is anxious to as
sumo the managerial reins Comiskey is
opposed to cliques. and is reported to be
ready to investigate. All of which would
seem to indicate that Chance, a firm be-
lever in harmony. made a wise move
when he engineered the passing of the
crack first baSeman.

MORE CHANGES LIKELY
IN NEW YORK LINEUP
Chance in Doubt About Cook
and Probably Will Put Zeider
in Knights Place.

NEW YORK, August 13.-When Frank
Chance boarded a train with the New
Yorks for Chicago last night he had come
to several conclusions. it is said After
carefully observing the playing of Luz
Their Cook. the new right fielder, Chance
believes that the Texan lacks the re-
quired amount of speed and also needs
more experience. Cook will be retained
until further notice. but 1t is probable
that as soon as Harry Wolter RECEIVERS
from an injury to his right arm he
will be sent back to center field, while
Hartzell will supplant Cook in right field.
1t also is the p. LIS intention. so the
gossips say. to place Zeider on second
base as soon as the latter is able to re-
sumo playing. knight, while he is play
member of the New Yorks two years
ago, hasn't been hitting with the best re-
suits and Chance believes that Zeider
Will prove better man for the middle
bag.
Jack Warhop, the little pitcher who has
been with the team for several seasons.
probably will be traded in the near flu
ture, as he has been of practically no
value in the box this year and seems un-
able to regain his effectiveness.
Chance is said to be well satisfied with
Fritz Maisel. the young third baseman;
also with Hal Williams. the big first
baseman. The New York manager de-
clared the other day that Williams was
game and willing and possessed much
natural skill. He also said that no player
In the American League could excel Will
liams in sliding to bases.
IF Williams comes through after a
thorough trial." declared Chance 1.-The
groundwork for real ball club will
be laid. The p. L. already believes that
in Peckinpaugh he has the best fielding
shortstop in the johnson circuit.

NEW RECORD SET IN
$1,000 RACING STAKE
Chamber of Commerce Won by
Frank Bogash, Jr., Driven
by Murphy.

DETROIT, August 13-Frank Bogash,
jr.. won the Chamber of Commerce stake
at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon
i'm straight heats and incidentally estab-
lished a new mark for the thousand
dollar pacing fixture. The record OF the
race until yesterday was held by The
Eel. who stepped a mile in 1903 in oO3
from this mark in his final heat.
Each heat in the Chamber of Com
merce was a contest to the final six
teenth post when Tommy Murphy who
has familiarized himself with the win
ming path at the fair grounds through
years. brought Bogash through to win
by handsome margin. Leata J. was al
ways a good second, while Stetbrino Lad
took third money. Betting on the stake
was insignificant compared with that in
other years.
I.eata j.. Of course, ruled top.
They were away at the first scoring
all in perfect alignment when Starter
Walker gave them the word. Stetbrino
Lad Immediately took the track and
raced two lengths in advance of Leata
J. and Frank Bogash, jr.. the others
ing as a team two lengths behind Stet-
brino Lad at the. three-quarters. The
pair closed in on the leader entering the
stretch. and a sixteenth out Murphy
brought Frank Bogash through to win
smilingly by two lengths, Leata j., hard
driven, beating Stetbrino as far for
second place.
