Few names were better known tc
baseball fans ten. twenty, or. thirty
years ago than that of George e. Van
Haltren. who has played on both coasts
and mid-continent In the last three
decades.
Van Haltren is one OF the men who
made baseball better. He lives today

life in fdleness did not his nature de-

Van Haltren has laid aside bat and
glove to handle the indicator. and In

on the Coast for the Pittsburgh club:
when the season closes he follows the
trade he learned as q boy-that of
lather-not because he needs the money,
but to keep busy.
The income from apartment houses
he owns would keep Van Haltren In
affiuence. His forty-six years rest
lightly upon his shoulders. His home

their two daughters having musical

tions concerning the fact that the
Browns are In seventh place most nat
uraIly lead to the query. what's the
matter with the Browns?
To which the reasonable answer Is:
Nothing at all.
The Browns are just where they
should be. The Browns stand seventh
in the American League parade, using
the word parade after observing the
doines of the Athletics. The Browns
are seventh in batting. The Browns
are seventh in fielding.
Only in two things do they excel
they lead the league in getting on via
bases on balls Likewise they have
struck out more frequently than any
other club.
Only one team in the American
League has made more errors. 1t mas
been said that the Browns get superior
pitching They do not. The Browns
have made more assists than any other
kclubs in the league save two. They
knust have had a lot of chances, for as
club. the Browns are seventh in field
Mg.
TO the careful observer it appears as
ing seventh should be seventh In the
standing. Possibly managers Of super
Tor brains might make 'em hit more
frequently and field better than thu
present incumbent, but George Stovall
manages to hit .322 fields his position
with the best of them and prior TO his
connection with the Browns was regard-
ed unanimously as mighty fine fellow
personally and man OF baseball brains.

HAND PROBABLE THAT OTTO
MEYERS NAME WILL NOT BE
AGAIN SUBMITTED.
N COLDER.

Fights that were made on five demo-
cratic. postal appointees in this state
resulted in the failure Of the senate to
confirm the names. With the passing
OF the special session and the opening
of the regular session Of congress, the
fight against at least a portion of the
appointees will be waged with new
VigOr.
The Darlington office is one on which
the largest fight was waged. A, w.
~Stambaugh was appointed postmaster
to succeed the republican incumbent,
who was ordered to resign, but who
has so far refused to do so. The re
publican members of congress from
this state were successful in holding up
confirmation of the appointment and it
died with the passing OF the special
session.
Bruegger Supports S~tambaugh.
National Committeeman Bruegger,
however, will stand by his original re-
communication in favor of Stambaugh.
The committeeman maintains that
S~tambaugh Is the real choice of the
Foster county and Darlington demo-

~Stambaugh is a prominent politician
in the central part Of the state. and he
has long been Identified with the inter-
ests of the democrats.
Bowman Office Is Troublesome.
Another appointment hat is caus-
ing a great deal of trouble Is that of
Miss Myrtle Nelson to the Bowman Of
flee. She also succeeds a republican
incumbent who has been asked to re-
sign. Senators McCumber and Gronna
were successful in holding up conhr-
nation of appointment during the spec
ia1 session, and they will continue the
fight in IN effort to prevent the sub
hitting of Miss Nelson's name a second
time. ...
w. w. Smith, who was appointed to
the Valley City office, where a repub-
lican office holder was asked to resign,
also will be given more trouble before
he secures confirmation. Frank Rem

Dickinson Land Office Fight.
Another fight that will be renewed is
on Otto Mayer for the receivershlp OF
