Stand-Patte,s SnW
In Control of G.. @. p.

Allan II. Frazer was selected tenn
porary chairman OF the Republican
state convention, TO be held in Lans-
ing, Feb. IL, in a meeting OF the Re-
publican state central committee, in
the Hotel Pontchartrain, Tuesday aft
ernoon. The vote was Is TO 5, with
former Gov. Chase s. Osborn, candi-
date OF the progressive faction OF the
committee, on the short end.
The meeting of the committee was
scheduled for noon. Foreseeing a
fight, Chairman Groesbeck invited the
members to luncheon, and the session
was held in a private dining room,
from which the committee emerged at
4 o'clock.
When II was seen that the progress
sive members could not gather
strength enough to name Mr.. Osborn.
they suggested several other men as
compromises. One was Senator Frank
James, of Hancock, who was support
ed by a petition signed by most OF the
Republicans in the legislature. When
James proved unacceptable, the names
of Congressman-elect Carl z. Mapes,
OF Grand Rapids; Congressman-elect
Louis G. Cramton, OF Lapeer: Insur-
ance Commissioner c. A Palmer, OF
Manistee, and Lieut.-Gov. John Q.
Ross, of Muskegon. were proposed,
without avail to break the apparent
agreement OF the majority to vote for
Frazer. The final vote stood:
For Frazer-John ID. MacKay,
George B. Yerkes, Fred NJ. Alger
(holding the proxy Of John t. Owens,
OF Benton Harbor), Guy A. Miller
(proxy for Walter l. Lille, of Grand
HAVEN, and George II. Clippert
fproxy for William G.. Manchester, OF
Detroit), all OF Detroit; Robert n
Shields, Of Houghton. whom Gov. Os-
born fired" from the state tax com
mission; Richard Fletcher, OF Bay
City. one OF the leaders OF the old
guard; Willard F. Cottrell, OF Jackson;
william Dawson, of Sandusky: Will
liam Z. Brown. OF Lapeer; John
Baird. Of Saginaw: Otto Sprague, OF
Owosso; Perry F. Powers, OF Cadillac
For Osborn. T. Dobson, Ann AT
Dor: Bret Nottingham, Lansing;
Joseph e. Bayliss. OF Sault Ste. Marie;
Samuel Odell, OF Shelby; Harry Hink-
ley, OF Benton Harbor.
This was the second vote taken. On
the first ballot, Perry F. Powers voted
for Osborn; and as a majority or the
"a members OF the committee was
needed to effect choice. Powers
switch to Frazer was necessary TO
secure the required IL votes. On Dob
sons motion, Frazer's election was
then made unanimous. Dennis r. Al
ward, Of Glare, was chosen temporary
secretary.
Mr. Frazer was not acceptable TO
the Osborn faction of the committee
because they are not sure Of his atti-
tude. They claim that he failed TO
show In the last campaign whether he
n In sympathy with a reformation OF
the Republican party, or adheres 10
the principles OF reaction
Rep. Hinkley and Senator Odell
said. after the meeting, that Frazer's
3 election means the death OF the pres
ent convention system. A bill has al
ready been introduced In the legisla.
ture, TO make the state central com.
mittee the choice OF the candidates
nominated by the people in the pri-
maries. and the duty OF the state con.
vention merely the adoption OF a plat.
form.

charlottesville. Va, June 1.-Follow-
ers OF school athletics, who delight In
the genuine enthusiasm OF such con-
tests, have been struck with the re-
markable work OF one Virginia team Of
schoolboy players-the nine represent
ing the Jefferson School, of Charlottes-
vile. Ably coached. first by Eppa
hiXey; an alunnus. now starring on
the pitching staff OF the Phillies. and
mer battery mate at Virginia. this
team won on distant fields or on its
home LOT from the following repre-
sentative Virginia school nines
stanton Military Academy, Wood
berry Forest. Miller School, Augusta
Military Academy. Fork Union Academy
and McGuire's University School. which
latter team won the scholastic cham.
pionship OF Richmond over fierce com
petition. Not one OF these teams won
game from the Jefferson nine, which
also defeated Fredericksburg College
and other nonscholastic teams But
one school contest was lost. that a
hurriedly added double header game
with Covington, which team Jefferson
afterward defeated decisively. The
Covington games were played on the
saturday preceding the Monday of JEFF
ferson's hardest game away from home
so that substitutes had to be used in
both Saturday games
no" sweeping was the superiority
OF the Jefferson School team In Vir-
ginia may be seen from the fact that
inc teams which this nine defeated
either beat or played tie series with
the following additional school teams:
Roanoke. Fishburne. Episcopal High.
Orange High, John Marshall, Rich
mond Academy, Benedictine College.
shenandoah Valley Academy, Alexan
dria High. Cluster Springs. Dinwiddie
High, Blackstone Academy, Chester
High School. and probably others not
yet reported. This direct comparison
gives the Jefferson team a clear SUI
ginia school mines
While no absolute championship can
be possible without a league Of all
school teams in the State. it seems clear
mat no other team even approaches
the good grounds upon which are
based Jefferson's claim to the cham
pionship title.
