tions. that he had been unfaithful

NEWARK PASTOR
PRAISES GAYNOR
Rev. w. P. Coon Declares Him
to Have Been One of Worlds
Greatest Men.

Civilization has apparently received
another check, said the Rev. w. p.
Coon. of the Union Street NJ. e.
Church, in his sermon yesterday. The
unique mayor of the greatest me-
tropolis of the Western hemisphere
has passed out, stern and stormy
petrol on the stormiest ocean. The
Z sequel to the insane assassin's shot of
August 10, 1910, has happened, and the
greatest purpose of William ]. Cay
nor's life has been thwarted. His
choicest aim remains unaccomplished
What he intended to attempt against
Tammany remains for another per-
sonality to attain.
Abel found the true manner to wor-
ship Omnipotence, only to be cut
down by Cain. But true worship sur
vived. Marshal Ney, hravest Of
Frenchmen, showed France to what
position patriotism could be exalted,
and the state rewarded his attainment
by rife fire. The worlds Indignation
has entrenched loyalty and bravery IN
every heart that emulate5 his valor.
1t is idle to speculate what Lincoln
would have further achieved had 1t
not been for the bullet of brilliant
fanatic.
Roosevelt survived the assassins
bullet because his task was unfin-
ished Some are questioning the sim
cerity of former Mayor Gaynor's
statement of his purpose to expose
and expunge Tammany upon his re-
turn from Europe. Has he not had
nearly four years in which to attempt
this? 1t takes time to accumulate
evidence against so deeply-entrenched
an organization. Then, too. though
making no promises or alliances TO
secure his office, he may well have
been reluctant to proceed with undue
haste against a machine that has
existed longer than the memory or
this generation, and particularly be-
cause he had received his nomination
from it's hand.
In that they turned him down in
August is relative proof that Tam
many could not "use'' him, and his
whole career before assuming the
mayoralty Is further indication that
he could not be reached in an i'm
proper manner politically, and also
would indicate his sincerity of state
ment.
William J. Gaynor is only one of a
long list of characters who have been
unable to carry into effect the
cherished designs of the soul, how
ever pure and generous their purpose
may have been.

MOVE TO ELIMINATE
INTENTIONAL PASS
Ban Johnson Seeking Plan to
Prevent Pitchers Strate-
giC Play

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Some plan
whereby the giving of intentional
bases on balls can be eliminated from
major league baseball is being sought
by President Ban b. Johnson. Of the
American League, who recently has
received many letters from baseball
followers protesting against the prac-
tice.
For several weeks President John
son has been searching for some feas-
ible remedy for the strategic pass, but
with no success.
"The intentional base on balls has
come to be one of The most, if not the
most, unpopular plays in baseball" he
said yesterday. 'The great majority
of the games patrons seem to oppose
il. So do l. but what are you going
to do about it?
Many complaints have come to me
recently suggesting pitchers giving in
territorial bases on balls be penalized,
but no one has suggested good
,method of detecting the intentional
pass. If we pass a rule forbidding
the pass the pitchers will Simply
make a bluff at trying to get the ball
over the plate and will give the star
batsmen their bases on balls lust the
same. This likely would result in a
lot of wrangling with the umpires
when they would attempt to penalize
the pitcher, because the pitchers in
variably would protest that they were
trying 20 put the ball over.
Some have suggested penalizing all
bases on balls with equal severity
but that cure would be worse than the
disease. Fewer pitchers would be
able to make good should such a rule
/ be made"
