Some Of the comment on the sup
festion Of Mr.. Root for the presi-
dency may be summed up in this
wise: "Iu point Of ability and de-
monstrsted capacity to shape and
conduct big affairs, he is all his
friends and admirers claim f1r him.
l5ut he could not be elected. lie
lacks huliabaloo. He could not meet
the exactions Of national campaign.
We have reached that stage as a
people where cue best qualified mer,
seem barred BY their very tithess from
our highest officer.
Have just reached that stage ? On
the contrary, d q not "arrive" many,
many years ago?
The first Thought is the familiar
one respecting Clay, VIZ s,er AID
Calhoun. Any one them woul1 have
made a strong President, tut all
missed. tlay did not lack even
huliabaloo, but be could not win.
Neither Webster nor Calhoun the
former too stately, the latter to cold
y intellectual, for the crowd---could
secure so much as a nomination. But
other men of that day Of large caliber
we're shunted through fear that the
crowd would not cotton to them in
a national campaign.

Cincinnati in 1876 Conkllng and

EXPENSIVE BASEBALL STAR

Ed A. Goewey, in Leslies.
Recently the Chicago White Sox paid
the Milwaukee club of the American as
sociation the record d-breaking sum of $751;
00c for Larry Chapelle, an outfiedor.
Twelve thousand was in cash and the
balance In players. And think of 1t. This
youth who has been one of the batting
sensations of the year is still only kid.
In the spring of 1911. he slipped out of
his home town, McCloslSey, ILL.,, to do
outfield duty for the club representing
Eau Claire, Wis. He was the classiest
batsman In the organization from the
day he Joined, and Hugh Duffy, then the
Milwaukee manager, siXed him up for a
star and purchased him for just $780,
Chapelle improved wonderfully under
Duffy's tutelage and last year kept up
his good work finishing the season with
a batting average of PA. At the time
the White Sox got him he was walloping
the pellet to the tune of about $40 He is
a big fellow and bats left handed, though
he throws with his right. Alosngside Of
the price paid for him, the $l1,0o0 ex-
pended by the Giants for Marquard and
the large sum given by the Pirates for
O'Toole become faded back numbers.
