Ispecin. to the Newark star.I

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Feb. 10
After another strenuous day of train
ing, George Bell and Harry Smith, of
the Newark International League
Club. stepped on the scale this bright
day before breakfast and reported
progress in their efforts to get in
shape for the coming dash to the pole.
Commander Smith found that his
a,yoirdupois had been reduced some-
thing like four and half pounds in
two days, and >Bell had lost about
three pounds since he started to boil
out" Both Smith and Bell were stiff
and sore yesterday when they arose.
but after an invigorating dip into the
famous baths of this resort both felt
as clipper as Comanche brave
working up a war whoop before start
ing out on some pleasant" expedi-
| ton or massacre.
Smith has made a wager with Bell
| that he will bat over 300 from the
start of the season until the close,
never dropping below the honor mark.
1t is no easy task to finish a season
as Smith did last year with a record
of .315 for mauling pill, but to under
take the feat of holding his swattins
average above that point all through
| the summer, with the additional
weight of managerial worries on his
| shoulders. is an accomplishment
worth while.
Bell reports that his arm is round
| ing into shape nicely, though he has
not yet exerted himself to his full
strength for fear of relapse into the
malady which afflicted his wing last
summer. In their workout yesterday
| Bell was satisfied to heave the BAH
| to Smith for half an hour. Just be-
fore they quit Smith asked Bell to
show him some speed. George whistled
| some straight ones into Harry's glove
which burned the air and scared the
| new catchers NIT Harry is breaking
in for the coming season.
In batting practise yesterday Bell
carried off the honors with two long
drives and a single, while Smith could
only make two singles off Bell. The
pair are having duel to see who can
boast the best batting average at
the end of the week. According to the
terms of the agreement Bell pitches
to Smith and Smith must pitch to
Bell. Bell being pitcher has a nat
ural advantage over Harry. Smith,
however. has lots of speed and George
hasn't had chance to get his eye
in trim to penetrate through Harry .
Smoke just yet.
When Bell connects, however. with
his heavy club. Smith has to depend
on his support to save him. Bell
claims he. should have had another
| hit, but bush league outfielder who

 Theodore Roosevelt dominated the state Progressive convention at Koch ester. K. Y, and dictated the nomina- tions of Judge Learned Hani and Jus tice Samuel Seabury, who were named by the convention as candidates for the court of appeals.
 Judge Hand. now of the United States district court, a Progressive. was named for chief judge. and Jus tice Samuel Seabury. a Progressive Democrat, for associate judge. Both are residents of New York city.
 The nominations followed speech by the colonel, in which he made hot attack on William Barnes, Jr., the Re publican organization and Tammany Hall and defended William Sulzer. Much of the substance of Colonel Roosevelt's speech was embodied In the platform adopted by the conven- ton.
 The platform reaffirms the principles enunciated in the national and state platforms of 1912 and deals at length with renewed disclosures with respect to the misconduct of state officers, the mismanagement of our finances and public works" and other things that are said to reveal ''the cunning hand of the machine boss and his lieuten- ants of the invisible and powerful un- derworld, which has so long defied the decent sentiment of mankind" in the state. .... r..t
 Before the convention was called to order Colonel Roosevelt in response to a request settled the fight In the ex- ecutive committee and made 1t plain that he was opposed to Judgo William E. Werner of Rochester as a candidate for the chief judgeship.
