By BUD

PITTSBURG, Nov. f-Following the
news that Fred Clarke Is TO continue as
manager OF the PIttsburg baseball club
next season, comes the statement that
John Henry Wagner, peer Of all ball
players. will again appear in the lineup.
Honus has determined on a course OF
winter training. which will keep him In
condition. and early during March he will
tako tho trip to the southland there
to put on the finishing touches.
Hasebail's gain is basketball's loss, as
far as Wagner Is concerned The big
German is devoted to the floor game and
had intended heading strong team In
the West Penn league. when thoughts OF
next spring and summer occurred to him.
Still, John Henry was willing to take a
chance; he had played the floor game be-
fore with no bad results; why, then,
should he refrain this year?
However The missing reason was soon

DREYFUSS SUGGESTS
|NTERLEAGUE SEASON

PITTSBURG, Nov. Barney Drey-
fuss, the owner OF the Buccaneers. has
a very important suggestion TO make to
the other nagnates Of the National
league at their meeting In December, and
II the plan is accepted by his fellow club
owners In the old circuit and later ap-
proved by the American league men, a
big interleague series, bringing all the
clubs OF both leagues together, Will be
staged al the close of the 1914 season,
The PittsburG magnate wants to have
the regular seasons close on August 81
and fill out the month of September with
a special series. in which each club OF
ach league Will meet the eight teams
OF the other league, Thirty-two games
are proposed for each club.
"I have been thinking out this plan
for some time" said Mr. Dreyfuss. land
I am going to suggest 1t at the COM
doubt that I can convince most OF the
other club owners that 1t would be we'll
TO give the thing q. trial
1T looks to me as If special series
OF thirtytwo games, each club pla ying
two games a home and TWO abroad with
each team In the other league, would
meet with the approval OF the public and
prove popular attraction. in addition
to being far more profitable to the club
owners than Is the present system.
''I do not mean that the worlds series
should ne abolished. Let that stand. lust
as il is now, the two penna MT winning

close OF the interleague all-around Sc

''I believe chance to see all the clubs
OF the otiser league would keep up en-
thuSlasm during September.
AS things are at present. only the
pennant- winning clubs and the second
clubs make profits that can be called fair
If my plan is adopted. II will give the
six other clubs I'm each league a chance
TO increase their receipts and at the
same time provide patrons with a new
form OF baseball entertainment which I
believe they will apprecia te.'

Send Connie Mack Another
Pitcher in 1880.

BRAINERD, MINI, Nov. Leslie
Bush, the phenomenal pitcher Of the
Athletics who humbled the Giants, is
20 years old and, like Bender, the
great Chippewa Indian pitcher, was
born in Brainerd, MINI Bush is the
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Bush and
went to. school in Brainerd. He did
his first ball PLAYING when his father
was on the road, Bush, Sr,, being a pas.
senger conductor on the Minnesota &
International railway.
In the family, all boys, are Charles
now %; Eddie, aged 80; Leslie, 10;
Richard IS, and the baby, Leonard
aged FL months. Bush played in the
Brainerd nine and at first was used in
the field and on third base No one
knew he had much talent for pitching
until one day when Brainerd was play.
ing at st. Cloud in 1911 an imported
pitcher went poorly for Brainerd and
the manager bounced the fake pitcher
and as last resource put Bush on the
mound.
The boy astounded the st. Cloud bat
ters, for he held them runless and hit
less the rest of the game. When Brain,
erd played Little Falls, Bush won out
His brother, Charles, played second
base and when he continued 10 mufi
balls, Leslie shut off any more throw:
in that direction, shrugged his shoul
ders, took no more chances on fielders
and won the game by his pitching
alone.
When the 1912 season was about to
start. the Brainerd team manager con

meantime railroad men had talked up
the young pitcher out west and Hugh
Campbell, president of the Missoula
club, who is himself Brainerd prod
uct, got CLIFF Blankenship to take him
for tryout,
"Bush came to me- said Blanken-
ship later, Gas green a pitcher as you
ever saw. Why, he didn It know how
to stand in the box.'
But Cliff knew good material in the
rough, and he said then that Bush was
a conner and had as much speed and
stuff as did Walter johnson when he
was picked up in Idaho. With Blan-
kenship catching, young Bush was soon
coached and the natural ability in the
boy asserted itself The season closed
with Bush doing his share toward win
ming the pennant. In the Union asso-
citation Bush was in fifty four games
and is credited with 93 putouts, l02
assists, II errors and percentage of

DON'T GET EXCITED.

Some of the papers in Arkansas and no few of the wOuld-be politicians who are anxious to get some free adS ertls- ing are simply worrying themselves to, death" for fear that Governo: Joe T. Robinson or the president pro tenn pore of the senate will not call sEe- cial election to give the people an oI- portunity to elect the governor $ sue ccssor when he goes to tho United States senate.
 In the first place all this fri sht is premature and unnecessary. GoVer- nor Robinson will probably rematl lr the governors office fer several months yet, even until Pre.ident W.T.! son calls special session of congress. Governor Robinson is busiiy engaged making good his promises to the peo- ple who elected him and anti. he makes good in every promise he will hardly leave the governors office to take up his new duties a. Washington.
 Friends who know Governor Robin son best have never mentioned any other idea but that he wili call s2s- cial election or assure the rns.ic tna, the temporary acting gove:n5" of the state will do so. The paoplc of Ar kansas will be given an oppof to select good man to i'll GoVerhor Robimson's place. Those who a:e anxious to take on the governors ro:'e are so eager to get into the capl-ol building that they can hardly wait un- til the governor speaks on the sub ject. Those who visit the governor office at Little Rock come away ihof- oushly convinced that Mir. Robinson 's entirely too busy making good ,o give his successor thought at this time.

 ng the legislators to favor such a plan; yesterday announced that hcy mad abandoned the idea and that ao bill for the creation of the new coun- ty would be introduced at this session of The General Assembly. The oppo- sition from Dewitt, Pine Bluff and other points was so great that taosc beh nd it decided th'9t it would be use less to attempt any change of county boundry lines at this time. It is stated that compromise has been ef- fected and that a bill, introduced yes terd'ay crea4 ing a district court fol Stuttgart, in Arkansas county, s the solution of the new county problem.

 There is noth ng disgraceful about about cigar stand O. the employ mens of young ladies there. It is un- fortunate that young girls are forced to work for a living, but just SD long as there is work for them trey will continue to earn an honest liv ng and they should not be legislated against any more than salesman in store should be prevented from earning a living.
 Senator White might argue that a g I'll comes in contact with men while working at cigar stand and that they are apt to, become delinquents. This argument will not hold good. Girls can be ladies behind Il cigar stand and command as much respect ns girls in a dep~ ~rtment sore and the man who Nculd m sjudge her because of her employment. is the low creature that should be legislated against.

TINE BLUFF
 0ROGRESS l ROsPERITY
OUR NEW COMMISSIONERS.

The Miller bill giving to Pine Bluff a commission form of government will pass the Senate, i. believed, when it is called up in that body by Scna or White. The bill is said to have been drawn by a Pine Bluff at tornsy and provides for the appo mt ment by ahe Governor of three com missioners, who will have complete Jurisdiction over and control of city affsirs. eliminat ng the pre:ens alle"- manic body and d number of depart ment iateads.
 The measure originally named Sim cn Bloom, mayor-elect of Pine Bluff, as the chairman of the board of com nissioners, but t wa: stated in Little R3ck yesterday that Repre- sentative Miller would amend it immediately So as to take out the name of Simor ElCom as chail man of tGe board ans leave 1t t othe Governor to name the
 
 being ma de, it is stated, because it is COT ended that % name any one or nor commissioners in the bill makes the measure uncopsti ut 'onal. There Is no doubt but that Simon Bloom vii be appoined ed by Governor Robin son as one of the commissioners and as te head of tse commission.
 Tue appointment of mon Blocln is only recognition of he will of the majority, as he has been honestly elected mayor of the city by large majority.
 in appointing the other two conn misslcners Governor Rob 'ns3n will doubtless display his usual good Judgment and selsc. two men who vii be satisfactory to the entire communi. ", men who are worthy, honest ant efficient They should be men wht can devote all of their t me the du ties assigned them and should bt practical business men who are famil i9r with city affairs and the needs O the ely government.

under their respect we heads of de- par ments. They must be ready at all times to listen to complaints and remedy all evils that may exist ill the city. The Miller bill is well drawn. It $ not an exact copy of the Fcrt Smith bill, in that it has eliminated the civil service for city employees, as required n the Border City meas ure, and it provides for only three commissioners, where the Fort Smith bill gives to that city five.
 The Graphic knows that Governor Rob nson will select the two commits sioners, in addition to Mayor -elect Bloom, carefully. He will weigh their ability, their standing n the community and their on-political af- filiat on. Governor Robinson should be left alone in selecting the Pine Bluff commissioners. The offices in this instance should seek the men and not the men the off ces. Some com plaint has been filed by the Conner cial, because it does not favor giving to the Governor the appointivc power n local government measure.
 The Graphic has implicit confidence in Governor Robinson. He has been tried many times and has never failed to do what is best for the people. He has the nerests of his constituents at heart and avoids playing politics when non-political act rebounds to the good of the people. Governor Robinson should exercise his own judgment in naming the comm ssion- CTS. He has large e'cquaintance here and he can judge, withou. any advice, who might be best fitted to serve the new commission form city honestly and we'll.
