KEEP SILENT AS TO
THEIR AMBITIONS
SanbOrn, BOSShard, Husting and
MCGOYeTn Are Mum.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.-The arrival CT
the steamer Alabama with it's cargo
of politicians did not serve to relieve
the political situation to any marked
extent.
Former Senator A. w. Sanborn re-
fused to say whether or not he would
be candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. Governor
McGovern would not say anything re-
garding the senatorial ambition that
is charged to him.
State Senator Otto Bosshard's in
tentions regarding making the run
against Congressman John j. Esch in
the Seventh district are still un-
known. State Senator Paul 0. Hus-
ting was so busy greeting friends that
he did not have time to say anything
regarding his possible candidacy for
governor on the Democratic ticket be-
fore leaving for home.
Senator Bosshard disappeared i'm
mediately after landing from the Ala
bama, and his intentions are still un-
known. Some of his senatorial asso-
ciates, however, do not credit the
statement that he will run against
Congressman Esch. They said the
senator during the latter part of the
legislative session said he might have
to resign his position as senator on
account of the demands which his bus
mess made upon him.

WOLGAST STILL In RING
Former Champion Is Eager to Sign
Up for Ten Round Bouts.

MILWA UKEE, WIS.-Bla zing with
diamonds and carrying natty cane,
AID Wolgast, once king of lightweights,
came back to the scene of his early
adventures. He is en- route to his
farm near Cadillac, Mich.
Wolgast does not intend to quit the
ring, as recent reports stated. In
stead he is eager to sign up for a
number of ten round bouts.
81 am ready to meet any boy they
pick for me-" AID said. 81 would like
to take on Leach Cross in October.
About the latter part of October l will
be ready to box. My hands have been
troubling me great deal, but think
after resting them for week or two
longer they will be sound again"

CITY WANTS MORE TAX
Assessment on Electric Plant Is Said
to Be LIGHT.

WAUKESHA, WIS. - The ques
ton Of raising the assessment of the
Waukesha Gas and Electric plant
will come up for argument before the
board of review today. This is an
important matter, as the company is
charged with not paying taxes on the
real valuation fixed by the railroad
commission, which was $383,197 on
June 90, 1921 More than $4,000 has
been added. it is said, to the plant in
extensions during the year.
Assessor Blair assessed the plant
this year at $4,000, and City Attor
ney Walsh is contending that the as
SCISSORS figures should be raised at
least to $350,OO0 to be on basis with
other city property.

criticised on several occasions, Bill has
always tried to do his, best and gener-

long distance for an Official. Here's
hoping Dineen and Ferguson will con-
finue to do as good work as they did

The Grihmen are OF!
Disgusted with the poor work of his
players, their sleepy, hstless style oil
play. their apparent don't-care-a-hang-

round of defeats, Manager Griffith told
the boys something yesterday. They're

Milan's failure to stop ground ball
scored Chase with the first and Sir
Robert Groom wild pitched the next
across. At the most the foe should have
had two runs But never mind the
score, the Griffmen have come to life.
That's enough for US.
Despite rumors around town that a
wholesale shakeup is coming to the
pitching staff. Manager Griffith is will

with his present bunch, II only the
others will hit some. Philadelphia, with
young pitchers not a bit better than

are not as heavy hitters as the Mack
men, nevertheless. Tom Hughes, Boehl-
ing. Gallia. Mullin and Engel should
be able TO win many games. II they are
given support with the willow.
Sir Robert Groom didn't look any too
well when he started yesterday, but he
was able TO stick in the game and i'm

together with the bat and pounded out
enough runs to give the lanky finger
