THE BASE BALL FAN

To find the baseball fan in his

paper follows the records of play
ers about as closely as the sharp"

Who can tell how many anarch-
lists and criminals have been saved
by the wholesale outlets for emo
tion furnished by the enthusiastic
ball field?
The passionate absorption of the
fan in his favorite team NAV dull
his ambition for success in life.
Still why worry about making your
thousands when you can get all the
fun you want for 25 or SO cents?
The ten dollars a week clerk whose

The blnacher crowd of each indi-
vidual town has its own tempera-
ment. Some snap with caustic wit
ticisms at the expense of the de-
feated. Others root cheerfully and
steadily for the home team winning
or losing. A player that stands for
chat kind of a public does not quit
running to first merely because he
has hit an easy ball.
In some towns the prevalence of
betting leads to an ugly undertone.
It's poor kind of backing. Money
in the stands is apt to mean money

The nike" of the "Y" boys yes

was well attended, and enjoyed by
every one who went. The boys are
becoming more enthusiastic over
these "hikes," so much is that
they are demanding them, espe-
cially now since there is no school.
The boys who went yesterday
are Ralph Gedney, James Sutton,

Frank Case, Maurice Mayer, and
Arthur Stoker. Stalking the deer

pastimes of the day excepting the
eats which are always enjoyed by
the boys
1t is possible that in about two

America will be organized under
the auspices of the Young Mems

the first organized troup in Elko
and great things will be expected
of them. There is no doubt but
that the troup will prove to lie one
of the best in the United States as
the surroundings of Elko are much
as will tend to make a sturdy, effic-
cient, and loyal troop of Boy

Results Show Suffrage
Cause Is Losing Ground,
Says President Of Ants

'The defeat of the suffragette
cause in Michigan, where the opposi-
tion made a desperate fight; the re-
cent action of the State senate in
Pennsylvania and the State legisla-
lures of Massachusetts and Iowa, and
the recent refusal of the legislature
of the State of Maine to take action
in the cause indicates that public
opinion has turned against the suf-
fragists, even if there was ever any
in their favor.
This is the announcement made by
Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, of New York,
president of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, through
the Washington headquarters of the
organization. This was given out fol-
lowing the receipt of q report from
Michigan that the suffrage campaign
had been lost there.
What happened Monday can bs
taken as conclusive proof that the
men of this country have awakened
at last to the folly Of the doctrines
"In Pennsylvania, the State senate,
for the second time in a week, show
ed the weakness of the suffragists by
refusing to take a final vote on the
resolution for woman's suffrage. In
Massachusetts,, the State legislature
took the action which means that
suffrage for women is beaten there.
Iowa followed suit in he Legislature.
''In view of these overwhelming
blows to woman's suffrage, the So
called demonstration by the suffra-
gists here yesterday before Congress
was little short of a farce. 1t is
known, through polls that have been
made of the House and Senate. that
the National Congress stands at least
two to one against woman suffrage.
Hopeless before the National Con-
gress and beaten in the States, there
is only one conclusion which the suf-
fragists can reach-that whatever
public opinion they ever had has
turned against them"

WILSON NEAR BREAK
WITH SMITH FACTION
Congressman Konig's Ultima
tum on Baltimore Postmas-
tership May Cause Rupture.

An open break between President

ton Of the Maryland Democracy, and
Presidential recognition OF the Mary
bIry-Lee progressive wing, were indi-
Gated today in the developments at the
White House, when Congressman KofiS
os Baltimore. a machine" representa-
tive, told the President that II Col.
Lewis Rawlins were not appointed post
master cf Baltimore he would be ready
to sever all relations with the Admins
tratioa.
CONGRESSMAN Konig left the White
House thoroughly angry, and it Is be-
lieved he carried the ultimatum of the
Smith wing IF the party in Maryland to
the President. President Wilson told
the Congressman that Sherlock Swami
had been recommended to him by
various Marylsnd Democrats, and had
been determined upon by Postmaster
General Burleson for the job. Mr..
Swami is the candidate Of the Mary
bury-Lee wing of the Maryland Democ-
racy, while Colonel Rawlins. who has
been assistant postmaster at Baltimore
for twenty-five years. and commands
Inc t1ltn Marylanu heSinSut VI the
National Guard. is backed by Senator
Smith. Mayor Preston, OF Baltimore.
and others.
Mr. Swami is one of the best-known
citizens of Baltimore, and was chair
man of the committee which directed
the rehabilitation Of the city after the
fire in 1904.
Another patronage fight which threat
ems the Wilson support in both House
and Senate with peril is one which was
presented to the Presidents attention
today by a committee from New York
state, including Representative Brown
Of st. James. L. l.; Stephen Ryan; ,,., of
of Cayuga county, and Louis Ants
dale, Of New York. They were intro
duced to Franklin D. Roosevelt, AS
sistant Secretary Of the Navy, who has
been one Of the most vigorous oppon-
ents Of Tammany in the New YORK
Democracy for the past three years.
They requested President Wilson II
ignore Tammany Hall outside of New
York city. The President gave no in
timation Of his decision in the matter.
