HON. EVERETT L. WERTs.

The time in which to make up your
mind whom you will support for office
at the primary election next month is
getting short. There is one Office for
which the democrats of the Thirty
third senatorial district should have no
difficulty in deciding who should have
the nomination. and that is represent
alive in the general assembly, for
which position Hon. Everett L. Werts
of Oquawka is a candidate. His past
record as a member of that body
should insure him a denomination with
out opposition. In these days of graft
and the spoils system there cannot be
too many men of such high standing
and clean character, both public and
private, in our legislative bodies as
Mr.. Werts. He has been weighed in
the balance and found not wanting in
honesty or integrity. At the present
time, when so much Is at stake, IL
would be worse than folly to discard
tried and true man for a new enc
whose personality and ability is little
known throughout the district.
His past service and experience in
the general assembly are valuable Sc
Crets' anu WouIu give MIN an adVan-
tage over a new member that is meal
culable, as he could be at work when
a new member would be going through
the experience of being broken in"
Ii would be to the credit and advan-
tage OF the district to have Mr.. Werts
as its representative. and it is a duty
the democrats owe to themselves. their
party and the state to see to It that he
receives the nomination on the 9th of
next.-Raritan Reporter.

GRIMES AND CLARKE ARE
 YOUNGSTERS IN THE GAME
By ASA ROUNTREE. JR.

Making the leap from the vast unknown into class A company within the short period of one year has been the feat per- formed by both Burleigh Grimes and Danny Clarke, aspirants for regular berths on the 1914 Baron special. Each kicked over the amateur traces and en- tered professional company during the spring of 1918, and each is now battling energeticaliy for a niche in fast com pany. The rise of these two youngsters has been remarkable and has even been a surprise to them.
 When Grimes reported in the spring of 1913 to the Ottumwa club of the Gen. tral association. the same one Frank Gregory was with, he had little idea of making good and only hoped to gain some experience by working along with the professionals. However, he display ed much natural ability and gave evi- dence of such promise that the Ottumwa pilot assigned him to a regular posi- tion on the flinging corp. But he was not destined to stay long in, the bushes, the Lookouts purchasing him during the early part of the campaign.
 Grimes had fairly good season with i, Chattanooga during the time he was in the Southern and much is expected of him during the coming campaign. In February news was received at Chatta- nooga that Grimes had been injured in a logging accident so the Lookout manage ment decided to get rid of him as the extent of his injuries were not known. Waivers were asked on Grimes and Bir- mingham refused, getting him for $l00. The injuries did not impalr his pitching so the Barons got dependable y6ungster for a comparatively small sum. While with Ottumwa Grimes hurled nine games. winning six and losing two, giving him an average Of 750. In these games 67 opposing hatters beat the air in vainly attempting to find the ball, an average of over six strilSeouts per con- test.
 In Judge- kavanaugh's organization Grimes worked in F contests, winning six and losing seven. for an average of .i6i. He allowed only no batters 10 rap out bingles off his delivery. struck out B and gave 30 players passage to first base qn balls. Grimes hit Ill and fielded .97S making only one error.
 The former Lookout stands five feet, 101s inches in the air and weighs 1,0 pounds. He bats and throws right hand ed and lives during the winter in Clear Lake, Wis.
 Danny Clarke, who is bucking Marcan for his job at the keystone bag, saw service first with the Meridian in the Cotton States league, his home town. Here he showed little promise as player as his teammates had lost all interest In the race, they being hopelessly in the eel lar, and were more intent on having a good time than in playing ball. During the final half of the season the Meridian club sold him to the Gadsden club in the Georgia Alabama league.
 With Meridian he hit .219 in 91 games, S71 at third and stole 10 bases.
 Soon after joining the Gadsden club Clark struck his real stride and before the season closed batted himself select company, finishing with an average of

Woodlawn Ball Tossers Easy Victims
WOODLAWN TEAM TIEL LPL LESS BEFORE BARON ONSL SLAUGHT

Held helpless first by Johnson and later by Harben, the youthful baseball neo- plrytes hailing from Woodlawn proved poor opponents for the Barons yester- day afternoon. and the game was as much fiasco as the preceding one with Clay. Although the score, which was 10 to O. was not as large as the one piled up Saturday, the game was just as one-sided, as the Barons did not care to exert the efforts necessary to pile up "a big score.
 Three hurlers, Baker, Tyler and Mason, were showed into the breach by the Woodlawn manager in vain attempt to stem the onslaught of the Baron slug gers, but to no avail, all of them proving an easy proposition for Molesworth's CO., horts.
 Baker pitched until the fifth inning, when Tyler relieved him. Tyler lasted only two rounds, Mason being rushed on the firing line in the seventh.
 The Barons gave Tyler a warm recep- ton when he replaced Baker. Mcbride and Bell, the first two men up, both slapped out home runs to left center, and the death knell of the young Wood lawn southpaw was sounded before he had gotten started.
 Johnson, who opened the battle for Mo- leys crew, was an enigma to the Wood lawn batters during the five innings he was on the mound not a single bingle being registered off his delivery. Har- ben, who succeeded him on the mound, proved more lenient and kindly allowed his unsophisticated opponents to make all five hits credited to them. However,

BILLIARD RESULTS

New York, March 16.--Although beaten today in the twelfth game of the national amateur billiard tournament by the for mer champion, Morris D. Brown of Brook lyn, pr. Walter E. Uffenheimer of Phila- delphia made a fine uphill fight and in his twenty-sixth inning gave beautiful exhibition of high class billiards with a run of 102.
 A two-cushion attempt with the object balls widely separated near the top proved to be the Philadelphian's undoing in his effort to exceed 105, the high run of the tourney, made last week, by Brown. The winner who represents the Hamilton club, Brooklyn, was in consistent form today and reached double figures in 13 of the 37 innings through the game ran. The score:
 Brown, 400; average, 10 30-S7: high runs. 62, A, 49
 \ uffenheimer. $50; average, 917-37; high runs 102, 37, 31.
