Getting Together.

In spite of the fact that the Pro-
gressive party of Maine, at its con-
ference in Portland last week, re-
PEELED the overtures of the Republi-
can State committee for get to-

gether is going on beneath the sur
face Just the same. 1t is a movement
beyond the control of party organiza-
tions. Just as was the getting apart.
The action of the Progressive lead
ers means that we must Tor While

If these men could be convinced
that the Republican leaders are SIN

in many of the principles advanced
by the Progressive party; in other

Every day or two the Waterville
Sentinel or one of the other Demo-
cratic organs settles the course of the
Republican party-what it is going to
do and what it will not do. 1t has
been remarked for years that these
papers seem possessed to commit
themselves early so that the public
may have opportunity for comparison
with results to size up their (said
papers) thinking caps. The proc
lamations of these Democratic experts
always hit SO wide of the mark as to
make Democratic prophecy" a by
phrase. The Sentinel now says:
1T is safe to assume that the Republi-
cans will not carry their prohibition
theory to its logical conclusion. They
will continue to denounce liquor selling
as the crime of crimes but they will not
advocate making the accessory to the
crime of crimes guilty with the principal

Vols Rely on Browns for Help
Schwartz May PlayFirSt Again

n NASHVILLE, TENN, March t.
N The mysterious paper team
for this season about which
Bill Schwartz has been talking in
stage whispers is no longer puzzling
to the baseball bugs in Vol Town. 1t
will be built up of cast-offs secured
from the St. Louis Browns, and that
is the explanation of the fight of
Schwartz from the Mobile meeting to
st. Petersburg, Fla, where the Amer
lean League tail-enders are just now
in training.
Bill and Branch Hickey formed a
sort of Damon and Pythias friendship
last fall, after the former Michigan
College man was placed at the head
of President Hedges team, and Rick
ey has promised to sell some players
to the Vols after the wedding -out
process commences. Hickey took a
great fancy to Schwartz because the
Vol pilot was so highly recommended
by Hurry Up" Yost, the Michigan
coach, who is one of Rickey's old
pals, and he urged Branch to help
Bill out in the race for the bunting IN
the Kavanaugh league. Under the
Shropshire regime the Vol moguls
promise TO part with large wads Of
regular money this season in order to
put out a flag contender, and after
Montgomery, who has working
agreement with the Browns, Bill and
Branch may be able to pull off several
deals which will give Schwartz some
high-grade recruits to work with.
LIE has been working out with the
Browns down In the hot Florida
sunshine for the past two weeks with
Rickey's crew, and it may serve
useful purpose after all, for it looks
as If there is a bare chance that BIZ
will have to again don the spangies
and hold down first base. Between
Artie Hoffman jumping to the Fed
erals and the Vols claim on Wilbur
Kraft held up by Portland,
Schwartz's plans for the first station
are pretty well up In the air. Bill fig
ured that II would be neat to have
Kraft returned from Brooklyn with
Daubert having a copper -riveted
clnch on first base, but when the
DCN6OAo SUI iCduy W turn the lOtIleT
Pelican back Portland horned in aud
held up the player on whom Schwartz
had his heart set and around whom
he had built his 1914 club.
Schwartz does not believe that
Portland's claim will hold even under
the new ruling handed down by the
National Commission on the draf;
ing rules. He argues that the rule
was simply intended to prevent rail
reading of veteran major leaguers to
the minors, and writes back that he
is not at ali worried over the situa-
ton. Just the same he keeps on prac-
ticing around first base in st. Pc
tersburg, and may have to retract the
famous Sarah Bernhard speech he
made at the close of last season,
when he swore by all the gods that he
