RARLIN. Texas, March 29.-Jeff
NJ Tesreau is expected to have the
\ 4 best year he ever has pitched.
-OIe Reliable Matty" is Of course A
mainstay, and RUDE Marquard SAYS he
feels better than he ever did before.
Counting that way. McGraw has three
regulars on whom he can depend For
his fourth first string pitcher, he looks
to PerTitt Schauer or Palmero
The three seem to have an even
chance TO break in with the three regu-
lars and make up the harmonious quar-
tette. PerrItt did well with the Car
dinals. Schauer showed some class in a
few games in which he played with the
Giants last autumn, and Emiliano Pal
nero has been creating all kinds Of
records in the flinging art The winter
has been a good one Cor the Cuban who
has been playing BAH in Havana
OF course Art Fromme will always be
on the side lines to 90 to the mound
after the pitcher has been derricked TO
make way for a pinch hitter. And of
course there are dozen more recruities
who are fighting for a regular Job in
the box However, the three whose pic
lures are shown seem TO be the best
OF the boiling, with Pol Perritt holding
the edge on the other two.

CONTESTEES GET
COURT DECISION
IN COUNTY SEAT CON-
TEST
BEFORE JUDGE G. R. HAYNIE
Contestants Immediately APP
peal Case and Expect
To Win.

The county seat contest, which
has been on trial before Judge
Haynie for the past week, was de-
clded Wednesday in favor Of the
contoStees, and the contestants
at once filed a motion for q new
hearing, which was overruled. An
appeal was prayed to the supreme
court and granted ninety days in
which to file a bill of exceptions.
The court, in rendering its
opinion, gave brief history of
the case, commencing with the
petition filed in the court asking
for an election and coming on
down to the trial in the case.
The court held that there were
only 1899 legal voters in DeRoan
township, while PA votes were
polled there, and mentioned the
fact that the poll books, tally
sheets and judges certificates had
been stolen, which he denounced
as an outrage and a disgrace, but
at the same time said the court
is powerless to correct it."
1t was conclusively shown by
evidence introduced that the con-
testants had asked the privilege
of examining and copying the
poll books when first filed with
the county clerk; that this was
refused by the commissioners,
two of whom, it was shown, were
strong partisans of Hope; that
the county court was asked for an
order for the poll books to be in
spected, which was refused. The
contestants then asked the Cir
cult court for an order allowing
them to inspect the poll books in
the hands of the election commits
sioners, which order was granted
by the circuit Judge in vacation.
The conteSteeS refused to allow
an inspection under this order

which was refused, and the con-

to have had the poll books stolen

by the evidence that these poll

commissioners, but the following
