OUT OF IT'S OWN MOUTH.

The Baltimore Sun is Just now. for
purely partisan purposes as a party
organ, engaged i'll pleading with the
people of Maryland to believe and
trust the Democratic Machines prom
Uses to be good and to put a stop to
its former wasteful extravaganza and
political graft. No attempt is made
to deny that their record is rotten to
the core-the Suns own columns have
contained many admissions to that
effect. But just at present the Sun is
engaged in asking why we shouldn't
believe these old Democratic Machine
politicians when they come before us,
on the eve of election, and shaking in
their shoes, beg US to Understand that
if we will forget their past they will
do better in the future.
Now we ask permission to reverse
the way of putting the question. We
want to inquire, in the name of COM
mon sense, why SHOULD we believe
them? Have they ever kept such
promises before? They have made
them, often and profusely. Have they
ever kept them?
Let US take the latest opportunity
the people of this State have had to
test the sincerity and honesty of this
old Machines promises to be good.
They came up to the very last Legis-
lature with their mouths full of SOL
emn promises to retrench and econo-
mize. What did they do? Why. they
cut loose with such a shameless raid
on the treasury, such a disgusting
loading up of the pay rolls with use
less employees for political purposes,
that this same Baltimore Sun said it
was nothing in the world but plain
stealing" We want our readers to
know that we are quoting from the
Suns own columns. We turn to the
editorial columns of this same Balti-
more Sun in January, 1914 and from
those columns reprint the following
words
This is blunt and apparently
harsh way Of designating what the
House of Delegates is doing in the
employment of unnecessary officials,
but It is the simple truth, and there
is no reason why we should call by
a ~enteel name that which we send
people to the penitentiary for every
cay in private life. What the House
has done is to take the States
money-that is, the money Of their
constituents for which the delegates
are trustees-and give it away to
Tom, Dick and Harry in payment
for personal or political debts, If
this isn't morally larceny. what is
it,"
And the same paper, which said
year or SO ago, that these old Demo
cratic Machine politicians were doing
things ''for which we send people to
the penitentiary every day in private
life" is the same paper which is now
asking us to send them-not to the
penitentiarv-but to high public Of

THE SUN NOT SHINING.

Undoubtedly the most humiliating
argument ever made by a political
party in a campaign is the one the
Baltimore Sun is working to "fraz-
zle" almost every day in its editorial
columns, and which Mr.. Harrington
has appropriated and is using in his
speeches, that as the next Legislature
is almost certain to be Democratic.
Mr.. Weller should not be elected Gov
ernor, as it would be impossible for
him to accomplish anything in the way
of economy or reform with a hostile
Legislature. Acknowledging and con-
Tossing that the outraged taxpayers
of the State can hope for no relief
from a Democratic Senate and House
of Delegates. What stronger and
more convincing argument could be
given to the voters of Maryland for
not only the election of Weller, Duer
and Doub, but for the election of
Republican Senate and House of Dele

Editor of WING,
Dear Sir:-Fred H. Letter, of Elk
ton. is writing around this county ask
ing the voters to send him back to the
Legislature. Now, Letter was in the
last Legislature and got H. Eugene
Mackie a place as Clerk to the Print
ing Committee. Your paper showed
that Mackie got 5000 for the job. Now,
everybody knows Mackie could not do
anything as clerk worth that money.
Everybody knows that he didn't do
anything at all, to amount to any,
thing, and then got 5000 for it. Mr..
Letter wrote me letter saying he
was always against squandering the
peoples money. Does this Mackie
business look like it? They say Lef-
fler has promised Mackie the same
job next winter, if he is elected and
that is why Mackie worked so hard

It has remained for Frederick H.
LETTER Democratic candidate for the
Legislature, to furnish the real full
sized campaign joke in the present
battle. 1t seems that Mr.. Letter has
been sending broadcast throughout
the county personal letters to the vot-
ers soliciting their support, on the
ground that in the last Legislature he
was instrumental in saving the State
some twenty thousand dollars. No
wonder folks are laughing. 1t is one
of those jokes that call for an explos-

Tom Shevlin Tells Yale Men About
Minnesota Play.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,. November g.
Otis Guernsey went to fullback and
Claude to left guard yesterday, replac-
ing Nal Scovil and Dick Kent in the
Yale foot ball lineup. Scovil may en-
ter Saturdays game, but his injured
thumb was SO painful that he was kept
from the hours signal rehearsal.
Church. who surprised the coaches by
his defense play at left end, retained
the place. although the veteran Higgin-
botham returned to practice.
The Yale coaches have decided upon
two days of scrimmaging this week, a
short bout being ordered for today and
the longest practice of the week for
tomorrow. Three positions in the line
up-left end, left tackle and quarter
back-will not be decided upon until
late this week
Tom Shevlin lectured the players on
their mistakes in Saturdays game and
explained his Minnesota shift. on
which Yale's attack will be based
against Princeton.
Yale men have been unable to cover
the Princeton money which is already
here. freely offered at odds of to 3
against Yale.
Yale has declined to follow Prince
tons lead in numbering the players
during the games against Princeton
and Harvard, much to the disappoint-
ment of the home crowd. The Yale
coaches feel that wearing the num-
bers allows opposing players to break
up an attack readily.

WILL WATCH YALE PLAY.
Several Harvard Stars to Witness
Bulldog-Tiger Battle.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November g.
The varsity foot ballers who bore the
brunt of Saturdays bitterly fought
struggle with the Tigers were warned
yesterday to keep away from the sta
dium. There were, however, two men
who assisted at the slaughtering of the
Tigers who showed up for work and
were put through as hard a course of
sprouts as the remainder of the varsity
squad. Weatherhead played end for
short time Saturday, and Mckinlock
subbed for King in the last two min
utes of play. Both men scrimmaged
with team against team c, the tussle
ending in a scoreless tie.
The practice opened with black
board talk, with the Brown formations
being given the most attention. The
game with the Brunonians for at least
two seasons has given Coach Haughton
an opportunity to start his subs and
take the regular players. or at least
part of them, to watch Yale meet
Princeton.
Browns victory over Yale Saturday
has caused a difference of opinion as to
whether it would be wise to take the
regular team to New Haven Saturday
or only tote along several of the play
ers, Some of the coaches think that
the Crimson's excess foot ball baggage
can take care of the Brown team, and
consequently all the varsity eleven
could in safety take in Saturdays game
in the bowl.
At any rate, a team generously sprin
killed. with subs will face the Providence
collegians, and included in the onlook-
ers at the Yale-Princton game will be
Capt. Eddie Mahan, Quarterback Don
Watson, Tackle Joe Gilman and prob
ably Center Don Wallace and Halfback

MINOR LEAGUERS READY.
Have Many Base Ball Problems to
Settle in Annual Meeting.

SAN FRANCISCO. November g.
Base ball men from all parts of the
country arrived yesterday and last
night to attend the annual meeting of
the National Association of Profess
sional Base Ball Clubs. at which many
of the problems incident to minor
base ball will be threshed out.
The adjustment of certain territorial
rights is one of the principal matters
to be considered.
r Delegates of the Texas League, one
of the strongest of the class B organi-
cations, have planned a contest to OBJ
tain more liberal drafting considera-
tions for leagues of that class.
They claim that after leagues of
class AA and A caliber have finished
drawing from the class c and d Or
ganizations the class B clubs are forced
to take what is left. That, it is con-
tended, is not fair, inasmuch as the
class B organizations pay the same
draft prices al do the leagues of higher
classification.
preliminary meeting of the board
of arbitration was held last evening
on a train between Sacramento and
San Francisco.
The train. bearing many delegates,
was delayed by a storm.

SEEKING POE'S BODY.

can legation in France and who was a.
ciassmate at college with John Prem

MS body and have it sent to Baltimore
Tor burial. The same appeal has been
made to the American ambassadors in
London and Paris.
SO far no information outside of the
mere fact that Mr.. Poe was killed in
action has been received by his family.

SPEEDY RUSH CHEERED.
Princeton Undergraduates Welcome
Coach Upon Return.

PRINCETON. n. j.. November g.
The Princeton foot ball team received a
rousing reception yesterday. Almost
the entire undergraduate body turned
out in a parade to the station and met
the men upon their return from Allan
tic City. Cheer after cheer was given
as the depressed team left the train.
and a wild cry of praise greeted Speedy
Rush.
The testimonial to Rush was genuine.
Regardless of the defeat by Harvard
the undergraduates realize that their
coach had nodded together team
which has displayed more knowledge,
training and ability than any eleven
in recent years, and they believe that
Princeton now has foot ball system
which, with proper support, will lead
to championships.

NAVY TRIES OUT NEW PLAYS.
Won Heimburg Back in the Game
at Naval Academy.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. November s.-Ths
Naval Academy squad devoted yester-
day afternoon to signals and forma
ton practice. including the trying ont
OF several new plays which looked
promising. Won Heimburg. the fourth
classmap who had begun to do some
good putting and running, was back in
the game after a vacation of a week.
Won Heimburg injured his teeth and
lips. and while it was painful. his play
ing viii -:"t be handicapped Capt.
Miles was on the field in uniform. aud
it is now thought that his injuries will
not keep him out of the game as long
as had been feared. The Navy people
believe that the team is improving
slowly, but that it will have itself to-
gether soon and play much stronger
game. Craig, Vail, Davis and Won
Heimbure were in the backfeld yester-
day afternoon. There is special satis-
faction over the good work of Davis
in Saturdays game. and il is felt that
he will make strong running mate
for Martin, who has been called upon
to do most of the carrying.

GRIFFITH IS NOT WORRYING
OVER JOE GEDEON'S JUMP
Has Heard Nothing From In6elder Lately.
Has Not Talked Deals Nor Picked
Training Camp

OF the greatest harms the advent of tho
Federal League brought about.
In the halcyon days of organized
base ball. mutual benefit was expert
enced because of the generous spirit
shown by the major circuits. The two
big leagues paid fancy prices to the
smaller operators for promising play
ers. They frequently turned back at
easy terms those players who failed to
make good in fast company. The en-
suing war ruined this market. on which
the minors had to depend for a liveli-
hood.
The little leagues have displayed
great gameness during the past two
years of warfare. but a year ago the
minors were much better off financially
than they are today. and at their meet
ing in Frisco some very important mat
ters will come up for consideration.
The Base Ball Magazine in its De-
cember issue will print its pick of an
all-American all-Star team. which in
includes Walter Johnson and other
American League players. The johnson
circuit has six of the ten players
named, the National four.
Here is the team. with a record of the
players so far as hitting is concerned:

BORIS KOSTICS IS HERE.
Will Play Chess at W. c. and w

Boris Kostics. the Serbian master and

one of his famous exhibitions in the

for board at ordinary simultaneous

Mr. Kostics has just come from
Georgetown, KY, the home of former

walter. where he defeated the veteran
American master by the overwhelming
score of to .. This will give some
idea of the young Serbian's remarkable
ability, as Showalter's record is second

Sdoets were eased up in their
"orh yesterday afternoon. The var
sity players who participated in the
srueilng struggle with Notre Dana
last saturday were sent out on a brisk
NIKE through the mountains with
trainer Tuthill and the coaches. and
the balance of the squad went through
hght practice on the plains.
Inc cadets are not in the least dis
couraged by Saturdays defeat.

and one that it was no disgrace to be-
beaten by. Hudnutt. Ford and Neyland
are bruised SO that they may not be

otherwise the team is in good spirits

1t is but natural that the men who
have been putting up the money for the
league are tired of being Identified
with a losing venture, and If they can
the hole by buying into organized base
ball they are pretty apt to make
move in that direction.
The report that Joe Gedeon has sign
ed two-year contract with the New
ark Federal League club comes in
dispatch from Frisco. where the former
National is wintering.
That Gedeon balked on proposition
he got from Manager Griffith this fall
has been rumored and denied, but such
no doubt has been the case If it is true
that Gedeon has jumped to the Feds. :.
Gedeon had an exceptionally good
year with the Salt Lake City club dur
position to know contend that the
Coast League is decidedly weak and
that the fact that player makes a
good showing in that company does
not assure his success in fast company.
Gedeon would have to show 100 per
cent improvement over the form he
displayed while member OF the local
team in order to warrant considera-
tion as member of next years squad.
Jess Willard is setting rather high
figure to get him back in the ring. He
is said to have demanded a purse large
gardless of who his opponent may be.
There may be a way to make this
possible, but there are so few places
where a heavyweight championship
fight can be pulled off that the pro-
moters will hesitate a long while be-
fore acceding to the champions de-
mands. In fact. about the only place
where a big fight could be successfully
conducted is down in Cuba. and 1t
would be taking long chance to make
an eXorbitant guarantee even there.

BY H. c. BYRD.

Princeton, which meets Yale in the
most important gridiron contest sched-
uled this week, has won but once from
that team since 1903. The only victory
credited to the Tigers in the twelve
year period is that won in 1911, when
Sam White picked up a tumble and
raced three-fourths the length of the
field for a touchdown. Yale kicked
field goal
That Princeton stands the best chance
in a long time to win from the Dark
Blue is not saying. that it will by any
means: it also was favored to defeat
Harvard But Yale will have to play
whole lot better foot ball than it has
shown in any of the contests in which
il has appeared to win from the Tigers
The Dark Blue has potential strength.
according to those in close touch with
affairs at New Haven, and there is
every reason to believe it will be
much more accomplished combination
which faces Princeton than that which
has lost to several of the secondary
colleges.
Shevlin is in charge at Yale, and his
work has been such in past years as to
indicate that he will be able to bring
the Dark Blue up to much higher
standard than in the past part or the
season Shevlin several years ago
worked a metamorphosis ct Yale and
the undergraduates are expecting some
such similar results now. 1t looks al
most impossible for any man to pull
Yale up to a point where 1t can defeat
Princeton, simply because its showing
has been so much worse than that OF
the Tigers that the standard of foot
ball must have been considerably lower
in almost every department OF play.
But Princeton, while it must be consid-
cred the favorite on it's general show
ing. had better not contemplate too
easy task.
