Bob Groom. once a pitcher with the
Nationals and at present drawing wages
from the St. Louis club. of the Federal
League. was a visitor at the ball game
between the Griffmen and Hickey
Browns. last Monday afternoon.
During a talk with the writer Groom
expressed the opinion that next fall or
ganized baseball would be bound to rec
ognize the Feds. and that when the 1916
season opened there would be peace in
baseball.
Personally. ] have no kick coming
declared Groom. The Feds in this town
have treated me finely. also the news
papers. 1 have pitched good ball this
season and have won the majority of my
games"
Groom throws a new light on the much
discussed subject as to why he quit the
Griffmen to join forces with the outlaws
He said:
Il would have pitched good ball for
the Nationals i'm 1915 had it not been for
a baseball writer on one of the Washing
ton afternoon newspapers. who took
great delight in bounding me. telling the
fans through his columns that | was
careless. did not have my heart in my
work and failed to watch the bases prop
erly.
Fans in the bleechers and grand stand
kept after me quoting what this writer
had said i'm his newspaper. 1t was enough
to take the heart out of any pitcher and
then they wonder why 7 was glad to get
away from the Capital That's the rea-
son I Topped more than anything else.
for If you will look over the records you
will see that in 1918 I pitched my best
games on the road. and not at home"

Fielder Jones. the old White Sox man.
ager. who since last summer has been
at the helm of the St Louis Federals.
called up Owner Hedges, OF the Browns,
Monday and said to him:
Mr.. Hedges, We have an of day and
would like to take my ball players
out to your park to see the Browns and
Washington play. How about 1t. do We
pay to get in or will you recognize us
at the gate?"
Hedges hemmed and hawed around for
a few minutes. remembering that at the
Cardinals park recently the Fed play
ers were forced to pay their way in. and
gave a sort of vague reply.
Cut out the bunk. Hedges" shouted
Jones' Tell me now whether We will
have to pay or not
"All right. bring your men out. / will
take care of them" the Mound city
magnate replied-and he did.
The St. Louis Feds occupied a box
right back OF the Washington bench and
rooted for the Nationals to win. but
you've got to hand it to Col. Bob Hedges,
a game sportsman and good fellow.

According to Ed Bang. the baseball
writer on the Cleveland News, Joe
Birmingham's days as manager of the
Cleveland club are numbered and his
removal may be expected before the
present season closes Bang claims
that Birmy has failed to deliver the
goods and that unless a pilot able to
win ball games and put the club up in
the pennant fight is obtained. the
stockholders of the local club face
big loss. Several names are mentioned
as to Birmingham's probable success
sor.
Owner Somers tonight denied the
yarn, but others who are closely con-
nected with baseball affairs in this city
declare that Bang knows whereof he
writes.
If by chance the rain does hold off
tomorrow and a ball game is possible.
Griff will pitch Jim Shaw. who will be
opposed by Guy Morton or Bill Steen.

Big Scheme on Foot.
PLANS ARE NOT KNOWN
odd Fox" Admits Big Deal Is in
Wind Which Will Have Effect
on Federal League.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Cleveland Ohio, May 20.-That there is
some well-defined scheme on foot for the
good of the American League was learn
cd today when Clark Griffith and Charlie
Somers. the last named owner Of the
Cleveland club, were closeted in Somers
office for more than two hours.
The mysterious conferences started in
Chicago. Griff being called in at a meet
ing held in Comiskey's private office
When the Nationals moved over to st.
Louis. Grit and Hedges, owner of the
Browns. met several times in executive
session. a continuance of these meetings
today makes it plain that matters OF
vital importance are being discussed by
the American League leaders.
The Old Fox admitted in St. Louis that
his talk with Hedges had something to do
with a weII-defined scheme which involv-
ed the Federal League. and whether
peace terms are being discussed or war
10 the knife pursued, cannot be learned.
These meetings are absolutely secret.
Thus far nothing has leaked out.
Typical Lake Erie rain storms eripped
the Forest City today. and there Is prom
Use of more rain tomorrow. The ball
game between the Nationals and the In
dams had to be postponed and there
is scant prospect of staging combat
tomorrow.
: Manager Griffith was able to take his
athletes out to Somers' Park shortly
after dinner. and he put them through
hard drill for about one hour. The
practice consisted mostly of batting.
Pitcher Jack Bentley. while cavorting
around first base, turned his left ankle.
and there was some talk of sending him
back to Washington. but Trainer Martin
SAYS he will have Bentley in good shape
by Saturday.
Leaky skies did not hinder the Griffmen
in their practice. and IL the game tomor-
row is called off the Washington club
will he ordered out for more work. pro-
viding the footing is not too reacherous.

a Touch of Real Spring.

True there are three more days of
February and all of March, with its
wind and sleet, but notwithstanding
that fact, it was hard matter Sunday
to convince any Garrett countian that
spring was not here.
And, at that, if it we're not spring it
should have been. There was a temper
azure that lowered about 60 degrees;
there was not cloud in the sky, which
was of that clear blue always associat-
ed with late May, and there were the
hundreds of Young, almost young and
not young on the principal thorough
fares of the county and Oakland all
wearing spring creations. Heavy over
coats. for the best part were invisible,
so far as the men were concerned, the
fashionable youth wearing light coat.
And il that wasn't spring-well.
1t happened to be the first really fine
Sunday for more than 10 weeks, and to
this fact was probably due the crowds
on the principal thoroughfares of the
county.

By directing the attention of our
readers to the advertising columns OF
The Republican today it will be noticed
that the Mayor and Council give notice
of the election to be held on Monday,
March 8th. when three members of
Council are to be elected. While three
vacancies will exist by reason of the
terms of three couacilmen expiring,
the resignation of Councilmen Deffin-
baugh, which was rendered at the last
regular meeting of the body, makes an
additional vacancy, which Council will
fill by appointment, Mr.. Defiinbaugh's
successor serving out his unexpired
term. The resignation of Mr.. Deffin-
baugh was caused by his having been
appointed postmaster. the appointment
having been confirmed on Saturday by
the Senate in executive session.

Two Deaths at Blooming Rose.

The home of our neighbOr and friend,
Quinter Hook. is place Of sadness.
Death has come in it and taken two of
his children, little boy and girl.
Measles. carried in the home, unin-
tentionally, together with colds and
Group, which developed diphtheria ac-
cording to the attending physician.
Everything was done that could be
done, but of no avail.
Floyd Milton was the first, little
over a week ago, then followed little
Bina Ellen. They were buried in
Blooming Rose cemetery to await the
coming of the Lord. Their spirits are
with Christ for He loved children while
on earth. He said, "Of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven. They cannot
come back, but they can go to them.
We extend our sympathy but it does
not relieve their broken hearts. or
soothe the anguish.
God alone can heal the wounds and if
they live according to his plan, some
"sweet" day they will meet their loved
ones in the skies with myriads of angles.

G0L0SB0RCUGH AGAIN?
His Republican Friends Are Urging
His denomination.

Republican friends of Governor
Goldsborough are beginning to discuss
his availability as a candidate to succeed
himself. At political dinner in Cum
berland IN 1918 the Governor said he
would not again be a candidate for the
high position occupied by him. How
ever, as one of his friends said yester-
day, "times change and men change
with them"
This man, who is prominent in the
state, explained that the Governor had
reached no decision as to his future
course, but he added that the Executive
had not turned deaf ear to suggestions
that he enter the party primaries to
succeed himself.
There are other Republicans anxious
to have try at the gubernatorial chair,
and one or two of these, it is believed,
would not get out of the race in favor
of the Governor under any considera-
ton One of these men is Col E. c.
Darlington, who has informed his
friends that he is in the governorship
fight just as much as he was in the
senatorial contest last year. and when
he won his nomination through the
failure of other candidates to oppose
HIM. Mr.. Darlington left for a fort
nights stay in Florida last Saturday,
but before leaving the city he reiterat-
ed his intention to be a candidate.
