labeled the best soUthpaw Of the
game his team usually finished down
around the kneecaps of the league,
due to no fault of Rucker. Now, ag-
ing and near the end of the path,
Nap had his chance. The game was
gone, Boston may have been easing
up in it's attack, but Rucker showed
some of the younger pitchers of the
game how to substitute cunning for
muscle. His slow ball came up like
a watermelon, caught the batters off
balance and fooled them completely.
Three men whitfield, one hit safely,
but no score threatened.
Home runs are the bane of RUDE
Marquard's existence. In the worlds
series of 1911, when RUDE was pitch
ing for the Giants, Frank Baker belt
ed the right-feld pavilion at the Polo
Grounds and broke the Rube's heart
when he seemed to have the Mack
men on the run. The same actors put
on the same show in 1913.
And now, three years later, along
comes Larry Gardner and sOaks one
to the far reaches of the park with
two men on, giving the Red Sox
enough runs to win the game. Throw
out these home runs Of Baker and
Gardner and Vanguard would have
a worlds series pitching record be-
yond all compare.
And note that these home-run
clouts were made by left-handed bat
tiers against southpaw pitching, a
combination not usually regarded as
productive for the attacking wing.

A REGENERATEo DEMOCRACY

regeneration of Idaho democracy
took place at Boise last Tuesday when
the Eleder faction lost control of the
party machinery after an unbroken
reign of IA years. In the re-organiza-
ton of the state committee DR.. w. R..
hamilton of Weise was elected chair
man over D. S. Pence, who represent
ed the flower and fruitage of the Elder
system. 1t is stated that Pence had
by telegraph gathered a bunch of
proxies from various disinterested
county central committeeman and had
enough to control the convention but
the convention ruled that no proxy
would be recognized unless held by
some person from the county claimed
to represent the proxy. This ruling
was the string that tripped Mr.. Pence
and threw him hard.
After the fight for organization and
electionof chairman had been finished
the committe completed it's organiza.
ton by the selection of James H. Haw-
ley, jr., as secretary and W. V. Regan
of Boise as treasurer.
