Loss of Strength Slight.

Boston's loss OF strength Is slight.
and is due to Evers' frequent and
prolonged absences from the lineup
enforced and otherwise. Eyers is
sunering from nerves, as well as
from the same trouble that the dog
died Or bad name. He can do less
and get punished more severely than
any player In the league, and he re-
sents 1t. There Is a feud between
Evers and President Tener, and this
sea5on Evers has not a Jim Gaffney
10 DEFEND him. BY the way, there is
a really good story for any Boston
words and the charges he made
retains enough interest in the Braves
to accent II a bit now
The Braves are, still the class Of
the league. They have the punch
and spirit, and the gameness-even
though they waste a lot OF II fghting
among themselves. They have been
having bad breaks and have lost
more than the average number OF
hard luck games. A team that gets
nosed out of five games in three
weeks on fiuke hits Is not receiving
the breaks. The outfeld Is not as
strong as IL was doped to be before
the season started. and has been mill
ing around considerably and hitting
by streaks instead of regularly. but,
when the pinch comes. the Braves
can be relied upon to outgame Brook
lyn and beat them and the luck COM
bined.
Brooklyn is not In false pQsition.

G.O.P.CLUB PLANS
1920 CAMPAIGN
Hilles Deplores Breaking
of Party Lines-Outlines
Next Fight

The basic plans of a fouryears Re
publican campaign, the aim Of which
will be the election Of Republican
President in 1920, were discussed by
speakers last night at an informal DIN
ner of the Republican Club OF New
York.
The gradual breaking down Of party
lines was deplored by all speakers
while Charles D. Hilles, former ma
tional chairman, outlined three plans
which he thought should be pursued
These were;
First-The perfccting Of a strong
state organization, through the cleo
ton of Aldermen, members Of the Leg
islature and county officials.
Second-The calling Of Republican
conference in Washington within the
next two months, to be attended ny
representatives Of Republican clubs
and state committees from all over the
country.
Third The holding of a series Of
meetings in the New York club. at
which all public questions, especially
the policies being pursued by the Dem
ocratic Administration. shall be dis

Weeks Attacks Primaries
Senator John W. Weeks. Of Massa-
chusetts. attacked primary elections
expressed strong dissatisfaction with
the present methods of financing ma
tional campaign. and recommended a
different method of selecting the ma
tional chairman.
The present method. he declared. is
one that no good business man would
pursue and one which might result IN
the selection OF a competent man or an
incompetent one. as the chance might
be lie suggested that the only safe
and sane manner of selecting natl onal
chairman Is TO have the national com
mittee composed Of the chairmen Of
the state committees and the chairman
elected by themselves from among
their number
Senator Weeks deplorcd the TACT
that party government has been break
ing away from its moorings until it has
almost lOSl tHt NiStiHANIVh htt" ~ TO ~
islative and executive bodies. lie said
both executives and legislators were
too prone to act and vote independent
Of parties and without consulting lead
ers in and out of Congress.
This. he said, was the breaking down
Of representative government IN favor
Of personal government and should be
fought stubbornly.
Lack of Team Work
Mr.. Hilles speaking Of the lack Of
team work in the Republican party,
said that five Republican Senators
failed to vote with the party on "a presi-
dent pro TEN. last week.
Senator Weeks declared il was un-
fair TO pass judgment on these Sena-
tors, as no Republican caucus had been
called.
