Mr.. Thompson says further

If am informed correctly, during the week of July
H. the naval appropriation BILL carrying the mpor-
ant changes in our which have been made for many
years. was up for final discussion . II is apparent
that he did not consider that he needed the naval
committee az Washington during that week, and if he was
not needed the naval committee during that time he
will be, and his appeal TO his constituency on the
basis OF his committee appointments apparently is without
any value"

Mr.. Thompson also seems puzzled by Senator

certain of his constituents that he was staying close
TO his post of duty at Washington, yet written
ed him as attending the meeting of the Greater

Senator Page has not denied attending

NOTIFICATION OF WILSON TO
 DRAW 10000

New York, Aug. 24-At Democratic national headquarters in this city and at the White House thousands of re- quests have been received for tickets to the Wilson notification ceremonies, which will be held at Shadow Lawn, the Presidents new summer home, at Long Branch, on Saturday, Sept 2.
 It was expected at first that per- haps 5000 might attend the ceremon- ies, but the interest has become so great that plans are now being made for an attendance of 1000 to 20,OOO. Applicants for tickets are being in- formed that no tickets are necessary and no invitations are being issued excepting to delegates to the recent St. Louis convention, members of Con- gress and a few others.
 All who are interested in President Wilson's campaign for reelection are invited to attend the ceremonies, his managers say. It is expected that there will be a great outpouring from New Jersey and large numbers are expected from New York, Pennsylva- mia and other states. Provision will be made for the comfort of all who appear.
 Plans for the notification are near ing completion. The ceremonies will begin at o'clock in the afternoon. Senator Ollie James of Kentucky, chairman of the Committee on Notii- cation. will advise the President of his nomination, and MT. Wilson will reply. These will be the only speeches.

MINOR LEAGUE
 WINNING STREAMS

When the Providence Grays won twenty straight games in the National League in 1884 record winning streak was set up which no other ma jor league club has yet equalled. In the minor circuits the Providence feat has been surpassed several times. The first club in organized baseball to beat the Grays' streak was Frank Rinn's Lancaster club in the Atlantic league. It was on Aug. "A, 1S97,i just nineteen years ago today, that, the Lancastrians rounded out a string of twenty-one consecutive victories by defeating Norfolk in the first game of a double-header. Rinn's team lost the second pastime that day, and the streak was broken. It had last ed long enough to enable Lancaster to pass Newark and obtain a strangle hold on the league leadership which was held to the end of the season. After winning the Atlantic league pennant, the Lancaster club played an exhibition game with Frank Selee's Boston club, winners of the National League gonfalon. Lancaster won by mia city then laid clai.-. to the world s championship.
 The greatest "streak" of them all was that of the Corsicana club of the Texas league in 1902, which went to twenty-seven games. The Charlotte team of the Carolina league won twenty-five straight the same year. In 1908 an Eastern OnternationaD league record of twenty-four straight games was set up by Jersey City, the cyl~ hot year. Wilkes-Barre. Pa-, in the New York State league, went twenty-three games without defeat in 1912. Aus tin, in the Texas league, had string of twenty-two victories in 1s11

BASEBALL BITS

Connie Mack's catchers have had a cuperating after an operation for ap- pendicitis and Haley is out of the game with a split finger. Schang, an ex-catcher, has also been on the hos pital list this season,
 Clark Griffith is experimenting for next season. He has benched George Mcbride and has moved Morgan to shortstop, with Foster holding down second. He had planned to use Joe Leonard at third. but the failure of Leonard to arrive caused him to use Shanks at the final turn.

 When Lambeth opposed Urban Shocker at the Polo Grounds during the recent Cleveland-New York series the visiting pitcher had won two ma jor league games and lost none, while Shocker had lost two and won none. Thirteen innings elapsed before Shock CT had won his first game as a ma- jor leaguer and Lambeth had lost one.
 Brooklyn can boast of a pitching staff that ranl ks with the best in the game from pitching standpoint. but that is not all. The Brooklyn pitch CTS are more dangerous with the stick than are any other set of boxmen in the major leagues.
 Hughie Highs batting this season Is the best that the little outfielder has shown since he came into the major leagues. He was first substi- tute outfielder at the opening of the season, but Bill Donovan would not think of benching High now.
 Since Mathewson took charge of the Reds the team has taken part in many close games, but has usually been on the losing end. The last day of the season should be very welcome to Matty.
 The Giants of 1916 will be remem- bered as the team that played in "streaks." They started off at the Polo Grounds by losing almost all their games and then went away from home and won seventeen straight, the best record ever compiled by a team away from home. During their last home stay McGraw's men were very successful and now on their last western trip they are being kicked all over the west.

consequence, buyers Of seed cotton
base their prices on the average char
