DECLINES" IF"

Col. Roosevelt's answer to the
Progressive convention was read
as follows:
al am very grateful Tor the
honor you confer upon me by
nominating me as president. l
cannot accept it at. this time. l
do not know the attitude of the
candidate of the Republican
party toward the vital questions
of the day. Therefore, if you
desire an immediate decision, l
must decline the nomination.
But if you prefer it l suggest
that my conditional refusal to
run be placed in the hands of the
Progressive national committee.
If Mr.. Hughes statements when
he makes them shall satisfy the
committee that 1t is for the In
,terest of the country that he be
elected they can act accordingly
and treat my refusal as definitely
accepted.
If they are not satisfied they
can so notify the Progressive
party and at the same time they
can confer with me and then de-
termine on whatever action we
may severally deem appropriate
to meet the needs of the country.

MORAN LAYS Off.
Challenger Quits Work for the
Remainder of Week.
Trainer Lewis Feared That He
Was Getting Stale.

New York, March 10.-Just On the
ragged edge of staleness, Frank Mo-
ran has decided to cut out almost I'll
of mis- training work for four or five
days. The challenger for the title
now held by Jess Willard is too hard
worker and he was convinced of
this by Willie Lewis, his chief handler,
yesterday. Not glove will Moran
don until Saturday or Monday, the
only work scheduled for him being
long walks up through Westminster
county.
Moran is down to POI pounds, sew
eral pounds below what he should be
at this period of his work in prepara-
ton for the big mill on March %. He
expects to weigh in for the battle at
2O3 pounds and that weight will he
his best. The next few days Will be
used in putting on all the weight pos
sible, so that there will be surplus
on hand when the hard training begins
again.
GIutton for Work.
Moran has proved such glutton
for work that he can do nothing easily,
but wades in with all his might After
walk of not more than six miles to-
day Lewis intends to take his charge
to a couple of movie shows and for
long automobile rides.
While Moran is resting up, Willard
is increasing his labors- He looks
lot better today than when ne ar
rived here, but is far from his best
fighting condition. He is taking off
weight, but the process is very slow
Even after boxing half dozen hard
rounds, Willard does not sweat as pro-
fusely as the ordinary athlete. This
has been noticed by all of the experts
who daily watch the champion work
This makes it hard and slow for him
to get off the extra tonnage he is now
totlng But he says he is satisfied
with the progress he is making and so
are his handlers.
Willard Works Hard.
The champion put in a hard day
Yesterday He tapped the paths in
and around Central park with his
number 12's for five miles at good
clip and on his return to the Hotel
Colonial he put in nearly an hour at
his celebrated chair and bending ex-
erciSes.
His afternoon work at the Pioneer
Sporting club was a very good one,
and he looked better than at any time
previously. He boxed two rounds each

and Boer RodeL There was nothing

LONG FOR THE DIAMOND.
X. q. Baseball Men Are Anxious to
Begin Outdoor Practice.

Lawrence, Kan, March 10.-With
the coming of the clear weather the
Kansas baseball squad is making
preparations to get out of the gym
and have a real workout on the Nc
Cook diamond. The afternoon prac-
tees in the gym are growing de-
cidedly tireSome, and McCarty's pro-
teges are anxious to get out in the open
where they can have some real work
outs.
Some twenty candidates have been
working out for the battery jobs Nc
Carly has quite a few pitchers lined
up but none of them show any greater
speed than they had last year. Lefty
Sproul1 is the only man that worked
on the mound last year, who will not
be back, while George Since, the star
of the year before, is eligible for
Varsity competition this spring.
With Red Craig going at his pace of
last year, McCarty ought to have little
trouble with his pitching staff. Poirer,
Fischer, and Moss are the other three
men who worked in a few games last
year and are after pitching jobs again
this year.

NO MORE TRANSFORMING.
National Baseball Commission Takes
Action Against '.Winter Tours

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 10.-The
National Baseball commission has is
sued a notice approving the recent
legislation by the two major leagues
abolishing transforming trips. In it's
notice the commission says:
Adequate penalties on all major
league players who, after the promul-
cation of this notice, may engage in
games not conducted by their respec-
tive clubs will be imposed.
This action of the National and
American leagues is predicated on the
opposition of their respective clubs to
L practice that has been abused from
the standpoint of craftsmanship and
has resulted in injuries to players that
have impaired their ability and earn
ing capacity.

of strength Willard is.
His Endurance Great.
In the Havana fight I really believe
that Willard could have gone for an

been in first class condition. That is
