The Stansbury team. particularly, and
Pop Haley and Chaconas did splendid

Chaconas rolled for the King Solo

the main factor in his teams three
victories. The first game resulted in
score of 11S for Chaconas and the sec
ond and third found him getting counts
of 1872 and 1913. The total for the set
scored by Chaconas was 373. Holmes
of the Federal five led that club with
marks of 106, 116 and 10S.
The Stansbury team rolled a 1872
set. registering $50. 577 and 545 in it's
three games. The George c. Whiting

SMITH GETS CAPTAINCY.
Fullback Chosen to Lead Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich, December T.
c. c. Smith of Bay City. Mich, was
elected captain of the 1917 Michigan
foot ball team at meeting of the
fourteen letter men here yesterday.
Smith will play his third year for
Michigan next fall at fullback and will
have six other veterans about which
to build his 1917 eleven, with several
promising men coming on from the
freshman team.
Smith, Sparks and Raymond give the
Wolverines the regulars in the back
field and Martens, Weske, Wiemann
and Boyd give them a fine start on
the line. Weske was the only serious
contender for the captaincy at yester-
days election, largely because of the
fact that he is the only other eligible
player who has won two foot ball let
ters.
Raymond, who won his first "M." this
fall, received a few scattering votes.
The election took place after the an
nual squad picture was taken, with
Capt. Maulbetsch holding ball for the

John K. Tener of the National League

Last night Dreyfuss bitterly resented the
inaction of the national commission re-

that they would like to have certain
players. Dreyfuss says it is done to make
the players restless. He particularly
mentioned John McGraw in his attitude
to Al Mamaux and President Weeghman
of Chicago in saying he wanted some of

Dreyfuss wants the commission to pc

like any player that is under contract to
another club. He asserted he had never
been guilty Of that kind Of thing.

Some of the magnates have an idea that
the use of the spit ball should be pro-
hibited. They insist that the pitchers al
ready have a tremendous advantage over
ithe batsmen without resorting to artifi-
-cial methods. The spit ball has been pro-
-nounced insanitary and disgusting. 1t has
been known to ruin the arms of some of
the best pitchers, including Ed Walsh
and Jack Chesbro, both of whom had to
rely on the splitter for their effectiveness.
= The wet ball has caused numerous field
ing errors that have been costly. The rule
makers two years ago abolished the
emery ball, which helped Russell Ford,
Ray Keating and other prominent pitch
-ers to become unusually effective. The
foul-strike rule has made pitching against
heavy hitters comparatively easy. The
fans prefer heavy hitting to box work
Hence the demand for reform in the

to depend entirely on their natural skill

.BIGAMIST TAKEN TO PEN
ON ONE YEARS SENTENCE

Lee Long was taken to the peni-
tertiary at Florence last Saturday by
Deputy Sheriff Charles Murray, to
serve out his one year sentence for
bigamy. Aside from the years SEN
tence he was fined $25 by Judge Per-
kins.
Long has made Flagstaff his home
for several months and during that
time married Miss Beulah Johnson, a
Phoenix girl. Through the Coconino
Sun, away down in South Carolina,
Mr.. Hughes, prosperous business
man and a brother-in-law of Longs,
heard of the second marriage at
Flagstaff and came here to investi-
gate. Within a week or more, Long
was located in California and brought
back to Flagstaff to answer to the
charge of bigamy. He pied guilty
before Judge Harrington and waived
examination. His plea was that he
thought his first wife had died. How
ever, according to Mr.. Hughes, the
brother-in-law, Long was fully aware
that his first wife was living and that
Long had left her after having spent
all the money she had received from
her fathers estate. She was young
girl barely of age when she married
Long and he deserted her as soon as
her money was gone. Long was a
carpenter by trade and had gone
with his second wife to Fresno where
he was captured and the wife discov,
cred how she had been deceived.

1t is frequently remarked with
qualification by Republican leaders
that there is not the slightest anita
gonism among the aspirants for the
presidential nomination at Chicago.
Nothing unkind is being said by one
aspirant or his friends against any
other candidate. As consequence,
all the defeated aspirants will find it
perfectly easy to fall in line in sup
port of the nominee. There will be
no hard feelings against the winner
no adverse criticisms for the losing
candidates to regret. There has not
been in 20 years campaign so free
from personalities as this. All of
which is discouraging to the Demo-
Gratis, for they realize that they won
through Republican dissension in 1912
and stand little chance in 1916
against solid party.
