WINNING STREAK OF GIANTS WITHIN
 SEVEN OF RECORD


 New York, May 24- The Giants winning streak of 12 straight games places them well along the road to threaten the major league, record for consecutive games won. In the mod ern game, the record is held by the Chicago White Sox with 19 straight games won, under Fielder Jones in 1906- That club was known as the 'HitIess5 Wonders because, although winning the Anerican league pennant and the Worlds Series, the team de- pended entirely on it's pitchers among whom were Ed Walsh, Smith and Doc White.
 The New York Giants. with Mathew son the main stay in the box, made a great record for consecutive games in 1905, when they won 8 in row.
 The old record for consecutive games won was made back in 1884 un- der the former rules. when the Pro1i- dence club won 20 in a row. A few seasons ago, the Washington club won 6 games in succession.
 One feature about the Giants pres ent' showing which is encouraging is that they have won their 12 straight games the road.

COLONEL FRED TO

Some of the politicians in the East tEnd are planning to attend every per 5 4ormance of the Twelfth District club b's. carnival next week in order<to Eget a line on Colonel Fred, the horse kts one of the feature attractions of k&he Dornan 6 Krause shows, which will Iprovdde the entertainment pro- gram for the carnival. He can add, subtract and multiply and some of k4he East End vote getters expect to
 obtain from the exhibition valuable
 hints on how to figure out the election results in a hurry.
 But Colonel Fred does not conf1ne
 Enis abilities to such prosaic things as figures. He can manipulate the cash sregister. make change and perhaps Ehold out few dollars on the boss if tnobody Is looking By an arrange lment of letters hung on 8 board he Espe1ls any word suggested by the au- IAience. Those vaudeville fans who thought ftrained seals were the only ones who

 The carnival starts next Monday at Nef1eld park and continues the en- Fx1re week.

BAKER MAY LAY
 OFF BECAUSE OF
 LAMENESS OF LEG

New York, May 24-Judging from an interview that Bill Donovan gave some Syracuse reporters last Sunday 1t may not be surprising to see Frank Baker missing from the Yankee line up some of these fine days. In this interview Bill said 0''Bakes had trou- b1e with one of-his pins, and that the club physician has ordered Baker to lay off. Baker, however, has steadily refused, and the physician in formed the club officers that it was simply necessary that the star third sacker take a rest. In the Donovan interview. Bill said Baker would be ordered to lay off, and that he would play Baumann at third.
 Whether Bill merely gave the Syra- cuse reporters a little saIve because Baker did not appear in the Yankee lineup in the exhibition game last Sunday, or whether Baker really will be forced to take a vacation remains to be seen. During this rainy spell Frank has had a. lot of esting. Dur ing the last nine days, Frank has been asked to play only four games. 7 The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad is in the market for 25 large locomotives

RED SOX PLAYERS HAVE NO PEP WITH
 SPEAKER MISSING

Of course, it is quite natural for fans to start wondering when a champion ship ball club like the Red Sox con- tinues to lose games. Such perform ances start talk, and the latest in baseball circles is that there are many m embers of the red hosed nine who are sore at heart over the departure of Speaker and blame Bill Carr1gan and not Lannin for his departure from their team.
 This. souf1ds absurd to the close fol- lowers in baseball, and yet it may hold water if put to an acid test If it is true, then the fans can easily account for the shortage of pep displayed by the worlds champs. The loss of Speaker has chipped off a lot of bril- liancy from the Sox machine, in fact his wonderful batting right now would have had the Sox fighting for the lead. With the famous southerner in their ranks the Sox were always keyed up and inspired to do things, because he was about he only member of the team who displayed that aggressiveness that helps a, ball club.
 The stso say'' of the fans is that with Speaker gone, certain members of the Iannin crew are in a Respondent mood because they believe that with out him they cannot repeat They have tried, it is true. to come back, but the general husthng spirit has been lacking. The string of defeats handed them recently has helped to make matters worse, and in turn it is said made certain players place the responsibility of Speakers sale upon the shoulders of their manager.
 There is no doubt but that Carrigan could have kept Speaker, and what is more, there is not the slightest bit T7O hal hal he could get along without him. Had the Sox continued to win and their pitchers showed 1915 form, they would have been up there just the same, but the reverse English has been put on the whole deal and the conn pIexion of the team has changed en- tirely.
 It looks as if Bill is either going to be hero or a shero. If he repeats, he will be 1auded to the sky. If he fails he will get the same old criticism that has been dished out to other man agers who failed. His job is about the most distastefu1 one in baseball today.

SACK DILLON AND MORAN MAY TAKE

New York, May 24.-Unless some promoter comes hurried1y with an of

 According to a well-informed source, lEIarry Pollok, who has been trying to match Moran to box at his club in lTWashington Park, held only a ten-day option on the services of Jack Dillon, and this option expired four days ago. If this is true, then O'Rourke will only have to give Dillon the same terms he EswouId have received from Pollok in order to cIinch the match.

CLEVELAND SIGNS
 PITCHER WHALE
 TO HELP BOXMEN

Philadelphia, May 24-Pitcher Marty McHale, who was released by the Bos- ton Americans several days ago, yes terday signed with the Cleveland club McHaIe who is right-hander, re- ceived his unconditional release from the New York Americans last winter and was signed by the Red Sox. He asserted that the Boston club had not given him a fair chance.
 McHale has moved about quite a bit. After graduation from the Uni versity of Maine he was with the Red Sox and then came to the Yankees He was farmed out to Jersey City, came back to the Tanks, and last win ter was sent to Kansas City. He de- clined to go there and the New York club consented to let him out uncondi- tionally, when the Red Sox came to terms with him.

' Cincinnati, May 24-Big Six, the Ihero of many similar occasions, came Ito the rescue of McGraw's hustling Giants. yesterday afternoon and en- abled the pennant chasers from Gotham to make it 12 straight by talk ing the second game Of the series from Herzog's Red Legs. The score was to 3. z Ss

He f1oundered further into the mire in the final session. and McGraw rushed big Jeff Tesreau to the rescue. Jem proved about as effective as Rube. After the Ozark twirler had pitched to one man.. who hit safely and scored g. runner, McGraw played his ace and rushed Matty. to the cen- Ire of the battle-ground.
 TO say that the Old Master re- eponded to the needs of the occasion would be putting it mildly. When 11afty took his place on the mound he found Wingo on first and Louden on third. As the proper solution of the vexing situation he coaxed Groh into a grounder to Fletcher, who nailed -Leuden at the plate. Groh stole second, but Clarence Mitchell, a, pinch hitter of renown. popped one up for an easy third and final out

HARTFORD DECIDES NOT

IO b. Ill. B. bO4o
 The Hartford High school boys have reconsidered their determina- ton to sever athletic relations with Bridgeport High school because of trouble at last Saturdays baseball game. According to the Hartford Courant this morning those who talk ed about dropping Bridgeport High had mo authority to take any action but were merely voicing their own opinions. The Hartford school off cials will sch eduIe contests with the local institution and steps will be taken to have the proper faculty su- pervision. This will prevent dis putes.
 Meantime J. M. Kicker, supervisor of athletics at Bridgeport High, has been paying his respects to Coach George Brick1ey of Hartford High. He says the Trinity college star made the proper man. to have charge of athletics. He declares BricIk1ey vio- lated the rules by rushing on the field to dispute decisions during last Sat- urday's game.
 The answer has finally been found for the mysterious disappearance of Bridgeport club. The twir1er wrote to Manager Ball to say that he had gone to his home in Barton, Md, for a few days after Toronto notified him he was to be farmed. The letter was written Monday and Dye said he would be here by Thursday. If he arrives he may be used in the second game of the Springfield series, which takes place at Newfield park tomor- row. Otherwise the job will fall to Bill Martin or Johnny Reiger.

WHITE SOx BOSS SAYS

 Chicago, I 84aYs 24+4-t.The boys are Roo eager to win,'' said Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, yesterday. in denying the story that he proposed to change managers
 There is nothing the matter with fine team, as team, and they will round into shape soon. Of course, if the team keeps on sIumping, I shall have to make some changes. But have not determined upon what they will be as yet.
 Manager Rowland is all right and present conditions are not his fault at all. The team is just over-anx- 1ous- They don't wait 'ern out Nat .uraIly. if I can improve the team in any way by trades or by buying play CTS, I will do it. Any owner would.''

Dave Robertson is one of the sur prises of the season. When the Giants reported at Marlin it was believed that Robertson, because of a surgical | operation, never would never play ball again.
 | Bennfe Kauff, while playing good ball, has learned that there are other big hitters besides Ty NCobb-Burns and Robertson, for instance. Kauff, however. is doing his share to help the Giants to the front. | If Fielder Jones had discarded the Feds and had taken over Branch Rickey's team entire the Browns probably would have made a better showing.
 The great crowds at the major league games all over the country in dicate a feeling of relief that the Feds have gone under. Bancroft, the Phi11ies' great short stop, is back in harness after nursing an injury that at first was believed to be serious.
 l Connie Mack has picked up three l young stars in Pitcher Myers, Catcher Meyer and Shortstop Witt. He will soon uncover another in Sec Ond BaSeman Lowry or the University of Maine.
 Philadelphia American League fans are coming back to the Athletics Nearly It 900 persons saw the Mack men buried by the White Sox at Shibes park on Saturday. This was the largest crowd at Macl's ball yard in four years. exclusive of the worlds series.
 The old argument as to whether or not a catcher is justified in blocking off a runner at the plate has been re- vived in St. Louis. It was revived when Cutshaw raced into the plate during the recent CardinaIs-Robins series and found Snyder sprawling all over the plate.
 A real rarity of baseball was uncov- cred in a recent game between the Montgomery and Columbia clubs of the South Atlantic league. In the second inning McNal1y Of Columbia hit for a home run with the bases full, and in the same inning Ward of Montgomery duplicated McNaIIy's feat.

probability. As they are always dan gerous on the home lot they ought to stay in front for quite a while.
 Writers who are on the road with the Giants say Benny Kauff would hit 30 points higher if he could be induced to shorten his swing. But Benjamin insists upon taking his "Moriarty'' just as he did when he played with Bridgeport.
 In spite of the fact that the Wash ington club has been playing so we'll that the team occupies first place, the fans in the national capital are not supporting the team. It is said that a crowd of 5000 is considered large. No wonder Manager Griffith is think ing of selling Walter Johnson. But if he did that he couldn't even get the fans to attend on free passes.
 In Catcher Walters, from Waco, Tex, the Yankees appear to have grabbed one of the best prospects in years. Walters has advanced this season from third to first catcher. He is batting .368 and is one of the best throwers in the league.
 Elmer zacher, the former New Haven outf1e1der, has been released by Newark. He has been slowing up in recent years. Since leaving New Haven, Zacrrer has been in the Ma tional and the Coast leagues.
 It is said that Manager Heinie Wag- ner of Hartford, does not get along very we'll with Catcher Pat O'Connor. The latter wanted to manage the club before Wagner was engaged. Then Owner C1arkin stepped in and hired O'Connor as catcher. although Wag- ner did not want the veteran.
 The Worcester club has secured Pitcher Phillips from the St. Louis Americans.

J. M. STREET ANNOUNCES
Present Representative Asks Voters
For A Second Term.

j. M. Street, who this week an
nounces his candidacy for re-elec-
tiOn as member of the house of
representatives, took an active part
in the proceedings of the last legis-
lature.
He opposed the bill creating the
position of court stenographer in
this judicial circuit, which place
would have cost this county $225 a
year. He took an interest in behalf
of the Confederate soldier, and sue
ceeded in having the names of a
number of these veterans placed on
the pension rolls. He introduced a
bill to repeal the health law inso-
far as that law applies to this coun-
ty. This bill failed, and Mr.. Street
assigns as a reason therefor that
when the bill was due for third
reading he was induced to permit
it to lay over and join himself in
an effort to pass a statewide bill re-
pealing this law. This latter bill
failed, after which time he was un-
able to again get his measure up
for consideration.
Of these matters, and others, Mr..
Street will have more to say on the
public canvass. He announces
that he seeks reelection on his
record and that he invites the
closest scrutiny of his official acts.
Mr.. Street has made several cam
paiens in the county, where he was
born and raised, and it would be
useless t0r tnlS paper 70 devote
space to words concerning him per-
sonally, when he is known perhaps
to all our readers in this county.
The people have the opportunity to
hear candidates for representative
from the stump, and judge them by
their own words and the positions
they take on public matters, and
they should not neglect that oppor-
tunity, The Record takes pleasure
in presenting Mr. Streets candidacy
to its readers who we know will
treat it conscientiously,
