All of which gives rise to a suspi-

Politics were not eliminated when
the Federal league gave up the ghost,
and seem to be played as well as ever
now.
Tom Seaton, new pitcher for the
Cubs, is due e today, and will tell
Manager Tinker he expects to have
the best season of his career. Pitch
ers always say that in the winter.
Really, Tom should have good sea-
son, and Weeghman and Tinker de-
serve the thanks of the fans for get
ting him.
If they follow out that sportsman
like policy of going after the men
they want, they need not worry about
receiving the patronage of the fans.

over Porky Flynn In New orleans
last night, but the Rochester masto-
don is not championship caliber now,
and his showing proves he has long
and rocky road to travel before he
can challenge for the crown now held
by Jess Willard and receive any con-
sideration.
On the fight Fulton made last
night there are several men who are
his superiors Frank Moran would
surpass the brand Of battling put
up by Fulton, and so would Jim Cof-
fey. Jack Dillon, light as he is, would
be fine little investment in the bet
ting line if matched with the north
ern giant.
The fight went the limit of twenty
rounds, and only in the last few did
Fulton do any execution worthy of
note. He woke up then with his long
straight left and planted it to ad-
vantage in Flynn's midsection. But
earlier he had been completely out
fought. He knew nothing about in
fighting and was completely mystified
every time Flynn came to close quar-
tiers. Fulton had no defense for that
kind of attack.
He was peppered by Flynn's short
jabs, receiving a cut over his eye. In
the fourth round Fred claimed he had
been hit low, but the referee disa1-
lowed the claim and the crowd howl
ed at Fred derisively.
Jumping the results of the battle,
Fulton showed himself a novice in
ring generalship, a willing man, but
one knowing little about his work.

SEE HOLD-UP PLOT
TO HELP WILSON
Republicans Say Demo
Gratis Plan to Effort Fund
from Ofhce-HOlderS.

Carefully prepared plans OF the
executive committee of the National
Democratic Committee TO extort a cam
paign fund of several million dollars
from Federal Office holders, in violation
of the law and of the Civil Service act,
have been discovered, according 10 an
announcement at Republican national
headquarters last night.
The plans propose the raising OF
this huge fund for the reelection OF
President Wilson" the statement says
"The trainers of the plan are perfectly
aware of the fact that they are skating
on very thiD fee and have striven 20
direct the procedure of their subordi-
mates so as to enable them 10 effect a
substantial violation Of the law without
being caught. The first drive Of the
cash collectors for the Democratic COM
mittee is aimed at postmasters, but 1t is
specifically set forth that all other Fed
eral appointees as well are expected TO
contribute 70 the Wilson campaign
fund. The amount of the levy upon
them is 10 per cent Of one years SAL
ary."
The statement points out that the
postofrce appropriation bill, approved
by President Wilson July % last, car
rics an item "for compensation 10 post
masters, s31.O0O,O00," and declares that
if the Democratic bagmen are only rea-
sonably successful in holding up post
masters they can expect TO accumulate
a fund of many hundreds Of thousands
of dollars, If not millions, from post
masters alone.
"The Democratic trainers OF these
plans" the statement continues. are

10 the strong-arm men the fact that

viously meaning that it Is not legally
compulsory-but they proceed 70 state

on the officeholders. A record is 70 be
made of the loyalty Of those ap-
pointees who contribute and OF the
'disloyalty' of those Federal ONCE
holders who decline to contribute.
