President Lannin added when asked whether any formal resignation had been offered.
 He said he had done nothing to- ward the selection of successor to Manager Carrigan. but the names of Patrick Donovan, of the Buffalo Inter nationals and Heine Wagner, until re- gently manager of the Hartford team of the Eastern league, were mentioned in this connection.
 Carrigan was appointed manager of the Boston club in midseason of 1913, when Jake Stahl was removed.

ONE-WING DALEY

In the pitchers hall of fame, set ting forth the names of those who have twirled no-hit and no-run games, appears the following entry:
 18S3-Dailey. Cleveland N. l.. vs. Philadelphia, September 13.
 Dailey's feat, pulled off thirty-three years ago today, deserves bold black letters in the record book, for he was handicapped by having only one wing. There have been other one armed pitchers in the minor circuits. but so far as the writer as been able to discover, Daley was the only man with this handicap to make good in fast company. Daley played with the Cleveland Nationals two seasons, and was afterward with the Providence and Philadelphia Nationals.

BASEBALL BITS

Hans Wagner seems certain to fin ish another season in the 300 class after falling to reach the mark during the past two seasons. Hans batted 300 or better for seventeen successive seasons as a major leaguer up to 1914.
 The race for batting honors in the National league was never such an open affair at this stage of the cam paign as it is this season. Six or sev- en players are very much in the fight at the present time.
 Milton Stock is having a great year with the stick. The Phillies third baseman has been hitting over the 300 mark for some time. He form erly batted around the .26o mark against major league pitching.
 eff we can't win the pennant hope Brooklyn wflln' said President Baker of the Phillies yesterday Col Ebbets Is good fellow and so is Manager Robinson!"
 Scout Dick Kinsella, who left the Giants last winter to sign with the Yankees, has retired from baseball to give his entire time to a private business venture in Springfield, III.
 Witt of the Athletics gives promise of developing into one of the heaviest hitters in the game. His batting av- craze is light. but he pounded many ball to the fences this season  Joe Leonard, the new third base man of the Washington team, is hit ting the ball hard. In twepty-one ga mes this season he has batted at a 1854 clip. Washington fans are strong for this aggressive young ster

Pipp finds the stand handy, but not at all necessary. 1 It will be a sad blow to Cleveland fans if the Indians finish near the | foot of the ladder after the great spurt which brought so many vision of a pennant to the fans.

loud in his praises of the republican
candidate FOR governor, Carl MIlliken,
who commands the respect and sup

an excellent campaign Maine has
always been noted for its patriotism, .
saws Mr.. Cole, and the men who

filled with Indignation at Wilson's
weak and vacillating and unpatriotic
conduct of our relations with Mexico,
You find magnificent specimens of
American manhood in Maine, men
who are American first last and all

makes their blood boil to hear of
American men murdered American

the president of the United States,

politically, contents himself with

The shipping Bill.
The senate has passed the MeAdoo-
Wilson shipping bill and it now COOS

some of its worst features. but still

the shipping board, with salaries Of

how convenient it is to have $4,000

order to enable a friend to vent his
spleen. The clause which called forth
the veto relieved retired officers from
liability of service and from military
discipline. 1t was designed simply to
enable General Ainsworth to publish
a book attacking his time-honored
enemy, General Wood. Possible Rep

severely blamed, because 1t is upon

The Man Behind.
That ii was "the man behind the
words which lent force to President
Cleveland's ultimatum to England re-
garding Venezuela, and to President
Roosevelt's ultimatum to Germany
also regarding Venezuela, while it has
been the man behind the words who
has been responsible for the contempt
accorded by the various foreign ma
lions to the protests of this admins

ton Of Senator Lodge
Int tHIlStOn DlStlo~Hft.
The unintended but fortunate dis
closures of General Funston's en-
phatic recommendation that General
Pershings command be withdrawn
from Mexico has revealed another inn
portant phase of the Mexican siula-
ton which the administration had
earnestly sought to suppress. Since
April II General Pershiug's command
has been kept in Mexico, in constant
danger from attack, not permitted to
advance, without reinforcemeuts, to
the injury of its health and morale,
because-President Wilson could not
make up his mind. either to continue
the pursuit of Villa or to withdraw.
In the effort to shift responsibility for
any military disaster which might oc-
eur Mr.. Wilson and Secretary Baker
have persistently avoided asking the
military authorities for their opinion,
but they inadvertently asked General
Funston for his views in connection
with the proposed Mexican conference
and the courageous little kansan

words would be to Mr.. Wilson, came
back with flat-footed recommends
