BRAVES PROFIT BY INJURIES
TO RIVAL PLAYERS
BY Mark Shields

Boston Braves. StalllngS people
climbed but, half a game on the Phils
and failed to advance on the Dodg-
ers, but there were other happenings
that may have an important bearing
on the pennant race, and they favor
the chances of the BostOnians.
Jimmy Johnston, Brooklyn out
fielder, lead-off man in the batting
order and one of the teams most
consistent hitters, was laid out by a
shoot from MOTdecai Brown that
banged him in the 'nose, breaking
that organ and retiring that athlete
to the sidelines for a month at time
when he is most needed by his club.
As a Iead-off man Johnston has
been a sensation in the National
league this season. The former Cub.
established something of a record at
one period of the campaign by hit
ting safely his first time up in nine
out of eleven games. His ability to
get on has been a big factor in the
Tun-making of the Dodgers.
Robinson has enough reserve ma
terial to fill the gap, but the land
strum is not as capable as the inca
paeitated regular.
Johnston ,absoIVed Brown from all
blame for the accident. The three
fingered veteran was never a bean
bali twiTler and the accident upset
him considerably. Johnston thought
one of Brownies swift ones was to
be a curve and stepped into it. 1t
broke toward him. Previous to the
accident Johnston had hit a single
and double in two trips to the plate.

being put on, the Phils suffered a Sc

Gamblers Seek Pardon

A few of the seven gamblers who
were convicted last month in the dis
trict court at Las Vegas and were
given suspended sentences of from
one to five years in the State prison
have been circulating petitions asking
that their sentences be annulled.
In about 10 days the petitions will
be presented to the board of pardons

civic league and individuals of the
town who think that the convicted
men should be kept under the sus-
pended sentence for at least two
years are circulating counter petit

"He Kept Us Out of War"

Wilson kept US out Of war!
And he has spent SlOO,OOO,OOO in
doing so in the Villa episode alone.
lie is now spending from S15OO0,0O0
to S2O,OOO,OO0 a week. He has spent
on keeping us out Of war with Mex
leo altogether to date at least $3.50
100000 It is estimated that he will
spend at least s1OO,OOO,OOO more.
Besides the lives: Vera Cruz. Co

Santa Ysabel and the thousand minor
butcheries which cause the total blood
shed Of peace with Mexico to exceed
the total casualties Of the Spanish
war Of 1898 And then the outraged
women, the ruined men, the plundered
property, the insults, the sufferings
Of disowned Americans. And the dis
grace and discredit Of it all in the
eyes Of the world.

One Apology

Under instruction from the Presi-
dent Gen. Scott has sent an apology
to Carranza because some Texas sol
diers, who we're fired at by Mexican
bandits in Texas, chased the latter
across the border into Mexico. Very
polite indeed we are becoming, but
it has been a long time since anybody
apoligized to this country for any
thing, although our citizens and sol
diers have been killed, women out
ragged and hundreds Of thousand dol
lars worth of their property destroy
ed The only way we can get an
apology is to make it ourselves.

Strong Republican Drift

The strong republican drift which
began in ST. Louis in April, 1913, has
become more pronounced everywhere
Except for less than 100 increase in
the Nevada senatorial election Of
1914. the democratic candidates on
national issues have showed no gains
anywhere. where fair comparisons
have been made. This was true in
both the general and special elections
Of 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916. The re-
publican drift has even extended TO
the cities Even in Missouri there
are republican mayors in st. Louis,
Kansas City, St Joseph, Springfield
Joplin and Sedalia.
A special congressional election in
West Virginia two days before the
republican national convention met
sent a republican TO fill a vacancy
caused by the death Of a democrat
The election in Maine retired a dem
ocratic governor. United States SEN
atOr and member Of congress and
sent another republican to the SEN
ate. The republicans cast the highest
vote on the state ticket in all Maine's
history. The primaries in Washing
ton, Minnesota, California, Kan
sas, and Illinois brought out an
enormous republican vote. compared
with that Of the democrats. In Mis-
souri,, the democratic vote in an in
tensely spirited primary fell thous-
ands behind that Of 1912 and 1905
while the republican vote far sur
passed any ever cast in a primary.
The New Yorl, primary was fairly
astonishing. Mr. Bacon. defeated for
the republican nomination for United
States senator, got many more votes
than both the democratic candidates.
Gov Whitman captured the nomina-
ton of the remnant of progressive
by vote Of five TO three over Judge
Scabar-y selected chiefly because Of
his supposed popularity with the pro
gressives The number Of enrolled
republicans exceeds that Of the en-
rolled democrats and the enrolled
progressives combined.
An occasional falling off in the
democratic votes might be ascribcd
20 apathy or lack Of contests" But
such "a universal and such a habitual
tendency cannot be so lightly OK
planned away. Democrats have neve~
heretofore shown a constitutional tim
idity about voting. The conclusion
is unacceptable that this is a republi-
can country and a republican year
