with the old fail again. The chubby

has gone simply crazy. and bids fair
to keep up in the vanguard. now that
he has regained his stride at bat
Sisler hit well up In the 800 class
early IN the season. and then had .
bad slump. While here this spring
he got peeved because he failed to
hit but a measly 200 in the Washing
ton series.
As a matter OF fact during the last
OF May and the hrst week In June,
Sisler was ashamed OF his ten-day
average OF .1s2.
It's a different story now. The
young hrst-sacker Is banging them
right on the nose and sending the
old agate all over the lot. Sister has
hit safely In sixteen OF the last seven

good in the Sixth City" said Morgan.
The Old Fox called upon Ed No
Kean, former Cleveland star, last
night just to talk over old times. and
the way this pair snapped stories was
a caution.
You always were q pretty fair
pitcher Grin. but usually managed to
get one or two . game when you were
in the box" stated Mexican.
You never got q hit on me In your
life except when two were out and
sased UP q bit," the Old Fox replied.
You're wrong, Ed, we'll leave IL to
Pat Tebeau." Grin added. and so the
conversation ran.
The argument waved exciting, end
ing when the lights went out. To dis
interested spectators the bout was a
draw.

letes and not one Is proving q fall

Uncle Sam is difficult TO understand.
Clarence Rowland really believes
that his White Sox are going to re-
turn pennant winners this season.
Well, Clarence may be right, at that.
The White Sox have been playing
fine ball ever since the campaign got
under way, and 1t would not be sur
prlsing to see them rush across the
lina in first place. Chicago has wait
ed many years to welcome q wipner,
but this may be the South Siders'
year.

CITY POLITICS
DISCUSSION OF THE MAYORALTY
ELECTION IN THE SPRING.

During the zero and below weather
which prevails citizens have time to
discuss various public matters, and
prominent among these topics is the
question, WHO is to be the next
mayor of Madison?"
1t having been reported that May
or Geo. II. Waskey would not be a
candidate for reelection, the name of
James Robertson for the position has
been most generally mentioned, al
though other names have been sug-
gested.
Discussing the matter with Mayor
Waskey today, he said to The Daily
Leader that he was not a candidate
for reelection. After having served
the city twelve years as a member of
the city council and ten years as may
or, consecutiyely, he thought, per-
haps, it was time for a change. He
believed there were many good men
in Madison for the place. Indeed, the
city would be unfortunate if there
were not a number of men in its cit
izenship competent and worthy Of the
position. While he did not complain
of overwork. he remarked that his
long service to the city had been
something of a personal sacrifice
from a business standpoint. How
ever, he had not lost any of his 10y
atty to the city and his enthusiasm in
helping Madison to grow to become
one of the foremost cities in the
state.
The mayor referred to the fact
that Madison's municipal property
was considerable and public improve
ments i'm the immediate future would
be great, and hat there is hard work
to be done by the city commission.
He believed Mr.. Robertson espe-
cially qualified in many ways for the
position. His long experience as a
contractor and builder had no doubt
qualified him in such work as look
ing after the Management of the mu-
nicipal electric light and waterworks
plant. besides other business quail
fications.
NO" said Mayor Waskey, Il am
not a candidate. but some of my
friends have said that under certain
conditions | might be drafted into
the campaign"
Approached on the subject this
afternoon. James Robertson stated
that for several weeks past he had
been importuned by business men
and others to become a candidate for
mayor. He had carefully considered
the matter and had decided that at
the proper time he would formally
announce his candidacy.
The election will occur on the
third Tuesday in April.
