FEW LEAGUERS
EVER OWN CLUBS
Men Who Make Regulations and
Money Playing Baseball Sci
dom Get to be
Owners

In looking over the owners Of major
or minor league baseball clubs one
does not find that many OF them have
ever played league baseball them
selves. This does not mean that all
big league players fade away and are
never heard Of again for there are
many of them today who are getting
by In the business world the same as
they did when playing ball
One OF the most shining examples
OF player who afterwards became a
club owner is Charles Comiskey.
Comiskey has had the White Sox for
many years and has made lot OF
money in Chicago His fair treatment
of both players and Patrons has made
him as many friends as any man con-
nected with organized baseball. Some
other former players who now either
own clubs themselves or own stock
are Clark Griffith OF the Washingto
team; Connie Mack of Philadelphia;
Branch Hickey Of the st. Louis Cardi-
nails, and others.
Joe McGinnity, who some years ago
was a wonderful pitcher on the Giants
team sunk lot OF money when he
bought the Tacoma club of the North
western league and this venture Is
said to have broken him. The coming
year Is going TO be ono Of the toughest
on minor league owners that has ever
been seen. Already the International
league, reputed to be one Of the strong
est In the east, has gone under and
there will undoubtedly be others to
follow before the season is over. The
big leagues. however, should have
profitable season and any one holding
stock in these clubs should have little
cause for Worry.

The Election

The primary election last Tuesday
was a surprise in many ways; to Gov.
Philip and his followers it was per-
haps the greatest surprise. 1t was
not thought possible by them that
Wilcox could make the showing he
did There was no contest in the
democratic state ticket and there is
no question but what many democratic
votes went into the republican party,
when it was considered that there is
an increase of 10000 votes in that
party over two years ago. There have
been fears expressed that the demo-
cratic party would not obtain the 10
per cent necessary to place the ticket
on the ballot, but chairman LaBudde
thinks there is no reason for this APP
prehension, but this may be the case
in some of the legislative districts.
Locally, the democratic vote was very
small for the same reason which pre-
vailed all over the state-the allah
sorbing interest IN the republican
gubernatorial contest.

Langlade and Marathon counties
comprise this, the 25th senatorial dis
trict. w. w. Albers has been senator
from this district since 1910. The
contest will be practically between c..
B. Bird, republican, of this city and
Christ Bloom, socialist, also OF this
city. The democratic candidate, Hen
eel, of Amigo, failed TO file his NOM
ipation papers in time and there was
not the required percentage given to
any democratic candidate to place his
name in the democratic column. 1t
would require filing nomination papers
for a candidate now to even get into
the Independent column. So the fight
is centered down to G. B. Bird and
Christ Bloom. Mr.. Bird is not an
office seeker in any sense of the word
and going to Madison to attend to
senatorial duties will be a sacrifice,
the voters of his home county should
give him hearty endorsement. All
are acquainted with Mr.. Bird and
know him to be a lawyer who has
more than a statewide reputation and
a man of great ability. He is indie
pendent in thought and will decide
questions upon their merit. The An
tigo Journal says that Mr.. Bird will
get a substantial endorsement in
Langlade county and he certainly
should in Marathon.

THROUGH WILDS OF AFRICA
Plenty of Excitement In Motorcar
Trip Recently Undertaken by
Lover of Adventure.

To travel 1900 miles overland in a
motorcar through the wilds of South
Africa without mishap is considered
a remarkable accomplishment. accord
ing to story In African Motor of
johannesburg.
In this article r. Asher of Port Eliz-
abeth tells of a successful trip. "The
roads In this country are VIGOROUSLY
bad, which makes the feat performed
by the car the more striking" says Mr..
Asher.
The journey took him through Ora
Jamestown, City of the Saints, Fort
Beaufort and through Bedford, typi-
cal inland city, and many Of the larger
settlements.
In spite of transforms and almost
impossible roads no difficulty was ex-
perieneed throughout the whole trip
aside from tire trouble. Some portions
Of the journey were made at the rate
of 81 miles per imperial gallon of
gasoline.
Parts of the journey through Mon
tagu pass and Kyshna hills had to be
negotiated in second speed. yet through
all Of this mountainous travel the re-
markable feature was the GOODNESS of
the motor. Mr.. Asher reported that
no water was put in the radiator from
Oudtshoorn to Port Elizabeth, which
are at opposite sides of this billy coun-
try.
Describing parts of the trip and COM
menting upon the appalling road con-
ditions in places, Mr.. Asher says that
after plugging and struggling through
almost impossible roads, river was
encountered which had to be forded.
1t was necessary to take the plunge
| with the car into a swift torrent, so
deep that he could not open the car
door. The radiator was partly SUBJ
merged, but the car plowed through
successfully.

The next matter of interest, politi-
cal, will be the candidate conventions
of the democratic, republican, social
democrat parties, to arrange platforms
which. will of course, strongly re-
new their faith in principles of each.
The conditions to be met in the re-
publican and democratic parties, do
not vary to any great degree, but how
to go about it they may differ. The
democratic party in June, adopted res
olutions which may form a basis for
its platform. Several questions arose
at that time which were largely dis
cussed but were not acted upon; in
fact action on them was refused.
Among them were the prohibition
amendment and the elimination of
foreign languages from the schools,
and the woman's suffrage subject. The
republican party have the same ques-
tions TO face and they are very GER
tain to be presented to both conven-
tons, though they may not. The soci-
al democrats will, in their candidate
convention no doubt endorse the state
convention platform.
