Must Shou Why
Names Are Not
On The Ballot

Bismarck, n. D., Sept. 7.-Edward
S. Allen, representing the Burleigh
County Democratic committee,
brought the county auditor before
supreme court under writ OF
mandamus directing that he show
cause why the Democratic county
ticket should not be placed on the
ballot. Auditor r. z. F7aherty. act
Ing under ain opinion from the at
torney general, withheld from the
ballot all Democratic candidates for
Office except the three legislative
nominees, the four candidates for
justice of the peace and the candi-
date for sheriff on the grounds that
the other nominees at the primaries
did not poll 25 per cent Of the vote
cast for governor, secretary Of state
and attorney general by their party
in the last general election.
Attorney Allen argued that the
act of 1913 under which the attor-
ney generals ruling was made was
not constitutional He cited an opin-
ion Of the supreme court in 1910
holding that the old provision re-
curing for nomination 30 per cent
Of the vote cast for the secretary Of
state was unconstitutional, and he
recalled the fact that Governor
Burke had vetoed on the same
grounds an act OF 1911 making the
vote for governor attorney general

German Reiehstag Members Declare
IL More Important Than Victory
New York, Sept. ITO some OF
the members of the German reich
stag, peace has become more i'm
portant than victory of the military
class on the battlefield. This is in
dicated by the assertion recently in
the German parliament by DIR. Cohn,
an independent socialist that he
chad rather have peace without a
monarchy than war with a, mon
archy." The speaker was discussing
the army budget.
The socialist declared that it
seemed to him that the world war
was coming to be regarded as a
family affair of the Hohenzollerns."
A recent army report had an
nounced, he said, that William had
attacked"

"You know it is every ballplayer's

Miller writes. "Well, I had such

Sport Snapshots
(By Jack Keene.) .

The placing of professional base
ball in the n-essential class is go
ing to result in more than simply
releasing a large number Of able
bodied young athletics for war serv-
ice Of some kind. Many Of base
balls greatest stars and leaders who
were not affected by the ruling are
going to do their bit now that they
know the governments position re-
garding their game.
Among men who have volunteered
their services are:
Christy Mathewson.
Ty Cobb.
Branch Hickey.
Mathewson has received a cap
tair's commission in the chemical
warfare service for overseas duty.
He sought the commission although
he is married and has a son.
Ty Cobb, married and a father,
also has been made q captain IN the
same branch. .
Branch Hickey, president of the
st. Louis Cardinals, has been grant
ed a majors commission in the same
service. ...
These men represent the highest
type of men connected with baseball
in any capacity.
Mathewson can give the govern
ment use of a brain that made him
the headiest, most scientific pitcher
in the game. His craft and cunning
are without equal in the history Of
the sport,
Cobb, different type. ought to be
Of equal value. : His spirit, pep and
unlimited ambition carried him to
the pinnacle of baseball fame.
Branch Hickey is still a different
type. He has been at the executive
end. He has managed successfully
a club that for years before his COM
ing had been apparently hopeless
case.
Hickey is one of the new genera
ton of baseball moguls-a scholar
and a thinker. He ought to be of
| great value.
Hughie Jennings, the Tiger leader,
has offered his services to the gov
eminent. Jennings is a recognized
leader Of men.
Baseball's representation in war is
going to be increased rapidly. there
\ is no doubt. The odium attached to
! the sport because OF the earlier &C
ton of moguls and players is going
to be removed by such men as Cobb,
Matty, Hickey and Jennings.

various teams that represented
Cleveland in the American league
/ Terry Turner recently was given
ten days notice of his unconditional
release. However, it is only a form
which it was necessary for the

der not to be obligated to pay Turner
his salary from September / to
october Is. The work or Sight order
terminated contracts Of players of
draft age. The war department,
however, did not say that players
oyer 81 should quit playing, so that
magnates had to issue ten-day
notices Of release to veterans and
Turner was among the number.
Yale will have varsity football
eleven this fall. There also will be
a freshman team. John Mack the
Blues veteran trainer, will have
general supervision of the physical
condition of the various players, and
a graduate coach will be chosen
some time next month. It is esti-
mated that 500 freshmen, who had
the advantage Of first class inter-
scholastic coaching in football last
year, will be candidates for gridiron
positions on the New Haven teams.
While nothing has been done yet,
Yale, Harvard and Princeton may
resume their football games, which
were greatly missed by collegians
last year.
Philip o. Mills, former Harvard
