The Democrats Choice

Perhaps the democrats had the
same reason for nominating Governor
Cox as the republicans had for nom
mating Senator Harding-the dele
gates were tired and wanted to go
home" The fact that he comes from
Ohio and is expected to carry that
state may have been the controlling
reason. Governor Cox's record as a
public man is probably superior to
that of the senator, but it is not such
record as that of Mr.. McAdoo. VI
course, the idea that Mr.. Palmer could
be nominated was not taken seriously,
although he figured as one OF the
"big three" in the balloting. He dlyid-
ed with Mr.. McAdoo the support OF
the administration Had the Palmer
faction been willing to JOIN forces
with McAdoo in the earlier ballots
there is reason to believe that the
presidents son-in-law could have Sc
cured the nomination. That Is to
say, the administration could have
named the candidate had it openly de-
clared for him. Failing this, Cover
nor Cox profited by the opposition
split. AS we have said of Senator
Harding, so it may be said of Cover
nor Cox, that he was not the real
choice of more than third of the
delegates. Like Senator Harding,
too, we doubt if he can rouse any
great enthusiasm outside of his own
state except in the breasts of the
fanatical partisans.
Unless their future discloses more
than their past, # cannot be said
that either of the candidates is of the
first rank. Both are practiced poll
ticians. Neither is an idealist like
Wilson or Bryan or Roosevelt. or even
Taft. But in the approaching CAM
paign the personality Of the candt-
dates IL not of first importance. The
republicans having nominated q sec
ara rate man, the democrats could do

Duffy Lewis, Veteran Yankee 0utfieIder, Is Determined Holdout But Most Of
 Other Players Are Signed

New York, Feb. 9-Mi1ler Huggins, manager of the Yankees, who has been spending the past few days at his home in Cincinnati, will join the Yankee owners at Chicago. He hopes to put through a deal or two but the players for whom he has been angling do not appear to be on the market at this time. The fight in the American League is also interfering with Hug gins plans to strengthen the club, as owners who are fighting against the three insurgent members are none too keen about making any deals with any of the battling triunavirata
 Virtually all the veterans of New York Yankees. with the exception of Outhelder Duffy Lewis, are said to be under contract for the coming season, Lewis is holding out for a sum in ex- cess of what was offered him by the Yankee owners. but it is said that the difference is not great It is from some of the younger players, picked up for trial in the majors, that Hug. gins is having his greatest trouble in the holdout line Some of the rockies have such high ideas of their worth that it has been impossible to get close to their figures
 The offices of the Yankees are to he moved in a short time owing to the transfer of the 42nd Street building, here the club has held forth for the past sixty years. The new owners hays ] named May as the time limit for the tenants. and the Yankee owners have leased offices in the Cohan & Harris building on West 42nd street, l just east of Seventh avenue. It is possible that the moving will be done before the opening of the coming sea- ] son.
 l The signing of Red Smith as third baseman of the Yankees gives furshes indication that Manager Huggins as not counting on Frank Bakers retur7
 to the club this year. Smith, a hart
 hitter in his earlier days as Nationa:
 Leaguer, has never played in the
 American League, and he may tfnc
 the pitching to his liking for a time At any rate Huggins now can star
 the season with an experienced tt1rt
 baseman, who will be available d

LEONARD AND
 DUNDEE READY
 T0B0X TONIGHT

New York, Feb. 9.---At the Arena in Jersey City tonight Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee meet in an eight round bout, the affair being more or
 less of postponement of the one that
 was to have been held in New Haven.
 It will be the eighth time the pair
 have faced each other. In none of
 their bouts has anything bordering
 on a knockout loomed up fh the dis
 tance.
 True, Dundee was on the floor in a
 Madison Square Garden bout and so
 was Leonard, but in both cases this little inaignity might have beer charged to overzealousness in swing. ing at each other. It is matter o1 record that neither man took "thf count" but bobbed up serenely and went back for more.
 Dundee has ever been a source or trouble in the Leonard camp, but the very fact of his being a vest pocket tempest has brought thousands of dol lars rattling into the Leonard coffers Every fight between them has brought each profit in great big goIbs Ano ] like the feud that so long existed be- l tween Jack Britton and Ted Lewis, the one that has kept this pair on fighting edge has been the means of
 bringing forth the best that is in 1 them.

New York, Feb. 9-John Olin- the Finnish Goliath, intends to return to the wresthng/gam and fight his way to the rop rung of the championship ladder. Olin ts one of the greatest grapplers that ever trod the mat. Also he holds the enviable reputation of beieng the only man that forced Alex Aberg, the Greco-Roman title holder, and Joe Stecher, the worlds tch-ascatch can champion. to quit These two remarkable feats Olin ac- conplished several years ago when he was wrestling in his best condi- ton.
 A few yeaSs ago O1in neglected the wrestling game and only participated in matches at infrequent times. With wrestling now at its height, O1in has has determined to be one of the lead ing factors. For that reason he is working out daily. and will be at his Fest within short time. OHn is now out with a challenge to wrestle Stecher, Caddock, Zbyszko, Lewis or any other star and is willing to wrestle any of them on a winner take all basis. He would prefer Stecher. for he is the champion. Also it would give the champion an opportunity to wipe out that stain Olin put on his record at Springfield, O.

Football, as 1t Is played in Japan, is quite unlike the sport in Amer fca or England. The ball, some seven or eight inches in diameter, is made of leather and blown up with air tho same as in the Occident, but the eight players, dressed in white ktmo- mas with hakama, or long, shirtlike trousers, treat it in quite another fashion.

The members -Veeck of Chicago, Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh. Griffith of Washington and Mack of PhiladeI- phia-were joined by John Heydler, Ban Johnson, head of the American League.

 Heydler said: 'rNo newcomer will be allowed to throw a splitter. I think we will give the o1d-time pitchers who are recognized as spit ball throw CTS period of time to develop some thing to take the place of the splitter They might be granted 8 year, or pos sibly only about two months or so Every club would have to register with the league the names of the recognized spit ball pitchers.

BAKER EXPECTS
 TO REFRAIN ON
 FARHi THIS YEAR

Ft is probable that J. Franklin Bak- CT still will be on his farm in Mary land when the Yankees take the field for the opening game of the 1920 pen nant campaign. The Trappe slugger has not yet definitely announced his retirement from baseball, but Miller Higgins, who returned the other day from a visit to the players home is rather certain that Frank is through. Baker, said Huggins, is engrossed with his affairs at home and seems to feel at this time it will be best for him to remain in Trappe this year.
 Baker is not just 'stalling' for more money said Huggins, "and he l is anxious that his real position be | made clear. A year ago, when he | consi dered retiring, I induced him to return by pointing out that in a way ! it was his duty to do so; that the war ! was over and baseball was about to | start new, and that he. as a member | of the club, in pre-War days, owed l it to us and to the fans to do his part ] in putting baseball back on it's old i plane.

 1920 AUTO RACE

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 9.-The five consecutive winners of the great In dianapolis race since 1913 will run races within a race in the eighth Annual 500-mile International Sweep stakes on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 51st, for a cash purse of $50, GOO, which Will make the big five century grind one of the most interesting battles in American speed history, as the lure of the big purse will be so great that not one of the former winners will be able to resist the call.

 The year before the suspension of racing on account of the war the distance was reduced to 3O0-mile and this race was captured by Dario Re- sta driving a Peugeot which made the second victory for this make of car the average being S3.26.
 In 1919 the distance was again 500- miles and Howard Wilcox established the third winning for the Peugeo factory, his average time being S7.55 miles per hour.

CAMDEN STARS
 DOWN RIBBONS
 IN CLOSE CAME

The Blue Ribbons have been un- able to break their habit of losing games by one point but the basketball hall yesterday afternoon felt well re- paid even if the local tossers lost to Camden, N. J., by 28 to 27. It look ed in the last minute of play as if the Ribbons would have chance to tie the score. Harvey, who replaced Chris Leonard at center, dashed down the floor and was just about Camden player. The latter got the ball and kept it away, erom the Rib bons until the whistle blew.
 Steele and Campbell, the Camden forwards, who are newcomers in this section, proved very fast. Each threw four from the floor. Leary at center was also a star. Harvey, Wassmer and Wright did well for the Ribbons. In addition to hurling two from the floor Wright also tossed four from the foul line. Dehnert, the Ribbon guard, made a specta cu1ar play when he carried the ball the entire length of the floor and then shot a goal.
 Camden got away to a lead of to 0 but the Ribbons hung on and al the end of the first half the score was Camden 13, Ribbons II. It was close throughout the last half Next Sunday Germantown, Pa., will play here. The score:
