Tiny, Maxwell. the ponderous
sports editor of the Philadelphia
Evening Ledger. as ponderous in
ability as in bulk, had chat with
Tom Ready, manager OF the Bethle-
hem club OF the Steel league, the
, other day. In the summer Tom man
, ages the Steel leaguers and in the
fall he. coaches the Lehigh varsity
eleven. Frequently he sees "Tiny"
refereeing games in which Lehigh is
giving. somebody a licking, ''Tiny"
being = hard-working football Of
fetal. This explains "Tiny's" tale in
his paper that the Steel league might
be part of organized baseball next
HERE'S ''TINY's- TALE.
Quoting Friend Maxwell, for we
owe him no money and so he is still
our friend. here's the tale:
at wouldn't surprise me-" said
Ready oracularly, "if the Steel
League received recognition from
Organized Baseball next year. We
would be glad to get it, because
the game then would receive a big
boost"
Tom is right. Admitting tho
Steel boys into the fold would make
a new minor league and all of the
games WOulu De prayed according
to Hoyle. This does not mean they
are phony at present or anything
= like that. The games are well con-
Quoted, hotly contested and on the
level. But under the rules of the
National Association they could
avoid the unpleasant and unprofit-
able system of Turing dissa tisfied
major leaguers to their midst and
do their business in a businesslike
way.
The Steel League could get more
players from the majors, and il
stars are developed they can be
sold to the highest bidder. There
is a dearth of ball players now, and
the more minor leagues in the field
the more chance the majors will
have to get new taleIt. And 1T
would be more pleasant all around.
Ball players will have to toe the
mark and do their best instead of
threatening to jump the club every
time a call-down is administered for
bum work"
WE RECALL THE FEDS.
Recalling the struggle of the Fed
eral Leaguers, we are prepared to see
the lion and the lamb lie down to-
gether in baseball.
1t is probable, though, that were we
to ask any organized baseball leader
Clark Griffith, for instance-we
would be told a tale Of "never surren-
DER stuff, but We take no more stock
in such yarns, not after the Federal
League scrap. What is more, there is

and anything may happen.
There will be many nerves wracked
to the elastic limit today. With the
big four-Hagen, Barnes, Ray and
Vardon-closely punched, and Jock
Hutchison sailing ahead on his rec
ord d-breaking performances. and Evans
and Jones, TO say nothing or BOD
Macdonald, Eddie Loos. Willie Nc
Farland, william Melhorn, Z. w.
Hackney, Freddy Mcleod and JACK
Burke, there appears TO be little
choice in the field.
Anything and everything may hap
pen. Many confidently predict that
Hutchison, who turned in % ana

son eaualed his record figures OF 90,
and with consummate ease clocked OF
his 10, which put him In the van yes

Vardon. Ray and Hagen got 147
while Eddie Loos made lab. Chick
Evans got $50 along with Bob Mac
Donald. Thirteen followed in order
down to Freddie Mcleod. who got
1852. Among the thirteen expected to
figure on this Friday the thirteenth,
there Is a discrepancy OF but seven
strokes. This difference appeared In
Hutchison's first and second rounds
yesterday.
1t Is. therefore, anybody's title with
the big four knocking them steadily
along waiting for Hutchison, Diegel
and Loos to crack. Nardon, Kay,
Hagen and Barnes can be counted
upon to maintain their present gait
Evans has a chance IL his putting

in the running by the amateur con-
tingent.
Five of the six leaders are veteran
campaigners who are counted upon
as being able to stand the gam. An
inspiration, such as Hutchison has
been experiencing during the past
three days, Is capable of lifting al
most any of the thirteen to titular
heights despite the regularity or the
performances of other contenders.
WAS DIFFERENCE.
And so it goes. glance over the
seventy golfers who played yesterday
shows some surprising golf. That
there should be difference or
twenty-seven strokes between Hutch
ison and Walsh, the last man in, is
surprising. At the same time there
il difference of ten strokes between
Hutchison and the twenty-fifth aspir-
ant Douglas Edgar. worlds record
holder and Canadian champion, who
comes from Atlanta along with
Bobby Jones.
The performance of Edward Ray,
the Oxonford golfer from England.
was worthy of note. Rays golf in
the qualifying round was anything
but good. Yesterday he appeared to
come into his own. Frequent drives
of 300 yards found him well up. His
putting was deadly and from dis.
tance of as far as thirty feet. IL there
was weakness in his game IT ap-
peared to be in his iron work, for his
brassie frequently shot the ball dis
tance better than 800 yards.
MAY TIE TODAY.
There arc many predictions that at
the end of today's thirty-siX holes a
tie will exist. In this event eighteen
holes will re played off tomorrow
morning.
An international finish is assured.
With Vardon and Ray up there in
front and Hagen, Barnes and Hutchi-
son in the going, much Is expected
in the way of close finish.
1t Is thought that Hagen will fur
nish the real battling against the
Britishcrs. The home bred pro and
present open champion looks to be in
indication that he is prepared for to-
days great trial The weather is
threatening.

A PRELIMINARY VICTORY.

~ HE republican state convention, by the nomination of Judge NJ.
G. Mechem. of Socorro, has won a very important preliminary
victory, not only for the party, but for the cause of good gov.
crnment in our state. This victory is very clear TO all those thinking
activities
A very determined effort has been made TO force upon the
republican party a situation in its state ticket and within its ranks
which would have disorganized all republican forces throughout the
state and which would have made an effective campaign impossible.
An effort has been made, encouraged very cordially by power
fl democratic influences, 10 set up conditions which would have
made the campaign one Of personalities; a discussion of the personal
records Of individuals rather than a broad argument rs TO what prin-
ciples and policies are best for our state.
This effort, aided by powerful influences which claim to he re-
publican, came very near to success The tools which these latter
influences used were for the most part innocent tools possible Of
plant use through personal ambition, personal pride or less worthy
causes. The campaign has been made exceedingly bitter. There has
10 assault every useful and active element in its leadership and to
smash that leadership without a single indication Of a constructive
suggestion.
This campaign, from within and without the party, has failed
and failed completely. Principle, loyalty and common sense have
won.
The campaign now opening can be Fought out on principle. It
will be a mighty difficult job to turn it into n campaign Of person
alties. In Judge Mechem the republicans have chosen a candidate
whose record in private and public life, cannot be assailcd, whose
high character and demonstrated courage are known throughout the
state.
The customary campaign of personal abuse will not be possible
against such q man. Every effort of the kind will react in his favor
Every such effort will rally more loyal support to his cause.
II is perfectly clear today, from the freely expressed opinions Of
delegates to the republican convention, both those who supported
and who did not support Judge Mechemis nomination, that his choice
has the hearty approval and his campaign will have the hearty sup
port Of the rank and file Of republicans throughout the state.
Any republican, real or alleged, who for any reason may wish
TO oppose republican success this year, will have to make the fight,
not from under cover within the party, but outside Of the party.
There is no cover within the party lines under which al enemy can
successfully hide.
