UMPIRES SAY MAYS
RESORTtO TO TR|CKERY
Evans and Dineen State That
They Constantly Had Trouble
With Him.
BY Associated Press 70 Every Evening

Boston. Aug. 18.-The explanation by
Carl Mays that the killing Of Ray Chap
man was due to a rough spot on the ball
Mays pitched, which caused it to take an
unexpected twist, was the subject of a
statement today by Umpires William
Evans and William Dineen of the Ameri-
can League.
"No pitcher in the American League
resorted to triekery more than Carl Mays
in attempting to rough ball in order to
get break on it which would make it
more difficult to hit" the statement said
Until the new pitching rules came into
force, which put a severe penalty 'on a
pitcher roughing the ball, Mays constant
~ used to drag the ball across the pitching
rubber in order to roughen the surface.
Hundreds of balls were thrown out every
year because of this act"
The players Of the Boston and Detroit
clubs, who were at the point yesterday of
signing a petition TO have Mays banned
from the game, today awaited word from
Iris Speaker as to his opinion of the
pitch which killed Chapman Several
asserted that regardless of any general
action they would not go to bat against
Mays again.

WEATHER MARS FRUIT.
Unfavorable Conditions Cause Spotted
Peaches and Tomatoes.

Unfavorable weather conditions have
played havoc with the peach and tomato
crops, and seriously affected other fruits
and vegetables in this vicinity.
Peaches begin to spot and rot inside of
twelve hours after reaching the market
in the early morning in many cases; and
tomaoes spoil although the crop is album
dant.
The market price for an excellent quality
of tomatoes has recently been forty cents
per basket. Freight and cost of basket ac-
count for 2712 cents, according to prom
.inento dealer, which leaves only little
over u cents to be split between grower
and commission merchant, Under such
conditions, it is said, producers must sell
at less than cost. As a consequence, the
market is stagnant.
A further drop in the selling price of
sweet potatoes is looked for by those con-
versant with conditions. From SIS bar
rel, the price two weeks ago, a reduction
to SIS has been made already in the Phila-
delphia Market.

litical workers. The most we could hope
for would be to present ticket OF nominees
who would win 10 the party a fair pro
portion of the army of new voters en-
franchised hy the Constitutional Amend

the support of thoughtful and serious
minded men, with real conception OF
what governor should be and what at
tainments are necessary for q candidate
for the Office, cannot be expected to win
the votes of thoughtful and serious-mind-
ed women who are in this campaign to
choose their party alignment. Ii they are
sickened by nomination which cannot
attract them to the Republican party, how
can we hope they will ever become Repub-

"Mr. ..Denney Is an insurance agent whose
life has been devoted to writing policies
of insurance Politically he is a Republican
and his political activities have been con-y
fined to the carrying of local primaries by
the manipulation of the venal voters. As a
consequence, he was once for sixty days,
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, and again for some years nominal
secretary to a United States Senator, the
position Deing actually IHeu Dy IeHiO-
crat from Alabama, with the requisite
ability. Neither of these things constitute
sufficient training or reveal sufficient capac-
ity for any such office as governor of an
American Commonwealth.
Should not the serious-minded voters
of Delaware be offered candidate on
the Republican ticket whose training and
revealed capacity give some promise
of craftsmanship. Whether the women
get the vote or not,-why Denney"
While no fight is expected at the pri-
maries on Saturday, there is some question
as to whether Colonel Denney can secure
the majority of the county delegates
who would be pledged to him, first, last
and all the time.

FARMERS SUPPORT UNDERWOOD

the Farmers Union. This is not espe- cially remarkable, even in the midst of a political campaign, but it is interesting to note that every one of these organ izers is taking an abnormal interest in the senatorial campaign. And, strange to relate, all these county organizers to. man are opposed to Senator Under5 wood. They are not only negatively opA posed to Senator Underwood. They are aggressvely working for MT. Musgrove. This of course.. is volunteer work which does not have to be accounted for in the expense account filed by 8 sens tcrial candidate in which he swears that race for the Senate. We would not in- innate that all these volunteer work ers'' of various character are really paid or are spending the expense money of any candidate for the Senate, but we will say that if man has money to cover it up, the volunteer workers" scheme is about as good as anybody could devise. Of course there is some danger about it.

 Having at least average intelligence the politicians who surround the Hon. Rreck Musgrove realized weeks ago that the jig was up. the game was finisneo urless the solid hard-thinking farmers of the state were weaned away from Sen ator Underwood. Their first scheme was revealed in the work of few ag1tators and organizers who sought to reorgan- ize the Farmers Union on new pas1s' right in the midst of political cam paign. The Birmingham Chamber or Commerce, which had extended hospi- talty to the organizers. directed them to go elsewhere al soon as it learned that the organization being directed from US headouarters-that it was being used to beat Underwood and to elect Musgrove.
