CANDIDATES IN

HAVANA. Cuba, Dec. 9.-Efforts
to abate campaign frauds were en-
larged in scope. during the recent
partial elections, to include the Sc
lectionist' groups which have sprung
UP mushroom like during the last few
years.
These organizations. fixing their
headquarters at some popular ctfe
where their spokesman holds court,
and Haunting such names as La
Pimienta' tThe Pepper), "El Perejil"

Corsairs), are alleged to offer can

sort CT chance to win that the race
track plunger gets from the bookie
on combinations The selectionist
chief is said to swing his group at
SO much a head for a certain com
bination of aldermen, provincial coun-
cilmen and national representatives
On the basis generally quoted, it has
been estimated that the cost of Sc
lectionist support for an alderman
would be about $4,000, a councilman
$1,000 and a rapres eE5ative $25 ,000,
If all the selectionists were properly
salved.
All this, of course, subject to the
generally understood peril OF thu

BROWNS HOPEFUL
OF 70 PENNANT

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Dec. 9.-(By the
Associated Press)-Confident as re
suit of their showing in 1922, when
they finished in second place only
one game behind the champion New
, York Yankees-their best perform
ance in 20 years-the St Louis
Browns have high hopes of winning
the American League championship
next year
Disappointed but not disheartened
over failure to capture the flag after
a strenuously close struggle with the
Yankees, Phil Ball, owner of the
Browns, has spent sum estimated
at between 100000 and $3.50, 900 pur-
chasing new players to strengthen
his team for next years campaign.
Fifteen new players have been pur-
chased and 10 have been recalled
from minor league teams to which
they were Harmed out" so that
when Lee Foil, Brownie chieftain,
assemblies his squad for spring train
ing he will find an unusually large
number on hand.
The pitching staff, third base and
centerfield which were considered
the weak positions and probably had
inability to finish first last season,
much to do in the local Americans
are to receive the major portion of
Manager Fohls attention on the
spring training trip.
Forl said he planned to develop
another hurler or two to assist his
"aces," Urban Shocker, Highlander,
and Hubert Pruett, southpaw The
most likely twirlel's to win regu-
lar position on the mound brigades
are Danforth, left-hander, who has
been recalled from Tulsa of Western
League; Henry. and Kraft.
Homer Ezzell, purchased from the
San Antonio club to fill the far cor
ner, and Phil Todt, recalled from Co

fielder, all are expected to have keen
competition for their berths.
