REPUBLICAN STATE
 CONVENTION SEPT. 12
C. O. P. Committee Selects New Haven as Place For
 Nominating Ticket

The republican state convention for the nomination of the party's candidates for United States sena- tor, governor and other state offices will be held at the Hyperion Thea ter, New Haven, on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 12 and 13. Decision to that effect was made by the republican state central com mittee Tuesday at a meeting at 5he Allyn, House, Hartford.
 Tuesday, August 29 was designa- ted as the uniform caucus date for the election of delegates throughout the state to the state, congressional, senatorial, county and probate con- vention. Delegates aN%large to the state convention from senatorial districts comprising more than one town or city will be. elected on Sep tember 2. Such elections of dele gates at large will be made by the delegates to the state convention from the towns within the respective senatorial districts at meetings called for the purpose. At the same meet ings, the senatorial districts may elect their representative on the new state central committee, or wait until the morning of the second day of the state convention.
 Chairman Roraback
 The republican state central com mittee holds it's meeting in this city today. It's business will be to fix the time for the state convention to be held this fall in New Haven, and the date for the caucuses.
 There have been reports of an attempt to oust MT. Roraback from the chairmanship, but, if the unwise effort is made, it will not be until after the state convention has chosen the new committee. Meanwhile it is not out of place to call attention to the able management which has marked MT. Roraback's course since he succeeded MT. Tyler, another able and resourceful leader.
 He is frank and straightforward and nobody can truthfully charge him with any other course. His tact is remarkable and his unselfish de- votion to the party is shown by the length and the character of his se1- vice. His wide acquaintance through the state is itself valuable party asset and he deserves thanks and gratitude for what he has done.
 The chairmanship of any political party is a thankless job, at best. Whether or not the chairman is a man of high personal character, he must always expect to be maligned and abused for the simple reason that he is a political leader. It $ because of this attitude on the part of so many people that many big men of the Roraback type prefer to stay out of politics. It is not difficult to understand why democrats are gleefpl over any attack on MT. Rora- back. His 10 years experience at the head of the republican party in Connecticut make his judgment and foresight important factors to be contended with in any campaign. The best thing that could happen, from their, standpoint, would be for the republicans to "swap horses" on the eve of a difficult election.- Hartford Courant.

McGraw's Hurlers Are
in for Considerable
Work This Spring

One of the hardest tasks for
Manager McGraw, Of the Giants,
and his coaches at San Antonio
this spring will be to get the vet
eran pitchers in shape for the
early games Of the championship
season. Last year they were pref
ty slow in getting under way and
the loss of early season games is
costly. .
The worlds champions, well
fortified in every other depart
ment of the game, will need the
services of young pitchers until
warm weather comes and thaws
out the backward flinging arms.
Most of the other National League
clubs have youngsters who bear
the brunt Of the early season
games, and for that reason all the
Giant pitchers, young and old, will
come in for more flattering atten-
ton than ever this spring.

LAND|S' STAND
IN kAUFF CASE
PUZZLES FANS
Court Clears Benny OF Stolen
Auto Charge, but His Sus-
pension Remains.
By SAM CRANE.

Apparently Benny Kauff will not
get back into organized baseball. He
surely cannot do so unless Commits
sioner Lands lifts his suspension,
and It looks by the long delay as II
baseball will lose one of its heaviest
hitters who once was one OF its big
gest attractions.
Until Babe Ruth flashed out as the
best ever in long distance driving,
Benny was one of the biggest draw
ing cards the game ever produced.
Kauff, for the past year, or ever
since he was acquitted of charges in
connection with the stolen automobile
case, has lived in the hope of being
reinstated to good standing in or
ganized ball. The mental strain I'M
der which he labored must have been
tremendous. 1t may have Slapped
the energy for which he was noted.
He loved baseball. and while with the
Federal League and lster with the
Giants, he was pre-eminent and a
popular favorite.
He took the game seriously and
was a most Conscientious player. The
stain on his name is not removed
as long as he is under suspension
although he was cleared Of the court
charges made agaisnt him. He is
not even allowed, owing to legal COM
plications, to have Commissioner
Lands take up his case.
He has no way open at present
to clear his character and wipe out
the stair on his reputation. 1t is a
very unfortunate situation for him.
Benny adopted baseball as his profess
sion and took great pride in his rare
ability as a batsman.
Judge Lands has a delicate sense
Of honor and is determined to purify
baseball. He must have some reason
for continuing Kauff under suspen-
sion, and II seems no more than just
that Kauff should be made aware of
the cause for the disgrace. so as to
enable him TO refute the charges.
The baseball public is interested in
the case and desired to be informed
about all the inside of 1t. No doubt
kauff would welcome any move that
would do away with the terrible sus.
pense and anxiety occasioned him.
Benny may be forced to accent q
position on some industrial plant
league team. Eut that would not
serve to re.establish his good name
He desires to do that above all else.
Until he can do 1t he will not be the
same man.
kauff was a very loveable little
fellow while with the Giants. lie
was a favorite with his fellow play
ers and was far from being the blus-
tering, swell-headed boy he ives put
down as being. He dearly loved to
make home runs. but what PLAYER is
there who does not? There was no
braggadocio about Benny. The stu.
alton he now finds himself in is
really pitiful.

Appearance

Nineteen States have voted
against the appearance Of Johnny
Wilson in a ring. Complete re-
turns are not all in, but Johnny
may soon be tied with the Vol
stead act as far as mileage in
this country is concerned.
Canada and Australia have also
made it unnecessary for the mid

about killed Boston as an American
League city.
Next season there will be two
cities in this. circuit where small at

and Boston. Nobody blieves that
Bing Miller will make a pennant
contender of the Mackmen. His
friends will be contented merely if
he makes good himself of which
they have small doubt.
AY;W YORK is sure to open the
~ campaign a favorite to win
the pennant. The Yankees won
last year without the pitching
pounding their way over the line
by sheer brute force. Next wear
will find them equipped with fine
pitching staff and still possessing
that brute force with the bat.

ming for real battles NAV be in

annual spring series in the Mound
City. They are willing to let that
spring money 90 If by so doing
they may get into the real big
plum in October.
The Griffmen may be expected to
make a noise, hut their hope rests
in improved pitching. Given the
sort of in-and-out stuff they got
last season. they will have much
the same kind of a season. The
same thing goes for the Cleveland
Indians. Unless the Indians get
some capable pitchers to assist Gov
eleskie and Uhle. they're done now.
"Y COBB is doing his hest to
make the Tigers contenders,

Jungaleers will be much stesdier

were last. Infield weaknesses are

ing injected into the days work.

ought to go far. -.
Somehow or other the fans. In

lost sight of the Chicago White
Sox. So far as is known. Kid
Gleason will have the same lack
of big-league pitchers and no add
ed strength anywhere. A decided
change is needed in Chicago before
another pennant flies at Thirty
fifth and Shields.
So it comes down to the Red Sox
and Mackmen. Most fans every
where look for them to finish at
the bottom, and deep down at the
bottom, too. This will be triumph
for Harry Frazee, who is making
a record as q wrecker.

As matters stand after hearing OF
the case before the Boxing Com
mission. Wilson's only ''out" is to
fight Greb, a proceeding that con-
flicts with his Judgment He can
make more money, win, lose or draw
with Greb, than he can get with any
body else in the few tanks" from
which he has not been barred. But
IL he loses he is through. II he
simply quits he is also through, and
he isn't getting cent for 1t.
The State Boxing Commission,
through its affiliations with the box
ing authorities of other States, holds
the whip hand. Wilson is the first
American champion to be forced
either into retirement or into a
match he would not ordinarily con-
slider. In his particular case the
arbitrary powers of the commission
are invoked in a good cause, yet
the manner of applying them is
open to question.
Why should Wilson, just because
he is an unpopular champion, be
forced to meet a contender picked
Cor him by Richard when other cham.
pions sidestep their obligations? If
Wilson is to be compelled to fight or
resign, why should Johnny Kllbane,

to embroil Richard and the New

fight that may spell the end Of
Aegalized boxing in this State. The
game has now progressed about rs
far as it usually does before scan
dal arises to kill IL.
Marty killilea, Wilson's manager,
appeared before the commissioners at
their weekly meeting yesterday morn
ing. He states that he was ques-
toned at length by Chairman William
Muldoon, and in a manner that con-
WINGED him he could not expect a
favorable decision on his plea to have
Wilson's suspension set aside.
1t was generally understood that
this hearing was to have been held
yesterday afternoon and that 1t might
develop some interesting angles. The
newspapers were not notified Of any
change in the usual hour for the
weekly meeting, and consequently the
hearing was scantily attended.
The official verdict handed out was
brief and to the point. Secretary
Burchell announced that Wilson re-
mains suspended until he fulfils his
contractural promises to Richard.
That means he must fight Greb here
next month.
