music for dancing were provided. and
no voter who entered the corral was
permitted to leave. For two days
the ~carousal made the day and night

frowsy, b~efuddled voters were
marched from the corrals TO the
polling place, a ticket was placed
in the hand OF each with the in

two days the Mexicans were cross

voters and who were not, and there
were no challengers."

Will Handle Affair After At
tending Series-Hopes
Yanks Will Win.

IT have no one under consideration
for appointment as manager of my club
nor have received any applications for
the position" That's what President
Clark Griffith of the Nationals had to
say this morning about the naming of a
successor to Bucky Harris, recently de-
posed as pilot of the Washington base
ball club.
And the prexy also said he was in no
hurry to select new manager. I'll
probably wait until the world series is
ended. I need little holiday and hope
to find an enjoyable one in attending
going to take that long trip to st. Louis,
though. That's too much for me at
present"
This matter of mentioning men now
on the Nationals roster as likely to be
considered in the selection of a pilot
isn't so pleasing to the club president
He held it may create disSension in the
ranks and steadfastly refused to say
whether any one of several possible sue
ceSSOrS now named in gossip about
town has even chance to get the job.
Lets talk about the SERIES said the
prexy when pressed about the manager
ial appointment. Il hope the Yankees
will win. In fact, if their bats are
swinging freely believe they will. They
may be crippled and the Cardinals may
have three pitchers that take particular
delight in working against such clubs as
the American League champions, but
the three pitchers are not invincible
Batting naturally, the Yankees will
make trouble for them"
Bucky Harris, who leaves for the New
York end of the series tonight, has as
yet made no move toward landing a
managerial berth with another club.
IN wait few days. then get busy" he
said today "Of course, wasn't free to
negotiate with any other owner until
Mr.. Griffith made clear his stand and I
do not think there is any chance of
conducting any negotiations until after
the world series.

been more than kind to me and I am
deeply attached to the city. Wherever

that man better calculated to get

our opinion that in the proper

best second basemen in base ball

his ability as leader on the field,
where he has proved himself keen,
courageous and competent, whatever
his shortcomings in other respects
might be.
No instance of where Harris failed
to keep his word ever has come to
our attention. Unlike many occupy

Over a number of years of rather
