TALK OF REPR|SAL
Tells Ohio Democrats That
Administration Has No
Time for VendettaS,
BY the Associated Press.


AKRON, Ohio, August 5.-James A.
Farley. chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, declared last
night that talk of political reprisals
against those who defeated President
Roosevelt's court reorganization pro-
posal is piece of moonshine"
This administration is concerned
with bringing back and perpetuating
prosperity; it has no time for ven
dettas," he told meeting Of the Sum-
NIT County Democratic organizations
The Democratic chairman said Re-
publicans are circulating the story OF
coming reprisals.
Not Interested in Feuds."
Those who are spreading this ab-
surdity forget that the national DEM
ocratic organization Is practical
party implement" he added Its
function is to win elections. 1t is in
terested in campaigns and not in
feuds. 1t is in the building business;
not the Wrecking business"
Farley also declared that talk of an
ullUI IusedUle. gun anu Ill lHCuTdDle
rift in the Democratic party" comes
from Republican orators and anti
administration newspapers and is "the
veriest moonshine"
Says Situation Not Unusual.
Referring directly to the fact that
some members of the Presidents own
party vehemently opposed his court
bill, he said:
There has not been a President
since the early days of the Republic
who has not encountered a similar
situation. Men of strong opinions are
bound to differ. But when the con-
troversy is over and the heat of de-
bate has cooled, you will find each of
them valiantly pulling his oar in
the party boat"
In an interview at Mount Vernon,
Ohio, on his way to the meeting here,
Farley predicted that Senator VAN
denberg of Michigan will be the Re-
publican candidate for President in
1910 and that there will be no third
party.

Con Whalen, who played first base

1896. The Canadian city held a fran
chise in the Pacific league. The Ana
conda Standard eulogized Whalen's
ability, adding that while Cons posi-
ton is at third he is sometimes a little
wild in getting the ball over to first,
and in this, probably lies the reason for
his being switched to the first basing

player, was an umpire in the Western
league in 1896. The season before Joe
played for Minneapolis in the Western
circuit. A new manager took over boss
the new pilot. He went to work as
an umpire. More bad blood developed
when Werrick threatened to forfeit a
game to St. Paul if the Minneapolis
team didn't quit delaying the start
ing of home games. In those days the
Minneapolis team would not begin
games on time if the stands were

BIG LEAGUE CROWDS OF 5000

In 1896 there was only n major
league, a 12-club circuit. The American
league wasn't thought of at the time
and was not to be until five years later.
A brief editorial in the Anaconda STAN
dard gave Montana fans a resume of
the first few weeks play of the sea-
son. The editorial follows:
THE baseball season is we'll under
way and immense crowds are reported
at the games of the National league.
The leaders r Pittsburgh, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, Boston and Cincinnati.
Baltimore, the winner Of the pennant
last year, has made a poor start. Per-
haps the most remarkable feature of
the season is the very bad showing
made by the New York club, which
stands in eleventh place, next to the
bottom. Despite the poor standing of
the Giants, large crowds of 1000 and
5000 have attended holiday and Sat-
urday games. While crowds of 5000
have been reported at other cities"
