Springfield at Wichita.
Despite the hiring; of a special train
by Cooley the Oklahoma City team was
unable to get here from Joplin yester
day and after the . crowds had assem
bled and no signs of the visitors were
evident, Cooley addressed himself to
the grandstand in a few words through
Boles as spokesman and then issued
rain checks. These checks will be good
for any game until the team goes away
on the next series, which will include
Sunday's game with 'Enid. Cooley, in
order to insure good faith and satisfac
tion among the fans will redeem any
rain check for money, if presented at
his drug store.
Red Craig is working with Enid now.
The genial Irishman got away bad
Saturday but will doubtless win several
good battles for Kimmel, Wright & Co.
. During the past trip the locals man
aged to annex six games which were
apportioned as follows: Three out of
four from Enid, one. out of three from
Hutchinson, and two out of four from
Wichita, losing four straight to Okla
homa City. On its face this is not a
very good record but when the facts in
the case are known the games won and
lost will be overlooked in the storms
Of protest which will arise from all fair
minded fans. At Oklahoma City four
games Were played. Of the four the
locals should have won three or would
have won three had they been given
fair umpiring. It does not take very
many rank decisions to change the re
sult of a game and umpires would soon
er please the home crowds than give
the visiting teams an even break. At
least that seems to have been the case
in Oklahoma City and Wichita. It does
not look very well for a manager to put
up a talk of bad umpiring and it would
not in this case had not Cooley made
it and Dick has never yet made any
kicks on umpiring away from home,
when talking to the local sporting writ
ers. At Oklahoma City the crowds are
prejudiced and are urged on by abusive
press notices which .are thrown at visit
ing players. Cooley was put out of one
of the games for disputing a decision
when Bill Rapps was tagged ten feet
away from the plate.'. The next day a
fine was tacked on after the umpires
and President Shively had decided not
to assess it. It .vas, all done at the
Instance of a paper in that town which
devoted half of Jtar sporting page , to
abuse of Cooley.
At-Wichita Cooley had requested
from Shively that ' another umpire be
sent to work In the game. Shively,
whom Cooley blames very vigorously
for the trouble- with the umpires, told
Cooley that Holland wanted the umpire,
then on' duty,- and bo Cooley had" to
stand for it. Whenrtoe Teached Wichita
Cooley received word from Shively an
nouncing his suspension for taking ex
ceptions to a decision in Hutchinson.
This decision was a rank one and not
a fan in Hutchinson approved of
Cooley's ; being put out of the game.
For a much graver offense In Topeka,
Shively refused to assess a suspension
against Pennell who had used profane
language in addressing the umpire and
the next day Pennell went in and
broke up a game. Not so with Cooley,
he is put out for a less trivial offense,
and the local team made to suffer.
Cooley is inclined to blame Shively
ifor all the trouble'1" with the umpires
and thinks that th doctor has given
him the raw end of It all the way
through. Dick is not asking to be
favored. All he wants when he Is on
the road is justice and he did not get
it in a single town, not even in Hutch
inson where the fans hissed the In
decent treatment of the locals by the
umpires.
Cooley after being run out of the
game at -Hutchinson watched the
game from the top of a box car a coun
try block away. For this he was sus
pended.
The Hutchinson team is up and com
ing in the race. The Andrews bunch
were badly handicapped at the start,
having lost the first four games to the
Jobbers. But today, they are playing
great ball and are " resting in second
place ahead of the Jobbers and White
Six.
Roach, Webb City's southpaw, who is
quite hard for the locals to hit, Is un
lucky when the team is home." He wins
a big majority of the games he pitches
on the road but does not fare well
when at home. ' - t
The Joplin team has ' won nine
straight games, having Just completed
four straight from Oklahoma City. The
Miners may yet land, above the Mets.
Oklahoma City ha lost the five last
games which they hive played. 'If the
locals should take them down the line
for four straight Oklahoma City would
be hitting the toboggan good and hard.
And the downward descent is eagerly
anticipated by several ' other teams in
the league. t , -
The Topeka team opens up with the
UKianoma city team- this afternoon
The high water prevented ' the Mets
from getting here yesterday. Three
games will be played In the present ser
ies and the other game will be played
off at a latter date, probably a Sunday
date later in the season. This will be
the first appearance, with the Mets' in
the city this season and as they are
now occupying the top of the ladder the
series ought to be of special interest.
The general opinion around the cir
cuit seems to be that the Mets have
been overestimated. The strong de
partment of the ;team is the pitching
staff but outside of Bemia and Folbre,
the staff doesn't looks very good to th-5
trained observer. Hoffer is too aged
to bear the brunt of many more battles.
Bandy has lost the last six or seven
games he has pitched and McClintock
hasn't shown so awful much in the few
games that he has pitched. Bemis is a
good pitcher and although he lost a
majority of his games last season he
has always been considered a good one.
Folbre has pitched some goad games
tills, season and in others: has' shown
explosive symptoms, put the Mets have
been mighty lucky aH reason. The' lnT
field does not compare with the To
peka infield. Rapps,; an outfielder, is
working in the shoes' of Warren Gill
and is but a fair first Backer, although
a good hitter. Love at second seems

It Is Not Likely That the Secre
tary of the Treasury
Will Be Mentioned for Tice
Presidency at Chicago.
TAFT AND DOLLIVfcR
Is the Ticket That Appears to
Find Most Favor.
The Senator Hag the Opposition
of His Own State.
Chicago, June 15. "Taft of Ohio, Dol
liver of Iowa."
There are many politicians In Chi
cago predicting that these names will
constitute the next Republican nation
al ticket, and some believe that the
Iowa man is as sure of the second
place as is the Ohio man the first. The
situation does not justify so strong a
characterization, but the Dolllver boom
is manifesting such positive ' vitality
and has grown so rapidly during the
last 24 hours as to Justify giving Mr.
Dolliver the center of the stage in
placing the characters who are taking
part in the vice presidential drama,
now being staged.
The other vice presidential develop
ments are: The increasing prominence
given to Vice President Fairbanks as
a candidate to succeed himself, the
falling off in the Cortelyou boom, and
a pronounced improvement in Sher
man's chances. -
The present indications are that Sec
retary Cortelyou's name will not be
presented to the convention. He has
from the first been largely dependent
upon the New York deleeatlon and -now
that it seems practically impossible for
him to secure the endorsement of that
delegation, It is possible that his can
didacy may not be further pressed. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Cool
idge said that if it became evident that
his chief could not- secure the nomi
nation without making a fight for it
he would not permit the mention of
his name in the convention. There is
no possibility of avoiding a conflict,
not even if Senator Dolliver is elimina
ted, as it is evident that no one will
be permitted to gather the prize with
out winning it in the open arena of the
assembled convention and with a num
ber of valiant competitors.
Fairbanks Sentiment.
The growth of Fairbanks sentiment
has been due to the fact that for the
first time some of the Indiana delegates
and other prominent men of that state
have discussed the chances of winning
second place when the fight for first
place is over. The situation in Indiana
is the reverse of the situation in Iowa.
While in the latter state the Republi
can leaders fear demoralization in case
of Senator Dolliver's selection for the
vice presidency, in the former they de
sire the renominatlon of Mr. Fairbanks
to maintain the political equilibrium
now existing in the ' state. They also
urge the retention of Mr. Fairbanks as
a source of strength with the voters
and because of his generally acknow
ledged successful administration of the
office for the present term. It is the
opinion of many that if the nomina
tion of a vice presidential candidate
should be long delayed Mr.' Fairbanks
would prove the most available com
promise candidate who has been men
tioned. The strategical position of New York
is largely responsible for Mr. Sher
man's growth as a candidate. If New
York has considered doubtful that state
could command the nomination for the
vice presidency, and its claim would re
ceive most respectful consideration.
Consequently much attention has been
given to the report which has gained
currency that the delegation of the em
pire state will declare for Sherman for
second place in case of the failure of
Governor Hughes for first place. In
addition, the claim is made that many
other eastern delegates will cast their
votes for the New York candidate. For
these and other reason Mr. Sherman
has made decided gains. .
Iowa Against Dolliver.
The Iowa friends of Senator Dol
liver, who want him to remain in the
senate and not to enter the vice presi
dential race, have been busy all day in
their efforts to devise means of pre
venting his nomination, still basing
their opposition on the sole ground
that his selection would work incal
culable harm to the party in that state
by causing a renewal of the factional
fight. " They have made many appeals
to the senator himself by mail and by
letter and through personal messen
gers, to all of which he has made the
reply that he is not a candidate and
that the office is not one that appeals
to him. ' .. ,.
Judge O'Connell, leader of the AH l-son-Dolliver
faction, has arrived with
a renewal of this assurance. Appeals
are also being constantly made, to in
coming delegates and Secretary Taft
himself has been, implored to prevent
the nomination of the Iowan.
These efforts have not caused a
diminution of the pressure in Mr. Dol
liver's behalf, but they are having a
perceptible effort upon' delegates,
many of whom are Inclined to admit
that available as Dolliver may be, it
would be better to find another man
for the nomination than to disturb
conditions in Iowa.
On the other hand, it is declared
that Secretary Taft has expressed a
decided preference for Dolliver and
this declaration is the most potent fac
tor operating in the senator's behalf.
Counting confidently upon having Mr.
Bryan as his antagonist, the secretary
is reported to have taken the position
to be the star of the infield as he hits
and fields well. Billy White has been
a good shortstop and three or four
years ago he was picked for faster com
pany. However, he failed to stick and
is generally losing his cunning. Emory
at third is a youngster who has shown
up well thus far but who shows hia in
experience. -The outfield lacks the class
of many other W. A. teams. White
and McCormick. are both youngsters
and although promising fall shy on
class. Goes is a fair fielder and about
a .250 hitter. His hitting Is usually
done jin the spring and he has been,
doing good work thus far. In the
catching department McConnell and
Kelsey play the roles. McConnell Is
manager and so far this season has
contented himself with taking care of
Xbxr gates. Kelsey is a valuable catch
er but is a weak hitter. At best the
Mets have been mighty lucky all sea
son .and. with the heir, of the umpires
have managed to reach the top but a
slump is already being seen. The wis
Ones say they will finish about fourth,
but by playing their strongest and ex
periencing a great turn of luck they
may wind up Nov 3. i
i
1
that he would need as a running mate
a western man of reform ideas rather
than an eastern man as the best em
bodiment of this requirement. Many
of his -friends are doing all in their
power to promote his candidacy and
they contend that Iowa should not allow-
her local complications to inter
fere with the utilization of her ravored
son in a broader field.
A Fieht Is Likely.
Summed up, the vice presidential
situation may be said not to have been
simplified by the efforts of the past
24 hours and unless the president or
Secretary Taft interferes the conven
tion itself will not be allowed to ad
journ without witnessing a pretty fight
over the second place on the presiden
tial ticket. .. -,
Members of the Iowa delegation
have been in communication with
Secretary Taft and after the conversa
tion closed some of them stated that
while they could not give, the details
of the talk, the public might expect
an Intimation from the secretary that
he did not desire the senator's nomi
nation because, as was stated, he did
not regard it good politics to take a
step which would render uncertain a
state which is now certainly Republi
can. '
"Who can be found to fill the re
quirements as does Senator Dolliver in
case of his withdrawal?" was asked of
National Committeeman Hart.
"That will be easy," was the re
sponse. "It Is not so necessary as has
been intimated that the vice president
should be chosen from the west. Sec
retary Taft is himself strong in the
west."
"Will Iowa be for- Sherman?" he
was asked and he replied: . .
"Iowa will be pleased to cast its
vote for Sherman in case he gets the
support of his own state of New
York."
HITCHCOCK FOR MANAGER.
Taft Is Being Urged to Let Him Bun
the Campaign.
Chicago, June 15. Letters urging
Secretary Taft to appoint Frank H.
Hitchcock as manager of his campaign
for election, in the event of his nomi
nation for the presidency by the Re
publican convention were mailed by
more than half of the members of the
present national committee. .
Frank II. Hitchcock, Taft Campaign
Manager, Who Probably Will Be
Chairman ot the National Republi
can committee. ., ,,-. -..iv-,i
The' expressions favorable to trie' se
lection of Mr. Hitchcock were made in
response to an intimation from Wash
ington that advice would be acceptable
on the question of selecting a chairman
for the next national committee and
most of the letters had been mailed
before Mr. Hitchcock was apprised of
the action taken by his friends.
When told of the letters having been
sent to Secretary Taft. Mr. Hitchcock
said:
"I regret very much that my friends
have seen fit to take such action at
this time. It has been my opinion all
along that the question of selecting a
manager for the campaign could well
wait until after a nomination for the
presidency has been made by the con
vention."
That there is opposition to the ap
pointment of Mr. Hitchcock as chair
man of the national committee is con
ceded by that gentleman's friends. The
name of Senator Crane is heard fre
quently In connection with the chair
manship and there are a few members
of the committee who are seeking to
have Chairman New retained in the
position. The selection, however, has
been thought to rest between. Mr.
Hitchcock . and Arthur I. Vorys, who
has been identified with Mr. Taft's
ca.mpaign ever since he first announced
his candidacy. Mr. vorys nas a large
following in Ohio and former Governor
Myron T. Herrick, the present commit
teeman from Ohio and Charles P. Taft,
brother of the secretary, are believed
to be committed to the appointment of
the Ohio manager. . Since the contests
were settled before the national com
mittee, Mr. Taft, it is said, has not
attempted to Influence Secretary Taft
in making a choice.

Chairmanship of the Nomination
Notification Committee.
Chicago. June 15. It is announced
.t the Taft headauarters that Unlfed
States Senator William Warner or
Missouri will be chosen chairman of
the convention committee to mage
notification to the presidential nomi
nee of his choice by the convention;
that former Governor Hill of Maine
would be preferred to head the con
vention committee on permanent
nrranization. and that unitea estates
Senator Charles W. F. Fulton of
Oreeon was being, most favorably
considered for the chairmanship of
the credentials committee. The selec
tions depend, of course, upon the Suc
cess of the plans of Taft forces--to
organize the convention, and are re
garded as indicating the confidence
felt in that quarter that their strength
predominates. The selection of Sena
tor Warner to head the notification
committee is regarded as of more
than passing political importance.
The senator is past commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of the Re
public, a veteran who saw service
throughout the civil war and repre

Ordinarily this appointment would

convention. Senator Lodge of Massa

because of a contemplated visit to
Europe will be unable to accom

The intended compliment to Gover
nor Hill emphasises the appreciation
felt toward what is regarded as an
original Taft state. Mr. Hill's work
during the contest hearings by the
national committee was most efficient
and earnest and his bearing and per
sonality is said to have won for him
many friends. His ability to head the
important committee - on permanent
organization is conceded. . ; . . ,
The credentials committee chair--manship
is a matter requiring and re
ceiving most careful consideration.
Senator Fulton's availability Is
recognized from many points of view.
He is not only entirely familiar with
each of the contested cases before the
national committee, but he heads a
delegation which comes to the con
vention without a Single contest. Be
side this, his appointment would be

Texas Sends a Pair That Will Be Use
less for Anybody Else.
Chicago, June 15. A remarkable pair
of trousers to be presented to Secretary
Taft in the name of the state, of Texas
when he shall have become, the Re
publican candidate for president are
on their way to Chicago and are at
tracting the attention of the politicians.'
Incidentally, 16 is said, the trousers are
intended to focus eyes on Texas and;
the'Angora goat Industry of the state
for they are made of mohair, the pro
duct of clippings from a famous An
gora goat from Texas, and they are in
tended to be worn by the Republican
candidate for president if It be Taft.
If the nominee should be Hughes, Knox
or Fairbanks, the advertising scheme
will be lost for the mohair has geen
made up according to Secretary Taft's
measure.
The Idea is that of John B. Carrlng
ton, secretary of the Business Men's
club of San Antonio. He has written
to Cecil A. Lyon, a member of the na
tional committee from Texas, that 10
pounds of wool had been sent to him
by Frank O. Landrum, a goat breeder,
the wool being six months . clipping
from "Admiral Togo," whose sire was
Imported from South Africa. Tin busi
ness men of San Antonio sent the wool
to Philadelphia and had it made lnco
mohair, which in turn was sent to Mr..
Taft's tailor In Washington and made
into a pair of trousers for the secretary,
of war. The Texas business men ex
pected that Mr. Taft would be In Chi
cago during the convention and order
ed the trousers sent to Colonel Lyon
for presentation to the secretary. They
are now en route here.
A telegram announcing the fact that
the trousers had been expressed from
Washington was received by Colonel
Lyon today and he Immediately began
the preparation of a proper reception.'
It will include the exhibition of the
trousers at the Coliseum If Taft Is
nominated. The delegation will lead
the column up the aisles in the usual'
procession of enthusiastic delegates of
which a nomination is invariably a sig
nal. Colonel Lyons expects to have
the trousers hoisted on the Texas stan
dard. -.-' . -
