BARNES NSIBS
Republican Leader Blanks
Griscom for Rumpus.
TAKES A FLING AT ROOSEVELT
Speaking For Republican Committee,
Albany Boss Declares Charge That
Taft Backed Sherman Was
"Absurd."
New York, Aim. 124. Iteverhenitl'ii
of the bomb throwing among the old
guard Itvpubllcnn leaders by I'rosl
dent Taft In his letter repudiating thr
nimnicr In which Colonel ltoosevelt
was rebuITed by the state central com
mittee are today still heard throughout
tlie city, state and nation.
William Barnes, Jr., Is the. onl
leader who has so far been heard from,
but State Chairman Timothy U Wood
ruff, who will arrive hero today, I?
expected to add something to the
Barnes statement
In his statement, Riven out In behalf
of the state committee, Mr. Barne
made no pretense at answering the
charges made by Mr. Taft that he had
been tricked Into having It made be
lieved that he favored the selection of
Mr. Sherman and that the vote of the
committee refusing to accept Mr.
ltoosevelt had been prearranged with
his knowledge.
The statement given out by Mr.
Barnes was for the most part an at
tack on Mr. Hoosovelt's attitude In
coming out In favor of the policies of
the progressive faction of Uie Repub
lican party and a condemnation of hU
position on the question of direct
primaries.
After some general Introductory re
marks, Mr. Barnes, In his statement,
said:
Representative government Is thf
foundation stone of the American re
public. Individualism has run riot. It
Is made to appear that the people had
lost their minds In the demand for
dictatorship.
"When Mr. ltoosevelt at a Harvard
commencement after an absence of
over one year sent a telegram that
the method of making nominations in
the state of New York should be re
vised In accordance with a measure
which had not yet been printed, the
detnils of which were known to not
half a dozen men, the legislature right
fully resented his action. When Mr.
Griscom interjected Mr. Itoosevelfs
name as a candidate for the temporary
chairmanship of the Republican state
convention without the members of
the state committee knowing where
Mr. Roosevelt stood on the Issues now
before the people In this state and
after the vice president had been plac
ed In nomination before that commit
tee, thereby forcing an Issue which it
was not the intention of the majority
of the committee to create, he simply
threw a firebrand in the Republican
situation entirely unwarranted and for
what purpose it is not for me to say.
"Ho unwise was his action that 1'res
ident Taft has been called upon to dls
claim the absurd charge that he wa
responsible for the selection of Mr
Shi-nuan. Of course he was not r
ionilil-, nor was he consulted. Why
should he be? The selection of Mr
Sherman, a highly proper one. m
made by the state committee itself
whirh was a function belonging to ii
:iud to no other body of men or to n
slm-'le num."

CLUB OWNER!
BSD FOB TALENT,
Ail Dig Baseball Magnates In
Market For New Players,
SCOUTS SCOURING COUNTRY,
Every Major League Club Has One or
Two Men Looking For Promising
Material Star Youngsters Not Plen
tiful Covaleskie'i Case.
Big league baseball magnates are
already hard at work planning for next
soasou. The magnate who falls to
plan ahead Is bound to meet with dis
aster, for this Is an age of keen com
petition, and no owner can afford to
rest on his oars or to bo content with
the talent at hand. There Is no aggre
gation In the business which Is as
strong as it might be. The teams ni:
have their weak spots, and It Is not
illllleult to pick otit the departments !n
which strength Is lacking.
For Instance, in the Pittsburg team
this year the main defect has been In
the pitching department. Manager
Clarke has been handicapped by not
having enough good twlrlers.
Other teams have had other weak
spots, hut there Is none which Is per
fect, and the managers and owners
are constantly on the hunt for new
men who will patch up holes which
are apparent to the team's foes.
Scouts are now scouring the country j
cast and west, north and south. Al
ready reports are beginning to come
In of a host of players purchased for
delivery In the fall or next spring, i
Most of the minor leaguers who are to
advance will be given trials this au
tumn as soon as the campaign ends In
the circuits In which they are now
performing. Wo hear stories of fabu
lous sums being paid for young talent.
Most of these figures nre grossly ex
aggerated. For Instance, It was re
cently stated that Connie Mack paid
COVALESEIb, UX-UlU I.KAOUKli, WHO IB
TWlliLl.NU ailUAT UALL.
$12,000 for the release of Pitcher Lefty
Russell by the Baltimore club of the
Ha stern league.
If Connie Mack ever paid $12,000 for
any player he must be addicted to
sleepwalking or has changed his sys
tem most radically. Heretofore Con
nie Mack has been content to get his
players very cheaply and develop
them himself. It Is doubtful If all the
men on the Philadelphia payroll cost
Mnck much over $12,000 nt the outset.
Scouts of tho big leagues arc having
a hard time of It looking nround for
talent. In most of the Btnaller circuits
It Is the ex-blg leaguers that are doing
tho sensational work. A well known
baseball emissary said the other day
that he was well nigh discouraged over
his failure to find any players that look
really promising. Ho was In the south
ern section of the country recently and
watched Harry Covaleskle, whom Cin
cinnati turned loose this summer, pitch
a fine game of baseball. Another
scout was In tho same town, and they
agreed that Covaleskle was performing
in fine Btyle,
"He seems to have everything," said
the one. "Ho possesses flno curves,
splendid control and excellent speed.
Moreover, he Is using good Judgment
Why do you suppose tho Reds over
turned him loose?"
"Tfoero Is Just one thing wrong with
him," remarked the other scout "Uls
heart is poor, He lacks courogo to
tand up nnder fire. Aside from thnt,
he la the best looking southpaw I havo
seen this year, and I wouldn't know
that ho bad a defect by looking at
him."
That's Just, the .way Jt jioes," , re-
WORLD OF
marked the mnn who told me tin
Btory. "While 1 was watching Covn
leskle 1 said to myself. 'Well, If that
man won't do for the big league, what
chance have I to dig a comer out of
the bushes, for this big southpaw looks
better, fur better, than any material I
hove seen this summer.'"
BASEBALL CH RPS
It looks as If Mannger Duffy of the
Chicago White Sox had dug up a And
In Outfielder Meloan. He Is hammer
ing the ball hard and often.
For three years Urldwell of the New
Vorks once n weakling with the stick
has been one of the hardest hitting
shortstops in the country and away up
among the batting stars of the Na
tional league.
At no time since the Washington
club has been in the American league
has there been so strenuous and hon
est an effort made to build up a win
ning tenm as Is now under way under
the direction of Jimmy McAIecr.
Fred Beck of the Boston Nationals
can surely hit. Ho came from the
coast with n great record as a slugger
and was carried all last season, bat
ting poorly, In hopes that he would
come through. This year he Is killing
the globule.
Manager Griffith of Cincinnati has
added n few gray hairs to his scalp
since last season. The "Old Fox" has
been almost driven Insane by the fail
ure of his pitchers to deliver the
goods. When the season started the
Reds were considered pennant possi
bilities, but the Rhlnelandcrs have
failed to stay up In front on account
3f the weakna-w of their hurlers.
BASEBALL IS A FUNNY
BUSINESS, SAYS CLARKE.
Manager Clarke of Pittsburg
is the author of this gem:
"More I see of this baseball
business the funnier It seems.
One day a man feels like trad
ing the entire crew for a bunch
of minors. Next day you can-
$ not see a spot where you can
Improve."
Kentucky's Long Race Meeting.
Lyman II. Davis, secretary and hand,
lcapper of the new Louisville Jockey
club, has mailed an application to the
Kentucky racing commission for' fall
racing meet, beginning Oct 1 and con
tinuing for nineteen days. It Is gen
erally believed that the Kentucky as
sociation of Lexington will be granted
ten days, beginning Sept. 10, nnd the
Latonla meeting may get twenty-four
days, commencing Oct. 24. This will
give fifty-three days of racing In Ken
tucky this fall.

CONNIE MACK A PUZZLE.
Manager of Athletics Keeps His Owr
Counsel and Says Nothing.
Cornelius MctJIIIIcuddy. mutineer ot
the Philadelphia Americans. Is the
most unique card In baseball. Mack
says but little, but does a whole lot.
Once Connie uttered us many as ten
words publicly In one week. Not that
Mr. McGlllIcuddy , Is stingy conver
sationally, but he Is a close mouthed
Irishman rare Indeed. Interviewing
Mr. Mnck Is like shaking hands with
yourself, shouting "Hello?" "Goodby!"
and going away.
If the day Is fine nnd everything
lovely C. Mnck will probably Inquire
how the home athletes are doing and
If the new player hits to right or left
field. Ho may even venture the opin
ion that It's a nice day, that yesterday
was nice and that It will ho pleasant
next week If It doesn't rain.
C. Mack embellishes his countenancu
with a studious look nnd garbs bis
CONNIE MACK, MANAOEIt OF THE PHILA
DELPHIA AMEIIIOANS.
person In ministerial raiment His
face looks like a week of prayer, and
he's always "just a little down In the
mouth."
Ills methods of living are peculiar.
He goes to the ball yard via street car.
I climbs the stairs Into the grand stand,
I buys n score card and walks slowly
down to the bench.
Arriving at the bench, he removes his
coat, draws a pencil from his pocket
nnd makes a few marks on the score
card. When the contest starts ho sits
with hands on his knees, body leaned
forward, nnd wigwags diligently with
the score card. Occasionally he shifts
his feet, which has great significance
for the tolling athlete.
After the game he waits until the
crowd leaves the park, climbs on to a
street enr nnd goes back to the hotel
quietly, with dignity and without a
smile.
Mack handles his ball players as a
woman teaches the children In pri
mary grades firmly, kindly nnd with
everlasting patience. His players love
him. they work for him and are satis
fled. He has shoved a bunch of youths,
supported by a few old heads, to the
front In the pennant race, nnd they
are out there with n good, comfortable
lead.
Cornelius McGlllIcuddy Is a .closu
student, and he developed hlmselt
from an ordinary catcher to an astute
director of a major league club. He
has wisdom In keeping with his seri
ous nppearancc. He traded Bristol
Lord for Inflelder Rath, nnd the Clove
land club already Is sending Rath to
the minors. If you want to see the
wloe managers of the American league
back up, watch them when C. Mnck
offers n trade.

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year opoiu with a deluge of now mixed paints. A con

A BAD LIVER.
A celebrated English authority once
said, " The liver is the direct cause of nine
tenths of the Ills that flesh Is heir to." It
is the largest gland In the body. The blood
must pass through tho liver many times in
an hour. When your liver Is out of order
you will have pains or uneasiness In tho
right side, or a dull aching under the shoul
der blade. The complexion becomes sal
low, your appetite Is impaired, your bowels
inactive; whllo headaches, dizziness and
bad feelings are your dally experience.
In all such cases almost Instant relief U
afforded by the ue of Smith's Pineapple
and Butternut Pills, which are a marvellous
success in curing all forms of liver com
plaint, including biliousness and jaundice.
They restore an Inactive and torpid liver to
healthy action, regulate the bowels and
clcanso the blood. A week's use of
Smith's Pineapple and Butternut Pills by a
bilious or constipated person will make life
really worth living. They are invaluable
for all stomach, liver and bowel troubles.
