J— i i THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER. ATHLETICS RELEASE STERLING PITCHER Harry Krause, Southpaw, Sent to Toledo. ' When Connfe Mack sent Pitcher Harry Krause down to Toledo the wise ones ghook their heads sagely and whispered that the Athletics are done as pennant contenders for this year at least. They looked on the re- lease of Krause as a confession of the weakness of Mack’s pitching staff, the first break in his line of veterans. It means that Mack had resolved to depend on newcomers and take a long chance. Krause was the American league sensation In 1909, but seemed BALL GAME VERY UNCERTAIN Blil Dahlen Gets Fourteen Chances at 8hort, While Jack Glasscock Dldn’t Have One. The uncertainties of baseball were phown in a game that St. Louls and Chicago played on May 7, 1895. Bill Dahlen, playing shortstop for the Cubs, had and accepted 14 chances at bis position. Johnny Glasscock at Bill Dahlen.” phort for the Browns did not have a phance during the entire nine innings ! play. Dahlen was afterwards released to fhe Boston National league team and fnally landed as manager of the Brooklyns, the position he now occu- ples. - . Cause of Many Injuries. This i8 the year 1912.

Mr. Flinn was particularly emphatic when he stated to Colonel Roosevelt that there would be smart breaks in these delegations from Taft to Roos- evelt. Mr. Flinn added that he knew whereof he spoke. Mr. Perkins ad- ded “the Taft men are beaten now and they know it,” F Senator Borah, in a personal con- versation with Colonel Roosevelt, said “our Taft friends are banking on 555 votes on Tuesday. I am cer- tain that by that time they will not have that number.” Timothy L. Woodruff of Kings county said to a number of friends today, “while I am for Taft, I at- tended the meeting of the national committee and heard the decision on the Texas contests. I believe that Colonel Roosevelt will sweep this con- vention off its feet.” Louis F. Payne of Chatham, Colum- bia county, who has attended every Republican convention since 1868, said: “President Taft has got this convention solid by a majority of twenty-gix or thirty votes. The Taft men have gone carefully over their figures. Colonel Roosevelt and his friends will have to get a big bunch of delegates to beat Taft.” Today’s Calendar of Sport.

Although Boston’s pitchers have been going rather poorly of late, the team has been batting and fielding in good style, and Manager Jake Stahl has the players and the Boston pop- ulace with-him in his efforts to con- tribute a winning team. In Cicotte, Hall, O'Brien, Woods, Pape, Boston has a strong quintet of pitchers, and with Carrigan and Nune- maker in the catching department, Stahl 1s also well fortified. The new manager has a strong infield and out- field, and, what 15 more, he has the players working in harmony. “Knuckles” Cicotte, the little twirl- er, is being dubbed the “tough-luck to shoot his entire bolt that year. Never strong, he was ill the next year and though he went better in 1911, could not stand the going as a big league twirler must. This spring he took on weight and believed he would show strength, but when his services were needed most, with Bender lame and Coombs hurt, he failed, and Mack let him go to make room for a desper- ate chance—some new collegian. And that is all Mack seems to have as a pennant hope—a desperntg chance, ~— It seems as if Rube Waddell is about “all {n.” Bert Whaling has been sent back by Cleveland to Seattle.

THEY ARE MUCH INTERESTED Benate Passes BIll For Purchase by Government of Land on South 8lde of Pennsylvania Betwesn | Treasury and Gapitol. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—In a recent article the Intention of a large part of Washing- ton to “move on” the national conven- tions was told about and something was given of the personnel of the “movers.” Added to them should be certainly fifty or sixty members of the foreign legations now on service for_their governments at the oapital of the United States. Never before in the history of this country, it is eaid, has there been such interest on the part of foreigners in a presidential campaign as is the case this year. The members of the national com- mittee of each party have been asked to set aside seats for several forelgn eambasgadors and ministers and for many of the subordinates of the em- bassies and legations. It is known that forelgn ‘governments take a great in- terest in American political affairs and while the thing is not done pub- licly, they are kept informed by their Tepresentatives in this coustry of the various impending political changes and of the probable chances of the candidates, coupled probably with statements as to just what changes in the administration are likely to mean in connection with treaty matters or with the attitude of this government toward foreign governments general- ly. Unele Sam May Buy Land. A Dbill has just passed the senate of the United States appropriating $16, 0004000 to be used by the government for the purchase of all the land lying on the south side of Pennsylvania ave- nue between the treasury building and the capitol. The bill was introduced by Senator Heyburn and it went through the senate quickly. What fts fate In the house will be at this ses- sion no one can tell yet, but eventual- 1y probably it will pass. The government owns already a large part of the land lying between Pennsylvania avenue and the Potomac river, but there is a big section of it bordering on the avenue and extend- ing to the park in which the agricul- tural buildings are situated, which is given over to business, stores, mar- kets, small hotels and lumber yards. It 18 for this section that Mr. Hey- burn’s bill provides the money for pur- chase. For seyeral years attempts have been made to get congress to ap- propriate the money to buy the busi- ness section of Washington south of Pennsylvania avenue between the lim- its named. The fine arts commission has recommended the purchase and now that the senate has passed the bill, the legislation probably will go through. In a few years it is likely that the visitor at the capital on pass- Ing down Pennsylvania avenue from the treasury to the capitol will have on his right a view unbroken save by trees and by fine public buildings, and extending as far as his eyesight ad- mits. Fine Street, Poor Bulldings. Pennsylvania avenue between the treasury and the capitol is a fine broad thoroughfare, but the buildings on it are small and ugly in the main, and except for its breadth and for the fine buildings at either end of the in- cluded part is it not much to look up- on. Visitors here are tremendously disappointed in the avenue and they #ay 0. Thousands of persohs have written to congress urging that the “great national street” be improved snd the improvement suggested in al- most every case has been to remove business entirely from the south side of the thoroughfare and leave it wide open' to the river. Congress has been completely over- phadowed this winter by politics. Bcores of things of national moment have been before the legislators, but it seems that the press and the people in the main have been interested more in what the various candidates were doing to secure their nomination than in what congress was doing in the way of legislation. The work of congress this year has not been of the kind called sensational, but in a good many instances it has been use- Rul to the people. There have been all kinds of investi- gations going on over on Capitol Hill pnd when they started they attracted jmmediate interest and attentionm, but 8 good deal of the interest has.gane and probably will not revive until the subjects are brought up again after the election next November. Attempts have been made to cut down appro- priations in the interest of economy and the debates on this “saving sub- Ject” have been keen and interesting, for while one party has imsisted that th@ cuts were for economy only, the ther party has insisted that the gov- ernment services would be crippled pnd that it was not real economy at all Pension legislation seems to be about the only thing which has at. tracted widespread interest. Of course there are hundreds of thousands of persons in the country who are inter ested in this subject financially and this may account for the closeness with which the pension hllllldon has been rolluwod. at First Sight. ‘No such thing as htl” Why, the idea .
