WHO THEY WILL BE
No one who has followed the tread of
political event." was at all surprised at
Mr. Bryan's recent announcement that
he would again be a candidate for the
presidency. A keen and cultured poli
tician this man Bryan. He knows that
It Is all important that a candidacy be
sprung at the right time, and he could
not bave cboeen a more opportune mo
ment to mate bis declaration of being
willing to again go before the people.
The democrats have uo one on whom
they can unite for a standard 'jearer
aud, for that matter, neither bave the
republicans. Taft is considered a^ a
jolte aud Fslrbauks is impossible. Look
lug at the field from a distance the con
clusion forces itself upon those who
have watched the progress of the skirm
ishes which always come before the big
conventions that Bryan, because the
democrats have no other candidate, and
iUwsevelt. because it is doubtful if he
caa e?cjp? being nominated by the con
vention, whether or not he wants it,
will be the opposing candidates.
Shrewd campaigner that he is. it is
bard to see where Mr. Bryan tigures
he will stand any show, nnless he is
foolish enough to believe that by mak
ing this the third time that he has bees
before the p^ple he will win under
the old saw that there Is luck in odd
numbers.
At the recent meeting of the tiki in
Philadelphia resolutions were reported
favoring a special committee for the
preservation of the eU anil doic? away
with the teeth of the animal 3$ an emb
ol the order.
Past Kialted Kuler Melvin of Cali
fornia, in a spirited >peech favored the
formation of a committee to that end.
Members from Wyoming, Oregon and
other western state? opposed the meas
ure, contending that the pulling of ela
teeth caused no pain and that the ani
ma! was not killed in large numbers, as
only tourists and amateur haulers
bunted the animal but the resolution
was passed by a larre majority.
The City of Mexico Hearld vary
truthfully gets off the following: "Those
who pride themselves on always going
in for "plain speaking" seem to thiuk
that the only kind of things they ueed
be candid about are the unpleasant
ones: they would consider it "weak" or
Insincere to be equally candid in the
telling of pleasant truths.
Colonel Brvau has discovered the
little house in which he wa* born. He
also, by his recent declaration asserting
that he wou'd run for the presidency,
has evidently discovered the large
White House in which he wou'd like to
live.
Then again, of course, "Colonel'
Sutherland. "Who owns Urge mining
interests in Alaska" may have his
friends come forward and advance the
plea that he did not know lie was
loaded.
A stray dog walked into the U nite
Housn yard the other day and licked
tbe President's pet bull pup. If Mr.
Harriman hears uf this he will likely
adopt tbe stray dog.
Cordova Alaskan: We believe it was
Nat Goodwin who said that when he
found there was danger of being ruined
by wine, women and song, to cut out
the song.
Prom the rows that are dailv taking
place among its members it now looks
as If the Peace congress will get along
all rignt if they refrain fiom in any
manner discussing war.
From the way things are stacking up
for him, it begins to look as if Secretary
Taft would find tbe race for the presi
dency one of the greatest anti-fat rem
edies that he ever ran up against.

IfS Mitt I
OR MR
Peary Will Sail North
ward For The
Last Time
N'ew York, Aug. 5? Commander
Robert E. I'eary, who practically has
completed arrangements for his fifth
dash for the north pole, it was said to
day, has determined to succeed this
time or give up the que?t forever.
Yet he ha* extreme confidence that
this time be Till place the American
ring at the magnetic point.
I Vary hopes to sail for the north
within ten days. Supplies are golnt;
aboard the Koosrvelt and her crew of
fishermeu have been asked to report.
The last lime he succeeded in getting
within 174 miles of the goal and then
was forced to turn back.
" When I leave th$ ship/' be said,
"I will strike westward In the dash
across the i>olar basin. The drift of
tbe ice is to '.he eastward, which was
one of the Important things I discover
ed on the lust voyage. It will carry
me to the pole. Heretofore tbe geuer
a! impression of explorers was that the
ice drift was westward, but we found It
just the reverse.
' I think my course will carry me di
rectly to the pole. Then I m?an to
strike directly for thr north coa*t of
Greenland, from which It will bo only
a few miles across the channel to tbe
north shore of Grant I .and. where
the 1'woosevelt will be in her winter
ijuarters."
When be steams out of the Kast River
Peary will sail directly for North Sid
ney. There he will pick up his Eski
mo men and women and his dogs. He
will take on his last supply of coal at
Ktah. and after leaving that point be
will be entirely cut off from communi
cation with thf rest of tbe world.

II DELAYED STEAL ]
Scientific Baseball Trick De
scribed by Expert Murnane.
RUNNER TAKES WIDE LEAD.
"A Wide Awake Lot of Players on the
Bases Can Defeat a Team of Slug
gers." Says the Famous Veteran
Critic.
By TIM MURNANE.
The delayed steal was worked last
season as never liefore until wlth'sev
eral le.uns base running heeame tine
of the most important parts of tlu>
game, ami It required a clever en teller
lo stop it even with sharp, aeeurate
throwing.
Ever on tlie alert, tlie runner would
lake the lluiit of uroitml oil' lirst. A
throw to tirs t wouM see hiui off for
secoud. where he would heat the throw
live times out of six.
Then, again, the runner would hold
Ills ground until the eniclicr had start
ed tile halt hack t > the pi teller, when
ond baseman and slwrtsti'o were play
ing wide and iN -p. it v. a; ;i raee for
the base, with the pitcher hesitating as
to who Would take the bail, with tlie
chances all in favor of the runner land

iu startiug was sure to throw off .

ii ml while tin- Ini sen n'li were sizing i.p
the situation tlie base runners we;
making grotiud oil either <>r bi>tli ends
of the play.
A wide awake lot of Havers ou tli
bases, willing tn take a ehanee, will
defeat a team of slugfcers in a season's
play. Base minting Is the purest s. i
enee of the came ami the most pi<
turesi;u<: department.
The double steal, the delayed ste.
a ud the steal when the hit t ilK is li'/iii
is a hard game to beat mid especially
so if the throwing Is not above t':e
average.
W'ltli lutse runners for opponents t!
strongest teams will have to keep a
sharp lookout, for a line base runner is
more dreaded when he comes to the
bat than the heaviest slugger ill tin
bust uess.
Base runuiug has been overlooked by
too many baseball managers of the
present time.
TENNEY'S CLEVER TRICK.
Boston National Captain Has a Scheme
to Block Sacrifice Hit.
Fred Tenr.cy and his Boston Nation
al players have developed u play that
needs looking Into nud before the sea
sou Is over will l>e used by every club
lu the country. This play blocks the
sacrifice, something almost impossible
under the old t no lies.
With u ruuner on second and lirst
and no ouc out, the batter's play is to
sacrifice and move both men up a
base. As soon as the ball I- bunted
toward thlnl the third baseman rushes
for the ball, aud at the saute time the
shortstop digs out for third base. In
stead of throwing to first, the usual
move, the third baseman turns about
and throws to the shortstop, who has
covered the third bag.
As the ruuner doesu't need to be
touched. It makes the play sure and
easy for the umpire to decide.
With the play properly completed
there are still two on bases and one
out, :vlth the runners stationary, as
before.
'I euney Is given credit for thinking
this piay out. aud it Is a peach.
The Boston club has played it twice,
once lu Philadelphia and again at
Boston, and in each Instance the op
posing team was duuifounded by the
ease with which It wns worked.
