In. the seventh Navasota made
two scores, the only runs made
during the game. Another fea-
ture, and one most commend-
able, was the entire absence of
squabbling.1 These two teams
play splendidly together and all

One of the most interesting
tales coming out of Chicago is
that Taft people have serious de-
signs of Senator Winthrop Mur-
ray Crane of Mass, for the vice
presidential nomination. It
would be one of the strangest
coincidents of politics should
Crane, who has been the main-
stay of the allied opposition to
Taft, be made Taft’s running
mate.
According to the Chicago dis-
patches, it is either the vice

chairmanship of the national

B B. G. Game and Picnic
Another enjoyable affair was
given last evening by the Basket
Ball Girls when they invited
their friends-to their new play-
ing grounds in the City Park.
Two games of basket ball were
played, the “Blue Collars” win-
ning the first game by a score
of 12 to 8; in the second game
the score was 20 to 15 in favor of
(he “White Collars.”
After the game a delightful
lunch was spread on the grass
and was heartily enjoyed by all.
The chaperons, who were Mes-
dames Neal, Perry and Gibbs,
added much pleasure to the oc-
casion by their presence and
valuable assistance rendered the
girls, which was certainly ap-
preciated. Besides the mem-

The “antis” have not yet given
up hope of preventing the nomi-
nation of Bryan, but the anti-
Bryanites may make as woeful a
innings showing at Denver as the amti-
Taftites are making at Chicago.
It is difficult to see how any com-
bination can prevent Bryan’s
nomination, but we get back to
the original proposition that
nothing is sure in politics -until
it.has been accomplished.;
There has . been a lotrof talk
lately that in the event Bryan
discovered his own nomination
impossible he wodld £throw his
influence fo Senator Charles Ah
Culberson of Texas. It un-
doubtedly is true that Bryan
would be as well satisfied with
the nomination of Culberson as
he would be with that of any
man who possibly could supplant
him, but despite the /‘authorita-
tive source” from which the in-
formation is said to have come,
it is open to very serious doubt
whether Mr. Bryan has ser-
iously considered any alterna-
tive to-his own nomination. Why
should he? The opposition lacks
a lot of having demonstrated
that it can control a third of - the
delegates to the Denver conven-
tion. Assured ’of a clear ma-
jority and with the chances
largely in favor of his having
two-thirds on the first ballot,
a man would be the deepest,
darkest, dankest sort of a pessi-
mist who could see anything but
victory before him. Mr. Bryan’S
faults, whatever they may be,
have never included the fault of
pessknism toward his own poli-
tical fortunes. ,. * i

The only explicit statement
made concerning the nature of
Grover Cleveland's illness is that
he is suffering from three physi-
cians. ' '
The theory that there is no
such thing as hydrophobia has
its general acceptance retarded
by the fact that persons still die
from hydrophobia.
