T FOR
COLUMBUS, O., June 3, (Special.)
Unstinted praise for the Taft ad
ministration and the charge that the
people themselves are responsible for
present political evils because they
have not taken an intelligent interest
in the affairs of the government, were
two of the outstanding features of the
address of United States Senator The
odore Burton, temporary chairman of
the gathering, in opening the Repub
lican state convention here this aft
ernoon. Not once during his speech
did Senator Burton refer to Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, who swept the
state in the recent primary election.
When the convention assembled
both the Taft and Roosevelt forces
still claimed to hold the upper hand.
Water Brown, Roosevelt's Ohio man
ager claimed that the former' Presi
dent had gained five additional dele
gates since morning. This, if Brown's
assertion is borne out, would give
Koosevelt 425 delegates, or 47 dele
gates more than necessary to control.
L. C. Laylin, leader of the Taft forces'
also claimed gains, asserting that the
president would have at least 410 del
egates.
First blood was won for Taft iust
before the convention met, when the
state committee by a vote of 19 to 2
seated 11 Taft delegates from Law
rence and Crawford counties. The
Koosevelt men plan to carry tils con
test before the committee on creden
tials.
Resolutions pledging six delegates-at-large
for President Taft, and also
endorsing the Taft administration,
were prepared by Warren Haltting.
No resolutions have yet been prepar
ed by the Roosevelt leaders, but if
they secure control Roosevelt will be
endorsed.
Charles D. Hilles, secretary of Pres
ident Taft, is here and is acting in an
' advisory capacity to the Taft leaders.
Committeeman Fred Bader of the
state central committee, an out and
out Taft man, declared that a canvass
showed President Taft had a majority
of 20 delegates.
LARGE AUTO PARTY
NEAR TO HT. HOOD
A party of this, city went to the
Toll Gate near Government Camp
Sunday, the day being an ideal one
for the trip. The party left about 8
o'clock in the morning and returned
home at 9 "o'clock in the evening. A
stop was made at Rhododendron Inn.
There were fifty automobile parties
at the inn. The Oregon City party
was composed of Mr. and Mrs. E. J.
Daulton and two daughters, Misses
Helen and Bess, Mr. and Mrs. M. D.
Latourette and son, Mr. and Mrs. W.
R. Logus, and Mrs. William Sheahan
and family, Miss Zida Goldsmith, Mfes
Cis Pratt, Miss Clothilda Ripzynski,
and Ralph Parker. Joseph Sbeahan
and Ralph Parker made the trip by
motorcycle,, being the first to make
the trip on a motorcycle tandem this
season. The roads for automobfling
in that part of the country are fairly
good, but for motorcycling they are
too rough. The boys made good
time, but were forced to push their
motorcycles about two miles.
The Clackamas County Automobile
Club is arranging a trip to Govern
ment camp in the near future.

PORULAND, June 3, (Special.)
Frank Dillon and his Los Angeles
baseball club will make their 1912 de
but on the Portland baseball lot to
morrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock
when they face the cellar champions
in the first of a series of six games.
The game will be called one half
hour later than usual, owing to the
late arrival of the Angels who are
coming from Los Angeles. This is an
unusual happening in the Pacific
Coast circuit. Most of the teams come
directly from San Francisco or Sacra
mento but the long 1200 mile trip
will cause thirty minutes' delay in
starting tomorrow's game.
The Anges are up and fighting in
the race and Dillon has a club which
will be a contender for the pennant
His. men are all snappy ball players
and everyone of them, is playing the
game of their life.
Several new men grace the Los An
geles lineup and the sensation oF'the
club is Berger, the shortstop secured
from the White Sox." He is hitting
the ball at a terriffic clip and putting
up a great fielding game.
Fans are at a. loss to understand the
Beavers. They seem . unable to get
out of that cellar position for Any
length of time. Just, when they look
as though they might take a brace
and get away to a good start they lose
again and flop back into the cellar,
One of the most wretched pieces of
baseball fielding ever seen on the lo
cal orchard has been that of Artie
Krueger. For some unknown reason
he is unable to stop a ball hit on the
ground. ' Singles knocked to center
field have eluded his mitts and rolled
to the fence, allowing most of - the
runs made off the Beavers to score
through that method of ball playing.

DANNY LONG RESIGNS
AS SEAL'S MANAGER
SAN FRANCISCO, June 3. Dan W.
Long resigned three days ago as man
ager of the San Francisco Club of the
Pacific Coast league. This fact be
came known here today with the an
nouncement that "Bill" Reidy, former
ly manager of the Oakland team, had
been appointed manager of the San
Francisco Club.
A newspaper attack recently was
launched against Long, the charge
having been made that disagreements
between Long and Captain Mohler,
prevented the development of af win
ning team.- Long, who is a court
stenographer in Judge Welter's Itourt
was manager of the San Francisco
Club seven years, and in that time
produced one winning team. He was
appointed to the leadership of the San
Francisco Club when J. Cal Ewihg
and Frank M. Ish acquired control of
the club from Henry Harris, a local
spnrting man
Reidy is a former big league player
and a famous ballplayer, having been
one of Connie Mack's stars. He took
the Oakand team in the middle of a
losing season in 1910 and brought it
almost to first place, gathering dur
ing the year of his management the
nucleus of the present topnotch ag
gregation. He was followed last year
by Harry Wolverton who carried out
Reidy's general plan of organization.
Reidy was at the Paso Robles train
ing camp this season and aided in
coaching the San Francisco players.
He left for Los Angeles last nigHt to
assume the management of the San
Francisco Club. Frank Ish confirmed
today the news of Long's resignation
and Reidy's .appointment
