Each member of the committee was handed a sheet of paper on which were more than sixty queer looking voting marks, and every one of them might furnish the basis for a contest if the Saxe bill became law. Saxe bill provides that no ballot shall be declared void because of the Irregularity of the cross mark: and it strikes out the word "single" on another part of the law providing that only a single cross mark may be used as a rotins mark. "If the door is to be opened to all sorts of irregular marks as provided in this bill," said Mr.

Bard, "it will be hard to decide between ballots are innocently irregular and those that are marked for secret identification and represent purchased votes."

Pitcher Nagle, of the New York Nationals, has been purchased by the Stars. Nagle pitched for Elmira last year and ranked fourth among the State League twirlers Ed Reulbach Ed Ruelbach, of Chicago, the hefty righthander who is winning games right along for Frank Chance. Renlbach is the logical successe to Orval Overall and seems about to step into that gentle man's shoes. Reulbach is taking better care of himself this year than heretofore, and can not say "physical condition" when he is making excuses, as he is prime shape. He has mastered the "fadeaway" of Christy Mathewson, SO they say, but it has not yet been tried by him on the firing line, so it is safe to presume that he cannot control the elusive delivery as can the redoubtable Matty, But Ruelbach, with his lithe physique and more than average head, ought to be able to get it under his wing if he will just persist.

The lop-sided victory of the Liberty over the Concords last Sunday was ample proof that the Rutz aggregation was again in the deld with what is considered by a majority of baseball fans in the city as the fastest semi- pro team to be found in this section of the state. All the men have bad several years' experience in their posttions and the fact that they have played together for some time wakes them egpecially formidable. The All-Rochesters are sure to make Buonomo'8 Birds travel a fast pace to win. 95 the team has shown its class on several occasions.

The aggregation la made up largely of college players and they can alwave be depended on to give the best of them a run for their money. It has not been decided by the manager of the All-Rochesters who will be the pitcher to face the Libertys, bat two clever twirlers are available. either one of whom is capable of good work in the box. Crown will be the catcher. He is there with the head stuff as well as a good wing and it is ante bet that Rutz's Rabbits will not run wild on the sacks as they did last Sunday The All Rochesters will present novelty in the line of a K-infield, with Koney ou first.

Knabe at second. Knight at short and Killifer on third. The combination should be able to knock down most anything shoved at them by the opposing slap stick artists. The pasture outfit will be inade up of Doctor in left. Denio in center and Dante in right.
