POLITICS In VIRGINIA.

There is very little interest in
the campaign this Fall, for the
reason that there is no doubt about
the success of Democratic nominees
throughout the State. Then, again,
all politicians are resting up and
recuperating for the Presidential
campaln next year. Hon. Claude
Swanson is quoted as being an as
pirant for the grbernatOrial NOM
ination next year. Governor
Montague may be a candidate for
denomination. There seems to be
no thought that the present viva
voce primary plan will be changed.
In this District Hon. Blackburn
Smith will be returned TO the House
of Delegates by a good vote. His
record in the House, and especially
during the Campbell trial when
he was a member of the Trial
Committed has been very popular
with his constituents and the Bridge
bill will always stand as a monu-
ment to his devotion to the inter
ests of the people of Clarke coun-
ty. We don't believe Mr.. Smith,
political record has any blemish of
which he or his friends need feel
ashamed. Mr.. NJ. J. Fulton will
have a large majority over Mr..
Pritchard for the Senate. In his
case is presented the triumph of
the young man over the old regime.
Eventually the same scene will be
enacted in every county and dis
trict in the State. The younger
generation are coming to the front
and pushing the older men back.
The battle is always to the strong.
and the political battle is no exec D.
ton to the rule. Old institutions
die hard. But in the present time
and advanced state of work of all
kinds and classes, there can be no
ultimate result but the triumph of
youth. We have every respect
and generation for the old men.
but that does not change the face
of the proposition. The world is
calling for youth and strength in
every line, and its call will not be
denied. Today we have the young
est President who has ever filled
the chair. Next year we may
elect one who is even younger than
Mr.. Roosevelt. Our ancestors
fought in both the Revolutionary
and Civil wars, and we revere their
memories as deeply as anyone pos
sibly could, but their way is not
our way. The steps which led to
success in their day do not lead in
that direction today. Young poll
ticians may be called ''precocious. !"
but they represent the advanced
ideas and thoughts of the latest
day. hour and minute. We revere
the old politicians, but that cannot
change the face of affairs. The
young politician, the young work
er, the young thinker, the young
man who has a reputation to make
that is the man the voters are
looking up to today. And we be-
heve Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Fulton
lboth sons of men of the old school
represent this thought in Clarke
county and the Twelfth Senatorial
District.

LAWN TENNIS TOURNEY.
Allen and LIE Roy Winners Of the
METROPOLITAN Doubles,

The championship doubles were decided
yesterday in the lawn tennis tournament
for the Metropolitan titles and trophies on
the courts of the West Side Tennis Club.
New York, in victory for Harry F. Allen
and Robert LIE Roy the Philadelphia-New
York team. who defeated the Harvard-Yale
pair Holcombe Ward and Ross Burchard,
after four sets of brilliant and fast play,
the final score being Go 81, So. Ga.
Such result was entirely unexpected as
the collegians were regarded easily the
foremost pair entered for the champion
ship. However. Ward. who formerly held
the national championship when paired
with Dwight F. Davis. was at times I'M
steady. putting too much chop into his
strokes, with the result that the balls
fight was retarded and fell into the net.
Toward the end of the match Ward
strengthened his play, which became par
ticularly brilliant, but at this stage Bur-
chard failed to support him, and he was
unable to carry the victory alone.
The winning of the championship by AL
len and LIE Roy the latter the young Co
lumbia University expert, was all the more
decisive. as they completed their unfinished
match in the semi-finals. defeating Harold
H. Hackett and Raymond D. Little, re-
spectively the ex-champions of Yale and
Princeton. This was won in three sets. In
only one of which the games went to deuce,
and the last set was won at love.

LADIES AS SPECIAL GUESTS.
Entertainment in Honor of Those Who
Assisted at Pythian Fair.

The members of Mount Vernon Lodge,
No 5, knights of Pythias, gave a most
enjoyable musical and literary entertain
ment last evening at their castle hall, 902
PENNSYLVANIA avenue northwest, in honor of
the ladies who assisted at the booth of that
lodge during the recent Pythian fair. The
program of the occasion far surpassed the
expectations of those who attended for
the sole purpose of being entertained 1t
did not develop single dull number from
the soul-moving overture by the Rebew
orchestra under the dictatorship of Mr..
Henry w. Weber to the tribute which Mr..
Burton T. Doyle paid to woman in present
ing on behalf of the lodge through its COM
mittee. a handsome bouquet to each lady
who acted an auxiliary of that lodge
during the recent Pythian fair.
Besides the overture. the Rebew orches-
ira gave a number of other selections. and
the lady violinists of the orchestra. though
young in years. gave evidence or rare skill
in the use of the instruments.
Mr. Frank H. Hosford. past grand cham
cellor of this domain. made few opening
remarks. full Of wit. humor and kindly SEN
timent; Mrs. Margaret K. Holland sang a
solo which was encored. and, with Miss
Minnie Bayly as accompanist Prof. Arthur
E. Yundt favored the audience with violin
solo, Then Mr.. H. S. Jacobsen recited a
pathetic piece and Mr.. ]. Harry Hanlein
sang an original comic song, and was re-
peatedly encored. Prof. Arthvr E. Yundt
played mandolin and banjo solos with Miss
Minnie Bayly as accompanist. and the
comic song of Mr.. H. X. Shasltleford SO
pleased the audience that he was COM
PEELED to sing another. Mrs. David l.. Bur-
nett's recitation was also enjoyed.
At the conclusion of the musical and lit
erary feature of the occasion Mr.. Burton
T. Doyle. a past chancellor of the lodge and
a well-known attorney of this city. made a
rather happy and appropriate address To
the ladies in whose honor the entertainment
was given. In the course of his address
he paid glowing tribute to woman and her
great work in the world, cOngratulating the
order upon having won the helping hand of
such powerful ally in the accomplishment
of the great work which it's mission COM
prehends. and concluding by presenting on
behalf of the lodge through it's committee
a handsome floral token to each lady who
assisted at Mount Vernon booth during the
recent fair.
Refreshments were served by a committee
which consisted of Willard s. Robbins, p.
c.; Hugh B. Armstrong. p. G.: Joseph r.
Kleindienst, P. c.: Edward M. Kline c. c.,
and Wallace w. Kirby.

Ed Barrow, manager of the Detroit
club, admitted the truth of a story started
in Boston that he put Sandy Ferguson.
a Boston heavyweight, hors de combat In
one informal round. Barrow attended a
boxing contest in the hub and Ferguson
attempted to crowd the stocky manager
out of his seat. After mild protest. which
had no effect BarrowS broke his umbrella
on the fighters head. Ferguson made a
pass which Barrow ducked. The latter then
landed flush on "Sandy's" jaw and the pu-
gilist went to the boards, where the police
got him.
The wonderful playing of the Pittsburg
team has strengthened the belief that that
aggregation will again win the pennant TINS
year, and that without much trouble Fred.
Clarke has much too great ball team to
be beaten out by such teams New York
and Chicago. They have been squirting,
while the Pirates have gone along slowly,
but with telling effect Since returning from
the east the Pirates have lost two games.
and eight of their victories have been shut
outs. This is a record which shows the
teams wonderful strength. and, barring ac-
cident, 1t is hard to believe that they can
be kept from winning the pennant.
Just how much credence may be put in
the story is not known, but in certain Chi
cago base ball circles they are discussing
another Elberfeld dicker. by which the
shortstop is to be transferred to Comfskey
in exchange for George Davis, says the
Detroit News ''Comiskey came to this
city before Griffith got Elberfeld, and tried
to fix up a deal. 1t is now asserted that
he has sent an emisSary to New York to
talk with both Griffith and Davis, and to
effect the transfer. if possible. Chances
are very dubious, even If the story may be
relied upon. Griffith is known to believe
that Davis interest in the horses inter
feres with his ball playing. and Is pretty
well satisfied with Elberfeld. The latter
has no desire to go to Chicago, with Its
raw winds. Tom Daily is willing to go to
Cincinnati only because he gets away from
the lake breeze, with Its effect on his arm.
Elberfeld is no more anxious to take
chances with a dubious wing than was
Daily. With the deals that are being put
through nothing seems impossible But this
one is very improbable"
Reports from the Philippines tell OF the
popularity that base ball has acquired

are largely attended. A six-club league has
been established in the principal city of the
