FIRST HEAT
Won By the Machine In Pri-
mary Suit.
Case Goes Up to the Court Of
Appeals at Once For
Decision.

Frankfort, Jan. 7.-Circuit Judge
Cantrill yesterday refused to grant
an injunction to restrain the hold
ing of State primary and dis
missed the petition of Committee
man Meacham. The attorneys for
Mr.. Meacham asked for an appeal,
which was granted, Mr.. Meacham.
says the case will be taken to the
Court of Appeals and that other
suits probably will be fled in diff
ferent parts of the State by candi-
dates who oppose the primary. The
Democratic Executive Committee
will meet in a few days to hear the
report of its subcommittee and to
make arrangements for the pri-
mary which can now be made, I'M
less the higher court reverses the
case and reinstates the Injunction.
Mr.. w. M. Reed, of Paducah, of
counsel for Mr., Meacham, led off in
the argument. He charged that the
State Executive Committee had abb
solutely no authority for it's action
as to a State primary. He said
that the committee was not alone
the governing authority of the Dem
ocratic party, but only the State
Central and Executive Committees
assembled together, He quoted
from the Democratic party law the
authority given the State Executive
Committee only to fix the time and
place" of holding State conventions,
and the further authority to county
and district committees to '.6x the
time, place and manner" of making
nominations, to show that there is
nothing IN the party law authoriz
ing the committee 10 call the pri-
mary The speaker urged, in dis.
GUESSING the jurisdiction of the court,
that even though no property right
be affected in homeopathic or
ganization, a court of equity has
authority to interfere 10 protect the
rights of a member against trans
gression of the rules of the organi-
cation by other of its members. He
claimed that Mr.. Meacham, the
plaintiff, has pecuniary interest
in the primary proposed to be held.
He said there was primarily a liza
bility on sthe members of the State
Executive Committee for the holding
of the primary, and that unless the
committee should be able to coerce
enough money from candidates de-
string to enter to pay the expenses
theImembers of the committee would |
be liable.
Judge w. S. Pryor for the defend
ants and Mr.. Jno. w. Ray for the
plaintiff next spoke and Mr.. Nc
Ouown closed for the defendants.
Judge J. D. White has been added
to the counsel for the plaintiff and
will argue the case before the Court
Of Appeals.

PERHAPS RED HAT FOR RYAN.
Pope Plus May Make Archbishop Of
Philadelphia Cardinal.

Reports have been received from Rome.
according to Philadelphia dispatches. that
Archbishop Ryan may be the new Ameri-
can cardinal.
The Philadelphia prelate is being strongly
recommended for the honor. and he now
seems to be the candidate most favored by
Pope Plus.
Little Is known at Philadelphia concern
ing the likelihood Of the archbishop's eleva-
ton. but the report Of his being favored by
the Vatican has aroused general interest
and enthusiasm. as Catholics throughout
the diocese are Of one mind as to his abA-
ity and fitness for the honor.
When Pope Plus assembled his throne It
was generally conceded that one OF his
earliest acts would be the creation OF q
new American cardinal Archbishop Ire
lands name was the one most prominently
mentioned. BY many. in fact. It was
thought that the red hat was as good as
bestowed.
strong objections have been urged against
the st. Paul prelate. both from Italy and
America. The objections were based on the
policy OF the appointment and did not call
into question the archbishops worth as
churchman or man.
Archbishop Ireland.s name was not the
only one mentioned. and among others was
Archbishop Ryan's. The mention was at
first regarded more in the light OF we'll
merited compliment. as 1t was not thought
that he was more than a possibility.
With the growth Of the objections against
Archbishop Ireland the Philadelphia pre-
late's fitness has been more and more rec
Ognized until now he is. according to ad-
vices from Rome. leading candidate.

TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP.
Weather Conditions May Help Clothie
Defeat Dohertv.

Americas chances Of retaining the ten
mis- championship In the singles have been
materially frightened by the postponement
OF the contest Of the final match between
Harry L. Doherty, the champion OF Eng
land. and William J. Clothier, the Harvard
giant. At the time that the match was to
be put on the Casino court at Newport
yesterday morning rain fell in torrents and
compelled the early spectators to seek
shelter and the players to delay their ap-
pearance.
After waiting some time the committee
announced that the great match would not
be played until today. This caused much
1ubllatton among the American followers
OF the sport, for ClOthier has had to play a
ment while the little Briton Is comparative
ly fresh, as he has had all the best of the
draw from the start. and since last Friday
- not been called upon to play a COM
petition, for his match against the crippled
Carleton Monday did not even amount to
good practice for him.
Then the close and damp weather does
not suit the Englishman at ALL and the
DOhertyS. with some seriousness said yes
terday that the good fortune that had been
theirs since their arrival In this country
appeared to be deserving them at the time
they were most keen to win For beyond
all the hOnorS that they have gained the
English players cOvet the American title
in the singles. A court surface somewhat
soft from the rain will also help Clothier's
game today and bring him against the
Englishman on even terms.

Taking into consideration the excellent
corps of twirlers in the Church Base Ball
| League. the work of the batters during the
season just closed shows there is some
splendid sticking timber In the league, the
large number of players over the 400 and
| 800 mark being the more notable on ac-
count of the foul-strike rule which was
| adopted in the Church League and which
has played such havoc with the sluggers
in the big leagues, particularly the Ameri-
can.
Early in the season the leadership in bat
ting changed with almost every game. but
Woodward. one Of the smallest players in
the league. gradually drew away from the
bunch. although Kennedy. BieIaski, Rea.
Ballenger and others drew up closely at
times
Then Harding got in the game, and by
hard and steady hitting forged well toward
the front. and finally passed Woodward,
who was compelled to quit the game owing
to an injury received while taking them in
behind the bat
Hardings lead was Of short duration. as
Jones and then King both of Fourth. took
the lead. Jones soon fell back into the
ruck, but King kept plugging out safeties
until he had an apparently overwhelming
lead. Harding. however. kept everla stfngly
until with one game each for Charley and
Pop to play their averages were respective
ly. .4S8 and .449. Fourth could not better
It's standing by victory but King loves
the game too well to stay out Of 1t and
showed his pluck by going in the game
He failed to connect safely and his average
tumbled to $50 even. 1t was I'D to Pop
Harding then. and in the last game of the
season he turned the trick by hitting at
cup or 800. pulling his average up from
40 to .451
the ash all season. but his average suffered
through three of Sixths games being pro-
tested Both Harding and King have had
easy picking In some Of their games but
BaIlenger has been up against only the
st1nest pitching propositions in the league
which makes his record a very crodIteh,n
one.
Following is the list of batting averages
OF those who have played six or more
games. which shows twenty-sfx PLAYERS .YOo
or better. WV
OF these Gunton and Temple each has
seven; Sixth and Fourth five each. with
calvary and Wesley bringing up the rear
with one each. AS stated previously Rea
