The local season on the checkerboard
held began this afternoon with game be-
tween st. Johns and the team of marine
officers lately organized. The weather was
much better for foot ball than could have
been expected at this season Of the year, 1t
being cool and bracing. The chances of
victory appeared In favor Of ST. Johns as
an established team, whereas its oppo-
nents are recently organized, and have not
had the benefit of work against a. scrub.
However, there were number of good
players among the scrub, and there was a
good contest. The score was is to in fa-
yor OF st. Johns. The game was called at

FOR EVENING STAR CUP.
Match Between the Washington and
Chevy Chase Golf Clubs.

The first of the series of golf matches
between local clubs for The Evening Star
cup was begun on the Chevy Chase links
this afternoon at o'clock. The match
this afternoon is between the players of
the Chevy Chase and the Washington Golf
Clubs The contest between the clubs this
fall will probably be most spirited, as the
Columbia Golf Club has an excellent
chance of winning the handsome trophy
permanently. The conditions surrounding
the match for this particular cup provide
that the club winning 1t three times shall
be declared to have won it permanently
Columbia has won the cup twice. Chevy
Chase has won it once and won the first
stage of the yearly match in the spring
from Columbia. If Chevy Chase can win
the fall series it will have an excellent
chance for winning the cup finally.
The weather today was good for golf.
Inc wind might have been a little lighter,
but on the Chevy Chase links no matter
which way the wind blows, the player gets
1t from all sides before the game finishes,
SO that 1t is as fair for one as for the other
The cool, bracing air made the play a most
comfortable exercise, and none of those
who followed the players around the links
had reason to feel the GOODNESS of the at
mosphere. This being the first game of the
seasons matches there were numbers of
golf experts on the ground to watch the
agement as their fancy prompted. The
Chevy Chase team shows up as strong as 1t
ever has. One or two of the players do not
seem to have settled down into their regu-
lar game, but it Is believed that little
match play will wear off the rough edges
and bring them to their usual stroke The
Washington team promises to do things this
year, too. 1t is claimed that the Washing
ton golfers are much stronger aggrega-
ton than they have been formerly, and
that they will have something to say in the
cup play. Their team showed up well in
the drive off this afternoon and gave prom
Use Of good play. The two teams playing
today include:
Chevy Chase-A. Horstmann, w. M Gray,
Walter Peter, Morven Thompson, Walter
Iuckerman, G. C. Lafferty, w. p. Comp
ton and Samuel Dalzell
Washington Golf Club-R. e. L. Yellott

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
MILWAUKEE, October 6, 1904.
The supreme court decision of Wednes-
day practically declaring that the ticket
headed by Governor La Toilette as certified
by the state central committee appointed
In 1902. is entitled to designation by the
secretary of state on the official ballot as
the regular republican ticket was like
thunderbolt IN the stalwart camp and a
signal of victory in the camp of the La
Folletteites. Although 1t has cleared the
atmosphere somewhat. it will probably
have material effect on the result in
November, as from the one-sided manner
in which the campaign has been progress
ing II has been evident for some time that
Governor La Toilette will be reelected. de-
spite the breach in his party But the
governor will probably now have a larger
majority.
The decision has placed the stalwarts
where they have been trying to put the
governors adherents. The governor and
his supporters have repeatedly declared
that the decision of the court would have
no effect so far as their campaign is con-
cerned; that the fight would go on until
the people were given another opportunity
10 render verdict at the polls To this the
stalwarts have been replying that If the
supreme court should decide that the stall
wart ticket. headed by s. A. Cook, is me
regular ticket the so-called half breeds
would have to vote for 1t, or by voting
otherwise take themselves out of the
party. Now that the court has rendered a
decision directly to the contrary the stall
warts are saying that the decision will
have no effect whatever: that the fight
will go on. with their ticket On the official
ballot under some designation other than

Cooks Retirement.
). a. Cook, the stalwart candidate hay-
ing repeatedly said that he would retire in
the event of a decision making the La Fol-
lette ticket regular, became a center of
interest Immediately upon the announce
ment of the decision. Today he appeared
and formally withdrew from the race
leaving Gov La Toilette temporarily with
out an opponent. But the stalwarts
promptly secured the consent of ex-Goy.
Edward Scofield, and placed his name at
the head of their ticket. The fight will
therefore go on right merrily. Gov SEQ
held Is political fighter of great deter
mlnation. He Is a bitter opponent of La
roulette, who six years ago waged SO VI
clous a campaign against him during his
run FOR second term that The Scofield vote
was knitted TO the extent of about % 600
Had fighter of the Scofeld type been
nominated by the stalwarts at the outset
the situation would undoubtedly be more
promising for them at the present time
The ex-governor would have been agrees

eourt, whereas Mr.. Cook has permitted tae

campaign to go by default. Gov. La Fol-
lette has been vigorously stumping the
state in his own interest, while the stall
warts have been sitting on the benches
looking toward Madison.
Mr.. Cooks retirement will undoubtedly
send a large number of republicans who
were partially weaned away from La Fol-
letteism back into the half breed camp
Ex-Gov. Scof1eld's vigorous personality will
hold the real stalwarts in line, and thus In
directly assist ex-Gov. George W. Peck, the
democratic candidate. Many stalwarts will
undoubtedly vote for Peck. But Gov. Peck
is not sufficiently radical on the railway
and primary election issues for thousands
of voters of his own party, and this dis
atisf1ed element, which Is strong enough
to be spoken Of as the La Toilette democ
racy, will cast its ballots for Gov. La Fol-
lette.
Undoing of the Stalwarts.
Insincerity on the railroad and primary
election issues has been the undoing of the
stalwarts, and lukewarmness on the same
issues on the part of Gov. Peck is the rea-
son why he lacks the enthusiastic support
of certain democrats. The stalwarts adopt
ed what were practically La Toilette plat
forms for the campaigns Oh 1900 and 1902
and then baked on the adoption of railroad
and election reforms in the legislature.
Had the stalwarts made a consistent at
tempt to carry out their platform promises
IN these instances, they would probably
have been able to defeat the governor this
time because of the general prejudice
against third terms. In view Of this preju-
dice. and the anti-third term play that has
been part of the campaign against Gov.
La Toilette, the outcome Of the shuttle of
the political cards Is decidedly amusing All
the candidates have gubernatortal records
of two terms. and the campaign Is there
fore third-term struggle all around.
The developments of the coming four
weeks will be interesting but 1t is hardly
probable that they will change the outlook
to any great extent. Unprejudiced judges
are now satisfied that the ticket headed by
Gov. La Toilette will be elected. and that
the state will give its electoral vote to
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. There Is some
talk of further legal proceedings to compel
the secretary of state to put the names of
the republican electors on both tickets, but
1t is probably mere vaporing.

The Times Union of Jacksonville,
says Cad d. Bryan, Jr., now In Jail

Committee of Florida in Jacksonville
last Saturday, holding the proxy of
Col. Clark Knight, the Hills

In explanation of Bryan's having a

Tampa Tribune as follows:
Some comment was caused IN the
city yesterday when it became known
that Hillsborough county's proxy at
the State Committee meeting at Jack
sonville Saturday was held by Cad D.
Bryan, Jr., the we'll known sporting
man.
Clarke Knight is the Hillsborough
county member of the committee, but
he found 1t impossible to attend the
meeting, owing to the absence Of his
law partner, Col. John p. Wall. Mr..
knight gave the proxy to Editor Frank
Walpole of Manatee, and asked him
to hand II to some suitable person at
Jacksonville. SO Mr.. Bryan evidently
got the proxy from Editor Walpole

Pneumonia in the head" is a new
disease that came to light yesterday
during lunacy trial at the county

said she had been suffering with the
disease for several months, when the
Lord took pity on her and sent down
a good spirit to cure her. This spirit
went to work with a will and in a
short time the peculiar disease was
entirely cured and all effects gone.
Then the good spirits remained with
her, dwelling in her chest.
Recently, she said, evil spirit de-

of his resting place and he, too, en-

the good spirit and the evil spirit have
