ONE r Il FOR PRESIDENT

"The oue-term idea for the presi-
dency recently suggested by Judge
Parker has been the view by not a
few prominent men for a number of
years. remarked Major w. J. Cam
eron last night.
cit is strictly a democratic idea
and ought to be pushed along. some
years ago / was travelling with the
late Gen. John B. Gorden and in the
course. of conversation he said the
president of the United States should
be elected for aterm of six years and
not be allowed to succeed himself;
that upon the retirment Of each pres
ident he should be made a lifetime
senator from the nation atlarge, and
in this way valuable and experienced
service would be afforded the nation,
''The idea struck me as a good
one."

WAKING UP.

The dispatches indicate that Judge
Parker and the national leaders OF
the party realize the necessity of put
ting more ginger into the campaign.
It is intimated that Judge Parker,
Grover Cleveland and William J.
Bryan will make speeches in doubt
full states.
This is a good omen. The demo-
cras can win this year only by a
vigorous campaign. Desultory firing
will not suffice.
It must be a fight straight from the
shoulder and with no giving away
anywhere along the line.
This, it seems, Judge Parker and
the national committee now realize,
and more life and vim may be ex-
pected from this time forward.
Judge Parker is at bottom a man
of fine common sense and excellent
political judgment, and he has prob
ably realized that a front porch cam
paign is not the most effective that
can be made this year.

BASEBALL Stars OF
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO

At New York the other day the fans be-
gan to compare the Boston champions with
the stars of years ago.
Said Jake Morse: 1.-The general average
of ball playing may have improved in the
last fifteen years, but there are no indi-
vidual players on the diamond now equal
to those of the past. There is not at the
present day-and l don't believe there ever
will be again-a catcher who can hold a
candle to dear old Buck Ewing In gem
eral all-around playing l consider Ewing
the greatest player who ever wore a uni
form.
1.-The all-star nine of fifteen years ago
would probably have been made up as fol-
lows: Catcher, Ewing; pitcher, KeeTe; first
base, Brouthers; second base, Dunlap; third
base, Denny; shortstop, Ward; outfield,
Thompson, Kelly and Gore.
Take the best three players in every
position fifteen years ago and / don't be-
lieve IL would be possible 10 find their
EQUALS to-day. For instance, for the
catchers we would have Ewing. Bennett
and Kelly: pitchers. Clarkson. Keefe and
Radbourne; first base, Brouthers. Common
and Arson; second base, Dunlap. Richard
son and Pfeffer: third base, Denny, Burns
and White; shortstop, Ward, Glasscock and
Williamson; left field, Richardson (Hardie),
Herman and O'Rourke (the two latter used
TO play left field for the New Yorks); CEN
ter field, Gore, Hines and Sunday; right
field, Thompson. Ryan and Van Haltren."

4 QUAKER KNOCK.

knock has come from Philadelphia that
Is 10 be taken with a bag of salt Manager
Hugh Duffy, of the Philadelphia team, has
started a sensation by declaring that the
Pittsburg team, three times a pennant WIN
ner. is playing possum and laying down,
so as TO make a race later In the season
He made a statement after his team had
trimmed the Pirates twice, and further ex-
nressed himself that the champions cannot
only win about when they please. but In
snite of their bad start this year would
win the pennant again.
..,ralk about Pittsburg having poor
team this year. said Duffy. lit Is the
same champion team this year that 1t was
last. think ii can beat almost any team In
the country. and it is mighty queer that 1T
has lost so many games this year. 1t Is
nv opinion that it is playing possum and
will win its fourth pennant this year"
The opinion is not given much credence,
and Barney Dreyfuss says that 1T was so
absurd that it was not worth reply.
Those who know thing or two about
baseball say that there is not only no logi-
cal motive for such an action. but that 1t
would be impossible of execution on ac-
count of the large number OF players that
would have to be taken into the deal.

HORSES THAT COMPARE

says an exchange. Both OF these were high
lass horses. Kinley Mack proved his quail
ity when he won the Brooklyn and Suburban
from the best that could be picked from the
stables. Gold Heels. in the Brighton handi-
cap. stood just such a gruelling race as
Irish Lads. He had half dozen horses at
him in that memorable race and stood
them all off to the end. A thoroughbred
warrior is Irish Lad, and ii is only pity
that he did not exist in the years of Kinley
Mack and Gold Heels. just to see which

But all the credit must not go to Irish Lad.
His trainer, John Rogers, deserves some OF
the laurels, for did he not send him to the
post in superb condition. as he has done
scores of others? He did the same with
Gunfire. and with Irish Lad last year, and
1T is no small achievement to fit a horse
for such race the first time out, especially
against some of the others which had been
highly tried and thoroughly seasoned. Few
men can do these things. They are discern
ible only in high places

HOLSTERS DOING WELL.

If the young and old men on the Indian
apolis baseball team continue throughout
the western trip as they have started
there will be no great kick coming. Base
ball fans are the quickest persons on earth
to forgive and forget the poor work of the
players, and IL the team rounds into form
and wins half or more of the remaining
games before returning home everything
will be lovely. Maybe Demontreville has
recovered from his case of dumps and is
willing to go after everything that comes
10 his territory The scores from the North
west show that he has played a pretty fair
game and IL is to be hoped that he Will
continue to do good work at short. 1t Is a
difficult position to fill, and II Demontre-
Vile proves to be the goods he will fill
long-felt want After being unmercifuuy
trounced i'm the first game at st. Paul the
HOLSTERS got revenge by handing out a
coupIe of shut-out games to the Saints and
finished the series with honors even. 1t is
believed that if the Hoosiers get out OK

RIDING ASTRIDE IN
DEAR OLD ENGLAND
Illustrated Sporting News.


The children of royalty are made ac-
quainted with the saddle shortly after
they become able to walk. Little Princess
Victoria of Wales, granddaughter of King
Edward. is no exception to the rule; but
she certainly is as to the method of riding.
She is being taught to ride in what is
known in England as the new style"
which means that the cross seat has been
selected for her. Royal patronage implies
much in England, and the fact that ii ap-
proves of the use of the mans saddle by
women will eventually count for more in
doing away with the side saddle than If
dozen of the most prominent horsewomen
in the country should adopt the former.
Princess victoria's riding costume includes
a killed skirt and a double-breasted REFER,
and when she is astride OF her pony the
skirt hangs neatly on both sides. The
Prince and Princess of Wales are a very
sensible couple, and ii is not at all likely
that they would permit their daughter to
ride astride IL they did not wish it to be
understood that the new fashion of eques-
tration had their hearty approval. Follow
ing so closely on the appearance on Rotten
Row Of the divided skirt, the latter's vogue
Is assured.

The Grand Coup.

The grand coup consists in throwing
away a superfiuous trump. To get rid Of a
trump. either by understanding a trick
already trumped by your partner. or by
trumping a trick which he has won. or
which you know he may win. is to play the
grand coup.
The opportunity for playing this coup is
often missed. A player should always be
on the lookout for ii when he has five
trumps, especially If a trump is led to his
right.
1t is true you often hnd yourself with a
superfiuous trump on the same principle
that you often have a high card that you
must throw away in order to avoid taking
the lead.
1t Is particularly beautiful when antici-
pated several tricks In advance and the
superhuous strength got rid OF at the
earliest opportunity, for. il you miss a
chance to part with the unnecessary trump,
you may ind no other. You must not for

which you will be forced to take the lead,
