son does not mean to say that he Will
indorse the democratic party. He
will undoubtedly stand with the rest
of us at Springfield, urging the adop-
ton of the club system and the nomi-
nation of straight ticket whether
Air. Hearst is nominated or not. Our
Endorsement OF MIR. Hearst would
weaken rather than strengthen him.
| do not think he asks it or will ask It.
But he has never misrepresented or
abused us and our principles, and on
the other hand has spread them by
far more effectively than We have
done ourselves, and we should recog-
nize this splendid service by at least
treating him with respect, and grant
ing him the sincerity he has shown by
his whole life's work, which we can
do without sacrificing a single pIin-
ciple, or pursuing any other course
than the one we have already marked
out-''in the middle of the road" IL
Mr. Hearst is nominated our vote Will
be very small; if he is defeated it will
be large But if he is elected preoi-
dent OF the United States, while his
hands will be tied, our own principles
will get wonderful advance at his
hands, even though he be elected with
out our votes. 10 A. PARKER.

my satisfaction, found him sleeping

Doctor he said. I'm glad to see

distressing dream that must have last

most horribly sounding bells and rang
them in my ears, while I hadn't power
to move or speak to him I suffered

SAME OLD TALE,
SAME OLD SCORE
Seattle Partakes of Fifth
Daily Victory and Final
Result Happens as Usual

This old chestnut of 1 to l score
is making the fans mad, but it goes
every day at Recreation Park and you
can't stop it. When Seattle made four
runs yesterday they quit and then let
San Francisco make one SO that the
tradition would hold good. But the
fans want something different. Each
one hopes that it will be 40 to 1 to-
day.
It's getting mOnotonous, but still il
happens right along. The Siwashes GEL
ebrated their fifth victory yesterday
without a break or a hitch. They did
not have to try at that. Everything
came easy for them. II hits did not
bring in the runs errors helped out, so
they came all the same and just about
as often as the northern stars would
have them.
Even though Jimmy Whalen twirled
double distilled ball that would win
for anybody's ball team, he could not
get away with the game. Errors let
most of the TALES arrive, and hits
made them come if the errors were not
strong enough to go through. The ma

At that they suffered some from
hard luck in the seventh, when VALID
ron banged to right and Hide walked
Meany sacrificed EN- both along the
route. Cy Townsend then cut loose a
line drive that would have torn hole
through the fence had not Halls anat-
omy doomed up and forced the sphere
to carom into Mothers mitts. Waldron
was extinguished at the pan, and the
next man died easy.
A big league trick which old Van
pulled off in the third put the Siwashes
on the board. The patriarch had singled
and advanced on Mothers sacrifice.
Delehanty fouled to Cy Townsend. and
Cy was so elated over coping the BAH
that he paraded UP and down in front
of the sun gods, swelling up and
making high signs at himself
In the meantime old Van was hot
footing it to third base, and he slid in
cleverly amid the cheers of the fans
and the chagrin of the Lodi kid. Frisk
beat out a skinny bingle to short,
but it was just good enough to put
Van over the pan with the initial run.
The score was l UP till the eighth,
when the Siwashes proceeded to break
it UP for fair. Mohler went as far
as second on Twins bad wing to first.
He landed on third when Anderson
wooden-s hoed the next one from Dele
hanty's club. Frisk forced Del at sec
ond, and then he and Mohler pulled
off a double steal. Williams cracked
the leather out of Rabbit MilIer's
reach. and Frisky landed. Old Carlo
pushed double saeker over Hides
head and on this Williams scooted in.

LONG AUTO RUN
IS POSTPONED
Chauffeurs Decide to Defer
Perilous Journey to Los
Angeles Till Later Date
TRIALS AT DEL MONTE
Annual Race Meet of the
Motorists Will Commence
at Resort OIL August 26

The endurance run proposed to be
made jointly by the Automobile Club
of California and of Southern Califor-
mia has been postponed. The plan
was for the San Francisco automo-
bilists to make the trip to Los Angeles
and back, and for the southern motor
lists to travel from Los Angeles to San
Francisco and back.
Last month L. Z. Lowe, chairman of
the executive committee Of the Auto
mobile Club Of California, made an ex
perimental trip from San Francisco to
Los Angeles, stopping over night at
Salinas, San Luis Obispo and Santa
Barbara. He observed the condition OF
the roads and the grades carefully,
making many observations with the
gradometer and measuring the distance
travelled with an odometer The trip
was made under conditions as nearly as
possible the same as those of the pro-
posed endurance run. A total distance
of 506% miles was covered in an
elapsed time of IS hours is minutes. or,
deducting the time consumed in stops
for the purpose of making observa tons,
records and photographs. in corrected
time of 81 hours so minutes, the time
spent in controls not being reckoned in
either total The average number of
miles per hour of elapsed time was
I'LL, and per hour of running time
1892 The car carried passengers
weighing 620 pounds, $50 pounds of bag
gage and extra parts, without reckon
ing the water and gasoline. AS the
weight to be carried in the endurance
run is eco pounds, l.. p. loves car ex-
ceeded this by ninety pounds. The rea-
son for postponing the joint run is that
the Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornfa fevors the month of September.
The endurance run being out of the
way for the present, the executive
committee of the Automobile Club of
California, will devote its attention to
making arrangements for the annual
run to Del Monte and for the race
meet there. The motorists will start
from San Francisco, Oakland, Ala
media and neighboring places on
Thursday, August %. reaching Del
NJ onte that evening. Those who wish
to break the journey can stop for the
night at San Jose or Gilroy, going on
to Del Monte early on Friday. Races
will be held on the Del Monte track on
Friday and Saturday, August 26 and
81, the programme being brought 70
a close each day early before the air
becomes chilly. On Sunday a trip
around the seventeen-mile drive will
be made and next day the automobile
lists will return to their homes. It is
expected that several motor car own
ers from Los Angeles and other towns
of Southern California will come up
to Del Monte with their machines A
programme of the events is in course
of preparation and will be issued next
week by the racing committee.
