A GREAT GAME.
Bankers VS.. Lawyers at Driving Park
Friday Afternoon.

There will be an exhibition of base
ball at the Driving park, Friday after
noon, between the Bankers and
Lawyers, and there seems to be nc
| reason to doubt that it will be one of
the games OF the season. The Bankers
are now going to form another league
Office-BankerS League and say they
are now going to form another league
with the Lawyers and to do the
same thing to them that they did to the
Clerks-but will not take three games
to do it. They will not change their
aggregation very much from the re-
man kable nine that rolled up the II big
runs with the Clerks. although Charles
| Grover is scheduled to fill one of the
outti, Ill positions. This change is
made not so much because the former
man was not fast enough, but because
| Grover is said to see well after dark.
rs it is in his line to keep his eye out
| for things that happen after dark, and
the Bankers believe they have got a
strong card if the game extends into
| the evening. He is also depended on
to cover lots of ground. T. Johnson
will enter a new field of labor at left.
The Lawyers certainly a great bunch.
and although several of them may not
he depended on to run as fast as kins-
man on the bases it is to be surmised
that they can swat the ball if they can
only connect with it. OF these Nc
Fadden and Williamson are counted on
for several home runs. 1t is also
thought Burleigh ought to he able to
reach all around first in a manner that
will put Nichols to shame. Harrington
will do the twirling and has been
practicing out behind his house on
Bangor street each clear night by
moonlight since the game has been
arranged. There are also some smaller
sized men in the bunch for bunting
and fast base work. which will serve
to balance up the team in good shape.
Among these are Thompson and Fisher,
and these with the middle-sized players
give a combination that ought to win
by all the legal and technical points Of
the game. The lineup will be as fol-
lows: Maher, G.; Harrington, p;

finality from which there is no ap-
peal, upholding the law as perfectly
constitutional and absolutely i'm
pregnable in every respect, as the
World for twelve years constantly
insisted, was due to five judges,
every one of whom is Republican.
"5. The dissenting minority of
the court included every Democratic
Judge of that tribunal, towit: Chief
Justice Fuller, of Illinois; Mr.. Justice
White of Louisiana, and Mr.. Justice
Peckham of New York. All the. e
distinguished Democrats not only
voted against the constitutionality of
the law but pronounced it as a dan
ger to the republic.
"o. Under these circumstances it
does not seen probable that the
Democrats can make great capital
in seeking to monopolize the anti
trust issue and charging the Repub-
lican party with the crime of being
owned body and soul by the trusts.
cit is just as well to record some
plain truths, however unpleasant or
surDrisinp."

Words of Cheer for the Democracv.

1t has been given out to the forlorn
and dropping Democracy that willie
Hearst is loosening up; that he has
been induced to put in few thousands
to open headquarters for the National
Democratic clubs. The hungry know
well that this means that Hearst as
pires to be candidate again, but they
are not worrying about 1908 now.
Four years ago Hearst was presi-
dent and footer OF bills for the Ma
tionaI Democratic clubs. The mem
bels met, If memory serves Alright,
at Indianapolis, expecting to greet
their president. But he sent one of
his hired men to receive the greetings
of his admirers. This dampened the
ardor Of the crowd, despite the fact
that their fare back home was paid.
The November election settled the
whole concern, but it seems that the
N. D. G. is to be resurrected, what
little there is left OF it's ashes.
