MAKES A POOR GUESS
Expresses Belief That President
Roosevelt Will Consent to
Being Renominated.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Before sailing
today for London, wnere he goes as a
delegate to the International Parlia-
mentary Congress. Representative John
Sharp Williams. minority leader in the
House, gave 1t as his opinion that Pres
ident Roosevelt would consent to run

- Il think" said Williams, that the
President is planning it so that he will
be forced to make the race. The Pres
iGent rather reminds me OF the old lady
of SaragoSsa who hung about, asking
when the gentlemen were going to be-
gin kissing. as she wanted to be there"
The minority leader declared that "W.
]. Bryan is the logical candidate of the
Democratic party"
Williams did not say whether he in
tended to meet Bryan In Europe. He
denied a report that he had refused to
serve on the reception committee which
would welcome Bryan in New York
next month.
OYSTER BAY, L. l., July 14.-When
the interview of John Sharp Williams
was shown to Mr.. Loeb, secretary to
the President, today, Loeb said:
The President means exactly what
he said on the night of his election
that he would not be candidate again
for the office. That statement is ire
yocable."

WIND UPSEFS THE FORM
OF THE TENNIS PLAYERS
Interesting Doubles Match Is Decided
on the Courts OF the Cali
fornia Club.

fornia Club.
The cold, disagreeable wind yester-
day caused an unusually light attend
ance at the tennis courts. The few
enthusiasts who did turn out found 1t
almost impossible to control the direc-
tion Of the bail on account of the
strong wind.
Under the existing conditions a fairly
interesting doubles match was played
at the California Club by George James
and Fletcher Elliott and Frank Mitch
ell and Herbert Long. The former won
the first set, ga but lost the second
by a similar score. The two champions
played well and were given good sup
port by their partners.
DR.. Younger and w. S. MacGavin
played their regular Saturday after
noon match and, as usual, they broke
even. MacGavin won the first set. 6-3,
but lost the second, 6-4. These two
players are probably the. most evenly
matched in the city. They have met
almost every Saturday for months and
invariably each wins a set OF the two
played. They are both unusually clever
players for men of their years. Both
have excellent strokes in the back
court and stick to the old style of play.
They never take the net when they can
avoid it.
Mr.. shanks. a new member of the
club, easily defeated Chester Smith.
The latter has had no practice of late
and does not play anything like his old
game. Shanks has a good style and
should develop into a clever player. He
beat Smith 60, 6-s.
b +. Nourse won two sets quite han
dlly from T. Affeld. The latter is
prominent member of the Brooklyn
Tennis Club. A lack of practice ac-
counts for his showing of yesterday.
When in form he is said to play an ex-
celient game. The score was 6-3, 6-1.

"Of course the whole thing is false.
