coLBY's PRESENT PoWER-WHIcH PARTY WILL CARRY
ESSEX COUNTY NEXT MONTH?

Senator Colby has the whip-hand over the regular Repub-
lcau organization in the Legislature. He who was but a
brief period since houted and scofed at and pushed aside may
compel the Senate majority to do what he wills There is no
choice about the matter because his assistance, and that of his
associates in the independent movement, is needed in the cam
paigu. 1t isn't a case of promises, either. The Legislature is
in session and the Essex Senator holds the key to the situa-
ton. He can come pretty near getting any kind of a Public
Utilities act that he wants. He can have the dangerous
Potable Water Commission law repealed. He can insist on the
passage of an act against dual o~ficeholding. And he can
push through measures to punish incompetent negligent and
unfit State officials. He has the power and the responsibility
that goes with it.

Candidate Katzenbach cannot be blamed for exploiting to
the utmost the evidence developed by the Assembly Investgat-
ing Committee. 1t is what was to have been expected when
the Republican managers so obhgingly left that material within
his reach. And it is no answer to say that the abuses were
in institutions managed by bipartisan boards and that Demo
Gratis as we'll as Republicans were smirched. That isn't the
point at all. The point is that the Republicans were in power
and had the authority to ,cal1 a halt to the evils exposed and
deal out prompt punishment to the offenders. That has not
been done. The absentee officials still hold on. The men who
the State funds for personal advantage remain on the pay
roll. Dual o~fhceho1ding continues. The Trenton asylum is
still under the management of men whose utter unftness was
painfully demonstrated. On all of these points Candidate Fort
will, of course, speak out.
But Candidate Katzenbach can't win on 4 that issue alone.
To be elected he needs Essex County and the voters hereabouts
that he shall tell them just where he stands on the Elk
question.

MIGRANT DECLARES
 RAGING A BUSINESS
BY J. s. A. MACDONALD.

New York, July 14.-(Special from the Hearst News Service. )-John J. McGraw, the famous Napoleon of the baseball dia- mond, is going to leave the national game for tine turf, possibly this autumn, but at all events within the next two years. Incidentally, McGraw says the race track offers the best field for making money either for the capitalist or the poor young man without funds, to be found in Amer
 ica today. This Is very interesting and quite characteristic of the great litlle baseball leader of the, New York Giants who is first of all thinker and a sort Of fellow who Is usually found doing things for himself along certain lines unique and apart from the general way. McGraw doesn't believe 1t is possible for a man to run into racing and beat tho horses by betting his money, but he does hold that conservative careful business man can master the sport so thorourhlv either as bookmaker. owner or as n pro- fessonal speculator, that rich dividends may be had from moderate investment McGraw refuses to call racing sport" Says Mac: Why, the game is nothing more than business and the man who can arrange an edge or an advantage for himself over lis competitors in the 'NtNiiS iiiiS anu III lHt can Win and make money. There it is in a nut she'll Any man who bets on a horse rat without having an edge on the bookmak- CT is a boob The men who are making money on the turf are they who manage to get 90 to l against a natural even money choice. Then they take 5 to 1 to show against it." This $ all enter taining and moreover true. There are many men who are making fortunes from racing. To begin with the business of thoroughbred racing offers very little re- turn to the straight out-and-out gambler. The gambler never succeeds in anything. A prominent turfman. and a successful one, too, recently declared: When you have eliminated the element of chance in your race track ventures down to the very limit of possibility, then you have i chance of winning. There is nothing In racing for the haphazard sort of a fel- low. Luck never brings anything but dis appointment in the long run.

Manager Montgomery
 Makes Jackson Winner

Columbus Miss. July 14-(Special.) )-The sale of Centerfielder Hopkins of the ViclSs- burg team to the St. Louis Nationals for the sum of $1O00 cash money has proved the sensation of the week. Hopkins has left Vicksburg for New York where he will join the St. Louis team, but the cash will not be sent Manager Blackburn of Vcksburg until 1t is found out that Hop kins is fast one, and can keep up with National league company. There is no doubt but that Hopkins is a good fielder, but whether or not he Is swift enough for such good company as he will be in re- mains a matter of conjecture. While in the Cotton States Hopkins batted at .27S clip. It is hardly reasonable to suppose he can keep up that gait in the National league.

ENGLAND DECLINES
 IN SPORTING WAYS
BY RICHARD DAHLGREN.

London, July 14-Is old England losing her grip on all forms of sport? Once she stood at the top,, but now a decline set in. This sad fact Is pointed out by Yorkshireman who has returned to old England after an absence of fifteen years. In a most interesting letter to a London daily he says
 "When 1 left home fifteen years ago English sportsmen were pre-eminent all the world over. Now there is scarcely a championship remaining to us. A Bel glen crew hold the grand challenge cup at Henley, the professional sculling cham pionship is in the possession of an Aus traian. the wrestling champion of the world is a Russian, all the great profes- sional boxers of recent years are Amer jeans, at running, teams from Harvard and Yale come over and beat the picked athletes of our universities. we have re- gently lost our title al tennis to he son of an American millionaire. and there is very grave danger of the lawn tennis championship going this year to either America or Australia.
 Even in purely British games such as cricket and football our glory has to a certain extent departed. Cricketers from Australia and South Africa now meet us upon equal terms instead of coming here to learn how to play the game correctly.
 At football our case appears to be hopeless. In successive years teams from New Zealand and South Africa have made triumphal progresses through the country, not only defeating but routing all the teams opposed to them.
 And now to crown all Frenchman has won the golf championship, and Scot land shares with England the disgrace of being defeated by stranger at her na- tional game I believe we can still hold our own at hockey, perhaps at bowls, but there our superiority ends.
 q can only put down our decadence to lack of enthusiasm and ultra-conserva- tism. We are content to jog on in the same old way, while other nations are i'm proving their methods and implements with each succeeding year, and unless we follow their example we siaa Se speedily left behind in the race for honors.'
 The Yorkshlreman is not alone In ms sorrow over the defeats of his country men. The victories of Miss Sutton, Jay Gould and the Belgian oarsmen has been taken very seriously to heart by British editors. They make sickly comments on the decadence of British sport, which made the victories of foreigners possi- ble.

squirt on and pass them by winning about ten straights. Jackson is looming up of late, and it would not be surprising
 they did not come in and appear upon the limelight ere many days. Their rec ord since Montgomery assumed charge is wonderful About six weeks ago they were tying Columbus for the last place In the column, but now they are way up in the running, and seem to develop better team work and hit better each game. Jackson won't be far behind when the season is wound up Gulfport is the sur prising team in the league. They began playing splendid ball, and once went to the head of the percentage column. Every game they play Is hard fought one and the team they play against always has a hard fight to win out. Luck seems to be against them, and they have been drop ping every day for the past three weeks
 Robbie Gilkes is in despair. and can see no remedy for the misfortune Gulfport appears to have the best and fastest team in the league. New Orleans plays two of their men. Holland in center and Reilly 1t short, whenever they can be secured. Last week Reilly was unfortunate enough to sprain his ankle and is now on the bench. Holland has not been doing well of latc

The arrival of a new railroad of the size, importance and progressiveness of the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic in an industrial city like Birmingham means more than can ever be written in small space like that at the disposal now.
 1t means millions to the city and brings hundreds of employees to Birmingham and the suburbs. It increases pay rolls and large pay rolls are what make the wealth of a community. The railroad purchased real estate and thereby put large amounts of money into circulation. The people from whom the railroads purchased in turn have to seek new homes and new places 10 live. They purchase again and so the money keeps moving, all going to build up the city and the district.
 The Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic railroad like the Illinois Central. sought entrance into Birmingham from the west. Two large railroads in the western end of the city and the portion of the county between Birmingham and Bessemer and Birmingham and Ensley cause immense purchases of real estate. They will em- ploy large numbers of men.
 Real estate values naturally advanced in that section of the district and will nat- uraly advance still more The Jemison Real Estate and Insurance company has the pick of the property in that section of Jefferson county, property of course

YALE CHAMPION
 IN COLLEGE SPORTS
BY MANHATTAN.

New York. July 14,--The greatest year in the history of college sports has been the academic one of 1906-1907. In nearly every one of the events east and west. new records were either made the quality of the sport was exceptionally high, and all this was accomplished in spite of great opposition from the off cial heads of many universities.
 In the east championships were decided in twenty distinct sports-the greatest numner on record. In the west the num- Der was far less for the reason that many of the sports fostered in that section are not strong enough to bring about in- tercollegiate meets.
 The number of championships won by Yale during the year has been remark able Yale stands first in six sports. Next comes Princeton with two cham pionships and two ties. Pennsylvania and Cornell are tied for the third position.
 Counting each championship as 1 the standing of the various universities of the east would be: Yale, 612; Princeton, 8; Pennsylvania. 2la; Cornell. 2la Colum- bia, 9 Annapolis. 1; New York univer sty, 1; Haverford, 1, and John Hop kins 1
 The Yale men were first in basketball goif water polo. tennis and wrestling. Then they divided honors with Prince ton in football. Princeton won the swimming honors and tied for first place in both football and baseball
 Pennsylvania was first in track ath- letics and cricket and tied with Brown in the triangular chess tournament Cor nel woE out in rowing and cross-country and tied with Princeton in baseball. The only other institution to carry off more than one championship was Columbia, the New Workers winning the bowling championship and first place in the quad rangular chess tournament.

The directors will hold that meeting next Saturday.
 It Is expected that the fur will fly. It is thought that the managers will desert tnelr teams in order that the directors might receive the advantage of their knowledge.
 Of course, the chief interest is centered in Charlie Frank. It is wondered if the league will support the president in fining the Pelican mogul for refusing to play that game in Memphis. Then Manager Dobbs has refused to pay a fine for for feitng the game in Montgomery last week. In addition several minor matters, including protested games, will be con sidered
 While the meeting will be interesting. the fan must bear in mind that the coming together O. the directors happens at this time every year It happened in Birmingham last season.
 Manager Vaughn says: q know it." Everybody tells Harry that new pitcher Is needed. He Is after another twrler who can deliver the goods. He expects something to fall towards the middle of the week.

AMERICAN TENNIS PLAYERS
 HAVE POOR CHANCE-AUS- TRALiA TO WIN-FITZSIMMO
 FIGHTS NEGRO FRIDAY NIGHT.

New York, July 14.-lnterest in anna teur sports this week centers in the continuation of play at Wimbledon, England by the American lawn tennis team, composed of Beals C. Wright and Karl II. Behr, in the preliminary events in singles and doubles. succeaS in which will put them in line to be- come challengers for the Dwight r. Davis challenge cup. The chances of the American team are not considered bright. With the Doeherty Brothers in retirement and Frank H. Risely not in condition to compete, tennis players believe the chances of the English team are equally remote and that the cup will go to Australia, as it is not thought that England will be able to get togeth CT team capable of holding its own with Brook and Wilding.
 Friday next, on the field of the On wentsia Country club will begin the national championship polo events.
 Wednesday night at Philadelphia Bob Fitzsimmons once holder of the middle and heavy weight pugiiistic champion ships, will again don the gloves and endeavor to put away within six rounds Jack Johnson, the negro aspirant to heavy-weight championship honors. Fitzsimmons has trained hard for the fight at his country home at Dunellon, N. J., and appears to be in fine con dition for the bout. FitZsimmons de- clares that he still has the hitting power that laid low Corbett, Sharkey, Ruhlsn. Maher and others. Johnson Is said to be in perfect condition and full of confidence.
 The present week will probably de- eide the question as to whether or not there will be an automobile race this year for the Vanderbilt cup. The sen ate of New Jersey is expected to meet and either pass or kill the measure em- towering local authorities to set apart certain sections of highways for the contest.
