cuMMlNs ON THE TARIFF.

Governor Cummins, republican, oil
Iowa. rose to fame as the champion
of tariff revision. Before the people
he has been the uncompromising foe
of tariff robbery. In his party conVen'
tions however, he has uniformly been
ready to compromise with the stand
patters in making the Iowa republican
platforms. After an election, when he
has been safely installed in office for
another term, he returns to his tarin
revision mutton And so 1t is that he
said the following at Pittsburg the
other day:
ut seems to me that we have gone
mad in our zeal for the seller and have
abandoned the buyer to the tender
mercies of monopoly combination ana
greed. The people have borne exces'
siye tariffs with marvellous patience,
but they viii not bear it in silence, and
little by little they are coming to their
own. The way is beset by many dihi'
culties. but they will be overcome and
Il will not be long before congress-
will convene that VIII be as swift to
give them the relief to which they are
entitled as the congresses Of the last
few years have been resolute in de-
nying."
The Indianapolis News is another
tariff reyisionist that talks pretty
straight on the question between cleo
tions and then uniformly supports re-
publican candidates who will not only
not vote TO reform the tariff, but on
the contrary will vote to make II worse
NJ the first opportunity Just now the
News approves what Cummins said
in Pittsburg. Among other things Il
says:
Comparatively few men have any.
thing to sell except their labor and
services. But all are buyers and con.
sumers. To favor the seller at the
expense of the buyer is, therefore, to
favor the minority-and this is a ma
tion supposed to be committed TO the
doctrine of majority rule. The people
have indeed shown marvellous pa
tience, but they are at last dimly
conscious that something is wrong,
are restive under conditions which on
their face seem TO be the most favor
able that any people ever experienced

The tarlr needs reforming. There
is no doubt on earth about that But
Il will not be reformed by the repub
Ican party. And there is no doubt on
earth about that. When the people
put the democratic party in power the
tariff will be reformed. And there is
no doubt on earth about that, either

LOCAL TEAM WINS REVOLVER
MATCH FROM BALTIMORE.

The National Capital Rifle and Revol-
yer Club of this city and the Baltimore
Revolver Association of Baltimore, at the
armory at 9th Ind L streets northwest.
last night gave a good exhibition Of re-
volver shooting in the second of a series
of five shooting matches between the two
teams for the intercity championship Of
revolver clubs.
The Washington team won the match
with a score of 1,4s9 to 1885 out Of pos
sible 1000.
These teams met in Baltimore in their
first match, which was won by the Balti-
more team, with score of 1852 to 1922
out of a possible 1900. This is the first
time the Washington and Baltimore or
CARNATIONS have met in this city, and the
Baltimore visitors were much impressed
with the excellent gallery Of the loca
team, which has ten targets standard

TENNIS ON CLAY COURTS.
Establishment Of Championship
Tournament Proposed.

NEW YORK, November 3O.-Lawn ten
mis- players have made formal move to-
ward establishing a national clay court
championship tournament. The followers
of the game in the middle west have been
the first to move in this matter, and 1t
was learned a couple of days ago that
Palmer E. Presbrey, secretary OF the
United States National Lawn Tennis AS
ISOLATION, had received such an applica-
ton from the officials of the Omaha Field
Club of Omaha, Neb. Among followers of
the game in this city it was said that the
fact that the initial move in this matter
had been made by the west was likely to
prevent one of the largest or the local
clubs from applying for such tourna-
ment, as the matter had been unoer dis
cussion by it's members.
The establishment of the new event has
received consideration from the members
of the executive committee of the national
governing body since 1t was received.
Seven of the nine members are eastern
men, and they are reported to be favor
ably disposed toward the sanctioning OF
the tournament. 1t is admitted, however,
that all will not be smooth sailing in the
event of there being more than one appii-
cant for the proposed championship In the
field. The application for the tournament
from a club in this city may greatly COM
plicate matters.
1t is this complication which is feared
by some of the executive committee. With
no opposition it will be an easy matter
to establish such national event in the
west 1t will also act as propitlat1ng the
players of the Missouri valley region who
have evinced some dissatisfaction with the
government of the national association
1t Is rare for players of that section to
appear at the national championship tour
nament on the courts of the Casino at
Newport, R. l., for the reason that there
are few turf courts in that part Of the
country.
Those of the executive committee who
hope to see the plan put through without
a hitch declare that with the regular turf
championship the indoor meeting and the
contemplated clay court tournament all
branches and variations of the game in
this country will be adequately represent
ID by national championships. The east
,rn organization which may make appli-
cation will have great influence with the
Executive committee, for 1t can bring
great pressure to bear upon the members,
and because of this some diplomatic en-
deavors are being brought to bear to stand
aside in favor of the tournament going to
the west.

DISCUSSING TRAINING TRIPS.
Not Yet Known Where the Chicago
Clubs Will Go.

CHICAGO, November 3O.-The local ma
jor league leaders are already deeply in
terested In the training trips of next
spring, and little else is talked about at
base ball headquarters. The two teams,
it has practically been decided, will leave
the city March s. but their destinations
have not yet been decided upon. Several
places are under consideration, however,
and the only trouble will be to decide
which has the best advantages.
For the White Sox President Comiskey
is trying to make UP his mind between
Marlin Springs. Dallas and Fort Worth,
Tex, and New Orleans. The selection
may depend upon the exhibition games
itinerary, which will undoubtedly be an
extensive one. The Cubs, 1t is believed,
will start out at West Baden for a week
prior to locating at some southern point,
probably in Texas. Dallas Is possibility,
but President Murphy has not yet made
UP his mind. 1t is virtually settled that
the worlds champions will take part in an
ante season series of games, either with
the Athletics or Cleveland, at New Or

TRIP OF STANFORD TEAM.
Will Play Rugby Foot Ball In
British Columbia.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. November 30
The champion rugby team Of Leland
Stanford Jr., University of California will
in all probability make a trip to British
Columbia this winter during the Christ
mas holidays and will play all the leading
teams of the British Columbia Union for
the trophy which has been offered by J..
Copper Keith of Vancouver. Last year
the university team made the trip to the
north and played three games. two of
which they lost and the third was tie.
The faculty Of the institution has not
given its sanction to the trip, but 1t is
expected that it will be approved.
The members of the intercollegiate
champion base ball team of the Stanford
University, the coach and the mana ger
have been awarded souvenir gold base
balls to be worn as watch charms. These
are Inscribed with the owners name and
the scores of the three intercollegiate
contests.

ATHLETICS AT MICHIGAN.
Board Of Control Established by the
University Regents.

DETROIT, Mich, November 30.-The
regents Of the University O. Michigan
have taken active measures to relieve the
athletic situation which has existed for
some time at the Wolverine institution
and which he's interfered with the play
ing of intercollegiate contests to great
extent and under which the students have
had practically nothing to say in regard
to their athletics.
The regents have decided that a new
board of athletic control would be advis-
able and have passed set of resolutions
to that effect which will become opera
tive tomorrow. In part they provide that
the new board shall consist OF eight men,
bers-the physical training director. four
faculty members, one graduate member
and two undergraduate members. Each
one will be entitled to vote.

ANNAPOLIS OVERJoYED.
Brigade Of Midshipmen Gives Vent
to Its Enthusiasm.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 30-An-
napolfs is overjoyed over the victory
achieved by the Navy team over the
West Point cadets in the annual foot ball
contest at Philadelphia today. The tri-
umph is all the more gratifying to the
Navy contingent mainly because of the
fact that before the contest the Army
was the prime favorite in the betting and
had been picked to win by the foot ball
critics generally.
The brigade Of midshipmen returned
at 8 o'clock tonight. having left PhiIa-
delphia shortly after the game and
they gave vent to their enthusiasm by
cheering and yelling as they paraded
through the streets to the academy
grounds. The midshipmen are preparing
for big demonstration when the team
comes home tomorrow night. An addi-
tional measure of qualification to Navy
on the outcome of the game Is the fact
that the series of contests now stands a
tie, each academy having won six games
and one game resulted in a tie.

RESULTS OF RECENT GAMES
A GREAT SURPRISE.
Official team standing:

The bowlers of the Y. M. c. A. Bowling
League have been very active the past
week. Two of the scheduled games were
played, and the results we're very much
of surprise to the followers of the
teams. The Roberts quint administered a
singing defeat to the Hammer boys. the
leaders in the race. This came rather as
q surprise, as the losers have been going
at a championship clip for the past few
weeks. Another surprise was meted out
to the cohorts of the White team when
the Smallwood boys rubbed on the calso-
mine to the tune of 1875 to 1928.

Both the leaders fell off in percentages
in the past two weeks ih the Depart

having the biggest slump, 1872 to 667. due
to the loss of two games to the Interiors
and the full set to the Farmers. The
latter still hold first place. but by drop

several points.
Interiors two games from the Navy

Office. Treasury and War each gained
twelve points in team average. and the

LIVELY IN BILLIARD WORLD.
Amateur and Professional Events to
Take Place In New York.

NEW YORK. November 3O.-Local bill
liardists connected with the National AS
ISOLATION of Amateur Billiard Players are
negotiating with the French Amateur
Federation relative to a series Of matches
to be held in this city late in March or
during the first week of April, and the
details have virtually been settled These
matches, in addition to the great profess
sional events that will take place here
following Willie Hopes return. make it
certain that New York will be the center
of the billiard world during the winter.
The professional challenges will begin to
fly the minute Hoppe sets foot in Amer
lea; in fact, the youngster himself will
begin at once to arrange matches with a
view to regaining the title he lost by for
felt.
To the great mass Of American billiard
enthusiasts these amateur and profess
sional events will be of equal interest.
The probability Is that match Of some
kind will be decided every week or two
during the winter. The amateur events
will take place at the LiederkranZ Club,
where the amateur championships are
held when awarded to this city. The pro-
fessonal affairs Of the winter are likely
to be played either at Madison Square
Garden or the Grand Central Palace.
