TENNIS GAMES
 ARE POSTPONED

Newport, R. l., August 26.-There was very little prospect of the final match Tn the all-comers tournament for the national tennis championship being played this this morning, the courts being flooded by rain last night and today A great crowd of enthusiasts have come to the city TOT the final match, anticipating the haroest contest of the year between former champion Beals c. Wright of Boston and F. B. Alexander of New York
 The tournament has already extended as long as that of any previous year and will undoubtedly exceed all records in that respect.

 There should be no Ego between.
 The pitcher should either be reinstated or made to remain in the cold.
 If the fans of Memphis were allowed to cast the vote of the Bluff City, Stock dale would fare well. The pitcher has done yeoman service in his time for the Memphii, and 1t would be ingratitude on tine part of President Coleman's township should the Gray Fox be thus stabbed in the back.
 Stockdale did Memphis no undeserved harm in his indiscrete act, unless he spoke falsely.
 1t was not a case of speaking falsely, but a case of talking too much that proved Stockdales undoing.
 All of which reminds that with the final gasps of the baseball player the man In the football togs awakens in the land.

sibility for Atlanta to win out yet in the fight for the cellar championship. Heaven forbid!-Little Rock Gazette.
 Reverting to the Barons again-the an- tics of this club show the trend of base ball. Hopelessly and helplessly out of it. weakened by the absence of their lead CT and best ball player, they have come from behind with a bludgeon in their mitts and damned the eternal stuffing out of every club in the way. The dope all figured Nashville for an easy three out of five games She broke away with one. The dope all figured Mo bile for two of the three, or better. but the dope didn't pan out according to IIoyle. If they haven't pumped out all their steam these same tail-enders may be husky enough to stop the Birds for brief spell at least and every minute particle assists materially as they pass it out in Boston.-Nashville Tennessean.
 Seems like a dad-binged shame that Atlanta couldn't wrench off at least one of those double-header duels, but the odds arg the ex-Champs have gathered about all they will take way from Dyke town this season. And with Atlanta out of the way, the Birds are then doomed to meet the ferocious Barons All through the season the Slagville outfit has been soft-shell pie for the Pelicans but at their present rate of speed it is more than likely that the rejuvenated tail enders will be going fast enough to check the present leaders for a spell. Of their past 10 games the lowly cellar champions have knocked down eight and dropped but two. If either Nashville or New Or leans had been able to turn this trick the flag scrap would be all over but the hoarse boot and the noisy shouting Three straight wins over Mobile practically cinches Fishers people for a second di- vision Charlottesville Tennessean.

To the Sporting Editor of the Register:
 Please be kind enough to answer the following quotations and set at rest the many rumors that are going the rounds by the knockers:
 l. If the Mobiles won only. one game out of every four for the balance of the season, how many games will they have to play before they take the position now occupied by Birmingham
 2. If the Southern league salary limit is $27O0, why and how can the promoters of the Mobile baseball team expect to finish in the first division with an $500 team?
 3. Has the Mobile team any pinch hit ters, and do you consider Thornton the best player on the team? R. K. BOYD.

and the undertaking was allowed to
lapse. The completion Of Morrill, hall

a position to establish summer school

obtained in most States.
1t is now possible to broaden the
scope of such a summer school so as
to include a curriculum for teachers
from all parts of the State who desire
to take advantage Of part of the long
vacation of summer to better prepare
themselves for the performance of i'm

and also to provide course for others
who desire to obtain n more thorough
knowledge of the requirements for
success in thorough farming

BROAD-MINDED DELEGATION FROM
VERMONT,

A number Of prominent and substantial
citizens Of the State, having no personal
axes to grind, have been mentioned in
different newspa pers for positions on the
delegation from Vermont to the ropubli-
can convention. While the great majority
of them favor the same man for tho
presidency. others suggested are known
to prefer some other candidate. We hold
ness OF our people as a whole that so far
as we have observed not one of these
representative Vermont citizens has been
opposed simply because he happened to
differ from any of those discussing the
subject. It is taken for granted that the
Vermont delegation will be made up of
men who will support the strongest man
as soon as it becomes demonstrated at
the convention which progressive candi-
date Is likely to be the strongest ri the
polls In this connection the Hardwick
Gazette well says:
The Gazette has no "slate" of delegates
to the Chicago convention, and only
hopes that broad-minded and unpreju-
diced men will in all cases be selected. In
addition to that, however. it believes that
the delegation should contain at least
two or three men of national acquaint-
ance, reputation and experience. That
there will be a necessity for such men
there Is unquestioned, and II we have
such material it is nothing less than our
duty to use it. Don't let Jealousy or
spite blind Judgment.
This Is excellent advice and II it could
be thoroughly followed by republicans
throughout the country as we'll as in Yer
mont. there would not be shadow OF a
doubt about the election of the next Pres
ident Of the United States by republicans
