against the Secret Service operations
and TO eonfine them to the Treasury

But President Roosevelt proposes to
go out of Office fighting, and it is IN

| Civil Bill if it comes to him with a
| provision restricting the operations of
| the ffty-six Secret Service men to the
| Treasury Department and forbiddinp
them to operate on territory where the
5000 other detectives in the govern

| though it is claimed by two or three
cabinet officers that their own detee-
tives- especially in the Departments
of Justice and the Tnterior-are supe-
rior to the Secret Service men and do
more satisfactory work in tracking
down criminals.
Therefore it is already in prospect
that the Sundry Civil Appropriation
Bill shall not be completed at this ses-
sion of Congress. The appropriations
it carries will not be needed till July
l next, when the fiscal year begins It.
can Just as well be enacted at the
extra session of Congress, and then
Senate and House can do as they
please about restricting the operations
of the Secret Service men, without
fear, it is claimed, of President Taft
vetoing the bill
But these tendencies 90 to show that
delicate questions are coming up for
President Taft and will make him
scratch his head before he can decide
what he ought to do. If he fails to
take the same stand that President
Roosevelt took, the friends of Roose-
Welt are likely to cry out that Presi-
dent Taft has gone over to the reac-
tionaries, and if he takes the same
stand that Roosevelt took, there is
likely to be trouble ahead with Con-
gress- Some large questions are in
volved in these matters of contro- /
versy. For instance, few DAYS ago
the Senate decided that Collector of j
Customs Crum at Charleston, s. c..
could not be confirmed for second
term. This was due to the fact that
Crum is negro. The Republicans
wanted to get that question out of the
way, so it would not come up to
trouble Mr.. Taft. He has been preach
ing white supremacy in the South and
urging an upbuilding of the Republi- |
can party there. Now will he renom-
mate DR.. Crum, whom the white people |
are opposing? It has already become |
a eanse celebre in the South If Mr.. |
Taft reappoints Crum his hopes of |
winning Southern support are likely |
to go glimmering. If he does not re-
appoint Crum, what will the negro vot- |
ers in the Northern States says

The team should be equally strong this year; for most of the players will return, and there were several excellent men at the university last year who were ineligible under the one year rule in 1905 but will not be in eligible in 1909. One reason for the ex- oellence oi last years team was that there was so much fine material to Sc lect from, and there will be more of 1t this year The coaching also will be strengthened by the addition as assist ant athletic director of Joe Prichard, one of Nanderbilt's great stars. The new Young Mems Christian association sec retary Frank NJ Long of the University of Oklahoma. is also a football star of the first magnitude. and is expected to help in the coaching.
 The great event of the football sea son will, of course, be the game with Sewanee in New Orleans. This game was scheduled long before President Tart ar ranged the itinerary of his southern tour, but hv a fortunate coincidence it will be played on the very day of his visit to New Orleans As he is great lover or athletics he will doubtless take great pleasure in witnessing this contest be- tween two of the strongest football teams in the south.

The sections are no" paying among themselves and Bos- ton IS the only team in the east of which the Athletics need be afraid Tn the west Cleveland and the Chicago White sox are liable at any moment to upset the calculations of the Detroit Tigers.
 After September 16 the west invades the east The Athletics during this invasion should "clean up,' while if Detroit plays as poorly during the next trip as they played before. the Tigers will lose large number of percentage points. But when team has such able stickmen as Cobb, Mcintyre and Crawford it gives person pause and doubt when he goes about making prediction. And Boston It must not be overlooked-has a chance.

September 4.-Nat Emerson of Cincinnati and Mrs. Edith Hannah of Toronto were the tournament winners to- day in the mems and women's singles of the tri-state tennis tourney finals this aft ternoon. Mrs. Hannams victory was ex- pected, but Emerson's triumph was an entire surprise to all followers of tennis. as he was expected to go down to defeat when he met Richard Palmer, the New Jersey left-hander, in the sem-finals in the morning.
 Emerson not only triumphed, however, over Palmer in the most fiercely fought ment but followed this up by winning the finals in straight sets from Harry Waid- ner of Chicago. It took five sets for Emerson to defeat Palmer in the semi finals. the scores being s-6. 6-s 4-6 6-S. 6-4. Meanwhile Wadner met Nat Thorn ton of Atlanta. the ex-southern cham pion. in the other semi-final match and beat him easily, 6-4, 6-4. so.

 The American and National leagues con- tinue their fights for several weeks to come. but 1t has already happened that trio. The same is true concerning the American association.
 In the Southern league 1t is a 10 to bet that Atlanta will win the pennant with a comfortable margin. The east will come out of the west after today The west then comes east and every fan Is aware of the treatment that Atlanta accords visiting opponents So general Is the knowledge that Atlanta will win the pennant that there Is compara. lively little interest in the outcome.
 Tuesday closes the South Atlantic and Texas leagues. Houston has things com pletely basged in the Texas organiza- tion while Augusta will probably win out in the South Atlantic-that is will prob- ably win the championship of the sec ond half of the season Chattanooga won the championship of the first half, and Is now about two games behind Au- gusta. Unless Augusta loses the ma- Jority of the three games remaining to be played, Chattanooga has no chance to repeat. In case Augusta does land, Chat tanooga and Augusta will play off the chmpionship tie. The odds will favor Chattanooga to win, although Augusta is now going at fast rate of speed.

 The second was a ragged contest, filled with hard hitting. Perrys wild throw to second which permitted two runners to score allowed Atlanta to tie the score after Little Rock had an apparently safe lead Score:
