Goal as Target.

For the second time during the
present season the Tigers and the First
Virginia Regiment football teams VIII
clash at Broad Street Park this after
noon at o'clock. These two teams
have been at 1t for two years. each
game resulting in a tie score, neither
being able to cross the other's goal
line. AS matter of fact. the Tigers
have not been scored on this season.
Both teams are now in prime shape
and it Is hoped that the game to-day
Will prove decisive.
Coach Calfee, of the regiment, states
that his men are ready to do them
selves proud. Practice has been going
on every night, and some new plays,
which are expected to fool the Tigers.
have been evolved. The Tigers have
by no means been Idle. Every spare
momnt has been occupied in practice
in an endeavor to win to-day's game.
1t Will be battle royal, and neither
team will have q walkover.
The lineup for the game to-day Will
be as follows;

FLOYD coUNTY's DILEMMA

Voting In Richmond and throughout
the Third Congressional District to-day
is likely to be light. Naturally so when
there Is no warm fight between rival
candidates for Office. The reelection
OF Representative John Lamb by a
large majority is assured, and, while
the votes Of Richmond citizens viii
count as mucn for or against the pro-
POSED amendments to the Constitution
as Will those In any other part Of the
State, 1t IL not believed that sufficient
interest has been aroused In them to
bring out a large number OF electors.
City Chairman Miles NJ. Martin has
issued an address to the Democrats OF
Richmond, urging them as matter OF
good citizenship. to go to the polls and
vote for the nominee of the party pri-
mary, even though there is no danger
Of his defeat 1t Is not thought neces-
sary to make a showing of workers at

Republicans Quiet.
Little or no activity among the Re
publicans OF the city and district has
been noted. II possible, the campaign
OF the minority has been, SO Iar as
Gil appearances go, still more apathetie
than has that of the majority. Poll
teal leaders predict that no larger
proportion of the Republican than Of
the Democratic vote will be cast to-
day.
1t is stated, however, that of those
Republicans who do vote. nearly all
will cast their ballots for the amend
ments to the Constitution. especially
for those relating to the treasurers and
commissioners OF the revenue. In fact.
so far as reported, the Republicans
throughout the State will support the
amendments. The election of commits
sioners of the revenue by the people
has been part of their State platform.
