Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1910-10-01

Mr.. John Hays Hammond, who is
ostentatiously a friend of the Presi-
dent, attempted to classify Insurgent
Republicans in a speech yesterday be-
fore representatives of the National
Republican League, of which he is
president. Mr. Hammond divided the
Progressives in five Glasses, namely
the calamity howlers,' the "unintel-
ligent intellectuals" q high brows,"
the "unctuous rectitudists' or the
"self-righteous,' the ''suburbanites'
and Progressive Republicans" "These
men'-the Progressives, said Mr.. Ham
mond ARE sincerely desrous of rails
ing the standard of political morals OF
the country and while they recognize
the necessity of party organizations,
they are uncompromisingly opposed to
INSCRIPTIONS boss domination, just as
you and l are. my friends" From
which it may be gathered that Mr..
greatly in the minority and that he
doesn't think much of Insurgents
taking them by and large.
Interest in the baseball season of
1910 is not so frayed in this city nor. is
the disappointment over the loss of
the pennant so poignant that real
fans do not welcome the opportunity
to see the Athletics, winners Of the
American League pennant In action
series between the Cubs and the Ath-
letics bids fair to be one of the most
noteworthy struggles for the baseball
championship of the world ever en-
tered into by the champion teams OF
the two big leagues. The most ardent
supporters of the National League,
which has captured all but two of the
worlds championships are quite ready
to admit that the Chicago team, mar
velous baseball machine though it Is,
win have in the fast aggregation from
Philadelphia an exceedingly hard nut
to crack. Newark fans hope the Ath
letics in their battle with the Tigers
here tomorrow will put their best foot
forward so 1t may be possible to get
line on their real form"
There is something significant in the
fact that soccer football Is to take the
place of the Americanized Rugby game,
as played in the colleges, on the New
vnrlyT r,,,b1io ,lavrro,,nds @l,is ,,aor
Director Bradstreet, of the play
grounds, thinks the football rules have
been SO ''tinkered" with that they are
too complicated for the grammar school
boy. Mr.. Bradstreet says: IT find a
prejudice against the game Rugby) on
the part of both boys and parents, and
/ am going to organize a soccer tour
nament to take the place of the Amer
lcan game" 1t is just possible that
the gridiron heroes of the colleges will
find the game too complicated for conf
fort before the season is over, and some
more "tinkering" will be necessary.
The marvellous advance made by
aviation within the past year may be
gauged by the Vanderbilt cup race A
year ago that race was the last word,
the smartest thing in the world of
sport. 1t represented track competi-
ton brought right up to date, And
now just one year later 1t is impossi-
Bile not to regard the Vanderbilt cup
race as slightly old-fashioned. Ava
tion meets have usurped its place as
the most modern of sporting events
Even the greatest of the old racing
automobile drivers have turned trait
ors and become aviators. If the aero
plane FORCES ahead the coming year
as it has the past year we may see no
more Vanderbilt cup races. Mr.. Van
derbilt, even, has taken up aviation.
A pastor resigned a pulpit he had
occupied for sixteen years in Brook
lyn on the ground that "the- influence
of the Intellectual atmosphere he had
breathed so long had been deadening 1t
is easy to understand how an intel
lectual atmosphere which was pure
and undeflled and undiluted might III
time begin to pail, excepting in the
it is the breath of life. But surely
in city even a pastor can find avoca-
ton and outside interests to furnish
the needed something for his at
mosphere and relieve it of its heavl-
ness.
