defeat of Wright stamped him as a
formidable antagonist.

President Jake Wells, of the Nlr-
ginia League. is In Richmond thurs

much to do with baseball. II is un-
derstood that he 10 here on theatrica.
business, anu that he Will not remain
many hours.
Al the same time II is believed that
While here President Wells VIII take
a peep into league affairs and 20 over,

H. rtant business now on the hlotter.
At the present time the severed UNI
pres OF the league are going well.
and this worry will he off the mind
of the present. The arbiters have been
giving general satisfaction ever since
President Wells personally arranged
their schedule. The recent complaint
from the arbiters that they had not
received their money has been quickly
uuieted, and they now have every cent
that rs coming 10 them. transporra-
tlcn, salary and all.
The state of the league treasury
may be examined by the president, but
this will not take much of his time.
for the reason that league affairs are
now in fairly good shape, Until a
week ago things did not look SO bright
for the reason that the various clubs
were not sending in their percentages
of the gate receipts. These are com
ing In now, however. and within the
next twenty-four hours everything
will be running smoothly.
1T is not believed that President
Wells has Witnessed a game in the
Virginia League this season. and on
Thursday afternoon Owner Bradley,
oil the Colts. will request the league
head To journey out to the park to
see the Goohers and Colts mix 1t. The
president may accept the invitation,
but II is more probable that he will
.ind theatrical business that viii pre-
vent his going.

With the addition of Edmondson
and Clayton Owner Bradley is optf-
mistic and says that he believes the
club Will now begin to win. The
Colts have lost many games on ae-
count of the lack of hit at the right
time. With Clayton continuing his
good hitting he will be the means OF
bringing many of these close games
the side Of the locals.
The players declare that the Roa-
1oke Champs were lucky IN the last

for them. The Colts could have taken
two of the games easily with a hit
at the right time.

fore he had hardly opened his mouth.
The play came In the third inning
when Doyle tried to score from third

to Cowan who is said TO have had the
runner easily, Yet Umpire Fender
called him safe. Cowan rushed to
the arbiter and was about to protest
when he was waved 70 the bench.
II is said that Pender has II in for

While not undertaking to explain
the present trouble With the official
scorers of the league, Secretary Greg
CRY says that there ia no real cause
for complaint. The secretary states
that many of the scorers have been
far behind in getting their scores I'm
to the Office. and that he Is thereby
thrown far behind In making the en-
tries in his books
According TO the secretary, there
were forty or fifty scores held back
last month, and they should have been
sent in OH time. While not giving this
as the reason for not paying the scor-
ers. Secretary Gregory says that there
rs a good reason for It,
AT the same time il is said that
some OF the scorers have no cause
for complaint since they have been
paid up in full. Ii is only few who
have not received their checks, Sec
retary Gregory SAYS that during the
five years of the league the scorers
have always received their checks with
regularity, and that he is surprised
that they should register a kick at this
time.

Centertelder wallace will use his
best efforts To drive the ball over the
fence Thursday. and he will do this.
not in expectation OF getting purse
from admiring fans. but because of
the fact that his parents will be look
ing on. and he wants TO make their
hearts glad by doing something SEN
aational.
Mr. and Mrs. Henderson Wallace
arrived in Richmond Thursday. and
are the guests OF their son, MIR. Wai-
lacAS Sr. is an engineer on the l.. and
NJ. Railroad. and his home liz In Mo-
bile. Ala. They will spend several
days here with the player and his
family.
Whether or not the Colts star cen
ter fielder gets his home run, his
parents will be fully repaid for their
trip by seeing him put up his usual
good game. There is no question that
Wallace has played more consistently
than any other player on the club this
year and he now leads the club IN
batting and has done so all season.
1t would be- most gratifying TO see
the popular player clout the ball over
the fence to please his guests.
Manager Lawior, OF the locals. :
looked over his two new men Thurs
day and declares that he liz more than
pleased to get them. He says that
they will materially strengthen the
club where II Is weak--in the hit
ting.
Clayton has a reputation as hitter
and went through last year with a
percentage of .27S. This year he has
been hitting near 800 and Lawlor
predicts that he win keep it up here.
1t cannot be said that Clayton la a
great fielder but Is believed that he
can hold the position satisfactorily
and will be the means of winning
many games before the end of the
season.
Edmondson is also a good hitter
for pitcher ana may come along
with the cfout that win win the
GamA. The new man will not he
worked In the first game with the
Coolers but he Is likely to he called
upon to 20 In at any time.

A PARTY ON TRIAL.

The Republican organization is on trial in New York state on charges of gross corruption. The revelations that have followed the accusations of bribery by one member of the state senate against another indicate that for years past the Republican major ity in the legislature has been on the
 auction block, with legislation for sale to the highest bidder, and un- blushing blackmail of corporations for the smothering of legislation, a probable side line.
 The investigation, which started as a personal matter between two mem bers, Senators Aids and Conger, has developed into statewide scandal, involving men high in the councils of the party Assemblyman Chanler, a Democrat, precipitated a panic by introducing resolution providing for thorough investigation of bribery charges and Governor Hughes has added fuel to the flame by appoint ing commissioners to uncover alleged wholesale grating in the purchase and sale of the state forest pre- serves.
 The Republican party, not alone in New York state but throughout the nation, is in a bad way. In the past few years so many of it's leaders have been proven either corrupt or under the influence of interests inimical to the public welfare that the honest rank and file can have little confi- dence left in the organization. This is the natural result of years of un- checked power and of a theory of pol itics that bestows unwarranted and unfair advantages upon a few at the expense of the many. The house of cards is toppling. The reign of graft and plunder is nearly at an end and the people are about to come into their own

cent performances at Washington with eyes and mind keen to grasp their significance, has reached the limit of patience and hope, and in a conspic- uous place on the editorial page of a recent issue of his publication he prints the following:
 The Republican party is busted. It hasn't a majority in the house and probably not in the senate. It cannot enact the Taft measures. It's fighting clements are irrecon- cilable. Both want to see the Democrats carry the next house and elect a lot of governors. Each proposes to really nominate it's own candidate for president. This is official Democrats get wise and busy.
 This is but another straw in ad- vance of the forthcoming Democratic landslide.

That the majority of the Ballinger- Pinchot Investigating committee were appointed for the specific purpose of whitewashing Ballinger is made plain enough, by the daily reports of the proceedings, for even the blind to see The hostility of these grave and reverend senators toward the witnes- ses for Mr. Pinchot is ill-concealed and sometimes it leads them into trap of their own making, as was the case the other day when Senators Root and Sutherland, speaking almost at the same time, interrupted Louis R. Glavis, who was on the witness stand, in the midst of one of his ans wers. Aided by the chairman. Sena- tor Nelson. and others of the Taft Ballinger coterie, they tried to shut him off and intimidate him from fur ther disclosures, succeeding in mea- sure in doing so. It afterwards devel- oped that the question asked him was in two parts, and that he had only answered the first part when inter- ruted and forced to cease. The pro- Ballinger investigators" were thus revealed in the light of preventing a witness from answering their own questions in their zeal to protect Bal finger
