FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST ), 1910
THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION
IN m4lYIaAND.

Both political parties are now en-
gagged IN lining up for the battle OF
the coming fall. The Democrats of
the country have every reason 10 be-
lieye that they viii capture the COM
ing Congress. The Republican party
is dreadfully broken up upon the sub
ject OF the tariff. and most OF the high
protection leaders are being dropped
out as congressional candidates.
The people Of the country have
grown tired of being robbed through
high tariff laws. which at their ex-
pense have made whole crop of
millionaires, and the Republican party
in hearing the mutterings of the thun-
der on every side.
In Maryland the present situation,
as regards the candidates is about as
follows. In the first district. COM
prising the counties Of the Eastern
Shore. the Democrats vii renominate
Dir. coyington. the present member
of congress from that district. The
Republicans are having some diff
Guilty to get candidate. the outlook
not being very inviting. Under the
influence of Mr.. William Jaeksons
barrel the district was overwhelming
ly Republican, but when Jackson made
his campaign against coyington. and
the Corrupt Practices Law had bnng-
ed up his barrel. Coylngton beat him
by nearly 1000.
In the second district. comprising
the counties of Baltimore. Carroll and
Hartford. with two wards In Baltimore
City, Mr. Talbot. the present member,
will ha re-nominated. without OPP
position, so far as IL now known.
Mr.. Talbot has hac large experience
in Congress aud Is most faithful
representative. and ought to be noml-
mated. and Will be elected. Nj. Vim.
b. Baker. of Hartford. Will Be Mr..
Talbott's opponent
The third and fourth districts are
in Baltimore city. and there Il quite
a contest there. both upon the Demo
cratic and Republican sldes, for the
nominations.
The Fifth district comprises the
counties of Southern Maryland. and
there Is a lively triangular contest
between Ray. Stanley and Smith.
Just Who will he nominated It i hard
to predict. but the chances seem to be
with Smith. Mr. Tom parran Hili be
the Republican nominee
In the Sixth district, comprising
the counties Of Frederick. Montgom-
cry, Washington. Allegany and Gar
rett. the Republicans are having all
sorts Of n lively time. Mr.. Pearre. the
present member from that district, Is
being antagonIzed By three o. four
gentlemen of prominence who have
the congressional bee In their bon
nets With the chances that pearre
will receive the nomination Mr..
Lewis. of Cumberland. will be the
Democratic nominee. md while the
district is normally Republican. IL is
believed that Lewis will carry II In
the coming election.
Everything looks hopeful for the
Democrats of the country at tn com
ing congressional elections.

One of the great questions coming up
IN the near future. at leastin the next
SIX years. viii be the fixing Of the toll
rate through the Panama canal. IN
which the large railroads are deeply
Interested. OF course railroad repre-

with fixing this rate.
It is true men might be sent to rep

prove unfaithfnl. and In order that
Democrats may not be deceived in
the election OF proper representatives.

reaentatIses who have served the peo-

fear and avoid them II they can.
And SO II is in this day an eneour

A week from Saturday Main" Will

team. however. will be under q consid-
erablc disadvantaG" on this occasion
due to the fact that three of her
strongest men will be away with the

was picked as the winner in the 100
yard dash and also was expected to
take Il place in tn" go yard dash,
Bearcc. who has been showing fine

was expected to bc heard from in the

The following Saturday, May IA, the
State meet will be held at Lewiston.
Names chances to take first place arc
very slim; for although she has several
star men such as F'ortier, Llttlcfield,
Cook, Pond. Ray, Walker and several
good second string men she has not
the well balanced team that Bowdoin

that Bates and colby will make a

BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
Boil on Jefr'es' Back May Prove, Pro-
venting Over Training.

Ben Lomond. Cal, April 2S.-.\c-
cording to Manager Sam Berger. the
boil on Jim Jeffries' back may prove a
blessing in disguise But Jeffries did
not accept his skin trouble with the
calm resignation displayed by his
manager. He inclines to the opinion
that its easy enough for Berger to
philosophers over the matter for the
obvious reason that Berger does not
own :he boil. The big fighters finds
himself in minority on the question:
however, as the other trainers agree
with Berger that the boil will compel
JeffrlcS to case up on his work and
prevent any possibility just now of
OVer-traininG.
His sore back has kept Jcfries from
going through his regular program of
exercise for several days, but now that
the boil has been lanced. 1t is thought
the skin eruption will speedily disap-
pear and that the fighter will be able
to resume the prescribed schedule of
work.

Bresnahan. who. while large in stat

After a glance at the Hans Wagner

Dutchman' might just as well go and
pull! up young but promising tree and
use that to destroy the hopes Of young
and old pitchers alike. No balance to it,
large and heavy all over. the average
man could hardly swing it. 1t takes a
person of immense strength to use it
properly, and Hans is that. Being so
heavy. the great, .batsman can meet
the ball either on the handle or the
very end and make hit, where an
other player would put up a pop fly or

TRANSPORTING FLIGHT
Should be Successful Says Wright At
ter Paulhan's Achievement.

Dayton, Ohio. April 2S.--Wilbur
Wright, commenting on the remark
able performance of Louis Paulhan in
England. declared today that no rea-
son now exists why d trans oceanic
flight should not be successful with the
present development OF the aeroplane.
Il believe that an aeroplane with
sufficient gasoline capacity to attempt
q trans Atlantic flight can easily be
built" said Mr., Wright, He would
not go further into details
Wright expressed his pleasure at the
showing made by Paulhan, saying that
aside from Curtiss, Pauhan is prob
ably the most skilful aviator in the
world and really more daring than his
American rival. The tests now being
made. Wright thinks, should prove of
considerable value in giving q line on
the handling of heavier than-air ma
chimes on j long flight.

reports of the various committeeman
OH the results of the spring practice
in which the new rules were tried out
and finally to determine what is to be
done with the forward pass and
whether the suggestion for the re-
striction of the defence is advisable
After receiving the reports of the del
eSateS the committee will consider
these two distinct propositions:
First, the unrestricted forward pass
and defence.
Second. the restricted forward pass
and Il restricted defence.
The approval of the first proposition
means the retention of the game as
now played with the changes made at
tile last meeting If the second propo-
siton is favored. it means revolution
arv football. Several of the coaches
have pronounced in favor of the
change, while others are distinctly OPP
posed to it,

LAST NIGHTS BOUTS,

large number of sports from Au-
gusta and elsewhere saw Tommy Ber-
gin of Lewiston and Tommy Furey
of Attleboro, Mass, in two round
bout; at City hall last evening, with
several other bouts as sidelights, and
while at times there was work of the
liveliest kind there were also periods
when the bouts were tame, one of the
chief causes for criticism being that
there was too much clinching.
Among those who saw the fight it
was the general opinion that Furey
had just a trife of a shade on Bergin
on points, being a better ring gener-
al and boxer, but while ha carried the
fight and kept the Lewiston scrapper
covering up. the effective blows land
ed by him We're few and far between
The first six rounds of the bout were
the best, being more lively and en-
phas'zed by some hot infghting. dur
ing which both lads mixed it freely.
ne only Touchdown of the bout came
IN the second round Of the first six,
when Bergin put Furey down for the
CONT of four.
