III, mains Intense.
PEOPLE ARE DISCONNECTED

Berlin November 25.-The announce
nent that the Reichstag elections will
be held on January - finds the vari-
ons political parties ready to begin an
unusually active campaign
Indications are that the elections
VIII call out an unusually large per
centage OF the voters, the people being
discontcntec with various matters
The Morocco question perceptibiy in
creased the disccatent OF the people
and II Is evident from tbs columns OF
many Of the most loyal newspapers
thai a general feeling prevails that
germany has lost prestige during the
controversy with France.
The high cost OF many of the nee
essaries Of life and the refusal of the
imperial government TO make any tar
sit reductions. to admit frozen meat
from Argentine. and grant other
measures OF relief. has further deep-
ened the general discomfort
The bitterness caused by the pro-
longed controversy over the financial
legislation of 1903 also remains most
intense. and IL Will probably be the
most influential factor in the elections.
Although there are many parties in
Germany, 1t has seldom occurred that
the government groups and the oppo-
sition parties have been SO clearly
separated. On the side of the govern
rlent are the Conservative and Cleri-
cal PARTIES; opposed TO it are the Ma
tional Liberals. Radicals and Social
lists Although the three last-named
are themselves sharply divided, 1t is
certain that they will assist each
other In many districts upon reballots,
after their own candidate has been
eliminated on the tirst vote.
Will suner Defeat.
The Conservatives and Clericals vii!
even support each other on the first
vote in districts where they see that
they cannot possibly elect their own
man. Nevertheless. 1t already seems
practically certain that they will suffer
e severe defeat on January 70.
In many extra elections held within
the past two years a heavy shrinkage
of Conservative and Clerical votes we s
observed. and these parties have lost
q number of their strongholds 10 the
Liberals and Socialists, The Clerica!
party, for example, has lost three seats
within a year on by-elections-two to
the National Liberals and one to the
Socialists Recently their candidate
was defeated at Constance by above
1000 majority by a National Liberal,
although the clericals had held the
district uninterruptedly for about
twenty years. and several weeks ago
they lost Dusseldorf 10 the Socialists,
after having steadily held it since the
empire was founded.
The Conservatives were also ousted
from several OF their strongest con
stltuencies by the National Liberals
and Radicals. Owing TO this drift
among the voters. these latter parties
and the Socialists enter the campaign |
with unusually high hopes. especially

DIAMOND WILL NOT
( Be CHANGED UNTIL
+ LEAGUE PLAY ENDS
: McAleer Fears Rough Infield
Would Interfere
With Work.
BY SENATOR"

Fearing the effects of a rough, broken
feld upon the work of his inside quar-
tet, Manager McAleer, of the Nationals,
.' has decided not to have the diamond at
z the Florida avenue park changed this
season.
McAleer intends to have the new dis-
tnond prepared by either the Detroit
clubs groundkeeper or the Murphy
Brothers, builders of the park used by
the New York Highlanders. In either
case the Nationals new diamond will
be prepared by a man with a reputa-
tion, and no club in the country will
thave a better home.
To See Expert.
When he arrives in Detroit on May %
Jimmy McAleer will confer with the De-
troit expert and learn his requirements
and price. Then later on he will meet
the Murphys in New York, and the man
offering the best inducements will get
the job of fitting out the 1912 Nationals
with one OF the best baseball diamonds
in the country.
Il don't want to change the diamond
this season." said Manager McAleer to-
day, because ii would interfere with
our fielding. Kid Elberfeld and George
Mcbride both say that they are will
ing 10 take a chance on a broken field,
but l don't like the idea.
Grandstand Delayed.
THE grandstand will not be completed
as early as was expected, and that gives
us a chance to put off the switching of
the diamond until next season.
I'm going to give Washington real
diamond, too. That fellow in Detroit
or the Murphys in New York will do
the job. They'll have a chance to come
here. look over the place, and take their
time about starting on the work. Who
ever does ii can start as soon as the
season is finished on October 4, getting
his ground ready, and by the time the
team comes back from Atlanta it will
be hardened and ready for the hottest
work of the infield.

Away from home their record has

ceiving a special prep for the Freak

started until that race. Last week he
worked three-quarters in liz Is. the
first three-eighths better than OBS, and
yesterday he made a move that caused
the railbirds to open their eyes. Un-
doubtedly Singer has as much speed as
anything In the race; the question is,

have no ctnch on the stake.
The Preakness weights will be an

already speculating on what they will
be. 1t Is generally conceded that Nov
city will get the top, with Zeus prob
ably next in order. but as to the Others
there Is a great difference Of opinion.
Sam Hildreth promises to hang up a
new track record for three-quarters
with Novelty. The present mark is
l;l2 1-5, and Mr. HLdreth seems TO think
that 1t will be only play for the King
ston colt to lower that. The colt is
now In tip-top order, ready to do his
best, and will probably be started this
week as a preliminary to the Freak
ness.
The conditions will also let in King

Is Lost to Old Penn

PHILADELPHIA. May 8. DR.. J.
William White, who has always at
tended to the Pennsylvania end of the
Army-Navy football negotiations. today
said the game between the Middies and
Cadets would almost surely be played
next fall on a field other than that OF
the University of Pennsylvania. DR..
White said the University of Pennsyl-
vania had early in the winter invited
them to hold their game on Franklin
Field again next fall, on the same terms
as that of last year, but that the acade-
mics had insisted on having more
tickets. He said that since that time
the incident had been closed so far as
Pennsylvania was concerned. and denied
that the Red and Blue had been dtcker-
ing to retain the game.

that there is a possibility that a man

Georgetown Association
To Reclaim Basketball

1t is most likely that basketball at
Georgetown will be taken back under
the official wing of the athletic asso-
ciaticn when that body meets on May
q to elect officers and assistant man
ayers of the various sports at the uni
versity.
Basketball has been successfully con-
Quoted under separate management for
the past two years, and opinion favors
reclaiming the sport. The meeting is
being held earlier this year, in order to
allow the students of the downtown
departments to be on hand. as they
leave for their homes shortly after.
Tfte nominations in the sophomore
class are: Thomas Harrington for base
ball. Eugene Darr for track, James
Madigan for crew. Opposed to them are
the freshman candidates: Charles Nc
Jaughlin for track. John Mathison for
baseball. and Thomas O'Sullivan for
crew,
