U. S. SENATONIAL TERMS

The provisions of the federal constitution with reference to sell ecting United States senators may bring about a unique contest be- tween the legislatures of Arizona and New Mexico.
 The state which select it's sem ators first will have a six-year sem ator and four-year senator. The senators from the other state will have four and two-year terms, respectively which means that the latter will serve little over year, or until March 4, 1913.
 It has been taken for granted that, because the New Mexico election occurred more than a month earlier than that in Arizona, the sister state would elect sem ators first. However, the New Mexico election has not as yet been certified and the handicap in the senatorial race will be further reduced by the probability that, owing to the advisory vote in Ari- zona which makes the selection of senators perfunctory matter, the Arizona legislature may name the senators on the first day it conven- es. With no advisory primary to instruct them, the New Mexico legislators may be deadlocked for weeks or months, allowing the Arizona senators to take office first.
 It has been stated also that there is strong probability that in the event of close contest in New Mexico, interested parties may seek to delay the election of senators there in order that those named will draw short terms, thus giving other aspirants an opportu- nity of renewing their efforts to capture togas at the next session of the legislature.
 According to the federal con- stitution, one-third of the United States senate retires automatically every two years, although the full senatorial term is six years. At present the upper house of con- gress comprises thirty-one six-year senators, thirty-four year senators and thirty-one two-year senators. The first two senators elected will be completed to draw lots for four-year and a six-year term. This leaves thirty-two in the six year class, thirty-one in the four year and thirty-one in the two- year so that the next two senators will draw lots for four and two-year terms.

Pumpers Defeated for South

Jack Carr Steals HOme-ShIp-
Iey's Catch the Feature of the
Double Bill.

The Navy Yard team captured both
ends of a double-header from the Sew
age Pumping Station yesterday at Capital
City Park, scores to 3 and to 1.
These victories give the Machinlsts the
undisputed champion of the southeast. 1t
took ten innings for the Navy Yarders
to turn the trick in the first game. The
second contest was called by agreement
after five and one-half innings of play.
The credit for the first victory goes to
Dutch" Sterzer, the former Tech twirl-
er, who pitched for the Evansville,
Qnd) team this season. He let the Pump
ers down with five hits, and sent thirteen
to the bench on strikes. Outside of one
bad inning, the eighth he was never in
danger Joe Giebel, the Savannah star,
caught him, and held up in fine style.
'PhiT' Buscher twirled the opener for
the Pumpers, and was touched for eight
healthy swats, all OF which came at op-
portune times. Had his team accorded
him better support the result might have
been different, as the Machinists scored
the winning tallies in the tenth inning
without a hit Big Six Brewer
had to retire in the ninth inning of the
contest on account of q swollen hand.
Martin was pitted against Mcmahon in
the nightcap, and was hammered unmer-
cifully in the second inning, the Ma
chinists showing five runs over the plat
ter on four healthy bingles, two errors,
and a base on balls. Martin settled down
after this inning and pitched good ball
for the remainder of the game. Mcmahon
was in rare form, holding the bumpers
safe at every stage of the game.
Shipley pulled of the banner stunt Of the
afternoon in the fourth inning of the
first game when he sphered Browns line
drive with one hand. The catch earned
him the applause of the large crowd
which turned out to witness the conflicts.
