Beverly, Mass, Aug. 2S-Presideni
Taft is fighting for a second term on
which he believes are the hereditary
policies Of his party. Today at Bev-
erly a policy of mo visitors wanted
went into effect and it was given out
that the president was going to rest
for two weeks. His rest, however,
will consist of mixing the war paint
preparatory to carrying the struggle
einto the enemy's country in the
middle and northwest states.
For the first time since he was
nominated at Chicago, Taft is in a
warlike mood. When he threw the
gage of battle down to the Republi-
can progressives and Democrats in
his speech of Saturday, it was pre-
1iminary to following it up with lyd-
dite and shrapnell in a ''swing around
the circle" to be begun on Sept. Is.
From then until Oct. 81, Taft will be
in the open, lining up his own follow
ers for the struggle of next year and
doing his best to draw away the sup
port the La Follette-Bourne organf-
Zation now enjoys,
As evidence of his warlike intentions
it is admitted that the proposed visit
to Tennessee, planned long ago, has
been abandoned. The time allotted to
it will be spent in Michigan, where
a progressive movement to capture the
delegates to the next National con-
vention has been launched The At
lantic Coast states and New England,
as well as the south are safe for Taft.
the President and his advisers prf-
vately believe. He will have their del
egates and the regular organization in
those states in control.
But the Middle West and Pacific
Coast are debatable ground today, not
alone for the delegates but for the
vote in November Of next year. Some
of the states have the direct primary
plan developed to such an extent that
the delegates to the national conven-
tions viii be Instructed by the voters.
Therefore Taft feels that 1t behooves
him personally to explain his views to
these voters.
Much will be heard from the Pres
ident on this great trip about the ''un-
natural alliance" between the Demo-
Gratis and the insurgents in congress.
Taft will personally assail the motives

Keeps Eye Out for Good
Road Conditions When
Touring.
GIVES ADVICE ON
GETTYSBURG ROUTE
Letter to Touring Club Member
Makes Interesting OBJ
servation.
By HARRY WARD.

In official circles there is no more an
thusiastic motorist than Vice President
Sherman, and he goes about it in a
way that will appeal to motordom gem
orally. He is one of the most active
of the honorary members Of the Tour
Ing Club of America, and when he goes
touring in his car he keenly observes
road conditions, with the idea OF aug
mentfng the pleasure of the road to his
fellow motorists.
After a recent trip to Gettysburg, the
Vice President wrote to Leroy Mark,
Washington representative Of the tour
ing club, calling attention to an i'm
provement in the route. He relates that
the better way to cover the route TO
Gettysburg via Olney and Frederick is
to turn left instead of right after pass
ing Etchison at 29.5 miles, and then
straight ahead from Damascus. About
two miles beyond, on the original route,
the right fork goes to Ridgeville, but
this left fork goes direct by an excel
lent country road to Newmarket, six
miles west of Ridgeville, where the
new route picks up the old and con-
unues into FREDERICK.
With view of minimizing reckless
driving, the Automobile Club of Mary
land is preparing a bill to be submitted
compulsory for chauffers to undergo a
test before obtaining their licenses.
James j.. Flynn, manager of the ZelI
Motor Car Company, has been advised
that two new Six-cylinder models have
been introduced in the Peerless line for
1872 One is rated at 4S-hoRepower
and the other at 3S-horsepower. The
bodies are OF new fore-door design. The
new dynamo electric lighting system Is
standard in the 1912 Peerless equipment.
1t consists of the dynamo driven by the
motor, a storage battery upon which the
load of the lamps is thrown when the
car is at rest or moving under twelve
miles an hour, and five lamps with par
bolic refiectors. A simple switch on the
dash controls the whole system.
Stanley Zell. president of the Zell
Motor Car Company, of Washington and
Baltimore, will leave today on his
motor yacht Amina for Cambridge, Nd.
He will spend the next four or five days
cruising in the waters adjacent to that

Brightwood threw a scare into the
league leaders yesterday when it tied
the score in the seventh inning. Brown,
who was pitching for Petworth, was in
fine form, but his support failed him.
Birch took up the box duties in the
eighth and held his opponents safe
throughout the remainder of the game.
Petworth scored the run which would
have won the game in the eighth. Lc
Due waited for four bad ones and
crossed the pan when Dempsey poled
triple to deep left.
Frazier, on short for Brightwood, had
good day, despite his two errors,
handling seven chances in fine style.
He also was mixed up in his team s
run-making, hitting safely on two occa-
sions and scoring one run.
Dempsey's pickup and throw of Nor
ris' grounder in the fifth was a beauty,
and the clever Petworth infielder re-
ccived the applause he deserved.
Brightwood played a better fielding
game than did its opponents, and had
opportune hits been made at several
stages of the game, Petworth would
have suffered defeat at the hands Of
the tail-enders.
Brtghtwood pulled off two double
plays. The first was a dandy and was
well applauded. Clayton was on first
and tried to go to third when Plunkett
hunted to King. The Brightwood pitch
er threw his man out at first, and Hur-
ley's true peg to Morris nailed Clay
ton.
Clayton and Baggette were the chief
sluggers for Petworth, two hits apiece
being their share. One of Clayton's hits
was a beautiful triple down the left
field foul line.
Park View and Takoma are sched-
uled to play postponed game today,
and unless Manager Mays boys i'm
prove their playing, 1t would be no
great surprise should Takoma hand
them a beating. With his team fielding
behind him, Howser. is a frst-class
pitcher, who will no doubt be in the
box for the Park boys.
While he did not connect for any
safeties, Fague knocked in two runs
for Petworth, one by a sacrifice fly and
the other by a grounder to the infield.
