We usually look to "big men"
political leaders for wisdom and
knowledge along this line, and.yet
the Near great" are not the truly
great, and many OF the so called
great men have not approximated
the"'Near great" hence the result
has been 'blind lead the blind" in
political matters with the spectacle
of skiddipg Of the machine. and a
tnmbie of "bosses," into the politi-
cal ditch.
AT present national politics and
policies are in chaotic state o!
uncertainty.

ness man or professional man to have
more confidence in the results obtained in
these exercise classes under competent
leadership than he would were he going
through the same forms by himself. 1
have heard physical instructors laugh as
they commented on the childlike trust
placed in them by business men who were
recognised for their achievements in the
commercial world. The confidence Is ex-
actly the same a person will display to-
ward his physician. or dentist, or at
torney.
The business man realized that he is
devoting his time and energies to the up
building of some industrial proposition.
He has never taken the time to study the
various methods of exercise. and is not
disposed to study them. He is willing to
be shown, and expects to be shown-and
he much prefers to engage In this work
with others who have the same ideas re-
garding the necessity Of physical fitness.
If q man belongs to gymnasium or
club and knows that his class in physical
culture begins its work at 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon he Is going to be there. He
wants to reap exactly the same benefits
that the other members OF the class gee

score, and should have Won the game
then and there, but could not place the
ball in safe territory.
You will have to hand it to Tommy
Harris for his fielding. He certainly is
the best fielding shortstop in the city,
but he can't hit. If he could he wouldn't
be playing amateur ball.
Tommy Quantrille was the leading hit
ter. getting three singles out OF four
times UP. Tommy is Hitting better than
he ever has since playing base ball. He
seems to become better the Older he gets.

terians. Thomas accepting eight chances
without a miscue. Thornett deserves
great deal Of credit for going behind the
bat. He caught a good game.

Esther w., Nine Years Old, Lands
Big Race at Kalamazoo.

KALAMAZOO. Mich. July 1S-Esther
W., a nine-year-old mare who made her
debut in the grand circuit this year, won
the ten-thousand-dollar paper mill stake
for I'll class trotters yesterday I'm one OF
the best races ever seen in Kalamazoo.
The crowd that witnessed the event was
the largest that ever attended a race meet
here.
Baron. who was generally thought to be
the best OF the lot, made poor showing.
Esther W.. the mare that Travelled over
half mile tracks in Pennsylvania and
Ohio last year, and was sold for $500,
lost only one deal. Bergen. driven by
Geers, made a remarkable dash on the
homestretch, winning the first heat. with
Marigold Oakdale and The Wanderer
racing home ahead OF Esther w.
In the second heat Oakdale followed
Esther W., by a length under the wire
beating Marigold by a nose for second
place. Esther w. had no difficulty in
taking the third heat. but the fourth
proved to be one of the closest contests
Of the day Esther w. was leading the
field at the half mile. Oakdale. Miss Arch
dale and Baden closely following. Noses
apart the four came down the home
stretch until Baden broke. throwing the
field apart and leaving Esther W. nearly
a length in the lead.
The three heats OF the 2.l5 pace never
varied. Chimes Hal. Major Odeii. Bessie
Bee and Jessie Direct finishing in the
same order in each heat.

For the first time this season the Loff1er
club has been ousted from the Independ-
ence League leadership. The Provision
Merchants lost the hold they had on the
top berth through the medium of de-
feat suffered yesterday at the hands Of
the National club.
The Pepco nine. which has been going
along in second place for the last two or
three weeks, passed the Lofiler club and is
now in first place. Unless something
happens to the Pepco team TO put it out
of commission to the extent that it will
not show It's best form. it should be able
to hold the place until the end OF the sea-
son. Right now Pepco looks to be the
strongest nine in the league and with
one which has material enough to play on
an even basis with the Pepco nine, but
the chances are it will not for several
reasons.
The Potomac Electric Power Company
nine is one that seems to have the abil-
ity to score runs in every game in which
it takes part, and, that being the case,
with fair pitching it should win out Its
pitchers are going along in good shape,
and unless something happens to throw
them off form, which is not likely. they
should be able to hold opposing clubs
safe enough to guarantee their winning
almost every contest played from now on.
The teams in the Columbia League will
hold the record by the end of the season
for number of runs scored. There Is
scarcely a game played on the Hilltop in
which q dozen or more tallies are not
registered. Twenty-seven was the num-
Der scored yesterday in the contest be-
tween Equitable and Braddock, the lat
ter winning by IL to 10.
There is no other league In the city in
which as large scores are run up. The
American Security and Trust nine seems
to be the only club able to hold the OPP
posing teams to q minimum score.
King, who plays almost anywhere for
the National club in the Independence
League. is a competent performer and his
work in every game in which he paTt1ci-
pates Is deserving of special commenda-
ton. The youngster, besides being clever
both at bat and in the field, is fast on the
bases and versatile enough to play almost
any position. He has appeared in every
place'but back of the bat, and, judging by
what he has accomplished elsewhere. IL
must be inferred that he could make q
success Of that also were he to attempt
it. King has pitched creditably in sew
eral games.
He is about the most valuable man
on the National club and his playing has
the virtue of being what that OF few anna
teurs is-consistent.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE,

Post ONCE and the Aggies hooked up In
a seven-inning battle yesterday, Post
Office coming out ahead by a score Of 10
to 5.
Eidness, for the Aggies. again pitched
cool ball. allowing Post ONCE but six hits
and striking out five, but costly errors by
his teammates lost him the game.
Every man except Coe made - least an
error on the Aggies' team. Coe did not
get chance. There were sixteen errors
made in the game.
Cullman hit well. getting two hits and
two bases on balls out Of four times up.
Flannery pitched good bali until the
fifth, when the Aggies got next to him
for two hits and three runs. Then Fergu-
son took his place and held them safe.
Post Office had a chance Of getting ut
least two more runs, but a double play
by Eidness. Bailey and Cullen cut of
these chances.
Jimmy Kerr showed that he Is still as
young as any Of them, stealing three

class of this kind places exercise op
very definite basis, and makes the ap.
pointed hour exactly as important as any
business engagement. In many ways the
hour of exercise in the gymnasium is
even more important than the commerc al
appointment 1t is this workout, day
after day, that keeps business men in
physical trim. 1t is the living up to
definite rules that in a short time will
become a habit that places gymnasium
work in a systematic division.
Man. being gregarious animal. enjoys
those things that are engaged in through
cooperation with others. This class ar
rangement is an assurance of continuing
the work, but the very moment any man
liz left to his own devices his course OF
gymnasium work is going to boast a re-
markably short life. He has nothing to
keep up his enthusiasm. He loses inter-
est in the TIL 1gs he imagined would alb
sorb some of his time and attention. He
makes them subservient to the affairs OF.
his business life.
This has been the history of the physi-
cal fitness proposition since the beginning.
and it will continue TO be the governing
factor as long as the race of man exists.
The class idea. therefore Is highly conf
mended.

Hager covered the left garden for Ma
tioHal, while Earl Steele played In both
left and center for IIofiler. Steele got
two of his teams three hits.
King, Nationals third sacker, played q
stellar game In the field. The clever boy
accepted cleanly seven hard chances, and
his one-hand stop of Myers hard smash
in the eighth was nothing short Of sem
