FORECAST FOR COMING WEEK,

cOnECAo1 EUk CUMlNG WEEK..
Washington, D. c., April 27-Mas-
sachusetts promises to furnish the
most interesting political news of the
coming week.. Presidential prefer
ence primaries will be held there to
select all delegates to the coming ma
tiOnal political conventions. The
primaries in the Bay state will offer
a test of sentiment different from any
that has gone before, inasmuch. as
they will not be complicated with To-
cal fights of any kind. They are
called for the sole purpose of elect
ing delegates to the national conven-
tions and they will not affect single
state or county Office. They will not
even be indicative Of sentiment af-
fecting the governoship, or national
issues, for that mater, for the state
convention is eliminated and the
Massachusetts delegates to Chicago
and Baltimore will not be governed
even by platform. e
The names Of Taft, Roosevelt and
La Toilette will appear on. the Repub-
lican ballot in Massachusetts,. Both
Taft and Roosevelt have visited the
state several times during the past
z two months and It is generally admit
ted that the race between them will
be close. On the Democratic ballot
will appear the names OF Clark and
Wilson, though It is understood that
the Massachusetts, delegates at Balti-
more will vote for Governor Foss on
the first ballot. The primary results
will determine who is to be second
choice Of the Massachusetts, Demo-
Gratis.
Both Taft and Roosevelt are fight
ling for the New Hampshire delegates,

that they shared a common emotion.

the discovery, whatever it may be,
and the vicar to have had it second

I glanced at the hastily-clad clergy

seated beside him, and was amused at
the surprise which Holmes simple de-
duction had brought to their faces.

words first" said the vicar, and then

details from Mr.. Tregennis, or wheth-

scene of this mysterious affair. may
explain, then, that our friend here
spent last evening in the company Of
his two brothers, Owen and George,
and Of his sister Brenda, at their
house of Tredannick Wartha, which
IS near the old stone cross upon the
moor. He left them shortly after ten
O'Clock playing cards round the dining
room table, in excellent health and
spirits. This morning, being an early
riser, he walked in that direction be-
fore breakfast, and was overtaken by

sister lay back stone-dead in her chair,
while the two brothers sat on each

singing, the senses stricken clean out

woman and the two demented men,

West N!rginia's baseball schedule is

be played between the varsity and the

the most important ones on the SEIZED.
ule which were played on the road
were lost. The greatest trouble this
season seemed to lie in the pitching
stan. although bad fielding at times,
coupled with poor throwing. helped to
lose several OF the games. The pitch
ers have been going better since the
series with Washington and jefferson
and no trouble will be experienced
with the teams which the varsity will
play between now and the close OF
the season. The bows are still work

Greatest Athletes That Ever

II Is the opinion of many experts
that several records will fall before
the mighty athletes who will COM
pete In the Olympic tryouts TO be
held in Cambridge. Mass. June s.
While II is improbable that a score
OF old marks will be swept from the
books, IL is considered certain that
with a warm day. fast track and good
field at least eight new records will
be established.
So that there will be American
classics as we'll as Olympic. the
American committee will arrange the
distances according to the English
system OF feet and yards as we'll as
the metric system.
In each contest wheer a contestant
promises to perform in record form.
the track will be paid out in yards
as well as meter marks. and in the
field events they will be measured
with the English and metric meas
ures.
In this way the middle distance

tinue to the half mile mark: those i'm
the 1900 meter event to the one-mile
mark. and the 200 meter sprinters TO
the 220 mark.

CINCINNATI, June THE fact
that the New York Giants at present
are making sort of runaway race
OF IL In the National league does not
mean that the pennant is already fy-
ing over the Polo grounds. On the
contrary. there Is a good prospect OF
any one of several teams overtaking
the Giants before they have gone the
full distance. The fact must not be
forgotten that McGraw's men have
been playing in extraordinary luck
this season. so far as having the team
crippled. None OF the regulars who
are at all important 20 the success OF
the aggregation have been absent for
any length OF time. so that the Giants
have been playing practically with an
intact team. while the other mines who
are considered contenders for the
pennant-the Reds, Cubs, Pirates and
Phillies-have suffered more or less
through accident to some OF their
stars. and so have been handicapped
in their hht for honors. II is rea-
sonable to suppose that some sort OF
misfortune will overtake the Giants
before the season Is much farther
advanced: and when this does happen
the other teams will get into as
close proximity TO the New Workers
as they deserve TO be.
That there is intense interest all
over the country in the success of the
Reds is shown by the large numbers
