McLoughlin slated for title.

Maurice Mclaughlin. the Pacific coast
player who has been having things his
own way IN the tennis tournaments this
season, is likely to realize the prize for
which he has been striving for the past
four years. Should he win from Wal
lace F. Johnson. and there is every
reason to suppose that he will defeat
him tomorrow, Mclaughlin will take
the premier tennis honor of the year.
Larned has not appeared in competition
this season on account of rheumatism.
and the crown will be awarded to Nc
Loughlin.

Sheppard Is Winner
Over Olympic Stars

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-Mel Shep-
pard is receiving congratulations today
on his defeat of Meredith and Kiviat,
the Olympic stars, in the half-mie
race at the knights of Columbus meet
yesterday. The time was exceptionally
slow, all of the athletes being tired out
by the celebration of yesterday.
Matt" McGTath, fresh from his
triumphs with the sixteen-pound ham
mer at Stockholm. won the thirty-five-
pound weight throwing contest with a
heave of fifty-two feet nine and half
inches. McGraths performance is
eleven and half inches better than he
own worlds record.

Foster Successful
With Hit and Run
Style of Batting

"Fateen" Foster, the Climbers
midget third baseman, is being
touted everywhere as the best
hit-and-run batsman in the Amer
ican League and one of the
smoothest fielders in that posi-
tion. He is the only player on
Griff's club to be depended upon
to succeed with the hit-and-run,
and his ability with this play
has done much to make Dan
Moeller one of the best run-get-
ters in the League.

Mathewson Liable
To Lose Laurels in
Giants-Sox Series

With the Giants and Red Sox meet

Mathewson is likely to lose his
laurels. A couple of years ago he
faced the Red Sox in a post-sea-
son series, and was sadly pound
ed by each and every one of the
Boston sluggers. "Muggsy" Nc
Graw will very likely have to de-
pend upon Marquard and Jeff Tes-
reau for the twirling this season.

Prospects at Virginia.

Football prospects at Virginia loom
up rather brightly, according to advance
notices from the university, and the
Orange and Blue is expected to have
many stars on the eleven this year.
While it Is too early to get a line on
any team in the country owing to the
fact that the game has been changed,
the men to report at the Charlottesville
institution are a likely string of candi-
dates which should come up to expecta-
tions.

The Virginia amateurs.

The movement to have an amateur
league OF the Virginia cities appear to
be a good one which in time should
spread all over the country. The project
is not too large to be undertaken. as
evidenced by the Printers Union base
ball teams, which held a tourney at
Boston last week. All of the Virginia
cities are expected to get in behind the
movement. which should bring out a
good series at the close of the seas son.

Walker to "come back"

Clarence Walker, who goes to Kansas
City with Tiny Vaughn in exchange
for young Gallla, a green pitcher,
should come back next year to the big

outfielders far below his standard. He
is fast, can hit, and pegs to bases like

here who are sorry to see him go and

Grahame-White to Devote Time to
Aeroplane Manufacture.

NEW YORK, January S.-Claude era
hame- White. who will sail for Europe
this week, has decided TO give up fyins
and will henceforth devote his time 10
the manufacture of aeroplanes.
1.-THE demand of aviation crowds for
spectacular flight is gradually driving all
the sane men out of the exhibition bust
ness" declares Grahame-White in his
valedictory. "Nine-tenths OF the deaths
are due to aviators trying to fly under
adverse conditions or trying stunts too
far out of the ordinary.
Unfortunately aviation has not attract
ed a desirable element. Variety artists,
chauffeurs and other men OF their Kind
have rushed into it because 1t afforded a
new way to make money. Hardly one of
these men has any idea of the. mechanical
construction, and this unskilled driving
leads To the majority of accidents"

Ice on Ponds of District
Furnishes Sport for Skaters

Probably every pair Of ice skates in
the District was at work yesterday.
Scores OF ponds in the suburbs were COW
cred with skaters, one Of the most popu-
lar being the pond at the eastern en-
trance to the Zoo. The hardy ducks
and geese which own that pond for a
home were at last captured when the
Ice grew strong enough for their keepers
to corral the birds. and are now confined
in winter quarters. AT the Zoo today 1t
was said that the birds would rather
stay in that freezing water all winter
and cannot be caught until the ice Is
thick enough for a keeper to go after
them.
One of the geese is a we'll known ice
breaker. When the first tinge OF frost
makes the ice crystals shoot out on the
surface OF the pond this old goose plows

into the crisp surface like an arctic
whaler. It is a constant fight between
Jack Frost and the goose. However.
the last cold snap was too much for the
bird.
The bears at the Zoo are having the
time Of their lives. Cold weather puts
what the keeper calls pep into their
shaggy systems. The polar bears. of
course, feel at home. but, strange to say.
they stand all weathers, even torrid Au-
gust days, much better than the brown

have been taken to a warm spot, except
those who like snow and frost. The GEN.
trail steam heating plant at the Zoo has
been keeping the animal houses at a
temperature ranging from so to 20 de-
grees, depending on the needs of the
animals.

eral
The report declares that the postage
rate on first-class or letter mail, al
though excessive. being one-half great
er than the cost of handling and trans
portation, the profit derived is not
sufficient to Offset the loss sustained
on second-clasS matter, which is COM
posed of newspapers. magazines and
other periodical publications. The ex
cess in charge upon the letter mail,
the report states, amounts to a tax
upon more than 100000 people for
the direct benefit of about 10000 who
are publishers. In other words, for
each publisher directly benefited about
800 individuals are unjustly taxed"

Regarded as Solution.

The increase of the rate of postage on
second-class mail to cents a pound, the
report states, would be considered step
in the right direction, and such addi-
tional increase as may be found neces-
sary to meet the entire cost may be left
for future determination. The present
rate of postage charged on this class of
matter is I cent a pound, or fraction
thereof. The total mailings of this class
OF matter last year, the report states,
amounted to almost 1,OHt,OOU,C0O pounds.
The report also recommends that the
attention of Congress be invited to the
extraordinary amount of advertising in
publications mailed ut the second-claSs
rates, that the matter may be remedied
in such way as may be deemed proper.
The report deals with the revenues and
expenditures of the postal service, the
issue and sale of postage stamps and
stamped paper, the operation of the reg
istry and money order services and sub
jectS germane to each.
