WONDERFUL FINISH WINS
MCL0UGHLIN TENNIS TITLE

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 27.-Califor-
MAS sweep of the lawn tennis honors
of the country was completed Yesterday
when Maurice E. Mclaughlin, of San
Francisco, won the championships in
singles from Wallace F. johnson of
Philadelphia, in out of sets. The
scores were 3-6, 2-6, Ga, GA. 60 Nc
Loughltn holds the CHAMPIONSHIPS in
doubles, with Thomas c. Bundy. of Los
Angeles
Mclaughlin was a to favori+e
when the players came onto the court
but after the first few games Johnson
got his low chop stroke working in ex-
cellent shape and for two sets the Cal
norman was unable to handle it.
At one time Johnson was within two
games of the championship McLough-
lin, however, pulled himself together
and fathOming the mysteries of tha
PhlIadelphian's low cut stroke smashed
the balls across the court and squared
the match. After that Johnson tired
rapidly and Mclaughlin had no dim
Guilty in clinching the contest and the
championship.
This is the first year that the tennis

NHATTANOOGA, TENN. Aug.
27.-It seems like the one
best bet that Kid Elberfeld
will be the next manager Of the
Lookouts. or course, nothing Off
cial has been stated, but every in
dication points to the Tabasco Kid
as the man who will be finally Sc
lected for the local managerial
staff.
The former Senator and Yankee
and President o. B., Andrews en-
gagged in a controversy this spring,
whose intensity 1t was thought
would prevent the formers ever
coming here, but subsequent de-
velopments have greatly mitigated
the ill-feeling between the two.
The one point at variance be-
tween the two at present appears to
be the desire of Elberfeld to pur-
chase block of stock in the club
and the unwillingness of the pres
ent stockholders that he should do
so. The Kid. so 1t is understood.
is unwilling to sign up under any
other conditions.

By "Bud" Fisher

Elberfeld is greatly liked here
and his arrival would be accepted
with general approval by fandom.
but there are a number of close
students Of the game who question
his managerial ability, in view of
the temperament which he has
shown in the past. According to
Clark Griffith, the Kid was prima-
rily responsible for the disruption
OF the Yankees just before his de-
parture, and 1t is a known fact
that he refused to have him under
his direction at Washington this
year.
Furthermore, his part in the Nc
Elveen matter in Atlanta indicates
to some extent that he is not pos
sessed Of any too great self-c con-
troll and equanimity.
The Kids ability as a ball play
err, however, can not be questioned
nor his knowledge of the game. If
he proves to be a man that can lead
the players, he will undoubtedly
make one of the best pilots in the
circuit

A MINING CENTER.
By Sigurd Russell.

Charleroi,' Pennsylvania, is in min
ing and industrial center, located forty
miles from Pittsburg. It's sky is gray
with smoke and never clears. Many of
the inhabitants work all day under the
ground and do not see the smoky sky
1t lies on the side of a river that twists
its muddy waters through the city. Its
shore lines are completely owned by phil
anthropic trusts and are covered with
mills mine shafts and freight cars by
the thousands. The horizon is broken
by hideous and vomiting smokestacks,
immense iron structures, putting engines
and here and there mine entrances.
The miners of this busy valley have
for years struggled to free themselves
from the oppression of the master class,
Sometimes they have remained on strike
for year at time.
The miners live in narrw smoky houses
owned by others and that look like
match boxes standing ON ends and having
a sharp and pointed roof and packed
close together like sardines. These habi-
tations illustrate eloquently the life and
story of the miner, what he gets, but
not what he gives.
In this hell the working men are
marching nearer and nearer to socialism.
In the town of Chareroi there is So
cialist cooperative store. 1t was estab-
lished in 1902 All efforts to crush it
have failed. 1t owns a three-story brick
building a hundred feet long and is the
cleanest, best equipped and best man
aged store in town Since its existence
it has established a branch at Monessen.
During the last three months it has
done $4,000 worth of business. Tt has
been paying good dividends on purchases.
With one dollar You become a member
Doctor bills for yourself and family are
paid, and you receive the best goods for
the lowest prices.
1t is managed by manager who can
not act without the orders of a board of
nine directors who meet weekly. The
comrades who are the most active for
the cooperative store are also doing
splendid socialist propaganda in Char
leroi and neigbboring towns. Socialist
meetings are advertised I'm the store.

THE PARTY OF THE NEW
TIME.


Il ia becoming mon, and more evident |
that a political party built mp by the
great personality OF one man and hisI
allen il ont Of date.
rlmc was when there wa no other
way to build n party except by means
of great leader aud with noise and
ghmour but that time has passed Ihcl
new time requires that instead of the
people being aroused occasionally they
must educate themselves constantly.
During the last few months we have
witnessed alleged great men rs they
rantod throughout the country, nrousing
the people to save the nation from the
greed of corporations; and without
questioning personal motves-it seemed
that Roosevelt had won the day. But
his following, great as it was, cvapor.
atcd into thin air, after few hours
conflict with the organized forces OF
wealth.
The same thing has repeatedly hap
pcned to Bryan and his following, and
while it may seem that they have gained
n point here and there and may succeed
in electing the next president it is all
too evident that they are inadequate to
hold out long against the organized
forces of capitalism--t osay nothing of
forces of capitolism-to say nothing of
against them too.
Few men in history have had suf-
ficicnt personality to attract and hold a
following for a considerable length Of
time, and it must be admitted that
Bryan is the highest of that type today.
But, if he possessed the wisdom of The
world, he and his poorly organized fol
lowers would be unable in this time to
reach the desired goal
Such parties have seen their day, but
they are too much ON the order of the
flock that follows the bell-wether. Like
the sailboat and the stagecoach, they
were good in their time, but this is a
new time-"New times demand new
measures and new men, The world ad-
vances and in time outgrows the laws
that in our fathers day were best and
doubtless after us some purer scheme
will be shaped by wiser minds than
We"
The political party of the new time
must be rooted in present day eco
Monies. 1t must be made up of men
who are bound to its principles through
perfect organization. Its principles must
express the economic interests of the
useful workers. It's organization must
be all powerful and move with precision
along the lines determined by its col
lective intelligence.
Such is the socialist party. No man
can speak for it alone. 1t speaks for all
men. No man can embrace it or de-
liver it. He would automatically elm
mate himself from it if he attempted
such thing.
1t is the party of the new time. The
only party of which the capitalists need
be afraid, 1t is the only party through
which the working man can have any
hope for deliverance. It's message is the
hope of the world.
