FuturistS.


IT,. writes Sir Francis Younghusband
I'VE stand a two-foot rule on end and
take 1t to represent the period which has
elapsed since man first appeared. it will
be only the top inch that will represent
the distance of time since the dawn of
civilization. and only the last eighth OF
an inch that will denote the period OF
European civilization"
AS far as scientists are able to judge.
the earth is still; in it's infancy. In all
probability the human race is to continue
Tor million years or so. Before us.
therefore. stretches out a vast future,
inconceivably more influential than the
past.
There are two classes of minds One
Is dominated by the past and the other
by the future. Wherever you find two or
more men gathered together you may
witness the clash of these two types.
There are conservatives and progressives
liberals and standpatters. orthodox and
heretfcS, the adventurous and the safe.
All of which amounts to saying that
there are souls gripped by what is to be
and souls gripped by what has been.
Both tendencies need the moderation OF
common sense. certain conservatism
is needed. because whatever good sense
there is in the future must grow out of
the past; civilization is a growing unit
And certain prOgressivenesS is needed,
because without it the past would par
alyZe us with its dead head. Too much
conservatism means Stagnation: too
much progreSSlveneSs means anarchy.
But 1t is the future feeling that most
needs to be developed. The past is but
too strongly intrenched already in the
consciousness of the world. 1t is from
those million years to come that we
should draw our inspiration.
Law is now and always has been but
the accumulated wisdom of the past. 1t
ought to grasp the future. There should
he more legislation for what will be than
from what has been
Education is. past-ridden. 1t should
turn more toward taking as its norm
the man yet to be than the man as he
has been or Isl
Morals that aim to make us conform
to present or bygone social standards
are irritating. but morality drawn from
what society will be can impassion us
and so develop US.
The cities of ancient times are impos-
ing in their ruins but like best to wan
der the streets of those magnificent cities
of the days to come, those dream cities
where democracy expresses itself in
beauty and the majesty of work is be-
yond all that war and kingcraft ever
devised.
Even so with life itself The greatest
contribution of religion to human life
is the gift of sense of the future-of
another life beyond this. Whether this
be provable or no, the very presence OF
the notion of it in mems minds lends
them a dignity and a power nothing
else could induce II as old age comes
on we have amassed only past. a pile of
memories and failures. then life moves
slowly on to tragedy. But If there looms
in the consciousness a feeling of a pos
sible future the mind finds in 1t verita-
BILE fountain of youth.
l make no bones of saying that / am,
or want to be, "futurist.''

TENNIS TOURNEY At
CHEVY CHASE STARTS
Opening Day of Closed Event

Contests.

Play in the mems singles event or
the closed Chevy Chase tournament
was begun yesterday afternoon. ana
several Interesting matches were got
ten out of the way. The drawings 1or
the other events will prObabl be MADE
today and play in them started tomor-
row The committee has also declded
to have a mems singles consolation
event. open to those who were de-
feated in the first round in actual play
The best match of the afternoon was
that in which Dudley D. Morgan. the
Georgetown University player, defeat
ed w G. Du Bose in straight sets
6-3. Ga. Morgan looked better than
he has ever looked before. and put up
very good game He covered a great deal
Of ground. and his returns were well
placed and had lots of sting to them.
In the second set Du Bose rallied ana
ran the score up to 4 all. but Morgan
pulled himself together and TOOK the
next two.
in which o. B. Hartman defeated }. W.
Calvert. Ga and GO being the
scores. Hartman had good stroke.
which counted almost every time ne
got it over, and in this match ne was
unusually successful. He had lots of
speed and showed greatly improved
game over his last time out which
was in the mixed doubles of the open
event last week.
AS was to be expected, Spencer Cor
don did not have much trouble In dis
posing of Edward W. Dom, jr.. the
former Princeton champion defeating
him rather easily. 60 and 60. Cor
don is going at his best this year and
will undoubtedly win the tO1cuament.
In yesterdays match he easily uot-
played his opponent and there was
never any doubt as to who would win.
But one match was played in the
second round. Walter G. Dunlop win
ing from III. b. Rowland. 6-3 and GO.
Soon after play had been started it
could be seen who was the better
player. and it was simply a question
or now many games Rowland would
win. He covered lots of ground, but
to know how to handle it. although
he did make several good gets during
the match. Dunlop showed his best
form and. in addition to the fact that
his service was hard one for Row
land to handle used good judgment.
and outguessed his opponent several
times, catching him on the wrong foot
or running away from the ball.
There will be but one challenge round
in the tournament-that for the cham
pionship of the club in the mems sin
giles. Capt. J. Upshur Moorehead is
the present title holder. and he will
be called upon to defend against this
years winner.

| LONDON IS IN DANGER
OF LOSING OLD HOUSES
Sir Isaac Newton's Home in st. Mar
tins Street Latest to Be
Placed on Sale.
LONDON, May 10. 1913.

LONDON, May 10, 1913
A very serious loss is threatened in the
small number of old London houses with
great memories that still persist. Sir
Isaac Newton's house in ST. Martin
street, off Leicester Square, is for sale
as a building site. Newton lived there
from ITO to T725. Before that it belonged
to the envoy of Denmark, for whom it
was possibly built. for the house shows
signs of being built about that time
Sixty years ago it was plaster faced, and
as in recent years it has fallen into I'M
prosperous times its exterior is not at
tractive and gives little sign of it's inte-
rior interest. The staircase still shows
the original seemliness of the house. 1t
has finely turned handrail supported by
handsome balusters and square newefs
of fine proportion. Phe stair windows
are in recesses with window seats. and
the turn and slope of the stair have all
the pleasant dignity of Queen Anne ar
Ciitecture.

TODAY'S GAME.
Ninth Street VS.. First Methodist
The FIRST Presbyterian team won it's
game yesterday from the Reformation
boys. 10 to .. The Presbyterians were
lucky in tying the score in the seventh
and in the ninth won the game when Joe
Davis. after two were down, slammed out
a pretty two-bagger. stole third and
scored when Simms fell down on jack
sons pop fly.
Church of Reformation should have
won the game hands down, but the boys
could not hold the ball. Eleven errors
were made, Floyd. at first. and Simms,
at short, making three apiece.
Jeffries pitched good game and de-
served better luck. He allowed the Pres
byterians only eight hits and did not is
sue a pass. He famed six of Dick Con-
ner's hopefuls.
Fineran. on second for the Presbyte-
rians played a consistent game. He had
six chances. two Of them verging on the
sensational. without a miscue. Davis
led the two teams in hitting. getting a
two Dagger and two singles.
If YOU want to see a crowd of frenZied
fans this afternoon go over to 18th and
d streets northeast where Ninth Street
and the First MethOdists will clash. Ii
Ninth Street wins it will tie for first
place, and 1t claims that the game has
already been won.

BARROW AFTER ROWDIES.
Suspends Swacina and Fines Two
Others for Disorderly Tactics.

NEW YORK, May 2O.-President Ed

tactics on the ball fields in the Interna-
tiOnal League. Last night he indefinitely
suspended First Baseman Swacina Of the
Newark club for his argument with I'm
pire Hayes in Newark yesterday. Mr.
Barrow says that Swacina may also be
fined If an investigation of the trouble
should warrant it.
Manager Smith Of Newark and Zim-
norman, third baseman of the same club
were fined 30 each for trouble in a game
at Rochester Saturday. Manager Smith
and Zimmerman will draw heavy suspen-
sions, says President Barrow, IL they en-
gage in further disorderly tactics during

A Constantine and Sophia.
rom the London Chronicle.

From the london Chronicle.
The accession of King Constantine at
the present juncture will create a deep
impression on those of his subjects who
are superstitious. Ever since his mar
rage it has been regarded as presage
of good fortune that the future King and
Queen of the Hellenes should bear the
names of Constantine and Sophia. The
wife of Constantine the Great was So
phia and there is a tradition centuries
old which obtains wide credence that
when a Constantine and Sophia shall
once more reign in Hellas. Constantinople
will belong to the Hellenes."
