Lexington. Va, September 20.-For
the present, theory has been abandoned
on the Virginia Military Institute foot
ball field. and the past week the
coaches, Poague. Wise, James and Pur-
die, have been putting the five full
squads. which are reporting for prac-
tice every afternoon through the
PAGES. Thus far 1T has been the policy
to spend most of the time on rather
light work, guarding as much as pos
sible against injuries in the early
stages Of the season.
Now. however. that the men have
heen thoroughly equipped with uni
forms and have become hardened by
three weeks Of practice and careful
dieting at the training table, scrim-
images are the order of the day Work

men in on the dummy, which has been
swung just below the parapet.
During the past week the team has
Z been weakened somewhat by injuries

BY superior pitching and BY
clouting the ball when hits meant
runs, the Bankers, of Washing
ton. defeated the Richmond Grayss
yesterday afternoon at Broad
Street Park before crowd Of
perhaps 5000 spectators in a
double bill, thereby winning the
title of undisputed amateur base
ball champions of Richmond and
Washington. The scores were
l to 4 and 8 to O.
The first game was full Of sen.
sational plays, and very much to
the liking of the spectators, al
though the Bankers had a COM
plete walkaway.
Fieule, one the mound for the
Bankers in the first game, was at
no time in danger, while Hof-}
fecker, who twirled the second
contest for the visitors, pitched:
shut-out ball, allowing only one
hit, which was secured by the
local pitcher, Saracino.

The catching honors can be
equally divided between the two
catchers. Blount and Zachary.
whose pegging to second and
headwork deserve much praise.
In the first inning of the OPEN

tallies; again in the third they.
pushed another runner across the,
pan, which practically cinched
the game.
By an error of Mcdonald and
punched hits the local lads scored
three in the third, and in the
fourth they again tailed. After
this they were unable to score
again.
Saracino pitched a shade bet
ter ball in the second than did
Canepa in the first, but the
Bankers hit the ball at oppor-
tune times, and the visiting

times when the locals might have
scored, and the Bankers won ont

When the Virginia League
magnates meet in Petersburg,
within the next week or two, and
the Coolers are awarded the
pennant as champions of the Nir-
ginia League, the leagues season
of 1913 will officially come to a
close. The playing season ended
with the final games on the 18th
of this month, but the formality
of awarding the pennant must be
enacted and the president COM
plete his record and close up his
books before the official season
is ended.
1t has always been customary
to hold this meeting, usually end
ing in neat little spread, at
which the owners tell each other
how much they think of one an
other and similar nice things, in
the city whose team finishes
ahead of every other team. We
presume that there will be no ex-
ception to the rule this season.
The last meeting held in Peters
burg caused some unpleasant
ness. 1t was at such a meeting
that the fight against c. R. Will
liams, then president of the Vir-
ginia League, began, ending in
hearing before the national board
of arbitration, as result of which
Williams was ousted and J. o.
Boatwright, present chief execu-
tive, declared elected.
Many Changes in Circnit.
There have been many changes since
those days Following the Williams
regime. the Virginia League became
an eight-club organization. The two
added clubs dropped out early, and the
fight then resolved itself into what
six cities would remain. Portsmouth

place. while there were dire prophe-
cies that Roanoke was to be led to

 The Republican is not an organ of the state administration: is not organ all It is first exponent of progressive principles, of good government and it is advocate of all good means. contributing that end.
 If it could be called an organ it would be an organ of Arizona. of the Salt River Valley. of Phoenix But organ has come to be under stood tp be thick-and-thn advocate of some party faction whose interests are not coincf- dent with those of the whole people and direct opposition to those of some other party or faction.
 The Republican is in sympathy with many of the policies of the administration but not with all of them an organ must be It has faith in the honesty of purpose of Governor Hunt. but it believes that at times, he has erred. An organ of the governor could admit his falIi- biIity.
 We believe with the governor, for instance. in prison reform but have not indorsed in edtaiI the governors methods of reform. have opposed some measures which the governor has proposed especially the abolition of capital punishment But though have agreed with the governor in all things. have hesitated to support him in many things. We have believed that it would be better for Arizona, to assist the administration than obstruct it.
 We have withheld criticism of the adminisra- ton when convinced that criticism would be obstructive ant have ndulged in criticism when beloved it would be constructive; when we had something definite propose in the place of something which believed the administration making a mistake in proposing.
 In this think we are doing more for the advancement of the commonwealth than we could accomplish by unreasonng and unvarying hostility the administration or by unrcasoning and unvarying support it.
