ONE SUBSCRIPTION
 MAY WIN THE AUTO

After several weeks of constan, work on the part of several live con- testants, the big Examiner subscrip- tion contest comes to a close little more than a week from today, after 1 one of the most remarkable campaigns of it's kind ever pulled off in this part of the country.
 April 22 will witness the end-the finish, the wind-up- the Examiner great automobile contest, which has interested thousands during the past few weeks It will mean, too, the end of the strenuous work contestants have been doing since the contest started
 Further, the winners will have achieved the reward they have looked forward to. They will have no re- grets for time and energy they have spent in the work
 For the last few days great changes in the actual standing of the contest ants have been made Special bal lots have been issued, but have not been voted. These ballots together with all others that are issued to the closing of the contest, are the ones to decide who will be the lucky ones All ballots must be voted before 500 o'clock, on April p.
 A few days remain for voting-the contest is now upon the threshold of the end. It is now time to "spur" up for the final stand. The final chances of success are now at hand. Every hour counts, and the contestants who are not on the lookout will find all things counting against them for not using the last spare moments.
 Dark horses may take the lead at any moment and the present leaders places in the race, which are consid- cred by some to be we'll in advance now, may be distanced at the close. Wire-pulling is done, but it is with charming good nature that the intense rivalry prevails. Every one has the unqualified assurance of fairness and knows that all that is necessary to make a candidate a winner is to vote for him or her. GET BUSY AND VOTE.
 No contestant, no matter how splen- did vote they have already secured, may feel sure of success at the finish.
 There are many indications that the vote of the leading contestants is sur prisingly equal, and that it will be a fight to the finish between the differ ent aspirants for the prizes.
 To underestimate the strength of an opponent might mean the loss of the victory for any contestant.
 That they may preserve greater chances for success, every contestant should secure as large vote as they possibly can with consistent effort within the few remaining days
 It will be infinitely more satisfac- tory to contestant to win with a few votes to spare than to fall few votes short of the number necessary to win the victory.
 The victory as yet is anybody's vic tory, and it will take the work of these final and critical hours of the contest to determine the final out come.
 The question of success rests en- tirely in the hands of the contestants. Any contestant can win who will to do so.

The art exhibit featured by the Yu- ma grammar school is attracting a great deal of attention and is very worthy of the favorable comment re- ceived. The work includes not only excellent finished products from the upper classes, but cute and cunning drawings, paintings and freehand pa per cutting work from the first and second grades.
 The display, taken as a whole, is a delight to the eye of the passersby as well as to the most appreciative minds of reliable critics. The displa, IS indeed excellent and in some cases the reproductions bear the earmarks or brushmarks of a skilled illustra- tor.

THERE ARE JUST SEVEN DAYS
 MORE IF THE CONTEST FOR AUTO

Jean Ingelow's poem, 'The Birth, days,'' we think is most apropos here as it brings out vividly the importance of seven times one" In conformity with this expression the importance of the seven remaining days of the contest is brought before the several contestants with the same emphasis which impressed the little girl in the poem upon her famous seventh birth day.
 Coming down the home stretch, con- testants are bending every effort to- ward realizing the prize for which they have been working so zealously for the past six weeks. Knowing well that the last few days are the most i'm portant ones in this interesting bat tie they are spurred by new energy, by new courage. Seven more days a short span compared with the time passed on this contest. The eager ones who have worked so hard to win the game realize the necessity of do ing their utmost RIGHT NOW, AND FOR THE FOLLOWING SEVEN DAYS, or some other contestant may jump into their field which they have tried to win so laborously.
 Remember that no achievement in practical life has been accomplished without steady and perseverart work. It was necessary that the person who strived to obtain a certain success had to hustle for it and not have to go after it. There are probably some of your friends or even close relatives you have not called on for the purpose of soliciting their newspaper sub scription. Remember that the the easient persons to get business from are in most cases people whom you have never met before. Consider this contest as a business proposition and handle it accordingly. Don't say to yourself: ''Oh there is no use of see ing Mr. Smith or Mrs. Fisher, or Miss Stuckup, for they will surely not give me a subscription. But call on them and talk business to them-you may be surprised at the end that MT. Smith and Mrs. Fisher and Miss Stuckup were the easiest persons to do business with. Canvass the er tire community over again, from house to house, tell them that a newspaper will brighten their lives, that every good citizen should share in keeping Hp his local newspaper for they are the most important factors who hell to boost your town.
 Remember that you have something for sale which is an absolute neces- sity for the civilized person, which is we'll worth the money and which all most everybody can afford to buy,
 Hustle, Hustle, and work and in sev- en days you will bear the. smile of satisfaction-the smile of success and self-confidence which follow; the proof that you can accomplish what you once undertook to do.

GOLFERS TOO CASUAL.
Daily Mail Laments Faults and Calls
Americans Deliberately Careful.

LONDON. April 13.-In an editorial on
the golfing invasion of Great Britain the
Daily Mail laments that British golfers
are as deliberately casual as American
competitors are deliberately careful
They bring to these international con-
tests says the writer. IAN extra keen
ness, stronger desire to win. a sounder
and more scientific habit of insurance
against risks and a far greater readiness
to submit to the necessary trouble and
discipline. The consequence is that we
rarely turn a potentially first rate man
into an actually first rate man, and we
are singulariy behindhand in discovering
and applying all the hundred and one
little devices that mean the difference
between failure and success.
Pretty nearly all the inventions that
in the last few years have been intro
duced into horse racing. billiards, lawn
tennis, sprinting and jumping have come
to use from abroad, and it is only reluct-
antly that we have condescended to eX-
pertinent with them. These American
golfers are SO early on the ground and
so anxious to neglect nothing that will
help them to victory that they are some
thing more than good sportsmen and
valued rivals. They are also an object
lesson in the right sort of efficiency

POLO PLAYERS TAKE BREATHER
Gallop About Field to Keep Selves
and Ponies in Shape.

LAKEWOOD, April 13.-Thoush no
position play was indulged in by the
candidates for the polo team to meet the
Englishmen, several of the players were
on the Georgian court field and INDUCED
in practice calculated to keep them
selves and the ponies from stiffening up.
Devereux Milburn was the only inter-
nationalist to knock the ball around,
but others mounted for the practice
gallops were Rene La Montague, Malcolm
Stevenson, c. c. Rumsey and c. +.
Beadleston. The work was in charge of
j. c. Cooley. jr., and J. A. Rawlins.
Fl. l.. Herbert. chairman of the Polo
Association, said that the work in the
two real practice games played 50 far
had been entirely satisfactory, and that
he was particularly pleased with the
condition of the ponies, which look
strong and fit for the strenuous cam
paign. The players viii be shifted
around with the idea of finding the posi-
tions for which they are best suited,
but occasionally the old reliable men
will be lined up together, SO that they
may have opportunities to practice team
play. The next lineup will be tomor-
row.

BY h. c. BYRD.

Many base ball games are scheduled to
be played by the local colleges this week.
Two contests are booked today. one be-
tween Princeton and Georgetown, and tho
other between Catholic University and
Fordham. and almost every day the
teams will be kept busy.
The game today at Georgetown should
be a nightly well contested affair. The
Blue and Gray nine is playing in much
better form than usual. and it is fairly
certain that it will have pitching above

is more than probable that Tyson will
do the work, provided he is in shape.
Princeton will pitch Deyo. who made such
q fine showing against Catholic Univer-
sity the other day, and with him In the
box Georgetown is not apt to find it as
easy to hit the ball as it did when Cope
land was doing the flfnging in the first
two innings of last Saturdays contest.
Fordham to Meet C. q.
Fordham will appear at Catholic Uni
versity, and. to judge by the scores Of the
games played by the New Workers, they
have a nine above the average. The
Fordham team lost it's most important
contest SO far. one with Cornell, by a
score Of / to ., which shows it to be ca
pable of giving the best teams in this sec

antee that there will be at least two
other boats entered.

NATIONALS bATTED
WELL IN PRACTICE
Regulars Hit for More Than
800 Average in Training
Season Games.
MILAN LEADS FIELDERS,
NOT HAVING AN ERROR
Every Member of the Team Seems
to Have Shown Good Form
in Some Way.

The Nationals regulars have batted for
an average of more than 800 during their
training season. The squad as whole
averaged .240. Henry. who has played
in twenty games. leads with .439, while
Williams, in twelve games. also is over
the 400 mark. Milan has hit $40. These
are the highest attainments, but several
others have accomplished away above the
average with their bats. Morgan, WaIlie
Smith and Moeller are batting over the
800 mark. while Shanks is within .Oo3
of it. In fact, all the players appear to
have regained their batting eyes.
Milan Leading Fielder.
Milan leads in fielding. with a perfect
score in the twenty games in which he
participated. having accepted thirty-hve
chances without an error. and several of
them were pretty hard ones to handle
Wallie Smith, at second has done ex-
ceedingly well, and also at the short field
The whole team is in good condition and
should give good account of itself.
Milan leads in total bases, with thirty
seven to his credit, followed by Sharks
with thirty-four, who also has the
honor of making the first and only home
run. Morgan is third with thirty Shanks
and Wallie Smith are tied for first place
as sacrifice hitters with four each Noel
Ter leads the team in stolen bases with
ten. followed by Morgan with nine The
pitchers have shown up we'll in the ex-
hibttion games against the National
League teams, having won five and lost
three. and they lost more through errors
than their own faulty work. A perusal
of the figures will give a better idea Of

in the opening game tomorrow until a

did the rest Manager Griffith intended
sending the great pitcher into action in
the final inning of the contest. and he
started warming up back of first base
The crowd that had begun couple of
innings earlier to edge toward the en-
trance made the space near the visitors
bench a point of gravitation, and by the
time johnson had sent a half dozen balls
to his receiver the territory around the
initial sack was packed with fans anxious
to get a look at the hurler and his line
