When the Tide Turned


It was not until the Democratic con.
vention, which met on August 20, had
completed it's work that conditions
changed so as to give Lincoln any hope
of success, While the convention was
still in session the news came that sher
man, who had been conducting his cam
paign against Atlanta, had taken the
city. Soon after Sheridan won some VIC
tories and the Democratic platform, which
had declared the war to be failure was
repudiated by General Mcclellan. II ths
Democrats had met a week later they
would have adopted a very different piat
form and would have refrained from IN
suIting the soldiers in the field. Mcclef
Ian then would have been much stronger
candidate. The changed situation was
followed by the withdrawal OF tremon'
and the union of the Democratic oppost
ton on Lincoln.
But even then Lincoln was still douot
full of the outcome. After the Democrats
won the congressional election IN TINS
State in October he summoned the sta'e
leaders to Washington to take couhsei

"The War a Failure"

Lincoln came much nearer defeat than
Madison. If the election in 1854 had been
held in August, it is morally certain that
Mcclellan would have become President
There was widespread dissatisfaction with
the conduct of the war. The Union armies
were winning no victories. There is no
doubt that the Democratic convention.
which declared in it's platform that ths
war was a failure, expressed the sent.
ment of many patriotic men of the North.
The convention of opponents of Lincoln,
which met in May and nominated John c.
Fremont, were in favor of the vigorous
prosecution of the war, but did not be.
lieve that Lincoln was the man to do the
work. For some time before the Repub.
lican convention met, on June Z, Lincoln
had been afraid that his own party would
repudiate him. The leaders were against
him and were casting about for sue.
cessor. Fremont had been nominated in
the hope that the party could unite on
him.
Lincoln was so discouraged that on
August 23 he wrote: This morning, as
for some days past, 1t seems exceedingly
probable that this Administration will
not be reelected. Then it will be my
duty to cooperate with the President.
elect so as to save the Union between
the election and the inauguration, as he
will have secured his election on such
ground that he cannot possibly save II
afterward."
He put this memorandum in an en-.
velope, sealed it, and when he met the
members of his Cabinet in the council
room later in the day he asked them to
write their names on the envelope. When
they had complied he put it in his pocket.
1t was not opened until after the election,
when Lincoln told his advisers that the
envelope they had indorsed contained

would do everything possible to save the

SCHULTZ is HAVING
BIG YEAR WITH CUBS

Chicago. June ls-what do you make
Of the case of Frank Schultz, Of the
Cubs? In 1911 he hit for 800. In 1912 he
totaled -2S4. in 1913 It was 27S. in 1914 1t
was .2I and last year it was .24.
And now here Is Schultz in 1916 his
fourteenth in the majors and his thirty
fourth on this earth breezing along with
the race at a whirlwind clip.
Up to the present time Schultz has hit
far beyond any mark he ever annexed
during his long career in the majors And
he shows no signs of cracking" Rather
he is hitting them harder and oftener
every week. At the advanced age Of "a
years old Wildfire ought to be headed in
the general direction OF the baseball junk
yard But. instead. his average, far be-
yond the 800 figure. points him directly
toward the goal of every batsman-the
clubbing leadership of his league.

case of Frank Schultz to that of many
others TO support the claim that base

Football Rules Committee
Hands Out Code of Ethics

beginning to learn the game, the rules
committee has decided to publish In the
official book OF rules the following sug-
gestions:
Holding is prohibited by the rules be-
cause 1t does not elobng in the game of
football. 1t is unfair plaiy. 1t elicinates
skill. The slowest man in the world
could make a 40-yard run in every play
II the rest OF his teammates would hold
their opponents long enough. The game
Is to advance the ball by strategy, skill
and speed without holding your oppon-
ent
Coaching from the side lines is pro-
hibited in the rules because 1t Is consid-
cred an unfair practice The game Is to
be played by the players using their own
muscle and their own brains. II an
onlooker having seen all the hands in a
game OF cards. undertook to tell one of
the players what card to play. the other
players would have cause to object.
Beating the BALI by an unfair use
OF a starting signal is nothing less than
deliberately stealing an advantage from
the other side. An honest starting sig
nal is good football, but a starting signal
which has for its purpose starting the
team a fraction of a second before the
ball is put in play, in the hope that it
will not be detected by the officials, Is
nOJnlnB snort OF CrOOkeunesS. II Is the
same as II a sprinter in a 1OO-yard dash
had a secret arrangement with the
starter to give him a tenth OF a second
warning before he blew the whistle
Talking to your opponents, il 1t falls
short OF being abusive or insulting, is
not prohibited by the rules, partly be-
cause 1t ought not to be necessary and
partly because no rules can make a gen.
tleman out of mucker. No good
sportsman is ever guilty OF cheap talk to
his opponents.
when an official imposes a penalty
or makes a decision he is simply doing
his duty as he sees It, He is on the
field representing the integrity of the
game of football, and his decision. even
though he may have made a mistake in
judgment, is final and conclusive and
should be so accepted. Even II you
think the decision is a mistaken one
take your medicine and do not whine
about It. II there is anything 10 be said
let your captain do the talking. That's
his business. Yours is to keep quiet and
play the game"

BILL MALONE ANSWERS
THE CARDINALS Def

Sporting Editor: Referring to letter re-
Gently published in The Herald from Mr..
Harvey Crump, manager of the Aiexan-
dria Cardinals, stating that II Is his
desire, and that of many, to witness a
series of games between the Cardinals
and the County Athletic team, will you
please state through your columns that
am willing to meet the Cardinals in a
series of games and in order to talk over
details will be glad to meet Mr.. Crump
at The Herald sporting Office Thursday
night of this week.
By reason of our record last year, we
claim the independent championship of
the District and northern Virginia, and
as defendants of that title we are natur-
ally in position to name the conditions
| of the series. While. as stated above.
the details can be arranged at the meet
ing. 1 wish to state the following:
As defendants of the title the first
| game should be played on our grounds
without toss of coin.
Due to the recent law, Sunday games
| cannot be played in Alexandria City. ne
cessitating Saturday games, at which the
Cardinals always draw we'll and admis-
sion can be charged Clarendon being a
truly suburban town, does not draw on
Saturday afternoon and no admission
can be charged on Sunday, so that to be
| fair to both, the receipts should be split
| fifty-ffty.
As to umpires, our regular man has
proved himself to be both fair and ef-
| ficient and, working with the Cardinals
man. should be entirely satisfactory. be-
sides II any Sunday games are played.
a professional umpire could not be used.
II the games are arranged 1t Is our

Boston, Mass, June 19.-A code of
ethics TO govern the game of football be-
yond the point where the rules now stop
was announced last night by E. K. Hall.
of Dartmouth, chairman Of the football
rules committee. All the members of
the committee, which comprises fourteen
graduate representatives of various col
leges in the East and Middle West, sub
scribed to the code. 1t is the first such
formulation of principles to be drawn
up for any sport in this country, accord
ing TO those who planned 1t.
Summarizing the code, the committee
states: You may meet players. and even
coaches. who will tell you that it is all
right to violate the rules II you do not
get caught. This is the code that OBJ
tsins among sneak thieves and pick
pockets. The crime in their code is in
getting caught.
The football code is different. The
player who Intentionally violates a rule
is guilty of unfair play and unsportsman-
like tactics, and, whether he escapes
being penaliEed, he brings discredit to
the good name of the game"
The code, as finally promulgated by the
committee, follows:
Both in play and by tradition foot
ball is distinctively an academic game
the game Of the schools and the colleges.
The friends of the game must accord
ingly rely on the schools and colleges for
the preservation OF its past traditions and
the maintenance OF the high standards OF
sportsmanship in its play which are to
he expected in n distinctively academic
game.
In some sports it is possible to attain
reasonably high standards simply by the
adoption and enforcement OF rules, but
that is not true in football There are
so many men engaged in action, the ac-
ton is so rapid and so constantly shift
ing that it is impossible for any official
TO discover every possible infraction OF
tha rules
The committee, in the remodeling OF
the rules that has gradually taken place
in the last ten days, has endeavored TO
prohibit and suitably penalize all forms
OF unfair tactics and practices - II has
also endeavored, so far as possible. with
out affecting the integrity Of the game
itself. to remove special temptation or
opportunity for Unsportsmanlike play.
