as was Thomas Jefferson, yet he is one of the most democratic of men a democrat with small "d," but at the same time Republican with a big "R."
 One of his greatest interests is road building. He has proposed to give the people of Delaware boule- ward, POO feet wide and 100 miles long, running from one end of the state to the other, and in the work on this road he has lived with the build CTS and run road roller with his own hands.
 General DuPont was formerly at the head of the great powder making concern that bears the family name, but he severed his connection with it at the outbreak of the European war. He said he did not want to be identi- fled with the manufacture of powder for use in foreign wars. Sentiment, however, has led him to make sum- mer home of the old stone mill on the Brandywine where his forefathers ground the powder that was sent out through the wilderness of the Middle West q century ago to enable Com modore Perry to win the battle of Lake Erie.
 General DuPont is in his prime fifty-three years of age-and fit for a great political fight. He himself has not yet said that he IS candi-
 date for President, but if he enters the lists it is foregone conclusion
 that he will be big factor in what happens at Chicago next June.

GEORGE SMITH WINS 42ND
 KENTUCKY DERBY
Colt Lasts ust Long; Enough to Beat the Eng
 fish Bred Star Hawk.

Louisville, Ky, May 13.-George Smith, three-year-old, running in the colors of John Sanford of Amster- dam, N. Y., won the 42d annual rum ming of the Kentucky Derby at the Churchill Downs today with 117 pounds up. The colt covered the mile and a quarter in 2.04. He was third choice in the betting, the pari-mutuel tickets paying slightly better than 4 to 1.
 Star Hawk, the English colt, was half a length behind the winner and gaining in every stride. Franklin was third.
 The other five starters were strung out for an eighth of a mile.
 One of the largest crowds that ever attended the derby saw Governor Stanley of Kentucky place wreath of roses around George Smiths neck, and present a boquet to Jockey Lofuts.

Enter new candidate for the Re- publican presidential nomination in the person of Thomas Coleman DuPont, of Delaware.
 With the Republican national con- vention barely two months in the future the c. o. P. seems utterly at a loss as to what man to name for President There are dozen hats in the ring, but none that carries the plume of winner like the white plume of Henry of Navarro. Hence a new contender for presidential honors becomes an object of im- mediate and widespread interest.
 General DuPc,s., accordingly, has the spotlight. Hc is hailed as can didate upon whom the business men of the country-big business men and small, laboring men and farm CTS, who, after all, are the most inn portant business men in the country can unite.
 DuPont himself has been a success in many lines of endeavor. As a miner and member of the miners union-he spent two years with g pick and shovel at the job of digging coal-mining engineer and mine operator, builder of steam and cleo. tric railroads. director of great in. dustrial corporations and the geniu, who gave New York one of it's great est hotels and its greatest ofic, building, his career has been one o1 construction He is essentially {

Some of the baseball experts, who like to figure out the little details in baseball. think that Dave Robertson, of the New York Giants, is the fast est man in the national game. Some of them say that Robertson is faster than Ty Cobb, on the bases, and that he could easily lower Hans Lobert's record of 13 4-5 seconds for circling the bases.
 Bert Shotten, of the St. Louis Browns, is another fast man. When Shotten goes to bat the infielders usually draw in about 10 feet. Shot, ten is so fast that an infielder play ing the ordinary position cannot field a bounder and throw to first base fast enough to intercept Shotten.

ABOUT THE BREWERS.

Sporting News this week has the following interesting news notes about the Milwaukee club:
 Han Hoan, the Socialist mayor of Milwaukee, has the right idea. After the Brewers hit the bottom in the American associa ion race the fans of Milwaukee decided to call off a celebration fo. the team, but the mayor declared that the time to cheer for ball club is when it Is down, that it can get along without che ering when I. is up. and therefore he ordered that the celebration pro ceed as planned on arrival home Of the team. If that is Socialist doc Urine it's too bad we're not all Social ists.

 Fought for Clean Politics.
 In politics his labors have been equally constructive. He has always stood and fought for clean politics and for progress along real progress sive lines. When J. Edward Addicks, familiarly known as Gas" Addicks, undertook to tuck the state of Della ware in his vest pocket and make himself United States Senator. it took Thomas Coleman DuPont. first as member and then as chairman of the Republican State Committee, to purge the state of Addicksism and effect the political regeneration of Delaware. Later, as member Of the Republican National Committee, General DuPont stood with the Roosevelt forces in the memorable fight of 1912 at Chicago. He was one of the fifteen members of the Committee who voted for the seating of Roosevelt delegates. He did not follow Colonel Roosevelt into the Progressive party-his loyalty to and faith in the Republican party was too strong for that.
 Personally, General DuPont is six feet three in height and weighs above the two hundred mark. He is what the late Alfred Henry Lewis would have called "a great big, two. listed, he-man." Blue-eyed and square-jawed, he is born fighter By anssccdents he is an aristocrat

If they have been quoted cor rectly, they led people to believe that the owners had agreed to bolster tEeir clubs with young players this season in preference to taking on men from the majors. We hardly believe that either one of them made any such statement. because every cluo in the association has been loading up all spring with athletes from under the main tent.

 The balloon ascension occurred in this inning, Prior thereto and there after, the locals played fairly well. But those who happened to witness the seventh period had little difficulty in reaching the conclusion that the local team, like the "one-hoss shay" just fell to pieces, all at once.
