Chambers Takes
Net Match from
Benz. Phillips

The annual open tennis tournament
Of the Woodmere Club got off to be-
lated start on the clubs clay courts at
Woodmere, Long Island, yesterday. The
event was to have started on Monday,
but was put over to yesterday on ac-
count of the rain. Nine matches were
played, the lackadaisical entries were
eliminated by the defaulting process,
and when play for the day was halted
several of the contestants had reached
the third round.
Maurice Mclaughlin will not compete
for the cup, which was won last year by
Arthur VI. Lovibond. Neither will Billy
Johnston, the national champion. Sew
eral of the regular tournament players
of the metropolitan district, however,
are down on the draw, and because OF
This the event promises to be as inter
esting as last seasons.

Who Hit Peter

Has an AHbi
Former Heavyweight Declares
at Hospital That 1t Was
a Friend.

There is a companion mystery TO the
eternal "Who struck Billy Patter-
son ," II is. "Who struck Peter Ma
her.?
That eminent author Richard X.
Fox records that Peter Maher was
once struck by Robert Fitzsimmons
and once again by Kid Mccoy. But
both Of these can produce alibis as
TO the recent striking, which occurred
some time yesterday morning. Robert
is away uplifting the stage and Kid
Mccoy is now Private Mccoy, of the
list Regiment, detailed as colonel S
orderly somewhere in Texas.
Consequently the mystery as to who
struck Peter Maher deepens. Mr.. Ma
her. when he appeared at the Recep-
tion Hospital yesterday morning with
more marks about his head and face
than he had ever received from Nc
Gov or Fitzsimmons, was not in a
communicative mood.
"Who hit you, Peter?" demanded
the inferno. "How did it happen?'
at was a friend Of mine" said
Peter, sadly.
geon as he started the hemstitches
on Peters scalp. Don't you know his
name?"
"Well, I'm not sure" replied Peter
"If Bob Fitzsimmons or Kid Mccoy
were here I'd know it was one OF them,
but as it is I'll have to wait till hear
from Joe Humphries. | know that 1t
wasn't Frank Moran or jim Corey.
They wouldn't do it. The punch felt
a little bit like Mccoy, and then again
it had something that reminded me OF
Fitzsimmons. Say, this new boy, Jack
Dillon, isn't in town, is he?"

rection of attracting, rather than of
repelling the young people. OF course
this attraction must be accomplished
without too great concession to the
liberal sentiment. 1t is believed it
would be unfortunate for the church
to relax it's attitude too much along
these lines, but it is claimed that it is
poor policy to maintain a nominal,
but drastic and indiscriminate pro-
hibition Of all these diversions. Re-
ligious bodies are conservative and
are dominated. largely by the bishops,
the elder men among the clergy, and
many moderns insist that, the church's
great aim should be to bring and hold
within the scope of its influence as
many of the young people as it can,
without any compromise. with actual
wrong.

Swanson the Danville Register says
| Despite the failure of such effort:
for months past, certain meddlesomt
anonymous agitators at. Washington
with the aid and conivance Of FESTIVE
Espirits in the Old Dominion, are
/ striving anew to induce some dis.
gruntled Democrat to announce his
candidacy for the United States Senar
torial nomination in opposition to the
incumbent, Claude A. Swanson.
These agitators first sought to in,
duce Mr.. Glass, of Lynchburg, to
make the race, but he declined and
has entered as candidate for. re-
election to the House, thereby eli
minating himself as possible sena-
torial aspirant. Then the plotters
sought to induce ex-Congressman H.
St. ( George Tucker to announce his
candidacy. When Mr.. Tucker did not
manifest any relish for the task, Gov
ernor Stuart was appealed to, but he
was stopped by his own voluntary
pledge not to aspire to any other po-
sition during his gubernatorial term.
Here the matter rested until few
days ago when Mr.. John Garland Pol
lard, avowed candidate for governor
next year, was appealed to in an eff
fort to induce him to aspire to the
Senate; but Mr. Pollard with his well
known political sagacity, would not be
tempted and waved the empty honor
away. Now in utter desperation the

small element, hostile to Mr.. Swanson
has again turned to Mr.. Tucker It is
a vain reliance. Mr.. Tucker has no
Intention of making the fight, we feel

candidate in the primary.
This same persistently hostile
Washington coterie has been endeav
oring to encourage coalition Of So
called Independent Democrats and
Republicans in ell effort to beat Mr..
Swanson in the regular election in
November. No honest OF honorable
Democrat who has participated in
party affairs can lend encouragement
to such a perfdious and insidious
attack on his party, for with Mr..
Swanson as its candidate, opposition

DEMOCRATIC
HARMONY.

Every good democrat will read
with pleasure the proceedings Of the
convention of the party at Roanoke
yesterday. Certain disgruntled mem
oers Of the party who recently found
5hat all attempts to trouble the wat
crs were destined to prove futile fell
into the ranks like good democrats,
and swelled the organization to its
normal proportions. The fact that
the delegates were of one accord
and manifested purpose to drop all
petty issues and personal prefer
ences for the party's good is suffi-
cient answer to the absurd dreams
that an independent candidate for the
United States Senate would stand
the ghost Of show in Virginia.
The session of the convention was
marked by harmony throughout.
Representative Carter Glass, was
elected a member of the Democratic
national committee and Rorer A.
James, of Danville, chairman Of the
central state committee.
The delegates at large are Sena-
tors Thomas S. Martin and Claude
4. Swanson, Gov. II. C. Stuart ano
Representative H. D. Flood.
All were named without opposi.
ton. Twenty-four delegates of the
national convention and twelve ma
tional electors were named, the dele
gates being instructed for Woodrow
Wilson.
Endorsement of the Wilson admin.
istration and support of the admin
istration's preparedness program
are features of the platform, which
was unanimously adopted. A plea fol
party harmony and a eulogy Of
President Wilson featured keynote
address made by Judge R. It. w.
Duke, of Charlottesville. temporary
chairman. Among other things
Judge Duke attacked the Republ!
cans and called Wilson the greatest
President since Lincoln.

CHURCH MAINTAINS
IT'S ATTITUDE

The action of the General confer
encc of the Methodist Episcopal
church in declining to recind the pro-
hibition in the discipline of dane
ing, card-playing, theatrc-going and
other worldly amusements" is not
surprising even in the face of com,
mittee recommendation that the hos
tile attitude of the church toward
these diversions be abated somewhat.
At the same time, the vote on the
question Of resembling showed strong
sentiment in favor of this course,
the minority advocating an admoni,
ion, instead of the drastic penalties
prescribed for such infractions of the
church discipline.
A contemporary suggests that it j!
yet too early for this relaxation Of
the rigidity of the church's attitude
towards these amusements, but tht
trend of sentiment is in that direc

CLEAD FIELD
FOR SWANSON

The announcement yesterday that
Senator Swanson will have no COM
petitor for the United. States Senate
was read with satisfaction by the
many friends of the Junior Senator
throughout the State, as well as by
all conservative members of the dem
ocratic party who were apprehensive
of heated intraparty fight which
all have good cause to dread. 1t is
unnecessary to recapitulate what is
generally conceded to the effect that
MIR. Swanson has met every expecta-
zion Of the large majority which eX-
pressed their preference for him when
he was opposed by Representative
Carter Glass, and even many who at
the time preferred the Lynchburg
Congressman for personal reasons
are now disposed to let well enough
alone.
We never have been the wisdom of
making spasmodic changes when
worthy and competent officials have
, been found. Grave mistakes have
followed when popular tumults have
RELOCATED tried men to private ranks
and othrrs of meagre experience have
been made their successors.
The city of Alexandria has for
many years realized the Importance
of the holding on to good men when

that some of our city officials have

third of century is not to be regret.
