By JAMES B. MORROW, In the Philadelphia Record.

ZONE of the Weekses, save John M Wingate, the senator and the Massachusetts candidate for president-toiling as they all did among the granite humps of New Hampshire-was ever noted for his ac- emulation of cash or property.
 They were farmers mostly, begin ming with Leonard Weeks. who. emi- grating from England in 1856. became the head and source of the family. Agriculture sternly practiced among the embedded rocks and irremovable powders taught them to be resource full and to keep at least one eye open to opportunity.
 So William D., the father of the sen ator, was a probate judge, and once essayed to be a manufacturer. With the cooperation of neighbors, likewise alert and adventurous, he started Q factory at Lancaster for making starch from potatoes.
 q will never forget the look on my fathers face" Captain Weeks told me, when, on a Sunday morning, just as we were leaving church, we saw men and boys running down the street and heard them crying: The starch fac tory is burning.

 Williams is a new hurler from the Coast, whose name has appeared in B class lineups and there are other men who have played in fast com panv in the past.
 The c. & A. club is reinforced a bit. and will be seen at its strongest this season. There has been some shifting of the players also, which is declared to be an improvement Their lineup is: Legge and Ebelwaite. C; Atkinsin and Landrum, D; ]. Jeuck, ID: Norris and Gill, 2b; Lee, ss: Robinson. SD: Jordan. Gait and champion in the field.
 The grounds have been rolled and sprinkled. and preparations for car service have been made for the larg- est crowd since the two big rival companies met in track athletics month aso. when the Copper Queens carried the day.
 Today's game is to be the real opener of a real season this summer. with double headers almost every Sunday afternoon.

There was no insurance-the pol icy had lapsed-and the fire swepi away all of my fathers means and put burdensome mortgage on his farm. two and a half miles in the country"
 If there had been a navy of a re- spectacle size in 1881 John Wingate Weeks would now be a captain in stead of senator. Nor would he ever have become banker and thus have set at naught all the traditions of the Weeks family for self-respecting. capable and wholesome poverty.
 And yet psychological analysis of inherited traits might show that the senator comes naturally by his talents for public affairs and finance. Any inquiry into his personality must in- clude the Wingates. the chief of whom. John, an Englishman, emigrated to New Hampshire in 1860.
 The Weekses and the Wingates in- termarried during the second Ameri- can generation-the Weekses to con- tinue as farmers, with an excursion into potato starch, as has been re- corded, but the Wingates to become soldiers, preachers and statesmen. Paine Wingate. for example. the great grandson of John, was member of the Continental congress and later senator from New Hampshire.
 A Big Man Physically.
 John Wingate Weeks of Massachu- setts. in his name. therefore. goes back to the middle of the seventeenth cen tury. Perhaps his gifts are equally as ancient. Wherever they originated. he has made good use of them. He is well-to-do-but has less money, per haps, than is often represented and Republicans in Massachusetts have mo- tified the country that he is their can didate for president If he is nomi- mated at Chicago in June. the main reason will have been that he is a business man. His candidacy, then. will be something entirely new in na- tional politics.
 In his measurements. Captain Weeks is a large man. A reasonable guess at his weight would be 250 pounds. His stature. perhaps. is five feet and eleven inches His eyes are gray and his manner is frank and hearty. While at the naval academy he could slowly raise a 112-pound dumbbell above his head with his right hand. Then. kneel- ing with one leg. he could slowly raise an S7-pound dumbbell with his left hand. More than that he could lower his hands to his shoulders and slowly and simultaneously put both dumb bells above his head the second time.
 A muscular youth, he was recom- mended by his principal to the "pru- dentlal committee" that called at the academy in Lancaster on a hunt of a teacher for their district school. The school was then closed-a group of the large boys having carried the teacher into the road. slammed him down in the dirt and warned him never to return
 Lick 'em and lick em good" the prudential committee said. "WeT back you up if you do."
 The third day, Captain Weeks told me. "a big, red-faced boy took his pen in hand and laboriousl, be- gan to write a letter that is. he was seemingly engaged in writing a let ter as a matter of fact he was show ing of before the school and experi- m9nting with the new teacher When
