Dry Dock Eleven
Qualities to PLAY
For State Honors
Robins Defeat New York
Team by One-Coal Margin
in Bitterly Fought Game

Meeting the most stubborn sort 0,
resistance the soccer football players
representing Robins Dry Dock, Of
Brooklyn, national champions, who
will battle for the A. F. A. cup next
Sunday, yesterday fought their way
into the final round of the Southern
New York State Football Association
annual cup competition. They de-
feated the powerful eleven Of the New
York Football Club by goal to in
the presence of 5000 persons at New
York Oval.
Plenty of good football was seer.
with honors fairly we'll divided, but the
New. Workers failed to take advantage
CT the few opportunities that offered.
The losers held their own, and more
at times, until midway in the second
half, when Hardy, center forward for
New York, was hurt in collision, and,
l.mping, played on the right wing foF
the rest of the game.
1t was directly after Hardy had
been hurt that Robins Dry Dock put
through the only goal of the game. A
rush down the field suddenly brought
the ball to New York's goal, where
Sweeney, the Robins outside lets,
made himself the hero of the game By
getting possession, beating two Of his
opponents and landing the pigskin
safely in the net.

Leonardo III Drops
Out as DERBY Choice

LEXINGTON, KY, May 1.-The de-
feat of Leonardo II in the Blue Grass
Stakes yesterday has created lot of
talk in local turf circles and has caused
his stock as possible winner of the
Derby next Saturday to drop consider
ably. Some rate Leonardo only as q
rank outsider, while others are inclined
to the belief that he can do better and
that the real Leonardo was the one that
set new American record for the mile
and sixteenth only few days ago.
II yesterdays race is to be a cri-
terion of Leonardo's real class, it indi-
Gates beyond doubt that he cannot
cover distance of ground. He kept
abreast Of Black Servant in the early
stages Of the race, but he weakened un-
der the strain and curled up when the
lash was applied. The Xalapa Farm
colt showed lack Of heart. and for that
reason alone is considered a moor
Derby prospect.

SILLY AND

Some things are sillier thar
others, and to a good many hon

custom Of sending a valentine.
But to other people-the ones
who are wearing their first pair
of long trousers, for instance.
of their first pair of ear-puffs-
nothing is more exalted, more
noble or more fitting.
Children used to think it
smart to send horrid, ugly pic
lures, which their elders who
should have known better call
ed Comic valentines, to their
friends. These pictures dweIt on
all the mean traits of humani-
ty, and never mentioned any
good ones. 1t is an encouraging
sign that there aren't so many of
these atrocious things for sale
any more. Children nowadays
are better brought up than the
last generation was.
But there is that other kind.
OF valentine-with frilled lace
paper, hearts and arrows, ten
DERBY tinted ribbons and sweet
ish verses-they don't seem to-
pass out of style in the least.
If you love me as | love you
No knife can cut our love in

The American people want ac-
ton on the urgent matter OF
regulation of immigration. 1t
should not be permitted to go
over to a new Congress, which
would have to start new hear
ings, and begin the consideration
OF the subject all over again.
Opinions differ as to whether
or not there should be a prohi-
bition of immigration for the
present. But all elements agree
that more care should be taken
to exclude all suffering from
dangerous diseases, and to keep
out undesirables Of other types.
The immigration service needs
many more inspectors, it needs
to expand its operations so as
to see that the aliens do not all
herd in large cities, it needs to
establish stations in Europe
where undesirables shall be ex-
GUIDED before they start for this
Action should be taken
before Congress finishes the
present session.

Some people are helping bring
back good business, and some
are obstructing it. Producers
and distributors who continue
to ask high prices for their
goods are in the latter class.
But every manufacturer and
dealer who cuts his prices down
TO the bone, who would rather
keep moving even if he no more
than gets a new dollar for an
old one, he is doing a lot toward
bringing better times.
And similarly the working
people who insists on unchang-
ed wages for themselves while
all kinds of prices have been TAX
ing the toboggan, are also OBJ

structing the return of good
business.
Inc constant circulation of ru-
mors about the solvency of this
or that concern, tends to con-

Of business men were in

REPUBLECAN LEAnERsHp

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP.
1t is a comparatively easy
thing to criticise. A man of very
small ability can stand on one
side and pick a lot of flaws in the
work of people who are trying to
do things.
The Republican leaders had a
comparatively easy time for the
past eight years. All they had
to do was to find fault with what
the elected officials Of the
country were doing. AS these
officials we're faced with the
most serious problems that the
country has confronted since its
foundation in 1888, the finding
Of mistakes was not a difficult
thing to do. Anyone who had
been in power, and who had had
to confront new situations of in
credible difficulty, would have
made false moves.
But now the Republican party
finds itself up against a new sit
