WAY AWARD CONTRACT SOON
FOR APPRAISING V.R.&P.CO.
Fourteen Applicants for Work Already Have Been Lin.
terviewcd, Choice Narrowing Down to Three.
Final Discussion Probably Friday

Alderman Ordway Pullcr. chairman
al the Council Committee on Streets
stated yesterday that he hoped to
nave meeting of that committee
inns week TO take up the question of
awarding contract for nppraise-
incnt OF the properties OF tho Virginia
Hallway and Power Company In Rich

en- IN this direction. Fourteen an
piicants for the work have been in
;"rNicwcd. and the problem has mar
Towed down I" three applicants.
whose qualifications appear 10 he
equal 10 the requirements of the COM
mittec. \ final discussion will be
held probably Friday night of this
week. AT that time. Directors Traf-
ford ami Savilie and the City Attor-
ney Will be present to hear the last
word from tho three experts.
Upon award of the contract, the
committee will begin at once the
work of framing a tentative fran
chisc. which will be perfected MS the
work of investigation into the af-
iatrs OF the company proceeds. and
IL Is thought by Chairman Fuller and
other members OF the committee that
the document may he completed and
ready for submission to the company
within four months.
Little Likelihood or Enyors.
Owing 10 the fact that a majority
OF the committee has shown itself
"ntagonistic TO the company because
of IT'S attitude toward the strikers,
there Is little chance of any "favors"
being distributed in that direction In
the shape of unusual privileges or

A Base Ball Memorial.

Appropriation OF 100000 Is an
nounced by the American League Of
Base Ball Clubs for the erection Of
monument in Potomac Park, in this
city, to the great American game. This
memorial. the design for which will
be sought from the most eminent
sculptors of this country, and will be
subject to the approval Of the Fine
Arts Commission, will be an express
sion of the national sentiment for a
sport that has entered greatly into the
life Of the American people during the
past six or seven decades. On the me-
mortal will be inscribed the names.
from season to season, OF the most
valuable players in the game, these
names to be selected by the votes Of
those qualified to pass judgment.
Base ball has been a typical Ameri-
can sport since before the civil war.
From the old game Of FOUNDERS" the
game as it is now played developed.
1t is an evolution. but the sport has
been stabilized and standardized now
the eighties would. barring the effects
of age, be qualified to play in a game
today. But he would find it much
faster sport, involving more skill. with
more severe requirements upon the
individual player. The game has be-
come much more scientific-is perhaps
today the most technically developed
sport Of any nation.
Although professional base ban.
played by high.paid performers under
strict rules and regulations and base
ball law" and an elaborate organiza-
ton. is the subject of main interest,
yet the game is played by many hun
dreds Of thousands solely as amateurs
for the sport of participation. There
are tens of thousands Of organized
amateur teams. some grouped in
leagues There are scores Of organ
lied leagues Of professional clubs. The
investment In professional base ball
involves q capital Of probably more
than a billion dollars, and the annual
overturn in this business Is so great
as to constitute base ball one Of the
major American Industries.
1t is appropriate. therefore, that
there should be here at the capital a
permanent memorial to the game, and,
through the annual additions to the
roll Of honor. to the men who have
made it so successfully a feature of
American life. Assurance that this
memorial will be Of an artistic design.
in keeping with the other permanent
attractions Of the National Capital. IL
gratifying. No tawdry symbol will
serve. A dignified monument will be
an inspiration.

Missouri.

There are six candidates for the
republican. senatorial nomination in
Missouri. All are men of good posi-
ton. and entitled to consideration.
Republican hope seems to be strong.
1t is based probably on the character
Of the contest in progress for the
democratic nomination.
Nothing approaching that in
warmth, and even bitterness, is re-
called in the history OF the state. Mr..
Reed asks an Endorsement on his rec
ord. while his opponent. Mr.. Long in
sists, as former President Wilson does,
that Mr.. Reeds record in the Senate
merits a rebuke on the part of the
latters constituents.
The two candidates are canvassing
the state thoroughly. Feeling is rum
ming high. Men who for years have
been in cordial agreement as to demo
cratic leaders and measures, and
brothers at the polls. are now angriIy
divided as to these two democrats and
what constitutes democracy today.
There is expectation-the repub-
licans entertain it confidently-that
primary so charged with ginger is
bound to cause smarts and wounds
that the short time between nomina--
ton day and election day will be
unable to heal; that the losers will
either be languid or antagonistic in
the campaign for election, causing
democratic loss at the polls.
The nomination will be made August
l. which will leave three months for
the democratic nominee and the repub-
lican nominee to present their claims
for election.
Mr.. Wilson. it is easy to believe.
awaits Tuesdays result with much
solicitude. A Long victory will
hearten him for increased activity,
with both November and 1924 in view.
while Reed victory will go straight
to the hearts and hope Of anti-Wilson
democrats everywhere.

New York.

The. democrats Of New York have
not selected their keynoter. He will
not be named until near convention
time. He must fit the situation that
will then confront the party. At
present the party is badly afflicted
with factionism.
Whoever he may be, however, he
will lack the prestige Of Elihu Root.
There is no democrat in the state who
holds q candle to the leader of the
American bar and the man whose
recognized place is in the front rank
Of living statesmen.
The present leaders Of the New York
democracy are new men-some Of
them with scarcely statewide reputa-
tions. The men Mr.. Root used to meet
in battle array are dead, or in retire
ment. Only one remains for service
Bourke Cochran.
They were great performers. rang
ing from writers and thinkers like Mr..
Tilden, from managers like Hill and
Whitney and Manning and Lamont, to
ioi@eoic eaho VI thS elAo
OF Cochran and Grady and Fellowes.
The combination of talent was re-
markable.
1t is idle to speculate about where
those men, if living, would stand. Still
| there is such speculation. In some
quarters it is proving difficult to as
sociate them with a party now led by
Mayor Hylan and Fingy Conners.
One answer is that if they had lived
! the party would not have come under
the sway of such leadership; that Mr..
Hylan would probably not have reach
ed the metropolitan city hall. nor Mr..
Conners achieved his present pull in
upstate affairs.
But it is a condition, not theory,
the New York democrats face. Mr..
Hylan and Mr.. Conners are on deck,
and by their own party as by the
other must be reckoned with in every
day fashion.
