Gov. Smith Predicts Republican
Defeat

Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith will not be a candi-
date for office in 1882. This is the prediction OF MS
closest friends. He had his fling. He fought and lost.
He 'poiled $1,000 600 votes or twice the number OF bal
lots ever given to a democratic standard-beare Tor
the office Of president. He predicts the democratic
party will soon be in national control and will make
thIs a happv as well as a prosperous country His
statement was contained in a message to the joel
Parker association OF New Jersey. This was his mes
sage:
'The democratic party is still the party OF the
people. Not against class, nor against creed, put al
ways looking for the common good and opposing
oppressive laws and national s%umptuary acts. we
stand with Thomas jefferson, our founder and author
of the Declaration of Independence: Andrew jackson,
who opposed concentrating too much power with the
federal government: Joel Parker, a war time governor
OF New Jersey who battled for united country; Grover
Cleveland, whose action in the great Chicago strike
emphasized that law and order must prevail and again
your own Woodrow Wilson, whose efforts for home
|. rule and world democracy are bearing fruit.
It goes without saying that the party founded oy
Thomas jefferson can never die. 1t is the party Of the
people: it is the party that stands for equal rights and
equal laws; it is the party that stands for the Dill
OF right and ever against special privilege legislation
and special privilege legislative Vaccinations. II

It will never cease to function until the republic
passes out. Its standard is the standard Of the plain
people Of America, those who love liberty and law and
Justice and revere In their hearts the distinguished
dead who led to victory in other days the party OF
the people that Thomas jefferson had founded.
There should be a united democratic party in
Texas. There is work for it to do. Grover Cleveland

Wilson led democrats to the house of their fathers.

come to the surface as a Moses in due time and when
he does come the democrats Of Texas thoroughly
ctssened by the defeat and harmonized as Jefferson
harmonized them should be prepared to flock to the
ancient standard OF the party Of the people.

Illinois Democrats Go Wet

Illinois democrats in state convention assembled
demanded the repeal OF the Volstead act, the Jones
five and ten law, and the Illinois search and seizure
act. They demanded the enactment Of legislation
gegalizing light wines and beer.
. These are planks Of the platform.
They denounced the republican party for the tariff
and unemployment. They denounced the campaign
expenditures Of Ruth Hannah Mccormick. the re-
publican senatorial nominee, and they applauded
every utterance Of Col. J. Hamilton Lewis. their own
nominee
Indeed, a survey Of the Illinois situation indicates
that the democratic platform makers Of that COM
monwealth are as wet as the Morrow republicans who
SWEPT all before them in the New Jersey republican
primary. There are wet states and there are dry
states. There arc wet democrats and wet republicans.

 The milk was served in handy paper containers and kept scrupu- lously clean.

The worlds series gave a con- vincing demonstration of the fash ion in which good pitching can check the talk about the lively ball"
 The sphere may be lively enough, but Grove and Earnshaw for the As, Hallahan, Haines and Grimes for the Cardinals, turned the se- ries into a succession of old-fash- toned pitchers duels." The long firing was effective in spots, but not in the least consistent. The supposedly heavy hitting As, in the three straight games at St. Louis, scored in only two out of 27 innings, averaging less than six hits per game.
 That ought to show 'em we haven't inoculated the ball." re- marked Tom Shibe, president of the Athletics and also head of the com pany that manufactures all the major league basebais. e.a 4ai
 Talk of the National league ball being any livelier than the Ameri- can brand is just an example of ignorance. The only difference be- tween the two is in the color of the stitches and the stamping.
 There has been no substantial change in the type of manufacture since the cork center was introduced in 1910.'

 The Shibes manufactured cricket balls before they found demand for the production of baseballs. Cricket was one of the most popu- lar sports around Philadelphia 25 to 50 years ago. Newspapers carried more box scores of cricket matches than they did of baseball games, but the English sport has since lost most of it's following there. Never theless what are now the leading golf and tennis centers still are known as the Merton, Philadelphia and Germantown Cricket clubs.
 Bobby Jones won his first and fifth national amateur golf cham pionships at the Merior. Cricket club. Bill Tilden member of the Germantown Cricket club, played some of his greatest tennis on the turf courts there in the Davis Cup challenge rounds from 1923 to 1927.
 This columns recent tabulation of the 1880 golf record of the Great. Jones inadvertently omitted one of the chief features of his march through the British amateur field.
 It was the fourth round victory of the American over the defend- ing British champion, Cyril Tolley. who lost on the 18th hole when Jones laid him a stymie.
 This exciting battle was sand wiched between the defeats Jones handed to Shankland, in the third round and Watt in. the fifth.
 Albert de Luze, president of the French Court Tennis federation, has traced the history of tennis back to Perhsia of the fourth century when the game was called "Tchi- |gan."
