Our nations history is sometimes
charged with lack of picturesqueness
because it does not deal with knights,
castles and royalty. But to one who
considers the moral import of events.
it is hard to see how anything can be
more picturesque than the spectacle
of two giant antagonists, Thomas JEFF
ferson and Alexander Hamilton cor
tending for political measures which
were to affect so profoundly the lives
of millions of human beings yet UNI
born.
1t has been said that all thinking
men must be either followers of Aris-
totle or of Plato. So in American
politics it may be said that all citi
zens must be followers either of JEFF
ferson or of Hamilton. All American
history has since run along the lines
marked out by the antagOnism between
these two great leaders. Jefferson
stands for fundamental values in gov

 |42.7 TO CAPTURE FIVE MILE RACE
Crowd of 1000 Sees Great Program; Wolfe,
 M'Kenzie Also Win

Lake Quassapaug was the scene of a cracking good effort Coward a new worlds outboard motor mark yesterday afternoon whne Les Buckman of Baldwin, N. Y., skinned his clamslhell racer over the five mile course in the main event to win it with an average of 42.7 miles an hour. The world rec ord is held by Clint Ferguson of Wacan, Massachusetts, and is 43.43 miles an hour in that class of com petition, which is listed as the "A" division
 Dead Heat
 Another sizzling feature of the race, which drew about 1000 fans, most of whom came in 625 automo- piles, was the fact that Carl L. Saw yer of Medford, Mass, and Billy Wolfe of South Norwalk, tied for second place, Sawyer getting the decision due to little better time. Wolfe, however, made up in the "B" class competition, winning in walk with sped average of 45.91 followed by the "A" winner, Buck man, and George Andrews of New York city.
 As expected, Ken Mackenzie of New Haven took the e" prize fol- lowed by Al Barzee and Andrews while the spectators got an added thrill at the start of that race when Gilbert Peterman spilled into the waters of the lake.

YALE, HARVARD GET DARTMOUTH
College Baseball Race Looks Like Three Team
 Affair Now

The eastern Intercollegiate base ball race narrowed to three team affair today with Harvard and Yale retining a chance to catch Dart mouth who tasted defeat for the first time last week end.
 Beating Pennsylvania last Friday gave the Indians seven straight wins. Then they ran into Yale's bespec- tacled Ted Horton who turned them back with seven hits while the Eli batsmen pounded out 10-3 decision. Yale has record of six wins in eight starts.
 Harvard's Ed Ingalls turned in the best pitching performance this sea- son when he scattered four hits to defeat Penn, Az, and tighten the Crimson,s hold on second place with four wins against one defeat.
 Princeton Catcher Rolf Paine went into the lead for the Charles H. Blair bat -or individual hitting when he cracked out four singles in eight attempts to increase his average to .453 for seven games, dis placing Dartmouth's George Hanna who fell to sixth. The next four places are the property of Ray Rata jack and George Mclaughlin of Dartmouth; Jimmy Hauze, Penn; and Hubert Schulze, Columbia, with only Schulze boasting an average less than 400.

C0NN0RS, MASS. I RACK CHIEF, .0KAYS AGAWAM
Track Opens Saturday Thousands Visited Plant
 Sunday

Springfield, May 24-Chairman Charles F. Connors of the Massa- chusetts racing commission was among the thousands who accept ed the hospitality of Agawam park yesterday afternoon, and saw the lovely little race track at it's best.
 Chairman Corners, who has done more for the sport of kings thar any man in Massachusetts, took the occasion to ratify in an enthusias- tic manner a new ruling of the track stewards which is expected to make racing at the approaching meeting the finest and cleanest in the history of the sport in New England.
 The rule is as follows: That bullwhips and pinchers will not be used at Agawam park by the as- sistant starters unless the trainer obtains the permission of the stew ards to waive this for his individual entry"
 Popular
 The rule, which will be strictly enforced, will undoubtedly be given the hearty indorsement C. not only various societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, but also to the two-dollar bettors, who take high umbrage, and rightly so, when their horses are pjlloried at the post
 Chairman Connors predicted that the 36-day meeting, which will Start next Saturday, will be the greatest the track has ever experienced.
 I've never seen such enthusiasm, ' he said, "as I've witnessed here to- day. There must be 10000 people here, and apparently each one has his own car. It's tremendous trib- ute to the popularity of this race track and to the sport of horse racing. Last year, Akawam park set record of which we Massachu- sets commissioners are proud, when 46 percent of the favorites won their races. The new ruling concerning bull-whips and pincllcrs is a salu- tary one which we will recommend to the stewards at Suffolk Downs"
 Indications are that the AgaWam handicap, six furlcng3 feature oi next Saturday, will attract one oi the finest fields that has ever faced starter here. Such well known thoroughbreds as Beefsteak, nomin- ated for the $100,OOO Santa Anita derby a year ago; Bob's Boy, con- qucror of Scabiscuit; Marson. Mas ter Lad, RichStrike, and San Marine are already on the grounds, with the good Up and Up, Bubblesome, re- cent 'Gansett winner, Royal Rank Mis- Ginbar, and Wise Anne expect cd within 36 hours.

 Just what came over them at St. Louis no one knows, not even the New York baseball writers, who are closer to them than Boswell was to Johnson. One writer told me that, seeing trouble was brewing and a fight sure to come, he wired his office in New York as early as the third inning and urged preparation of at least ten Giant obituaries.
 we all felt" the correspondent related, that when the fight started the Giants would be. trapped in their dugout and butchered by the St. Louis ruff.ans. But when Ripple bunted that ball toward first the mice became men and, as if propel- led by springs, roared into action, fists swinging. Chiozza hattened Dean with honey of a left, Papa 7 Luque clipped Guteridge with a right that had all of Havana be- hind it, Schumacher hit everything with Red Bird on the chest, and MancuSo hit the ground with Mickey Owen. It was very beauti- full"
 Markin Time
 The Giants anticipate with pleas ure the arrival in New York of the Cards. Especially those Giants who, because of the general confusion during the Battle of St. Louis," did not see front-line action. The hand jest guy with his fists on the team George (Kiddo) Davis, did not have an opportunity to land a single punch, and is said to feel cheated Davis plans to warm up for Dean by reporting to Madison Square Garden bowl on the night of June third when Max Schmeling is scheduled NOT to fight Jim Brad dock for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world.
 T did not get a chance to fight Dean," Davis said, "so this looks like golden opportunity to me tc fight for the phantom ship of the world"
 Those who know the Giants fee that the St. Louis battle gave then the hypodermic needed for a sue. cessful defense of their Nationa League title. Certainly, since that fight they have been doing things they never did before. They wor here yesterday with four runs in the ninth; they knocked off the Cards Thursday with similar stretch rally, and they dusted the Cubs with banging uprising.

AMAZING AIS ARE SEVERE SHOCK TO THE EXPERTS
Good Pitching Has Kept 100 to 1 Shots up
 There" All Season
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Stan CorrespOndent)

NOAhMbC0 HCDD 0s0Ah AOhh(OkSDAaNA-As~g
 New York, May 24-(UP)--When- ever the Philadelphia Athletics suf- fer setback the experts wag their heads and say, Well, they've finally hit the toboggan," but Connie Mack's young men keep bouncing back to the top to make the Ameri- can league race a baffling marathon
 Before the season opened, the As were 1OO-1 shots against winning the pennant chase. Eight American league managers picked the club tc finish in the cellar.
 Yet, today, five weeks after the starting gun, the As have been on top of the league standings more than any other club, including the New York Yankees, the even money favorites named by seven managers of the junior circuit to cop the gon- falon.
 The Mackmen have been resting atop the heap IA days this year compared to 10 for the Yankees and eight for the Detroit Tigers general favorites for American league runner-up honors. Cleveland has been up there on four occasions and Boston twice.
 How Cornelius Gillicuddy, the 74-year- president. treasurer and manager of the Quaker City ball plant, has masterminded his club into contender is something of a mystery since the As are next to the bottom in team batting with a mark of .262, and sixth in fielding at .963.
 How It's Done
 Pitching might be the answer of the Lean Leader, for he has a pair of young rookie hurlers in Lynn Nelson and Almon Williams who are still in the 1000 column with two wins each and no defeats. His big winner, however, is Harry Kelley 31-year-old recruit from last year who has won five and lost three George Caster, the Pacific coast rookie is near the top with four wins against two losses.
 Kelley has won two games in the last two days, in relief role Satur- day and over the full distance yes- terday when he doled out six hits to defeat St. Louis, 6-2.
 The New York Yankees kept with in striking distance, 10 percentage points behind. By walloping the Cleveland Indans, 7-3, before the largest crowd of the major league season-59, 492. Red Ruffing scattered 10 hits for his second straight win A game and half behind the Tanks, the Detroit Tigers walloped the Washington Senators, 13-3, in game ended by rain after eight inn ings. Chicago climbed from seventh to six with a GA decision over Bos. ton in 10 innings.
 In the National, the New York Giants bumped the leading Pitts burgh Pirates, 6-5 with a four run barrage in the ninth. The St. Louis Cardinals gave Dizzy Dean his sixth win of the year, 6-2, over the Phila- delphia Phillies. Charley Root pitched five hit ball while the Chi cago Cubs smashed Philadelphia 11-1, and Brooklyn was on the short end of 5-2 score with the Cincin- natl Reds.
 YESTERDAYS HERO: Harry Kelley, who, in the majors less than year, won his second game in two days to keep the Philadelphia Ath- letics at the head of the American league parade.

GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
CRAWFORD AND STEINFELDT SINGLED FOR REDS
 ONLY HITS OFF MATFlEWSON
=BY BRACE E. JARRETTs

(This is the best individual pitch- ing performance for any 2Ath day of May)
 Mathewson held Cincinnati to two hits, singles by Crawford and Steinfeldt, and won stubborn pitchers battle from Phillips, 1 to 0.
 Even in the face of Christy's great work, as he did not allow another to reach base, he won his victory by the narrowest of margins.
 But for Phillips mOmentary wiIdness at the beginning of the first inning, when four Giants got on base, the game would have gone into extra innings without a run having been scored against either hurler. Selbach and Strang singled, and after Hickman had been dis posed of, for the second out, Davis walked, filling the bags. Phillips then hit Ganzel, forcing in the only run of the game. Thereafter the Giants six hits were kept widely separated.
 This game was Mathewson's
 eighth consecutive triumph of the year.
 NOTE: Little or nothing was known of Mathewson prior to the start of the 1901 baseball season. He had taken part in but six games, for a total of thirty-two innings in 1900, and had been credited with three defeats and no victories. However, with the start of the 1901 season, Mathewson began a reign which has proven to be one of the most illustrious ever enjoyed by any pitcher.
