Schools and Colors In the seventh annual contest to day fourteen grammar schools par ticipated. Each school marched from their respective buildings with flags and pennants. All along the route, from the schools to Municipal Field, students sang and cheered. Of course the, big noise was at Island Park when the various teams came on the lield. As in the past, each school had a special section, and each school tried to outdo the others in display of Hags and decorations. The schools en tered and their colors are as follows: Cameron, orange and black; Camp Curtin. blue and white; Foose, blue I and white; Forney, blue and gold; Hamilton, black and gold; Lincoln, red and blue; Maclay, turquoise and gold; Melrose, Black and gold; Web ster, Green and white; Willard, ma roon and gold; Woodward, slate and corn; Harris, orange and black; Reiley, garnet and white. The champion team thus far has been the Forney school. Athletes from this school have four legs on the championship shield, and win or lose to-day they get the trophy permanent ly. Maclay had the shield two years rgo. The school winning the shield to-day, providing it is not the Forney team, will hold the trophy one year, ond then turn it over to the Forney BChool. No Winner Piokeil No winner has been picked for the hig event to-day. It looked like any body's race until the finish. Forney jias not shown any unusual speed this tear but offered several classy boys.

Annex cm SCIM MHJESTVS COURT London Agog Over Affair Which Kept Many Guests From Derby Day Dinner Txmdon, June s.—: L,on^°. n ,^ t with a Story of card scandal that may havo as sensational as the Gordon Cutting case at T£anby Croft, when King Edward, then Prince of Wales, appeared as a witness in L °The new affair has already hadl re- j rnarkable consequences, among J?l!,t£ I the abstention of some of the guests ] invited to attend the king s dinner at Buckingham Palace on De^ y ™ and the decision ot the king to regain in town over the Whitsuntide holiday in order to confer with various people concerned in the matter. , . King George is doing his utmost to ! keep the affair private and to prevent, anything in the nature of a P" 1 scandal, but so far only a compromise has been reached, which certain P ar " ties interested refuse to accopt as a final solution. ~ The person against whom the charges of cheating at cards were made is a member of the royal house hold. He latterly has been winning considerable sums at poker at the St. James and Marlborough t lubs. His chief accusers are two well-known m It was in order to hear their charges that the king remained in town Whit sunday and on Monday last Ma jesty hud a long interview with them in Buckingham Palace. Kins Hears Story The first reports of the affair reached the royal ears on the first day of the Epsom race meeting and it was intimated that until the matter cleared up several persons, members of the Jockey Club, would refuse to meet the man in question. As he was one of the guests invited to Derby day din ner, it was suggested to the king that his invitation be withdrawn or that an intimation be sent to the unde sirable guest that he would be well advised to make some excuse for not appearing. This King George flatly refused un less absolute proof that the charge of cheating was true was produced. The result was that every single royalty asked to the Derby dinner, including Prince Arthur of Connaught, the Duke of Teck and nearly every prominent member of the Jockey Club, remained away from the dinner. PUEffIMICK MACHINE IS BRAZEN [Continued from First Page.] Democratic doctrine —the doctrine of woman's suffrage and the initiative and referendum. " 'Penroseism' and 'steam roller' are coeval expressions of the same genesis and coined at the same date. "Had there been no 'steam roller' there would be no issue of 'Penrose ism' in the country to-day, and a great many fairly well informed persons believe that if there had been no Pen rose there would have been no 'steam roller' at Chicago in 1912. "If 'Penroseism' be an issue, there fore, the Nine have the 'steam roller' to thank for it, and yet the Nine at yesterday's convention pulled the lever and set in motion a 'steam roller' that is to the Chicago machine what a mod ern thresher is to a primitive flail. "For the first time in the history of American politics. State or national, the people's representatives—elected, too, at the sacred, the sacrosanct pri mary—were not permitted to have a voice in the formulation of a platform. At adjournment 104 of the 113 repre sentatives chosen May 19 knew only by hearsay at best what issues would be made and what 'principles' would be set forth as Democratic. "And the 'delegates' who lifted their voices in protest were strangled by the chair and cried down by their more complacent colleagues colleagues who, understanding the platform was Inspired at Washington, were willing to swallow it, bird-like, with closed eyes and wide-open mouth. "That the Republicans will be criti cised fo-r holding up their platform un til July 15 or longer is conceded; but that the Democrats have lost what ever prestige they might have gained from this course in the camp of the enemy cannot be denied. The Repub licans can say—have already said— that their committeemen and candi dates have not had a chance to confer. This is good politics; it appeals to the masses. It is the sort of conservatism that is popular. "And when tho Democrats boast that they were 'not afraid' to present a platform the opposition can answer that it is not the platform of Pennsyl- j vania Democrats, but of a Washington! official of exalted station who has given another evidence that he is an oppor-| tunist by embracing woman suffrage. a political departure even~mortT in than hlS earlier professions X h J initiative and the referendum, t hls heart about the time New Jersey Democrats became restless under the old order. "The Republicans have a tactical which they will not be slow u . se ' ?J r - Penrose may have dic tated platforms, many, of them, but =,?J. er f 'U.i' 8 lone oare er has he shown such indifference to the spirit of Amer ican institutions as was displayed when \ ance McCormick and a.
