GRAMMAR ATHLETES
BATTLE OH ISLAND
[Continued from First Pago.]
after the annual grammar school con
test.
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.

FRIDAY EVENING/ - HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JUNE 5,1914.
The schools that have heretofore had
winners in a few events this year, of
fered a larger bunch of contestants
and promised interesting work. On
to-day's card ten events were sched
uled as follows:
One hundred yard dash, two hun
dred and twenty yard dash, four hun
dred and forty yard dash, half mile
run, half mile relay, one mile relay,
broad jump, high jump, one hundred
and twenty yard hurdles, shot put. A
new event this year was the one-half
mile relay. This was added for the
little fellows who wanted a chance to
win something.
In each event there were five point
winners. This helped the schools that
had trouble in developing large teams.
Winners of each event received five
points; second, four; third., three;
fourth, two; fifth, one. Three medals
were awarded in each event, gold for
the winner, silver for second, and
bronze for the third. New records were

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.

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

roller' at Chicago in 1912.
"If 'Penroseism' be an issue, there

to thank for it, and yet the Nine at

and set in motion a 'steam roller' that

"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

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

that it is not the platform of Pennsyl- j
