ton for alleged libel against Fl. H.

Gen. Ignacio Andrade, the former
President of Venezuela, cabled few
days ago to President Castro, asking
the latter for authorization with q
guarantee of safety, to return to Ven
ezuela with his family, assuring the
President that he would be loyal to the
letter and endeavor to assist him in
preserving peace. President Castro re-
piled that Gen. Andrade would be well
coined. The request of Gen, Andrade,
it is pointed out. is another indication
of the collapse of the Matos revolution.

methods for pennant winning. The
fans are the real, simon pure enthu-

they alone keep alive the traditions of

of last year. The American league, un-
der the effective guidance of President
Ban johnson, has made still further in
and at the present time his hustling or
ganization may truthfully be said to
possess more individual stars than the
National. But this state of affairs con-
stitutes phase of what some folks are
pleased to term the fortunes of war;"
and all fair minded observers must adj
NIT that if one warning body proves
stronger and astute enough to secure
an advantage over another the victor
has rightful claim to the spoils.
Probably the most serious inroad Of
the Americans ON the Nationals this
year SO far as the players are concerned
has been the securing Of "Wee Willie"
Keller for the New York team. Keller
was the most popular player in the Ma
tional and was the mainstay Of Ned
Hanlon's Brooklyn Superbas. The Ma
tionals were also disappointed in not
being able to control the services Of
Ed Delehanty for this season. "DeP
was reported to have accepted several
hundred dollars advance money from
one Of the National teams after signing
a contract to play with the Washington
team of the American league. George
Davis was also said to have done the
same thing, originally signing to play
with the Chicago Americans. Both
men wanted to play in the National
league, but President Johnson of the
American and President Pulliam of the
National "came together and notified
the two players that unless they held
to their American league contracts they
would be barred out of major league
baseball entirely. This joint action of
the heads of the two big leagues was
in accordance with the agreement
framed and ratified at the now famous
Cincinnati peace conference"
Clarence Beaumont, the star center
fielder Of Barney Dreyfuss' champion
Pittsburg club, is the first ball player
selected for President Pulliam's "hall
of fame" The National league execu-
tive has started a gallery of leading
players in the leagues New York head
quarters, and Beaumonts picture was
the first to be ordered. Beaumont led
the National league in batting last sea-
son, is brilliant fielder, a daring base
runner and an all around star. BY
many "fans" he has been compared to

At about 10 O'Clock the elevator,
