The value Of the suggestion in The
Times that the baseball diamonds on the

hishly appreciated and there nave been
received a number Of letters commend

Some OF The writer's take the view that
all OF the time should not be appor-
TONED among leagues. as there are
many independent teams that are able
TO get together only once in awhile, and
there is great Zeal OF force in this
argument. Perhaps it would be best TO
limit the leagues 10 two diamonds on

CABINET
MEMBERS
REELECTED

Rome, Nov. 7.-Definite returns show
been reelected. Former Premier Ruidini,
Baron Sorronni, leader OF the constitu-
tional opposition. and Signor Prinetti. the
former foreign minister. and Ferri," the
Socialist leader, have also been reelected.
Summing up the result II is established
that the government has been victorious
over the extremists. who lost 20 seats.
Turin, Naples, Palermo and almost all
the large towns joined Milan and Genoa
in defeating the extremists as mani
festation against the general strike. This
really was the predominant note In the
elections.
The most remarkable contest was In
the district of Castelfranco. comprising
the birthplace OF the pope. Count Dt
Maoola. who killed Signor Cavalotti, the
famous Radical leader in duel. had al
WAYS been reelected for Castelfranco on
the first ballot, but yesterday. although
supported by the Clericals. the count, who
is a personal friend OF the pope. did not
receive sufficient votes in his contest
against the Democrat and Ministerialist
candidate, Signor Pellegrini, staunch ad-
vocate OF divorce, and Macola must try to
win on a second ballot
Signor Nasi. former minister OF public
instruction and fugitive from justice.
accused OF peculaton was reelected
unanimously by his townspeople at Tran
pani as a protest against the charges
brought against him. the people OF Tran
pani not believing him guilty.
Signor Palizzolo, who is considered 70
be at the head OF the Malta society, was
a candidate at Palermo. but he received
only 2ss votes TO 1888 cast for his opponent
who was elected.
