TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election Of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the Campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscup-
tons Of One Dollar each from Repub-
hcans. To each subscriber we viii
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help US achieve a great victory.

Washington Letter.

N1A h1ANAh
Theirs is nothing to be said as
to the Cuban situation, except
that the agents of the President
have arrived in Havana and have
reported to Washington that they
are there. Supporters of the ad.
ministration and their opposite
cOnstrue the situation as bests
suits them. The only thing that
appears certain, both from the
press reports and the meager ad-
vices received at the State De
partment, is that fighting
throughout Cuba has ceased and
both sides of the controversy are
anxious to make the best i'm.
preston possible on the Ameri-
can representatives. President
Palma is willing to do anything
that he can to prevent a thorough
Investigation of his administra.
ton, and the insurgents, while
they may be suspected of pro
annexation sentiments, do not
wish to do anything that would
put them in a bad light with the
American commissioner. The
chances are that a decision Of
some sort will be reached by Sec.
retaries Taft and Bacon before
Secretary Root can arrive at Ha.
yana, and il is not believed that
this will necessitate the active in
reference of the United States
in the premises.
The United States, it may be
said, is prepared to intervene if.
absolutely necessary. Secretary
Taft was asked before he started
if the United States was prepar.
ed to rush troops into Cuba. He
replied with a smile that the
United States was always pre-.
pared 10 rush troops anywhere.
This did not answer the question
OF whether or not armed inter.
yention was meditated, but il did
about outline the position of this
country in regard 10 the Cuban
disturbance. The administration
does not want 10 intervene and
will not If il can be helped, but

Calvary Given a Scare by Fifth.


That base ball is a mighty uncertain
proposition and that game Is never won
until the last man is hied benchward. was
demonstrated again yesterday afternoon,
when Calvary with a lead that seemed big
enough to win couple of games at the
pace their opponents were going, woke up
to the fact-that they were in real base
ball game just in time to stall off defeat
by the Fifth. the final figures being 10 to I.
All of the games In the league this season
have been won by big margin OF runs.
Some have been close at times, but yester-
day was the first contest in which the unuer
dog showed fight to the last, and almost
pulled out a victory In the final round.
With the score o to against 1t, Fifth
started after Koehler in the fifth and sixth
and pulled I'D within three runs. finally los
ing out In the first four innings the losers
| had been able to secure only two hits but
in the fifth Hester led off with a corking
double. H. Elicit famed, but Wood singled,
scoring Hester. Wood stole second and

was easy. Koehler to Clear. Wood again
connected safely. and Hester scored. Bic

Knight laced screamer over second. Wood
scored. The Calvary fans waxed anxious
and the Fifth rooters got busy. Akers tried
hard to bring in Elicit on third and Mac"
ON second. but Kinney knocked down his
hot blast and ferried him out at first.
Hester worked hard for his game. He
connected for a double and single, worked
his opponent in the box for a pass and stole
two bases out of three times up.
Lords base running was the best seen on
the hill this season. He plfered second
three times and third once.
Umpire Belts got his bumps as well as
the slabmen. Several hot ones reached his
anatomy. Hayden. in reaching for a high
one made door mat of the jumps toes

Duplex Had Easy Time With Press
men

The Duplex team completely outclassed
the Pressmen yesterday and won as they
pleased in hollow fashion by the over
whelming score of 80 to 8. The losers,
however, were badly handicapped by the
absence of four of their players, which
completely demoralized the team.
1t Is doubtful whether the Duplexes could
have been beaten yesterday by any OF the
league teams at the rate they were going,
their fielding being excellent and their hit
ting sensational, a total of twenty-seven
bingles being accumulated.
Speer twirled q fine game for the win
ners, having excellent control. He did
not give a base on balls, but struck out
seven men and allowed only eight safeties.
Williams started In to serve them up for
the Pressmen, but by the time the third
inning had rolled around had enough and
gave way to Webb. The latter. however,
was batted even harder than Williams, but
remained In the box the rest OF the game.
The Pressmen started the game well,
getting two runners across the plate in

not tally until the fifth, when they got one

Sterzer's pox work and the heavy batting
of his team mates won the contest yester-
day afternoon for the Technical High
School against the Western High School

The boys from across the creek had
good chance to win the contest. as they
had lead of three runs in the second In

good batting Of Technical. they lest 1t.
Technical had Sterzer, their sturdy south
paw, on the rubber, and he had the West
ern boys at his mercy after the third in

lowed but four hits. For Western Capt.
Michael did the box stunt, and with better
support would have probably won the
game, as a great many of the hits recorded
against him came after one or two mis-
plays recorded against his team mates. The
Technical boys ran the bases almost at
will.
Chaplin at short and Benson at third
played a good game foi Technical. For
the Western team, Kemp at third and
Morse on the initial sack played the best
game. Carney at second also did well.
The boys from the West End got the first
run. In the second inning, after one was
out, Sterzer passed three batters, which,
with Champions two-bagger to center, gave
them three runs. This ended their
scoring until the last inning. when. after
one was down, Worthington singled, went
