TROUBLE IN
HONDURAS
FOREIGN CONSULS INCUR DIS
PLEASURE OF THE PRESI-
DENT.

Washington. July 29.-Because
they interviewed in behalf OF the
non-combatants. the consular rep
resentatives of the various govern
ments at Ceiba have incurred the
displeasure of President Davila of
Honduras, and he has cancelled
their exequaturs. The activity of
the consuls occurred just preceding
the revolutionary attack upon Ceiba
about ten days ago, when the revo-
lutionists were repulsed by the gov
eminent troops.
Information of the cancelling OF
the exequaturs reached the state
department yesterday from Ameri.
|caLNConsul Drew Linard. at Ceiba.
He has been asked by the depart
ment TO send by cable a full state
ment OF the facts leading up to the
action taken by President V. Davila.
Future action OF the department
may depend upon his reply.
1t is n well settled principle of
International practice that a gov
|ernment may refuse to issue an eX-
|ecquatur to any person appointed to
n consular position and also to can
'cel an eXequatur. after it is grant
|ed. for good reasons. This priv
lege has been exercised by this
government on more than one occa-
sion.
Word reached the state depart
ment last week that considerable
lissatifaction existed at Ceiba with
he foreign consuls, but later re-
PORTS indicated that the TRADE
against them by the local newspa-
bers had ceased.

PLAYERS HAVE A KICK.
Chicago and Detroit Men Take Elk.
ception to Announced Attendances

CepC1O0 TO announced AtteudanCeS,
DETROIT. October 14.-Both Chicago
National and Detroit American League
ball players returned from Chicago this
morning with loud complains of unfair
treatment in regard to the business end
of the worlds series games. Last night
they were yelling louder than ever They
are not allowed a representative at the
turnStiles. and therefore cannot get actual
figures on the attendance.
They say that in Chicago the Monday
attendance was given out as 14543, but
that unless the attendance given out for
the league games all season has been
grossly padded. there were at least 1900
more persons there. Last nights yell was
for similar reason.
On Labor day here the official figures
on the afternoon attendance were 1902.
There were lot of people standing up,
but there is seating room in Bennett Park
for between 5000 and 10000 persons. In
addition to this regular seating ROOM cir
Gus seats were brought here from Chicago
for the worlds series guaranteed to seat
5000 persons.
Yesterday it looked from the playing
field and from the stands as though an
crowded upon these seats by any hook or
crook. Even as 1t was. there were a
gooGly number of fans standing in right
field If the Labor day attendance was
1890 there were 10000 in attendance yes
terday the players claim. or else half o:
the people at the big games here always
have stood up and been uncOuntable.
The players do not make accusations
against anybody, not even instructions.
They are even charitable enough to hint
that they think it must all be a mistake
a deception of the eye due to the seating
of the overflow inSead of leaving ii stand
ing. But at the same time they see no
good reason why they should not have a
representative at the gate to look after
their interests.

GEORGETOWN GOES TO RALEIGH

Tomorrow

A squad of twenty-five of Georgetown S
foot ball men. accompanied by the man.

on the 7:45 train tonight over the Sea
board for Raleigh. \. c.. where they will
play the strong eleven from the Agricul-

tomorrow. The Georgetowns have a spe-
cial Pullman car for the trip and will be
taken especial care of by the trainers. TIE
contest is toy come off as an extra at
traction at the state fair. which is being
held in Raleigh this week.
Little is known hereabouts of the
strength of the Tarheels. but. as they
always have a formidable aggregation. the
Blue and Gray eleven will probably have
10 work hard to win. So far A. and NJ.
have played but two games. both of which
were easy victories.
The boys from over the creek also
have two scalps on their belt. but. as
they were not pushed in either contest. it
cannot be determined for certain just
how good they are. The game tomorrow,
however. should show them out in their
true light and hence the score will he

Georgetown.

WOMAN GOLFERS ON
THE QUAKER LINKS

PHILADELPHIA. October 14.--From d
Philadeiphian point of view there was
only one regrettable feature about the
play yesterday in the women's invitation
golf tourney at Huntington Valley Coun-
try Club; that was that there was only
one Philadelphia left in the first eight
on the conclusion of the first round of
match play. To Mrs Ronald H. Barlow
Of Merton fell this honor. despite the fact
that she was the last Ia qualify in the
medal play on the previous day. Miss
Griscom. also of Merton. was decidedly
unfortunate in being beaten by Miss
Adams VIOLA ston. On the eighteenth
hole she had to put to win the match,
taking three puts to Miss Adams two,
and thus lost the match.
The star performer OF the day was Miss
OsgOOd. whose score of 80 Monday was
considered somewhat in the nature of a
fiuke by some of the critics. but she con-
founded them yesterday by negotiating
the eighteen holes in a magnificent IS. 1t
is not surprising therefore. that her club

constantly they would have crossed the
varsity goal line.
After this scrimmage the varsity played
a second period with the scrub team as

voted to defensive drill. The ball was
given TO the scrubs near the varsity

NOTES OF THE GAME.

1t is not often that Wahoo Sam Craw-
ford takes a nap in a game, but his SOM
Violence yesterday did put crimp in the
Tigers chances. 1t was, indeed, tough
for Jennings not to get a run in an in
ming opened with two clean hits.
Wild Bill Donovan will probably be seen
in action again this afternoon, rheumatic
rumors Notwithstanding. So, perhaps, will
Reulbach. These bear stories in base ball
are about as reliable as those pertaining
to the great gridiron sport.

who put Cleveland on the map for the
first time in ages, is writing the worlds
series for news syndicate. Addie has
mad two years schooling as sporting
editor of a Toledo daily and is in every
way qualified to spread the ink.
Cobb worked all the surplus hitting off
his Georgian system in that memorable
triumph over Pfeister at the Windy city.
Had he been on deck with the wallOp yes
terday it would have been standoff this
fair morning.
The Tigers have still an outside chance
but no one would lay any money on it
now. Brown was simply unbeatable, and
it is doubtful If any pitcher could have
stopped the Cubs yesterday. Summers
was hard hit, but he got away with lot
of luck except in the one inning.
No one in this part of the country can
figure why Jennings persists in working
Schmidt after the favorable showing made
by Thomas in Chicago. Thomas caught
number of Cubs when they tried to pilfer
and hit in cOmmendable fashion. Schmidt
can neither throw, hit nor run. Five took
advantage of his inability yesterday after
noon for deadly gains.
Despite the knocks which have been
handed the town by western scribes and
others about the parsimOny of Wolverine
rOOters, 1t appears that the little town by
the river is just loyal as any of it's
neighbOrS. Some IA 600 watched the game
in a deluge of rain Saturday, and nearly
IL, 900 paid to see yesterdays game Com
pared to the 1900 crowds at Chicago,
this is indeed complimentary to the City
of Straits. 1t must be understood that
Chicago has population some five times
that of the Michigan city.

CHICAGO, October LIT is
probable that the national COM

of tickets for the next worlds
championship base ball series out
of the hands of the clubs engaged
in the games. This is result OF
the number of tickets that have
been allowed to get into the hands
of SPECTATORS for the games be-
tween Chicago and Detroit played
here. conditions having been better
in Detroit
Thousands have tried to buy
tickets for the games here. only
to be told that none were left. al
though spectators offered tickets
before they We're on sale to the
public. AS a result the attendance
has been very small. and there
have been so many complaints to
