FIRST BALL GAME
MORGAN PARK
TOMORROW
Pitcher and Catcher Arrive
From Boston
BOTH HAVE GOOD RECORDS
Have Been Working Together for Sew
eral Weeks and are in Good
Condition
BOTH HAVE GOOD RECORDS

Pitcher Wilbur Corey and Catcher
Harry j. O'Meara, the battery with
whom the Bennington baseball team
will open the season at Morgan park
tomorrow afternoon, arrived in town
yesterday evening. The young men
have been getting acquainted with
the directors of the association and
others interested in the sport and this
afternoon expected to work out a
little on the Geld.
Both young men are ball players OF
considerable experience. During the
early part of the present season they
were with the Lynn, Mass, team OF
the New England league. Last year
O'Meara was the player manager OF
the Dorchester team, one of the fast
suburban mines about Boston and
Corey was with the Quebec team OF
the Quebec central league. They
have been working together since the
weather would permit of ball playing
this year and should be in shape to
hold up their end at Morgan park to-
morrow afternoon.
The Wiliamstown team which
comes to Bennington tomorrow is
considered TO be one of the best from
the college town in several years.
Manager Higgins, however. is of the
opinion that the aggregation which
he has selected ought to put up as
good a game as has been seen here in
recent years.

CALLS rAFT's MESSAGE INSULT
Porto Rican Leader Says He Foresees
Rupture With Government

San Juan, Porto Rico, May IA
Only excerpts from President Taft's
message ON Porto Rico have been re-
ceived here These have caused ex-
cited comment mostly of an unfavor-
able nature. President Tafts attitude
has caused general disappointment
among politicians of all parties. Gov.
Regis II. Post said that it would un-
doubtedly be disappointing in political
circles but he anticipated no trouble
in the island. There is no unrest here
and business interests are not affect
ed.
DR.. ]. G. Barbaso, leader of the Re
publican party, who is serving his
third term in the executive council
said:
The presidents message has not
surprised me; | expected it. 1t is I'M
just in treating all Porto Ricans alike.
Necessarily we shall all have to suf-
fer the consequences for the errors
committed by half a dozen politicians
who obtained their influence and pres
tige through open support of the
Americans controlling the insular gov
eminent"
Il foresee greater conflicts for the
future" said Louis Munos. leader of
the Unionist Party, terminating in a
complete rupture between the govern
ment and public opinion. The United
States cannot be held responsible for
it. They tried to prevent a clash but
could not. The message of the presi-
dent is an insult heaped upon weak
people that cannot reply
Santiago Iglesia, organizer of the
American Federation of Labor in Por-
to Rico, said; "The message is a
strong reproof generally, but it does
not discriminate between the various
classes. Organized labor is dissatis.
ned with the message, because it be-
lieves that the United States congress
should not punish those who have
had no hand in the crisis"

claims that it is not just for him to be
compelled to pay Mrs. Tichenor money,
as Mr.. Tichenor is taking care of the
children. and as Mrs. Tichenor has
money of her own in plenty.
