word yesterday that his terms had

was with Sioux City for two years,
going from that city to Burlington,
where he pie.ved another two years.
He then played with Elizabeth, N. J..
and Macon, Ga. He was also with
Grand Rapids, Mich, for a while. In
1906 Krick went to st. Paul for try
out. In the few games that he was
given a chance, he worked out well.
but Dick Padden, who was managing
the team at that time, had more
twirlers that's he could use. and 1t
was a case of somebody having to
go. Krick was let out. He came

SUNDAY BALL inst. PAUL
Manager Kelley Transfers Sabbath
Engagements to Other Cities, Be-
cause of Failure to Get Park.

ST. Paul, March 10,-Manager NJ. j.
Kelley of the st. Paul baseball club,
has announced that there will be no
Sunday games played In st. Paul this
season, at least not until after July,
and probably not at all. Failure to
get permission from the city council
to build a new park, which would ne
cessitate the closing of the street, and
falling to reach an agreement with the
owner of Lexington park, the only
present available place in the city to
play Sunday games, are the reasons
given. Manager Kelley announces
that he has already made arrangements
to transfer the games scheduled here
for Sundays to the other cities in the
association. Manager Kelley states
positively taht the teams will not play
at Lexington park this summer and
If new park should be built, which
now seems improbable, it would not
be possible to play games in it until
after July.

Is the representative OF the United

Madison, Wis, March 10-One of the
interesting political figures in Wiscon-
sin state affairs today is L. HI. Ban
croft, the present speaker OF the
house OF representatives Mr.. Ban
croft is lawyer by profession and is
making good politically. This is his
second term in the legislature and his
constituents have so far recognised
his ability as an orator and leader
that they have made him their
speaker.
Mr.. Bancroft first attracted atten-
ton several years ago, when he was
just entering upon his career as a
lawyer by fighting for the liberty of
Polish girl, Rose Zeoldoske, who had
been charged with poisoning a physi-
clans wife and later his sweetheart
because Of love for him. Young Ban
croft fought this case through all the
courts, only to meet repeated failures
at every trial. After every avenue of
legal recourse had apparently failed
he finally secured her pardon from
the state board. His tenacity and de-
termination combined with his ora
torical and persuasive abisTies at
OISS hhNS AhAh a. EePuLaAoH TO De
envied. Later when Senator La Fol-
lette was attempting to push some of
his laws through the legislature, Ban
croft appeared as a citizen before the
legislature in a committee of the
whole and so ably defended the bills
that he attracted statewide atten-
ton and was at once appointed assis-
tant attorney general by Attorney
General M. M. Sturdevant.
Mr.. Bancroft's ability as an orator
is very marked. His home is in
Richiand Center, and he is dominant

OFFICIALS SUPPRESS EDITORS

Madrid. March 10>--since the pub
lication two weeks ago OF some cable
grams between General Blanco al
Havana and the government at Ma
drid regarding the surrender Of the
city OF Santiago. Cuba, 20 General
Shafter on July III, 1898, bitter con-
troversy has ben waged here by the
editors OF some OF the Madrid papers
who wish to place the blame for the
untinely and disgraceful surrender
upon the government officials rather
than upon the brave generals who
were on the field Of action to uphold
the honor OF Spain. and the editors of
other papers who defend the course
the government took. It was learned
here that there was held last night a
secret cabal OF officials ard ex-officiaIs
whose names have been used or hinted
at in the controversy in such a way
as to besmirch their dignity Co decide
whether the further publication OF all
information on the subject will be
stopped by censure or whether an ar
gRment win be circulated in their de-
fense. The decision reached will be
made public by the action taken and
IL is probable that all articles not fav-
orable to the government side Of the
case will be quietly suppressed and
further disgraceful disclosures pre-
vented.
The ranking article last published
contained a batch OF messages sent
during the war time which demon
strate that the government, when 1t
Found that Blanco was hnalterabIy
opposed to surrender, communicated
directly with General Torel. the COM
mander at Santiago, giving him a free
hand to make terms.
General Blanco, on July 13. tele-
graphed to Torei that he would try
to relieve Santiago and instructlng
him to insist that General Shafter al
low the Spanish garrison to retire 10
Holguin or return to Spain or Spanish
ships, as otherwise Spain would con-
tinue the defense.
Regarding the suggestion" General
Blanco said further TO General Torel,
that some one must be found to as
sumo the responsibility for this situa-
tion. repeat that am responsible
for everything that has occurred in
Cuba since October last"
The same day General Blanco cab
led Madrid that the Juncture of the
Third Army corps with the Santiago
garrison had become impossible, but
that Torel must not surrender except
