COUNCIL HAS PROVIDED HITCH
ING RACKS ON THE CORNER OF
WILL ENFORCE ORDINANCE.

During the past week hitching
racks have been provided by the city
for teams on the vacant lots on the
corner Of Mission and Palouse streets.
Racks have been built around these
lots and a double row have been run
down the middle, giving lots of room
for hitching teams. This has been
done so that there may be no excuse
for hitching teams to telephone and
electric posts on Wenatchee avenue
The members of the council con-
slider that 1t Is not safe to allow lot
of teams to be hitched on Menatchee
avenue and that If this is allowed that
in case of runaway there might be
great damage done. The ordinance
against hitching teams on the avenue
will be strictly enforced. 1t Is the
purpose of the city administration to
make everything as convenient as
possible for those who drive into the
city to do business and to that end
to have constructed hitching posts in
a convenient quarter of the city that
from now on no teams will be al
lowed on Wenatchee avenue.

REVISION DOWN
WARD'' SAYS TAFT


Washington, July 17.-President

terday that he regarded the repub-
lican platform as meaning something
and that the sentiment of the whole
people is demanding Il revision
downward" eclipsed in interest all
minor and specific details of the tar
iff struggle here today. Looked upon
virtually as an ultimatum many read
in the statement a barely concealed
threat on the part Of the president
that if the bill reached him in the
gorm which he regarded as unfaith-
full to the party promises OF the party
and disobedience to the sentiment of
the mass of the people he would veto
it. A few of the prominent members
of each house of congress would not
discuss the statement for publication
and most Of the utterances intended
for quotation were of prefunctory
character, but in conference many
talked freely and some conservatists
very bitterly. Some went so far as to
say that the presidents stand meant
nothing less than defeat OF the bill.
One man said Now, the standpatters
will become insurgents, the lines will
have to be reformed and nobody can
forecast the outcome"

NORDYKE PLAYING
FOR RELEASE
RUMORS OF DISSENSION IN VAN
LAID OFF WITHOUT PAY
DICKSON TIRED OF GAME.

Vancouver, B. c., July 17.-Stories
of dissension among the players of
the Vancouver ball club have been
circulating freely Of late and they
were started afresh today when
Pitcher Deli Paddock returned from
Aberdeen with five-day suspension
hanging over him. Paddock was put
off the salary list for telling Manager
Captain Lou Nordyke a few things
in regard TO dumb play which Pad
dock pulled off in the game at Aber~
deem on Wednesday. In this game
Paddock was doubled up off first on
an infieli fly ball. Nordyke was
caught on a similar play right after
and naturally the player did not
think that he should be criticised
too freely by Dyke. Instead he was
put out of the game without salary.
Manager Dickson left the team
Wednesday night and returned to the
city yesterday. He did not give any
reason for leaving the players but il
is said that there is friction between
hm and Captain NOrdvke. According
TO the gossip which is going the
rounds NOrdyke wants TO Join the
SpokSne team whihc needs first
baseman and that is the reason he
is doing so poorly for Vancouver. He
is hitting away below his natural
gait and is not fielding in anything
like the manner he is capable of do
ing, Nordyke is desirous OF going
into business in Spokane and that
may be one of the things which is
vers. II is openly asserted here that
Nordyke is playing for his release.
The players are all dissatisfied. 1t
is no secret that they are not play
ing their best ball for NOrdyke. They
would like TO see Joe Sugden man
ager Of the club an dit would not be
surprising. if their desire became a
reality. The team is strong enough
to be in a comfortable berth in Sec
Ond place. but the players complain
that the team has no inside ball nor
signals ana nothing that good team
should have. They blame the pres
ent position of the team on NOrdyke
and ii looks as though there will
have TO be a change pretty soon to
keep the team out of the cellar Van
couver fans are loyal. but they want
a team TO lose on its merits When
the players are laying down. as seems
they want to remedy the trouble. And
In this instance If seems as though
the only method is to let Nordyke
go to the Spokane club. as he evident
ly figures on doing
Manager Dickson did not say any
thing about the trouble in the team
when ne came home yesterday, but
he admitted that he was tired of the
game. He is willing to sell out. how
ever, and when the prospective pur-
chaser. with the proper purchase
price. comes along. il would not take
long TO consummate the deal.
