Kaiser's Letter to
President Madriz
German Foreign Office Issues State
ment Regarding Alleged Endorse
ment of Nicaraguan.

BERLIN, July 12.-The foreign office has
given the Associated Press an authorized
statement respecting the letter Of Emperor
William to President Madriz of Nicaragua
Reports have reached Berlin that attempts
are being made in America to construe this
letter as an endorsement by the emperor
OF the Madriz party.
The statement follows:
"Madriz gave notice of his election on
undertaking the presidency to the emperor
in the usual written form. The customary
formal reply was prepared by the foreign
office. 1t was not an autograph letter, but
was simply signed by the emperor. The
address great and good friend was in ac-
cordance with official courtesy. Any in
tervention by Germany in Nicaraguan af-
fairs neither followed nor is intended. Ger
many neither sought nor designs to seek
a coaIing station. Rumors of Germany s
Intention toward the Ga1apag as islands
are equally without foundation as are all
suggestions that the German government
has in any wise modified the cultivation Of
friendly relations towards the United
States"
The reported offer by MadrIz of a coal
ing station to a European power II 1t
would intervene In Nicaragua was not
made to Germany, the foreign office de-
clared. The Berlin press makes much of
attempts abroad to cast suspicion on Ger
many's Latin-American policy. Many jour
nails affirm that an intrigue is in progress
| against German good faith.
| WASHINGTON, July 12.-The State de-
partment from the first has believed that
the communication to Or. Madriz, by the
German foreign office was purely q matter
Of form and made without the slightest
regard TO the existing conditions in Nicar-
aqua, Of which Germany, having relatively
insignificant commercial interests there,
was hardly expected by this government to
! have intimate knowledge.

Former Champion Thinks He Was the
Best Lightweight.
Bob Farrell, who was lightweight
champion of the world during the days
when they fought with bare knuckles
and when John l.. Sullivan was in his
glory, is visiting in Michigan.
When Sullivan was touring the
country meeting all corners, Farrell
Travelled with him, meeting light
weights. He has followed the fight
game for 2S years, fighting and teach
ins others the science of the game.
The fight between Battling Nelson
and AID Wolgast in Port Richmond
the other day was one of the greatest
in ring history, is Farrell's belief, but
he maintains that George Lavigne at
his best could easily have whipped
either Bat or AID. He thinks that La
vigne is the greatest lightweight the
world has known and pr badly ever
VIII know, and Bob was a lightweight.
Harlem Tommy Murphy could
give Wolgast a hot argument in a
short go, thinks Farrell. He likes the
easterner and believes him a fit foe for
the new champion.

WAGNER TOO MODEST.
Passes Up $500 Job on Stage Because
Of His Bow leus

W oOW LG8os
John Miller. the able second sacaer
of the Pirates and bosom friend OF
Hans Wagner. came over to New
York from his home in Kearney, n.
j., during the league meeting with his
signed contract. which he wished to
hand to Barney Dreyfuss in per-
son, feeling that 1t was too valuable a
document To be intrusted to the mails.
He had long wait, for he got in long
before the magnates were up and
about, and he delivered the contract
all right. asked a4ter Honus and then
dashed back to Kearney, so as to get
i'm half day at the glass works,
where he is working for $14 week.
Miller lost a chance to make some
big money the winter through the
modesty of Wagner. The pair were
offered 500 a week by a vaudeville
concern TO go out on the road with a
basketball sketch, both being experts
at the indoor game. Wagner was to
get $500 and Miller 5000, but the
Flying Dutchman refused to go out.
fearing that the audiences would kid
him about his bow legs. which are a
scream in a basket ball suit. His refu-
sal cost Miller the difference between
5000 and $14 n week, which is some
sum Miller Will not lay it up against
Honus, however, and the pairs friend

slight financial incident.

CONNIE TAKES YOUNGSTERS.
Will Look After Colts Himself o.
Their Training Trip.

| Connie Mack does not expect to
make many changes in the team that
was barely nosed out by Detroit for
the American league championship
last season. He has split the Athlet-
les into two squads, composed of vet
Grams and youngsters.
1t is a singular fact that the vet
and colt bands will never meet down
south. The squads got started Mon
day. The youngsters in charge of
Mack go to Atlanta and the seasoned
men, conducted by Capt. Harry Davis,
go to Hot Springs, Va, for boiling
out. They will stay at the resort 10
days. and then go to Atlanta to find
that Mack and his detachment had
left the day before on an exhibition
tour.
The principal candidates in Mack's
party are Catchers Egan and Kum-
mer, who will fight with Jack Lapp
for the third string job. Amos Strunk,
the speedy Philadelphia, who did star
work in the American association, gets
another trial in the outfield after be-
ing banshed last spring. 1nfelders
McInnes and Rath will cover short and
third respectively.
Ben Houser, six-footer, who is a
Quaker boy, is candidate for first
base. Houser is a fast fielder and an
extra base swatter. Mack is so I'M
pressed with Houser that he will keep
him the entire season to be used In
case that Davis is incapacitated.
Wilbur Goode, who goes to Phila-
delphia from Cleveland, I'm exchange
for Simon Nichols, will be closely
watched by Mack. Goode has an ex-
cellent chance of landing the center
field place Jackson, repeatedly tried
by Mack, will also be in the party,
as will pitchers Adkins and Kellogg
and n number of others.
In Davis division will be found
pitchers Plank, Bender, Coombs, Nor
gan, Krause and Dygert, Catchers
Thomas and Livingstone, Inhelders
Collins, Barry and Baker. and outiield-
ers Hartsel, Oldring, Murphy and
Heltmuller.
Davis, great baseDall general anu
cleanup hitter, will be retained at
first. and there Is nobody to worry
Eddie Collins, next to Cobb the great
est batsman and base runner in the
American league. Baker. another hit
ting and fielding prize, will be at third.
and Barry, conscientious worker, has
the inside track at short. Dan Murphy
is virtually the other outfielder sure
of his place. The others will have to
fight.
Davis men will return to Philadel-
mia on April to open the series
with the Phillies. The Mack contin-
gent is not due to arrive until the
day before the opening Of the cham
pionship season.

DATES ARE NAMED FOR
BIG AQUATIC MEETING

Chicago. March 2.-Dates were an
nounced recently for the National and
Central Amateur Athletic union swim
ming cham pionships TO be held at the
Chicago Athletic association and the
Illinois Athletic club respectively. The
National events will be decided on
March 20, consisting of the 50-yard
dash, relay race and water polo. ION
the day following the Central swim
mers will meet at the /. A. G. i'm the
100 yard. 200 yard. 44O yard $50 yard
and one mile swim, plunge for dis
lance, 1OO-yard breast stroke and 100
yard back stroke.
Nothing has been learned yet as to
whether eastern clubs will send men
here TO compete. Two years ago the
New York A. c. held the polo cham
pionship, but refused TO send a team
west to defend ii and failed to enter
any of the other events held here.
The polo title is now held by the c.
A. A., which has a strong team To put
in the tank i'm an effort TO hold on
to ii. Both the local clubs have strong
relay teams, as well as good short and
long distance swimmers, and it is
thought that the major portion Of the
titles contested for here will remain in
Chicago.
National Champion Plunger Charles
L. Brown will head the team sent to
st. Louis and will be accompanied by
such strong swimmers as II. ]. Handy
and Carl Weber in the 15O-yard back
stroke, Princell and Woodruff in the
junior plunge and Handy, Princell,
Jensen and Van Reeth in the 300 yard
breast stroke. The c. A. A. has not
decided whether any men will be sent
