new TROUBLE FOR TAFT
One Pet Measure Is Opposed by the
House Regulars.

Washington, May 11.-President Taft
is facing a new party complication. In
his effort to obtain an appropriation Of
$3.50. 900 to enable the new tariff board
to ascertain the difference in the cost
of production here and abroad and thus
lay the foundation for another tariff
revision based on accurate and scien-
tific I'M )rmatiOn it was said today that
the president would have the opposition
of Representatives Payne, DalZell.
Fordney and other high protectionists
of the house The insurgents are back
ing the president up in his demand for
the appropriation and Republicans gen
orally are looking to this appropriation
and the promise of another revision
which it carries as one of the brightest
elements of hope in the coming con-
gressional campaign.
The insurgents are wondering today
If in the event of opposition from
Messrs. Payne, Dalzell and the others,
their Republicanism will be called into
question by the powers that be-"
The plan of the ultra protectionists,
it is said, is to rest their opposition on
a point of order, when the provision
for the $3.50 900 appropriation is reached
in the sundry civil bill.
Representative Payne will open the
debate on this bill tomorrow with q
two hours defense of the Payne-Ald-
rich law. The entire debate is expected
to be taken up with the tariff question.
Speaker Cannon will not pass on the
point of order as it will come up in
committee of the whole with some one
else in the chair. Chairman Tawney of
the appropriations committee declared
today that he did not believe that a
point of order would lie against the
appropriation bill, if so an effort would
be made to get the appropriation in
some other way. Messrs. Payne and
Dalzen and Mr.. Tawney. together with
Senators Crane and Aldrich, were at
the White House today.

who is barely twenty-one years old. with
a little additional experience will prove a
serious contender for the lightweight
belt.
Today's battle was a case of hard hit
ting young fighter against an expert
enced. clever and game one. Before the
battle was three rounds old it looked as
if Hogan would add another scalp to his
belt.
In the fourth round Hogan beat his
opponent into almost complete helpless
ness and Frayne went to his corner ap-
parently beaten. Again in the fifth round
Hogan administered fearful punishment,
but Frayne wea+hered the gale. Hogan
struggled desperately to land a knockout
punch. but round after round. when it
appeared certain that Frayne was doomed
to defeat, he would come up re-
freshed and electrify the spectators with
an exhibition of gameness and clever
defensive work seldom seen in a prize
ring.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth
rounds IT seemed certainty that Hoean
would score a knockout. but again the

Will Jiggs Donahue. one-time peerless
first sackcr, come hack?
Owner Charley Comiskey and Manager
Hughey Duffy of the Chicago White SoX
are of the opinion that he has an excel
lent chance.
A good first baseman would help to boil
stor up the White Sox. and JiRger may
be the man of the hour. Donahue's eye
sight failed him as a result of paying too
much attention to billiards and bowling
under the white glare Of electric lights.
Scarcely night passed during tn" sum-
mer as we'll as winter that Jiggs did not
have his game. His optics gave way UNI
der the strain and he was disposed OF to

said he has recovered his eyesight fully.
II such proves to be the case. Jiggs may

Ball players are certainly funny propo-
sitions Manager Hughey Jennings of
the Detroit Tigers worked several hours
each day in an effort to perfect Ralph
Works in the pitching art. One day in
NV York Works finished game for the
Tigers and performed in such grand
style that Jennings felt that his work had
not been in vain.
The Tigers journeyed to Washington.
and Works brought more JOY to the heart
of Hughey by shutting out tn" Nationals
He surely looked as if he had arrived.
What happened? The Bengal crowd went
to Boston, and when Works was called
upon to perform he used an entirely diff
ferent style of delivery, with the result
that he walked six men in one inning,
and the Tigers were overwhelmingly de-
feated.
One of the Detroit players had sug-
gested to Works that he use a de-arm
delivery, and the kid worked hard in
practice in an effort to acquire the de-
livery. He used 1t against the Red Sox
with dire results.
Works. like any number of youths who
make good i'm the big show, got in into
his head he must have variety
OF deliveries in order to hang on. The
Tiger kid had just arrived at point
when he looked to have a chance to be-
come one of the regular twirlers when he
spoiled it all by experimenting.
Eddie Summers, another Tiger pitcher,
lost number of games through expert
ment along similar lines. but it. did not
take him long to realize that his knuckle
ball was his forte. and he went back to
his first love.
Hetnie Berger and Glen Liebhardt, for
mer Maps. for whom big prices were paid.
the sum expended for the pair being about
$4,000. found thter way back to the
minors as a result of too much expert
menting.
Moral-If you can pitch and win games
with a certain kind Of delivery, be salts
fed to let well enough alone.
