Professional Ball Tossers VIII
Show Santa Fe Some
Wrinkles

Spier, Detroit's great twirler and
Dick. pitcher for the Memphis team
will show Santa Fe baseball enthus-
lasts just how the leather covered
sphere should be directed across the
frying pan. This extremely interest
ing exhibition in ball tossing is to be
pulled Off at 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon according to Albert CLANCY one of
the local fans who is anxious to study
professional curves and all the ins,
outs, ups and downs for which the
great national sport is famous.
You see, it is this way" said one
of the fans today, "Detroit's great
pitcher Spier and Memphis's noted
tosser are in the city. They are here
on business and registered at one of
the hotels. The boys here who love
baseball have found this out and have
prevailed on both Spier and Dick to
pitch a game here Sunday. Yes, all
the plans have been made. We have
secured permission from St Michaels
college and have their grounds for
Sunday afternoon.
1T was thought well to charge
small admission fee and make the
game a sort of benefit or compliment
tary purse for the great twirlers who
are sure to give US lots of entertain
ment."
What teams are going to face EN-?
That is easy. We are going to have
picked men from the best there is in
local fandom. There will be no trouble
about that. The weather is just right
for this sport and there is going to
be ball game Sunday afternoon that
the people all over the Territory can
read about And it will pay them to
read about it if they can't attend.
There is sure to be a good crowd.
How about Spiers fierce inshoot?"
asked the reporter.
"There'1l be plenty of batters who
will stand up even to Spier and it
will be great sport" was the reply.
Both twirlers attracted lots of at
tention here this morning as they
walked around seeing Santa Fe. They
will spend several days here before
returning to the east to preside at
the ceremony of striking out batters.

PRESIDENT TAFT
To THE PRESS
He Intimates That He Is
Growing Thickskinned to
Unjust Assaults
FORGET IT, IS HIS ADVICE
Newspapers Are Essential and
Everybody Reads Them Is
His Conclusion.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 17.-President
Taft was the guest of honor or prin-
cipal speaker at functions of various
Irish and other organizations here to-
day Addressing the Chicago News
paper Club, the President warmed to
his subject, "The Press and touched
on phases of journalism on which ap-
parently he feels deeply. He said:
Newspapers, of course, are essential.
We say we do not read them. Well,
We have to read them. After time
of sensitiveness, what I call it, of a
sense of justice, ones skin grows
thicker, one is able to forget phrases
of contempt and irritation, one grows
stronger. After all, if we can only
survive two or three days of attack
and assault and unfounded state
ments, most people will forget them .

Chicago, H., March 17.-At the
Traffic Club, the President said: st
seems to be in the mind of some gen.

who are to be consulted are not those

dation of legislation affecting rail
roads you venture to consult a rail
road man, it is enough to condemn all
legislation which you recommend.
am ready to condemn railroads when
they violate the law. I hope I may be
always able, no matter what the result
to me, to do justice between the great
interests of this country, the people
the shippers, and the railroads; that
business may go on, that we shall
all be within the law and that every
man shall see it is to his ultimate ad
vantage to uphold that law and pre-
serve it and make it inviolate"

NO PRIOR RIGHTS TO
THE PUBLIC RANGE.
Judge w. H. Pope Takes Only Ten
able Position in Case of Mer-
chant VS.. AIston

Roswell, n NJ, March 17.-By a de-
man can hold exclusively a part of
the public range even though he has
improved it and created water sup
ply thereon, when other men come in
and make the same kind of improve
mentS. Judge Pope recognizes no
prior rights in such cases. The de-
cision comes in the case of c.. w.
Merchant and sons against Alston
Brothers Plaintiffs have long held
valuable range east of Carlsbad in
Eddy county extending to the Texas
line and have spent $4,000 building
cattle drift fences and boring wells,
building tanks and wind mills. Christ
mas and Williams, cattle raisers, came
on the same range and built watering
places, but were enjoined from let
ting their cattle Craze there because
their stock were infected and had not
been dipped according to federal laws.
Christmas and Williams leased their
watering places to Aston Brothers,
sheep breeders, and Judge Pope's de-
cision permits the sheep to occupy
the range, provided they are not al
lowed to roam within half mile of
Merchants wells. The Merchants
have given notice of appeal and state
that they will carry the case to the su.
preme court of the United States if
necessary. c. w. Merchant is veal
thy citizen of Abilene, Tex. His sons
live at Carlsbad.

Cincinnati, March 1.-THE situa-
tion confronting the miners and OPP
orators of the central competitive coal
field took on graver tone today,
when the miners convention received
a short report from President Lewis
of the inability of the subscale COM
mittee to reach an agreement. The
convention adjourned until this after
noon to be prepared to consider a
possible final disagreement in the joint
conference of miners and operators.

only TO friends or those who, like himseli,

But this does not conclude the list Of

He also is asked to make donations for
bazaar purposes, and these sometimes

Secretary of War. Jacob McGavock Dick
inson. who nevertheless is carried away
by the tide of collectors. and submits to
being done for his autograph. AS a
matter of fact. the Secretary has the rep
utation i'm his Office of being very obliging
when ii comes TO the requests he gets
for autographs and perhaps his little
query is one which he only harbors pri-
vately, and which should not be disturbed
Like the remainder Of the cabinet mem
bers. he sends out few photographs
There are exceptions, however, and one
is the case of request which came from
Mississippi recently for photograph OF
the Secretary to hang in the Mississippi
place of the Secretary. despite the fact
that he is accredited with coming from
Nashville Tenn. This request was not
only granted. but the Secretary took specia
care in the matter. and his private secretary
Walter r. Pedigo had a large photograph
of the Secretary made and framed. and
placed on ii plate with the Secretary
name inscribed thereon. all of which was
carefully packed and sent with letter
to Mississippi
The Post Office Department receives
an unusual number of requests for auto
graphs and photographs of the Post
master General. Frank Hitchcock. The
demand for his autographs is heavy. Not
a few requests for his photographs come
from the various post offices throughout
the United States, the postmasters de-
string his picture to hang I'm the Office
and these requests the Postmaster Gen
eral is inclined to look on as official. MOI
does he have to go out of the service to
find the owners of some of his auto
graphs. as many of the requests which
come to the Office in such numbers are
from letter carriers I'm all parts of the
country who are anxious to have the
signature of their chief"
The Postmaster General Is unfortunate
inasmuch as the requests for his photo
graphs outnumber those for his auto
graphs. and as the former are expensive
he stands between the need of disappoint
ing somebody or else of spending severa
dollars on some one to whom he Is mos
likely a stranger, and II can be put dovr
to his credit that in all cases where II
is possible he complies with the requests
which he receives.
To the Treasury Department come
many requests, for the man who is Uncle
Sans banker is popular with the col
lectors of both autographs and photo
graphs and Franklin MacVeagh must
neither object to signing his name or tC
having his photograph in homes to which
he is a stranger personally. Secretary
MacVeaph seems to be especially popular
with people who are raising money fol
