(By Associated Press.l

Albany, n. ", March II AT the
conclusion Of conference which,
with two Or three interims, covered
practically the entire day, President
Taft seemed hopeful that a tariff war
with Canada may yet be averted.
The negotiations between the Prcsl-
dent and w s. Fielding, the Cana
dian minister Of finance, did not re
suit either in agreement or disagree
mcnt Many details remain 10 be
worked out and at this time it was
declared that the following official
statement sums up the situation:
The President and MI. Fielding
were in conference in respect to the
tariff today for several hours. No
conclusion was reached, but the situa-
iion remains one OF friendly negoti-
alton :
Eleven days remain for friendly
negotiations before the maximum
rates Of the Payne-Aldrich law auto
matlcally 90 into effect against those
counpdes that are regarded by the
President as 'unduly discriminatory"
agaiast the United States. The law
Is arbitrary as to its application, but
hsl President. is given judicial pow
ors In reaching conclusion as to
what constitutes undue discrimina-
iion.
Up to this time Canada has been
regarded by the Presidents tariff ad.
visers as ,unduly" discriminatory
and unless concessions are granted
by the Dominion government to place
the United States on an equal footing
with France and thirteen other coun-
tries that have been given preferen-
tial rates under the Canadian tariff
it seems inevitable that Canada will
be the one important country in the
world against which the 25 per cent
increase in the maximum American
rates will be applied
The fact that President Taft sum
moned James Mcdonald of Toronto

cd him for his part in helping to
bring about the meeting, indicates
that the outlook is no; so dark as it
appeared few days ago The Pres

grams expressing the hope that an
amicable agreement with Canada
might be reached. Only within the

the seriousness of the situation been

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-05-04

We've heard of games being stop ped by rain, by snow, by cold, but it is very seldom that a contest is called because of a fog. Yet such was the case 1T, the Springfield-Bridgepo game yesterday afternoon at Newfield Park. The Ponies and Mechanics had teen prancing along for seven inn irgs, first starting with the glorious sun blazing down upon them. Along about the third inning, banks. of fog came blowing across the field the fans in the stands wishing that they had drought along their wraps. It be- came denser and denser until the eighth, when with the Ponies at bats Umpire Fahey called time" This was following resounding whack from Barbour's bat followed by the ball flying into right field. Skipper" Eley was on his feet with the crack of the ball, hearing 1t land to his right. The fans could see pair of white trousers in flight vanish after the bounding sphere, and then lost sight of the figure. It was well that the umpire did call the contest for it saved Freddie Gibbs from an un- nierciful beating. The Ponies had been getting to Gibbs for the four previous innings, scoring five runs to the Mechanics none. In the eighth session they had totaled five hits, for three runs, with only one out, that n a sacrifice hit, when the ump call ed the game.
 Murray Parker was almost in- vincible, letting the light hitting Me chanics down with four hits, and breezing ten men. When it was seen that the Ponies were finding Gibbs, there were cries to Take him out," but they were not needed by Manager McCann as he considered that his Io fective pitching by Parker.
 The play brought out what damage the lack of using the noodle will do. In the fourth inning, with three on Campbell hit to Miller who threw to Kocher to get Waite at the plate. All that was necessary for Kocher to do was to touch the plate, his man being forced out. But to the groanS of the fans Kocher waited till Waite came up to him when he tagged him out. If kocher had just touched the plate and then thrown to first base to get the last batter, he would have com rleted double play and retired the side. It so happened that Ira Plank followed with hit to right which brought in the first two runs of the game.
 Ball was the first man to take to the paths for either team. In the third he singled to right, followed by a steal to second where he was an- chored while Parker whiffed and Barbour went out, Gibbs to Bailey Kocher grabbed a base in the Me chanics half on a gift. Catcher Ball let the fourth ball get by him, Koch CT attempting to make second on the misplay but was thrown out, Ball to Howell. Gibbs followed with a hit, but Steinhauser struck out. With one away in the fourth Waite and Mason singled, while a gift to Howell filled To hi who threw Waite out at the plate. kocher had ample time to throw to first to complete a double play but he waited till Waite came home when he tagged him out. This error of judgment was very costly as Plank followed with hit to right which scored Mason and Howell. Ball com pleted the inning with a high fly to Miller.
 For Bridgeport Miller. was walked
