POLO GROUNDS IN
N. Y. FIRE SWEPT

New York, April IA Although the
damage Of the Polo grounds, in my
opinion. win easily amount to $780,
900 believe that If we can get in
touch with the officials OF the fire de-
partment ana the building department
we can clear the debris and place chairs
about SO that the game scheduled for
today can be played on these grounds,
said John j. McGraw, manager OF the
New York National league baseball
club early this morning while he was
hooking over the scene OF fire that
destroyed the grand stand at the home
Of the New York Nationals on the
eve OF the third baseball of the season.

washington, d. c., April 1.-THE
Mexican government, according TO the
view of the state department, VIII be
held accountable for the loss Of life or
one American, who was killed at
Douglas. Ariz., last night. during
battle at Augua Prieta, Mex, which as
directly across the border from Doug
las and also for the injury OF several
others.
No matter whether the bullets were
fred by government soldiers or by the
rebels, it is to the federal government
that the United States will look for
reparation.
AS soon as the official report upon
the fighting and casualties sustained
bv the Americans shall have been re-
ceived, representation will be made 10
the Mexican government. 1t is said, and
in due course the claims OF those In
iured will be presented. 1t is pointed
ont that Mexico will have counter
claim of contributory negligence on
the part of the injured Americans,
from the fact that the Americans took
their place in such proximity to the
fighting as to place their lives In
iaopardy. On the other hand many or
the wounded sustained their hurts
while in pursuit Of their usual pHsi-
ness IN the streets or buildings OF
Douglas.

ATHLETICS C.*:CE MORE
 BEAT NEW YORK TEAM
Score 4 to 2 In Third ViC!c7j
 Over GiantS.

Pounding the delivery of Christopher Mathewson in merciless fashion, the Athletics not only subdued the Giants by score of 4 to 2 at Shibe park, Philadelphia, but also captured their third game in the worlds champion ship series. Another triumph by the Philadelphians, therefore, will place them upon the baseball pinnacle.
 After one week of idleness the teams hooked up before another crowd that taxed the capacity of the park to the lxtent of 24.355 paid admissions. A large majority of the spectators went wild over the victory of the Athletics, which was accomplished by plucky up- hill playing after the New Workers had started off with a lead of two runs These runs were scored in the first in- ming when Devore singled, Doyle lined out three bagger and Snodgrass boomed a sacrifice fly, solving the h. dian Bender with unexpected success.
 The Giants and their followers hoped for victory, inasmuch as the mighty Mathewson announced before the game that he was feeling In tiptop condition. He struck out three men in the first inning, and 1t looked as if he was in shape to now down Mack's big hit ters to inevitable defeat. But soon the Athletics began to lace the ball with tremendous power, some of tue hits falling in safe places and others being gathered up in magnificent style by the tnfielders. But in the fourth in ming Mathewson met his Waterloo. It mattered not whether he pitched stright fast ball, a curve, drop or n fadeaway, the Athletics hammered him with a viciousness that easily showed their supremacy with the bat.
 Three men in a row-Frank Baker, Dan Murphy and Harry Davis-lined out corking two baggers. These crash ing drives, coupled with an out and sacrifice fly, yielded three runs and proved an advantage that the Giants never overcame. Again in the fifth inning the terrible Baker walloped an- other double and Collins, who had sin gled a moment before, ran all the way to the plate with the fourth run.
 Tn the ninth inning Merkle opened with long hit into the crowd back of right field, which yielded two bases. and the Gotham rooters besought the other Giants to get him home. But the big fellow was left on third base, as Bender turned on full steam and clinched the game. ... .-

 While there has been no news of further fighting between the rebels and the loyal troops, 1t is reported in Peking that many of the latter con. tinue to desert.
 It is announced that Yuan Shih Kai has not left as yet for his new post us viceroy of Hupeh and adjoining prov inces, but is engaged in recruiting n personal bodyguard of 800 men from among the old troops. -..

DEATH ROLL IN ALPS.
115 Climbers Killed In 1e11-AII but
 Two Were Without Guides.

115 Climbers Killed In 1911-AlI but
 Two Were Without Guides.
 London reports say the Alpine death roll for 1911, though probably not quite complete. shows that 115 persons were killed and thirty-seven injured during the season. The killed include thirty eight Germans, twenty-nine Aus trians, twenty-seven Swiss, nine F'renchmen. five Italians, three Eng Iishmen, two Russians, one Hollander and one American.
 As usual. the majority of the acci- dents seem to have been preventable, as there were only two fatal accidents to climbers who provided themselves with guides Thirteen of the victims were looking for edelwsiss and other Alpine blooms.
 Though there are many English climbers, the number of accidents among them is small, as they invari- ably take guides.

REVIVAL Of SENATE
FIGHT ON LOR|MER
IS CLOSE AT HAND
La Toilette Resolution for In
quiry Likely to Come Up
Tomorrow.

The Lorimer case may come up for
discussion In the Senate tomorrow. Sem
ators begin TO see the possibility that
this case will once more become an inn
portant factor in the present session.
and that it will come in for protracted
discussion just as it did last session.
With the chain of disclosures made In
the investigation before the committee
of the Illinois Legislature, the demand
for another investigation by the Senate,
unless Lorimer resigns, is growing.
If another investigation Is made and
Is reported upon in this session, 1t Will
inevitably follow that there will be
another fight over the matter. 1t might
happen, however, that the committee,
set at work TO find out the facts, would
not make report until the regular ses-
sion. In that case. the fight would go
over until next winter.
The Committee on Audit and Controi
of the Contingent Expenses of the Sen
ate will meet today, and may reach the
La Toilette resolution for an investiga-
tion Of the Lorimer case.
