TODAY'S GAME.
Corcoran VS.. Indians.

BY defeating the heavy-hitting Corcoran
Cadet team by the score Of IL to 10 yes
terday afternoon. Naval Medical School,
which is leading the league. got a firm
hold on the pennant, and it will be impos-
sible for any team to get it away from
1t. The pennant in the Marquette League
is decided, and the doctors get the bunt-
ing just as soon as the other teams play
OF their postponed games.
Holman and Rupert were the two slab
artists used by Manager Langley Of the
Corcoran team, and they were touched
up for a series Of fourteen hits, eleven Of
them being made off Rupert in the first
two innings and part Of the third.
De Vote, who served them over for the
pennant winners. pitched a fine game, al
lowing the Cadets but six hits. but even
1t that he came very near losing his
game in the final two innings, when the
infield took an ascension and the Cadets
fell one run shy Of tying the score.
Rice, the star slabman Of the Medico
team. was played at second base and also
Of the game He had nine hard chances
to handle and he took them all without
the semblance of a miscue, several of
them bordering on the sensational. He
also got two hits, one Of them being a
triple with men on bases.
T. Russo led the Corcoran team in bat
ting with two timely bingles.
Sebastin, the sorrel-topped second base
man Of the Cadet team, played fine game
at the midway station yesterday, taking
eight chances with but one m!scue. Red"
is one of the best all-round players in this
league and is also a good sticker.
1t looked as though the ST. Stephens
were going to have a walkover this sea-
son for the flag. as they won the first
seven or eight games that they played,
but the Doctors kept right at their heels
until they passed them and have not been
out of the lead since.

DEPARTMENTAL LEAGUE.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
No Game Today.


Agriculture upset all dope sheets yes
terday afternoon in the Departmental
League by nosing out q victory over
Commerce and Labor. Excitement was
intense at all times. as first one team and
then the other would run up few tallies.
The Laborites had high hopes Of winning
the game until the last man was put
down in the ninth. There were three
men on, two out, with Outnelder Kapp Ct
the bat, and one run needed to tie up the
game and two to win. A single would
have turned the trick, but all the singles
had disappeared from Rapp's bat, he
having famed, and the game ended, 8 to
Z, in favor Of the Aggies.
Rapp cannot complain Of not having
enough shoots TO choose from his last
time up. Seven different kinds OF shoots
were handed up to him, and, before the
served over. he had three and two on
him. Just imagine the excitement.
LIE Due was the hero Of the day, from
an Aggie standpoint. He relieved Jimmie
Fields, after the Laborites had piled up
all OF their TALES, and for four innings
pitched gilt-edged ball. He kept them
from further scoring, while his team
Due when not pitching plays third base
and there were many of the opinion that
he was better as fielder than as slab
man. Not so now.
The Aggies, at the end OF the third
inning, had a lead of five runs over their
opponents, but this handicap did not seem
to worry the Laborites much, for they
have often overcome such q lead this
season, and they fully expected to yes
teday. They did, too. At the end Of the
ffth they had obtained the lead. But
then they did not figure on any dark
horse for box duties.
Monk Waters had a busy time keep
ing the Aggies from making several long
hits. They chased him to all sections OF
center field on eight chances yesterday.
He didn't seem to mind, though, as he
gobbled them all in with apparently little
effort.

FREE LIST BILL
is UNCERTAIN
New Rsposss In the Senate
Finance Committee.

Washington, May 10.-The farmers
free list bill has gone from the
to the senate, where 1t was reported
and referred to the finance committee.
The inance committee will not give
It consideration until the pending Ca
madam reciprocity agreement is out Of
the way. Then there will be hearings
The bill may be discussed later with
the view to reporting 1t. A majority
of the committee is opposed to 1t, and
the chances are that it will be thrust
into a ~pigeonhole and left there.
While the regular Republicans as
sumo this hostile attitude, that Of the
progressives is but little less unfayor-
able. They believe the free list bill
goes too far. They advocate a COM
promise by which certain of the arti-
cles carried In the bill may be made
a part of the reciprocity agreement
and the whole passed as n measure.
The divided views of the Republic
ans leave the Democrats In a strange
position. Some of them think the free
list bill should be added In its entirety
as an amendment to the reciprocity
legislation. They take this stand, be-
lieving there will be no other way in
which to reach a vote on the PROPOSE
ton.
The senate Democrats expect to hold
a caucus and determine what the par
ty policy shall be regarding both reci-
procity and the farmers free list.

TAFT WORRIED

But is Determined Not


Washington, May 10.-President Taft
has made known his determination to
continue his policy Of noninterference
In the Mexican situation go long as
there remains any hope Of a settlement
of affairs there and OF protection OF
American life and property through
other means than armed Intervention.
Though the renewal Of hostilities at
Juarez has troubled the president a
great deal, he is still far from the end
of his patience and has no intention as
yet of abandoning his efforts to keep
the lighting away from the border line
and 10 keep American residents Of bor-
der towns away from the danger zone
when fighting is in progress.
Regarding the reports published on
several occasions that foreign govern
ments had demanded protection Of
their interests in Mexico from the
United States, the president told a
caller that the only request which had
been received of this sort al n
from Italy. That government simply
asked to know what policy the United
States would pursue In the protection
of it's interests in Mexico. Beyond this
no foreign government has made any
demand on this country with regard to
the Mexican situation.
