A lively wrangle over the deferred
recognition of Portugal by the United
States occurred in the Senate today.
Senator CuIbcrson, dem. Texas re-
erred to resolution Of inquiry offered
by him two months ago and on which
the foreign relations committee has
taken no action. He said that while
the president was busy sending telc-
grams OF congratulation to cmpcrOrS
and other crowned heads and naming
special ambassadors to coronatlons, the
struggling republic Of Portugal was
left without encouragement. He had
read President Taft's telegram to the
King of Belgium and his reply. Sena-
ator Root, Republican, n. ~ defended
the administration. He said the present
government is merely dc iacto and is
recognized only for business purposes.

BULL KILLS STALLION
IN A TERRIFIC BATTLE
Fight Is Begun at Midnight In
Stable at Sheepshead
Bay Track.

NEW YORK, July IA fight to the
death between a thoroughbred stallion
and a prize-winning bull aroused a good
portion of Sheepshead Bay early yester-
day morning The noise of the combat
In the stables at the race track was heard
a half dozen blocks away. Both animals
belonged to James Fitzsimmons. horse
man, who lives at the corner or East
14th street and Avenue ]. Sheepshead
Bay.
The horse. Poquessing. seven years old.
and sire of q number OF stake winners.
occupied a box stall adjoining the bull.
How the horse managed to get out OF
his stall and break down the gate OF the
bulls incIosure is not known. 1t hap
pened shortly after midnight
The noise of the fight brought George
Fitzsimmons. a brother of the owner.
from his house, three blocks distant.
and within five minutes a crowd of sew
eral hundred men gathered outside the
stables. The believing of the bull and
the screams of pain from the horse told
which way the battle was going.
Finally, when Fitzsimmons ventured
inside the stable. he found the horse In
its death throes. The bull did not try
to interfere with the men who hauled
it's victims body ont of the stall.
Fitzsimmons said yesterday neither AMI
NAL had ever shown signs OF viciousness
before.

"CHEERFUL CHARLEY" HICKMAN
ABOUT THROUGH WITH GAME
Popular Player Has Become Too Big to
Work in the Field, But Retains
Batting Eye.

ing him to the Toledo club OF the Amer
lean Association. Although still bat
ter of more than ordinary ability, Char
ley passed into the minors because of his
piano legs and girth, which prevented him
from locomotion with any semblance Of
speed
In 1909 he demonstrated that his bat
ting eye was still as bright as of yore by
leading the American Association swats-
men. Last season he finished second to
Cravath, who led the league while this
year he is one of the leagues leading
batsmen. as his present average OF 1868
demonstrates. Still even this ability to
pound the pill cannot keep him in the
game His grth and dimensions have in
creased with each passing season. until
now Charley resembles a baby hippo
rumbling around In the Mud Hens left

normal gated outfielder would have
proved the easiest of picking has drop
ped safe in Charley's territory. until
finally. batting average and ALL Charley
was placed on the bench, in favor of. a
player who. although hitting 80. is
fielding about 800 points better than
Diana.
After such a come-down for Charley 1t
is but a step to oblivion. Tomorrow and
Charley may be gone from the ranks de-
spite MS ABILITY TO nit. III MS prime lie
was acknowledged as one. of the hardest
hitters in base ball. Charley knew, and
still knows, but one thing: Meet the ball
on the nose. And Charley also knew.
and still knows, how to put this theory
into practice
Cleveland carried him to play right
field and first base; Detroit had him at
| first base and as a pinch hitter; Wash
ington played him at the initial sack and
also used him in the pinches; ditto, Chi
cago.
| Even last season Clark Griffith at
| tempted to secure him for a pinch hit
| ter's roIe but the deal could not be made.
Although he could still be carried in such
| a. capacity. II is not likely that Hick will
| consent. His contract with the Toledo
club expires this season, and 1t Is very
| probable that he will leave the diamond
and enter the brokers trade, a good po-
sition in a Toledo stock and bond con-
| Germ having been offered him.
| 1t was not only his batting ability that
won him the good graces of the fans
| wherever he played. His sunny dispo-
sition, his continual smile, even in the
| face of adversely, caused him to be dub
| bed Cheerful Charley" and .-Cherubc
| Hick" wherever he played. Fans in the
| big circuit still remember his slugging
| feats and all will mourn the passing OF
one of the greatest batters of all times.
