Federals Easily Repulse s1udry
Attacks
ALL N0TABLES PRESENT
EXCEPT GENERAL DIAZ
Fourteen to Three is the Awful
Record
By STAN

By STAN
The ball game Sunday between
the Alamos and a picked team
was on the order Of a comedy.
The Alamos we're nicknamed
The Federals. aud the picked
team was called "lnsurrectos."
The only trouble with the Insur-
rectos was that, unlike their
predecessors they couldn't IN
surrect.
Gen. DiaZ, otherwise known
as Serg. Clarkson, did not show
up, having abdicated his throne
first base-in favor OF "Navar-
ro", &. Baldwin. Some Of the
other Federals also did not show
up, so a general call for volun-
teers for the expected slaughter
was sent out.
The artillery for the Federals
consisted of "Cuellar" Pelphrey
and Rabago" ID. Baldwin, with
Tam borel" John Sherry for re-
enforcement, while that of the
Insurrectos was "OrozcO" Jim
Saulsberry and "Blanco" Fred
Saulsberry, with villa" Floyd
Haynes for reinforcement.
"Cuellar" Pelphrey had his
cannon there with the usual
amount Of smoke behind it and
the way he sent the cannon balls
to the plate was terrifying. His
Workmanship was above the av-
erage and he moved down the
ranks Of the Insurrectos as fast
as they appeared on the scene of
battle, and came out with flying
cOlors with ten strike-outs, no
casualties, aud no passes issued.
"Cuellar's' "vindup" was like
that of a fourteen day clock and
he had the Insurrectos afraid
that his arm would come along
with the cannon balls that were
sent up for their inspection.
"Orozco" Jim Sauis berry, be-
ing the director of the cannon
balls for the Insurrectos, served
them up in rainbow style and
managed to strike out eleven
men. "Orozco" got his distance
gagged wrong at times and issued
three passes. and one casualty
reported.
The Insurrectos evidently had
been studying the science of
aviation, and got out with
twenty-one errors, while the
Federals decided to stay nearer
home and got out with eleven er-
rors. The Insurrectos decided
in the seventh to see what was
going on in the enemy's camp
and made the altitude record by
letting in six men. After hold
ing a consultation they came
back to earth and only let in one
man in the next inning.
"Escudero" Dean Sherry re-
lieved "Cuellar" Pelphrey in
the ninth inning, "Cueller"
holding down the sawdust on
first. "Escudero" went to work
like . machine gun and shot
them in so fast that the Insur-
rectos were kept busy trying to
locate them. He struck out two
and allowed only one hit. At
one time in the game, the Insur-
rectos had it in for "Escudero"

dial is Not Ordered.

Washington.-Senator Norris Brown
of Nebraska in a speech before the SEN
ate charged that Senator William Lor-
inner of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the Illi-
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice. He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and Broderiek and Rep
~resentatives Lee O'Neil Browne,
White, Link, Beckemeyer and Wilson
had been bought to elect Lorimer sem
ator; that Browne and Speaker Ed
ward D. Shurtleff of the Illinois house
of representatives were the political
agents of Mr.. Lorimer in accomplish
ing his election, and that it was not
possible for the election to have been
brought about under the conditions
then existing except by corrupt prac-
tees. Mr.. Brown devoted most of his
remarks to an analysis of the testi-
meny which involved directly the rela-
tons Of Lorimer, Shurtleff and
Browne and the relations of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr..
Brown issued a challenge to obstruc-
tionists that he would hold up appro-
priation bills unless the senate votes
at this session on the Lorimer case,
the resolution pertaining to the cleo
ton of senators by the people, the bill
to create a permanent tariff board and
a general service pension bill.
