cult to maintain peace hereafter in
Latin America.
Senator Root Immediately framed his
resolution to give the President comprs
hensive power and the Senate passed 1t
unanimously.
To the Mexican rebels who captured
Juarez recently with the sole purpose OF
possessing a port of entry through which
they might import arms unrestrictedly
the resolution will prove a stubborn OBJ
stacle To-day's action Is departure
from the policy Of the United States In
the MaderC revolution, when ports or
entry held by the rebels received arms
and ammunitions If regularly consigned
TO merchants.
Major General Wood, chief of staff OF
the army, said tonight that probably a
larger border patrol would be required
| to enforce tie letter Of the new measure.
The Department Of Justice will exercise
| close scrutiny over all exports OF arms
! from this country, and 1t Is believed that
unlawful shipments will be taken here
after at points of origin.
Mexico City, March 13.-The Root resoiu-
ton adopted by the United States Senate
to-day was a source OF qualification to ofi-
cials of the Mexican government. Since
the revolutonists captured Juarez the Ma
dero administration has confidently looked
to Washington for such action.
MY old friend. Secretary Root. in propos-
ing this measure, has demonstrated an un-
derstanding of the conditions existing in
my country, and | am extremely pleased TO
learn of the favorable action of the United
States Senate" SAID Sehor Calero, Minister
of Foreign Relations.

Denies II Would Help Women.

Mrs Robert McNickar, OF Mount Vernon
president of the New York Consumers
League. said that she had been in civic
and philanthropic work for many years
and said she had never seen the time when
the ballot would have been a help to women
The work Of influencing public opinion,
she said now belongs to women. for
women are disinterested They would be
deprived of this influence If they had the
vote and became active in the political
arena. / ask you which has exerted the
greater power for good. Mrs. Pankhurst or
Mrs. Ballington Booth?'
Miss Tholma Lewis vivacious young
woman, told the committee that the woman
suffragists do not understand what they
are asking for and should not have re-
sponsibility which they cannot shoulder.
Women are now serving the state In
many better ways than they could If they
had the vote" she said.
Miss Margaret Doane Gardiner. grand
daughter Of Bishop Doane, said that the
trend of woman suffrage was toward so
cialism and against the strengthening Of
the family unit. Miss Bronson, who was
a member OF committee connected with
the United States Bureau Of Labor which
Investigated the condition Of working
women and children throughout the coun-
try, declared that the non-suffrage states
now have better laws for the protection Of
wage-earnng women and children than
those which have given the vote to women.

StjIwelI Aids Suffragists.

While the suffraglsts were presenting
their side of the argument Senator Still
well. who introduced the woman suffrage
resolution, entered the Assembly parlor.
saving that he had taken a few minutes TO
sneak for the bill He told the committee
that he had introduced the bill last year,
and a little later said that only two months
ago he had come to believe in woman SUI
rage. Mrs. McVickar asked him how it
was ne introduced the bill last year if he
did not believe in suffrage then. Her
question was followed by round of APP
plause from the ants. which drowned out
the Senator's attempt TO reply.
Now, ladies'" he repeatedly shouted
until he had gained their attention, Il in
troduced the bill last year, not because l
believed in suffrage. but because | con-
.idered that the Legislature should put this
question up to the people OF the state to
decide"
Then the suffragists let forth their volley
of applause.
Senator Stilwell said there were enough
votes in the Senate to advance the bill.
Among those who spoke for the bill were
Miss Harriet May Mills, president of the
State Association; Assemblyman Murray,
who introduced the bill In the Assembly;
Mrs Joseph Gavit, of Albany; Mrs A G.
Fiske and Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch, OF
New York. Their main arguments We're
that politically women were the equal
with men," and that the ballot in the hands
OF women would improve the condition OF
the sex generally and would particularly
benefit the working women.
During the hearing Assemblyman Patrie
asked Mrs Blatch II the bill were defeated

RECORD OF JOE
 WOOD TO STAND
BAN JOHNSON RULES THAT BOs- TON PITCHER GETS CREDIT
 FOR CHICAGO GAME.


 Chicago. Sept 12.-That Q pitcher can be batted out of the box and stiYi win his. game is the opinion Of Ban Johnson, president of the American League. The czar of the young m ajor organization declared yesterday that he would credit Joe Wood, the sen sational speed dispenser of the prcs- pective champion Red Sox, with Tues days victory over Connislley's white hosed warriors. Bans is the final word in the matter. His decision gives Wood a record of fifteen con secutive victories, just one shy of tho American League mark, established recently by Walter Johnson, of the Washington InarVels.
 Boston won Tuesdays game from Chicago by a score of to A. Wood pitched eight of the nine innings. He was relieved by Hall in the ninth inning after Chicago had succeeded in getting two rum CTS the paths with none out. The score, when Eali as suT1ed the pitching burden. was to 2 in favor of the Hub aggrega ton.
 It was the fact of this lead that in huenced President Johnson to give Wood the benefit of the doubt Of the two runners only one succeeded in scoring on Hall. Johnson advances the. argument that Wood had a better chance, even in face of his handicap, to staVe off two runs than Chicago had of bringing the brace of runners home He also figures that Wood deserved consideration for his eight rounds of work.

 CANDIDATE IN 24TH SENATORIAL DISTRICT

Lester o. Peck of Redding Ridge
 has issued a statement as to his can didacy for the Senatorial nonaination in the 24th district. NettIed at re- ports of his having refused to enter the race, he has stated his position clearly and forcibly. Here is his let ter:
 Apparently without foundation of fact it has become rumored that I am not a candidate for the Demo- cratic Senatorial nomination from the 24th district. I hasten to correct such rurnors. I am unequivocally a candi- date Had the former senator Charles Peck been III the Republican race I doubt very much if I would seek the nomination, as the 24th dis trict was represented with great in tegrity and intelligence by him. appreciate that there are other can 5didates besides myself for this office and I hope it will be the wisdom of the convention to select the man that can best serve the whole state in the Senate, and at the same time attract the most votes 1 am opposed to special privileges. and I believe the political control should be wrested fronthe system and restored to the people where it righteousIy belongs and without malicious injury to any one The appended article from The Bridgeport Farmer of July 18th gives a resume of my attitude bearing on public acts at the last legislature"

The fans won't recognize the Bridge port team when it takes the field next season. There is going to be a whole sale shakeup for the management be- Heves that new faces are needed. Capt. Tom Crook will be traded or sold be- fore next spring. He has made an excellent record as a player but he thinks a change of scene will do him good He would like to play in the New York State league and may land there.
 Pitcher Freddy Gibbs is another who will go Freddy has made a fair rec ord this season but the management thinks he has been here long enough and he is also of the opinion that he would take a new lease of life with some other team Gibbs will probably be traded
 Catcfers Eddie Bridges and Harvey Russell will stick and so will P1tcherS Tuclxey Sexton and Barron Second Basenan Stow will get another trlal

GOLFER WALDO
 HIGHLY PRAISED
CRITIC PAYS TRIBUTE TO LOCAL BOY WHO
 BEAT HILTON.

c. G. Waldo. the Brooklawn golfer. who won fame by beating champion Hilton at Chicago last week, is given the following praise in the New York Evening Sun:
 Possibly H. H. Hilton underated the ;goIhng ability of C. G. Waldo, Jr., and expected rather an easy first match, especially as it was at thirty six holes. For Waldo, though for the last two years winner of the Connec- ucJt championship, was not known so well at Chicago among the group of golfers of that city as in his own State and in Massachusetts
 Rather then, must the defeat Of H. H. Hilton be attributed to a lapse of form to some degree comparable to that which he experienced this year in the amateur championship of Great Britain at Westward Ho.
 <If Waldo and Hilton had played an eighteen holes match the former would have won by and 8. But it must not all be attributed to apse of form on the part of the visitor and 1911,- though he appeared to be mak- ing many poor shots for one with such g. unique regulations.
 By the figures it is proved that Waldo played remarkable golf. In the morning he was out in 36 to Hill toms 39 and 3 up. Waldo came home in 38 for a total of "A while Hilton was 39 for a. total of 7s.
 .'Waldo's pluck when Hilton was extremely cred1table. and that he was completely done up by the strain was shown in his next match with Paul Hunter''

YALE DEFEATS
 HARVARD AT GOLF

 citing Days Play

Manchester, Vt, Sept. 12.-After winning in the fourso1nes yesterday
 morning by two points to one liar ward fell down in the individual matches yesterday afternoon and lost the intercollegiate golf team cham pionship to Yale by six points to three.
 The Yale players proved far better in the afternoon play than in the morning. Captain Stanley set the pace by taking the measure of Cap tain Davidson of Harvard by. 3 up and ? to play.
 At this time BowIes and McNei1 were starting for the nineteenth with complete results showing three points for each side. A crowd gathered and all wished hard, but apparently the Yale crowd wished better. for after both players had topped their second shots Yale had the advantage of not having to play from the bank of ditch as did the Harvard man. This settled the match, Seeley of Yale, re- porting a victory over Burton, liar ward, Ya1e's team became cha n1plons. The eXcitenn ent was not over, how ever, as Wheeler, Yale, and Booth of Harvard, were still on even terms at the last green and both men wanted the eNtra points.
 Apparently unaffected Joy the fact that Yale was victorious they started on an extra hole match which re- quired mum erous caddiesz to play the part of searchHghts, and ended well. after dark out at the fifth green in favor of Wheeler

STANLEY KETCHEL. MTDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION,
 BEGAN AS A "BOUNCER.' .''

Now that he is dead. tragical1y shot down in his prime, and a host or second-raters are squabbling over the title he held, the pugilist1c world IS just beginning to realize what great fighter it had in Stanley Ketchei. Day after tomorrow Sept. 14, will be the twenty-ffth anniversary Of ketcheiS birth in Grand Rapids, Mich, and now is an appropriate times TOT tell ing something of his early career, be- fore he succeeded to the title as fourth rniddleweight champion of the world. Ketchel was born on a Michi- gan farm His father was a Pole and his mother an American woman. Stan ley attended the rural schools Of his neighborhood, and there inb1bed a spirit of patriotism that would make him fight a man twice his size if said man cast asparagus on his great heroes, George Washington and Kos ciuslxo the Polish patroit. In his student days Stanley specialized in history, and many college graduate knew less of the worlds history than a pugilistic titlehoider. As a lad, KetcheI was fond of sports of all sorts, with baseball as his fayorite pastime, and had opportunity offered he might have won renown in the great American game Stanley was only thirteen when he decided to go West and shoot InJuns or become cowpuncher. He ran away from home and beat his way to Montana. The redskins there seemed so tame that it. would be unsportsnlanlil1e to shoot 'em, so the Youngster became a cow boy. After punching cattle on the range for a time. he went to Butte, where he was employed in the mines shoveling ore. This job developed his muscles to remarkable extent, and was largely responsible for the kick he put into his punches when he be- came a pugilist. Firing of such strenuous endeavor, young Ketchel got job in a restaurant in Butte His next situation was in the capacity of -bouncer" in dance hall. His duties consisted in assisting to the exit any patrons who became obstre- porous, and it was in this dance hall that he may be said to have com menced his career as a fighter. One night a gang of bad men invaded the place and proceeded to start d rough house. Opportunity knocked at Stan ley's door, and found him ready and waiting. Nobody knows exactly what happened that fatefuI night but at the finish of the ructions a num- Der of bad, wicked men found them selves, bruised and bleeding in the street. The fame of "Kid'' ketcheI spread abroad in Butte, and the dance hall became the scene of nightly en- counters between the boy from Michi- gan and men of aII-ages and sizes who thought they were scrappers
 . The story of Ketchers early career will be concluded tomorrow

SAYS ED WALSH
 IS GREAT HURLER
Umpire Bill Dineen Declares Johnson and Wood Have Nothing on

Umpire Bill Dineen. who ought to know something about pitchers, and who has been watching hurIers for a long time, brought up the subject the other day. and here is what he had to
 s+'I have wa tened Walsh closely for several years, and it is nothing less than wond erful. the way he continues worked so much by Fielder Jones in 1908 many siad that would be about all for Big Ed. They thought he had shot his bot; It didn't seen that an any 7 work and retain his effectiveness. Walsh has worked nearly four seasons since 1908, when he appeared in so many games. He has. continued to pitch nearly six seasons since he won a worlds championship for the White Sox, but he seems to be about as strong today as seven years ago.
 I attribute Walsh's great stamina. and wonderful record to the splendid care he takes of himself. Other players with similar talents have been addicted to drink, Or have had some failing which has sapped their vitality and shortened their careers. Walsh takes good care of himself He doesn drink intoxicants, chew tobacco, or chase around He is not a habitue of the great white way
 When I watched Walsh fan Hal chase in a pinch as he did Frank Baker at Philadelphia, I couldn't help admire the big fellow for conserving his talents There couldn't be greater test on players ganeriesS than facing Frank Baker with the bases loaded, none out and a run needed to tie the score. That was what Walsh faced and he conquered Baker in much the same manner as he humbled Chase and Speaker in similar tight places It is evident to me that Walsh is about as effective today as he ever was.
 Walsh has a record this season that outshines that of Walter John son. in spite of the fact that the Big M loose has worked mush harder than the wonderful speed dispenser of the WasE1in gton Senators. Walsh appear ed in ffty-four games for the White Sox about ten more than Johnson. He has pitched against the Philade1-1 pIlia Athletics the heaviest sluggers in the circuit. many more times than has Johnson

PRINCETON ELEVEN
 GETS ANOTHER VETERAN

Princeton, N J., Sept. 12-The Tiger football squad was increased yester- day by another veteran from last years champion. eleven, G. F. Phillips who played right tackle in 1911. Phil lips came out in a running suit and did very light work.
 The feature of the afternoons prac- tice was the running through of ele- mentary formations by the varsity backs Pendleton, Baker and De Witt. Captain .@To1'' played at left half, with Baker on the other side of De Witt, who was at fu1lback. En1mons, a. quarter who showed promise in 1911, tossed the ball to the backs, making rather long throw with the leather, which is taken as another indication of the Tigers loose game this fall. Gile and De Witt, the two kickers, practiced few boots, with Baker, Emmons and Pendleton at the receiv- ing end. Bluethenthal, variety center, and MacAlpin, a sophomore, who is showing up well, got off some good passes to the kickers.
