 Eagerness to Learn
 Another valuable asset to a recruit is an eagerness to learn. In the past two weeks I have seen two or three young fellows become pretty good sliders by trying to learn. Very few recruits know how to slide when they first break in, and they have to be taught. The only sue cessful slide is the hook or fall away slide. The idea Is to hook the toe of one foot into the bag and throw the body away from the baseman so he cannot touch anything but the spiked toe.
 "I have found that the only way to get results in training is to be systematic. I work the men two hours every morning and two hours in the afternoon. 1 work just as hard as they do.
 Social Polish Helps
 Social polish is big help in making a baseball club win, as it develops per- sonal pride in the men and makes them want to be at the top. For that reason always encourage the youngsters to take part in the dances that are given at Mar lin every week. It also keeps their mind off the game. l would like to have my players think of baseball all the time when they are on the field and forget it when they get to their homes or hotel.
 "The business man who worries over his business during his leisure hours soon becomes mentally unfit for his work, and the same applies to ball players"

MEXICO CITY IS
2APATA' 5 Object
SAYS HE WILL ATTACK THE
CITY ITSELF WITHIN
EIGHT DAYS.
FOREIGNERS ARE ALARMED
All Embassies Received Notes Warm
ing Them of the Impending
Alack on City.

MEXICO CITY, May 24.-Tht
sense of relief experienced quite gen
eially in the capital by reason of the
decisive nature Of yesterdays baltic
was tempered today by news of 4
threat from Emliano Zapata, the Nor
clos rebel that he will attack the city
within eight days, If President Ma.
dero fails to resign within that period
Although the threat is looked upon by
government officials as "A possible ruse
on the part of Oro2co, intended to
halt the advance Of fed>rals toward
the north, it will not be overlooked.
On the contrary precautions are to be
taken to guard against surprise from
that quarter.
The warning came In communEa-
tions to the chamber of deputies and
simultaneously notices were sent to
all foreign consus in the capital ad
vising them to take such precautions
for the protection Of their subjects as
they might see fit. They We're as
sured, however, that no harm would
come to foreigners If it could be
avoided. The presence Of strong
bands Of armed bandits almost in the
edge of the federal district has not
failed to give the "ultimatum" of Ia
pata some weight particularly in the
minds Of the foreign population.
Oroscos connection with the "a
pata communication was shown, in tho
minds of officials, by the fact that
similar notes were received by several
Of the ministers from Jose Madrid Lu-
jan, Orozcos representative in the
United States. Iapata claimed to have
between 5000 and 5000 armed men
for the attack The notices were dated
in Cuautla, Morelos, but were mailed
in the post office here.
General Huerta was said tonight to
be continuing toward the north.
General Banquet, after retaRing
Aviles, 10 miles southwest Of Toueon,
OF May q, had a further encounter
near Sabine to the southwest, where
he was said to have again routed the
enemy yesterday with considerable
loss.

HAVANA, May 24.-Reports recelv-
ed during the day from Oriente prov
ince and emanating from other than
government sources, leave no room for
doubt that the insurrectionary move
ment in the eastern end of the island,
the main theater Of the insurgents, is
growing with alarming rapidity.
The reports are apparently con-
firmed in the extraordinary reticence
OF the government. in its increase of
severity of telegraph censorship, It's
activity in enrolling volunteers and the
determination to dispatch Major Cen
eral Monteagudo to take supreme com
mand Of the troops operating in
Oriente.
The only news concerning the up
rising the government had vouchsafed
late tonight was that various columns
of regular troops were convergins
from different points on the Cuba
railroad on the town Of Figuaybos, the
principal point in the district between
La Maya and Guantanamo City, where
the forces of Generals Estenoz and

CANAL MAY BE DOYCOTTED
PROBABLE CONCERT ACTION BY
 ENGLAND AND MEXICO.
' U. s. Hears Tolls on Suez Waterway Will Be Reduced Perhaps
 50 Per Cent.

Washington, Aug, 10.-England probably will boycott the Panama Canal. This information reached the White House from trustworthy sources.
 The plan of boycott is in an embryo stage, but in substance it is to pro- cure a reduction of tolls for the Suez Canal and a reduction of fees, such as charges for furnishing anchorage and electric lighting
 The distance from New York and even Norfolk to the Orient by way of the Suez Canal is much shorter than by way of the Panama Canal. Eng. land has made money out of the Suez Canal, and, 1t Is asserted, can cut the tolls 50 per cent.
 It is feared by some that If this were done business through the Panama Canal would be reduced two thirds. But officials of the admins tration say they do not fear a boy colt; that such a step would merely be a stimulus to American ship owners
 
 merchant marine. This argument Is met with a counter one to the effect that American ship owners cannot, on account of the drastic laws regulating navigation, ever hope to build up a merchant marine, and that the busi- ness will go to foreign bottoms.
 Mexico, it Is heard in some quarters, will take a hand in the boycOtting That government, through holdings of stock in the Isthmus of Tehauntepec Railroad, fears that With American ships granted exemption from tolls the business done by way of that railroad will go to the canal. That is almost certain to happen The biggest patron of the Mexican route is the American Hawaiian Steamship Co.,, which is an American concern. The canal bill, granting free passage to American ships, has President Tafts approval and he is expected to sign the bill promptly.
