BIG LEAGUERS
In TRI-STATE

That the article of ball in the rfl-
state this season will be mucn fastcr
than in 1911 is illustrated by the
number Of fast young players the
managers arc securing from The big
league teams Every manager ia
Carpenters organization is after men
the. major leaguers will turn lnbsc
after the spring training trips.
Last season tho Tri-State teams
were handicapped 'rhoy were not
allowed TO take mon from the biz,
leagues unless they were purchased
outright. and the result was that tho
managers had TO go among the ANA
tours and released players TO psIch
up their teams. The article Of bah
was far inferior TO other years. Now
it will be different Already every
manager in the league. including
Jimmy Jackson has gotten men from
the big leagues and more are to

Talk of Building New Playing Field.

II was learned today that Stirlith
Bros. lessees of the South Side Bali
grounds. used by the Wilmington Tri-
State ball club last year, will shortly
advertise for bids for removing the
present grandstand, bleachers and
fence from the site they now occupy,
rs result of the failure Of parties
Interested in the grounds, to come TO
an amicable agreement. Further than
this there is a persistent rumor that
the Stirith Brothers will construct a
ball park on grounds they own along
the Causeway Just beyond the b. and
O railroad cutoff and that outlaw
baseball will be the attraction there
this summer. in opposition TO the Tri-
Stale League. II is said that the Stir
liths have been in conference with
J. II. Whitman, president OF the
United States League who was in this
city recently. and that the matter OF
placing q team here will come up be-
fore a meeting of the outlaw league 70
be held in Philadelphia tonight
The prospect Of opposition baseball
and two South Side ball parks would
no doubt complicate the local base
ball situation and there would un-
qucstionably be warm rivalry be-
tween two clubs should such a thing
occur as the planting Of an outlaw
league team in this city II would
almost be possible TO knock home
runs over each .otGcr's fences. Many
place little confidence in the propo-

thing might occur, although far dis

ADVICE Of ST|MSON
Secretary of War Discusses
Campaign at National Re-
publican Club.

Declaring that the campaign for the re-
publican presidential nomination should
be fought out on principles and policies
and not on personalities and "mudsing
ing" Secretary of War Stimson last night
urged the members of the National Re-
publican Club of the District to renewed
efforts. The club met at its headquarters
1341 Pennsylvania avenue.
Il occupy peculiar position in regard
to both the great republicans who are
candidates for the nomination." said Sec
retary Stimson, who was vigorously sup
ported by Col. Roosevelt when he was a
candidate for Governor Of New York,
and who is now supporting President
Taft. II have no doubt which man will
receive the nomination. he continued,
amid much applause. But 1 have no
sympathy with any attacks that may be
made upon the other Col RoosevelD.
Let us have q clean, decent fight, with
out descending to personalities"
Secretary StimsOn told the members
of the club that they were doing good
work in interesting republicans living
here to go back to their homes in the
states to vote, and also to get in touch
with the real feeling and thought Of
the people.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-03-24
What Taft Has Done.

One great reason why 1 believe in the
candidacy of our great President is that
quietly, efficiently and with the greatest
courage l have ever seen, he has gone
on doing things for the country said
Mr. Stimson.
No President, he said. has done so much
for honest tariff revision. He has advo-
Gated a scientific revision Of the tariff
in the interests of the consumer, who
was not much heard of before.
Secretary Stimson advised against mix
ing local and national issues, and against
reading good republicans out of the party
because of purely local issues. After the
nomination has been made, he said. these
good republicans will be needed in the
coming election.
Mr.. Stinfson was introduced by Edgar
G. Snyder, president of the National Re
publican Club. Several songs and piano
solos completed the program. The COM
mittee on arrangements consisted of Ed
gar G. Snyder, Gus A. Schuldt, Warren j.
Coffin and j. Harry Cunningham.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LIMA, Peru. March 23.-President Le-
gufa recetved me at the palace today,
and In the patio that PiEarro loved, and
under the fig trees which he planted. so
the legend runs, we talked OF the new
era that. owing to the impending con-
quest OF the Isthmus of Panama, is
downing on Peru.
President Leguia was delighted at the
cordial. almost fraternaL. tone OF Presi-
dent Taft's message, and in reply charged
me to say:
For myself and all patriotic Peru
vians ca nsay that our fondest wish and
trust Is that the traditional friendship
SO long happily existing between our
countries will. with the geographical
changes SO imminent, grow even closer
and that the ties, political. commercial,
and social. which draw all Americans
together will become even more numer-
Gus. And who can doubt that this will
be the case?
Drawing Americas Closer.
I'VE all have a tug at the heart when
We think Of that stupendous work which
for the good and progress of humanity
surely is drawing the two Americas to-
gether, and. as it seems to me. every day
brings my boy. who is studying at the
University or Wisconsin, nearer me by
thousands of miles.
'All We need is peace that will permit
and money that will make possible, the
development of our country. By the exer-
else OF patience and patriotism l believe
my people will secure both.
we are having a veXatiOus contro-
versy with our neighbor, Chile, regard
ing the Interpretation of the treaty of
Ancon, but We are not trrecOncilable, as
is sometimes represented, and l would
gladly submit the disputed clauses of
the treaty to The Hague peace confer
ence or any suitable tribunal. How
ever. nothing can prevent Peru from
pressing on to assume it's rightful place
in the development of this part of the
world, and l think the realization will
be as magnificent as have been in days
past the dreams of Peruvian wealth.
Construction of Railroad.
'As YOU know, l have much at heart
the construction of the Usayali railroad.
which will unite the headwaters of the
Amazon with the Pacific ocean and, as
We believe, convert Callao into the San
Francisco of South America The con-
struction of this road We have confided to
the hands of the McCune- American syn
dicate- Congress has sanctioned the con-
cession, and We hope TO see work begun
by May.
''Of course. some charge us with sX-
travagance, but our resources. even the
very few that are gettable today, are in
creasing In value by leaps and bounds.
When l became finance minister nine
years ago our revenue was a scant ST.
100000 in United States currency; today,
without undue pressure, il has reached
$16,O00,OOo. So / think, and the great ma
jority of my people with me, that we are
justified, at least. in going d long way to
meet the prosperity that is approaching.

MAKE GAS UNDER GROUND.
Sir William Ramsay's Novel Plan
for Ending Coal Strike.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, March % (by wireless to
Glace Bay).-Prof. Sir William Ramsay
makes a novel suggestion for ending the
coal strike.
why shouldn't gas be made under
ground? What's TO hinder the coal being
lighted where it is and air passed down
in right quantities? If water gas is
wanted, water could be passed down. 1t
would soon become steam. The right
thing to do would be to use gas engines
at the pits mouth which is the most eco
nomical form of power, and having cleo
tricity made at the pits mouth also. 1t
would cost very little to transform it and
convey it hundreds of miles,
Sir William was speaking at the OPEN
ing session of the International Abate-
ment Exposition and his remarks fur
nished much food for thought among the
delegates
