Mickey Jacobs, who played third
base for North Adams last year, is
said to be impressed with the idea
that he is big league timber and re.

The last time Jacobs appeared in
Bennington he failed to make a hit
in four times at bat. being twice re-
tired on strikes. and failed to handle
the ball on two out of seven chances.

Havana.-The exchange of cable
grams between President Gomez and
President Taft has led to a more
definite understanding regarding the
attitude of the United States toward
Cuba.
President Gomez's message Of pro-
test against American Intervention
drew response from President Taft
in which assurances were given that
the action Of the American govern
ment was merely measure of precau.
tion and entirely disassociated with
any question of Intervention.
To this President Gomez replied as
follows:

cablegram. which is appeasing to Gu.
ban patriotism, because of the assur.
ance with action of the government
under your worthy presidency is linn
tied to the observation of events in or.

to protect the lives and property OF
American citizens and morally to sup

having to land American forces in our
territory. unless both governments
agree upon such an extreme necessity
ut clearly shows the sincerity of the
government and the people of the
United States as well as noble and
friendly sentiments toward the gov.
eminent and people Of Cuba, who are
determined to establish, as soon as
possible. public peace, for which pur.
pose they will not hesitate, no mat.
