RAIN STOPS CUBS.
MAY PLAY TODAY
Open Date Will Be Utilized
to Decide Final Battle of
Card Series.

Moderating temperature melted the
icicles in the air and converted them
over night into a rain storm that not
only kept the Cubs and Cardinals from
completing their current series of COM
bats yesterday but even kept the wild
est baseball maniacs inside. The two
teams will try to play off the postponed
open one for both.
Obeying imperative orders, the Cubs
reported at the ball park for morning
practice. but there was nothing to do
but turn round and paddle back again.
for the rain beat the players to it by
park for any other purpose than navi-
cation impossible.
There was much disappointment in
both camps Chances men wanted to
complete. while they were in the mood
for It. the job of exacting revenge from
the Cardinals for what happened last
Friday Moreover, they wanted today
to complete the work of getting settled
in summer quarters, few of them hav-
ing located more than temporary stop
ping places in advance of the opening OF
the season. The Cardinals wanted tc
return to that dear ST. Louis and were
1oath to remain here another twenty
four hours this being one of the few
months in which it is more comfortable
at the other end of the drainage cana
than at this end.

Way to Victory.

Detroit Mich, April 29.-In the same
rampant style that has marked their
play since leaving home. the White Sox
raked in anothe rvictory from the dis
consulate Tigers yesterday making the
seventh straight the road and Civ
ing them a stronger hold than ever on
first place The score yesterday was Q
to and the battle took place in the
midst of a drizzling rain and chilly east
wind.
A second inning rampage gave Chi
cago four runs and the lead and al
though Detroit rallied in the sixth and
threatened, Manager Callahan switched
pitchers on them just at the critical
time putting an end to their outburst
In the meantime the Sox kept on bat
ting home more runs, so were never in
any great danger of coming out on the
short end.
Bill Burns, the sleepy southpaw, who
was once a Sox pitcher. then later a
hurler for the Reds. but now one of De-
troit's staff, was on the slab for the
home team, but Bits famous sleep
ball" wasn't working well and the Sox
damned him hard until after six in
nings had been finished he gave way to
a pinch hitter and young Dubuc finish
ed the game.

Secrets Of Good Advertising
Concentration All Important

An eight-nch advertisement in one newspaper
win bring much bigger results than two-inch ad-
vertisement in four newspapers
Don't skip around from one newspaper to an
other. Success in advertising comes from hammer
ing away at the crowd.
Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of
readers you want for customers and then stick. If
you want to make advertisement hit all you need
to do is talk to the reader of the newspaper as you
talk across the counter the counter to a customer
Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it,
Let your words ring true. The people will listen.
They like it.
The fact that your advertisement appears con-
tinuousy IN reputable newspaper stimulates pub
the estimation of thousands of people who may be
months in getting around to make their first pur-
chase
Originality may be good, but an advertisement
that sells goods if copied is better.

HE ONLY BREAKS ANKLE
IN HIS 22-STORY DROP

NEW YORK Special When the
MONDAY whistle blew Monday Nicoio
Sargis was working on the twenty
second floor OF the building beins
erected at No. IL East Twenty-sixth
Street by the Standard Arch Com
pany.
To Nicolo that whistle always meant
but one thing-lunch. The wfntry
winds Monday and his labor had given
him very lusty appetite. so he looked
about for the. quickest method Of de-
scent. That was the hod hoist. which
was slowly passing his floor on its
way TO the basement. Nicolo jumped
in.
Going down." he shouted. and he
went-like a shot. faster than he had
ever gone before or ever wants to go
again.
Nicolo shut his eyes in terror. or he
would have seen floor after floor flash
by as his elevator shot downward.
His mad ride terminated abruptly
when the hoist struck a sand pile in
the basement with tremendous force.
and Nicolo began an upward journey
in the air OF about twenty feet
Then he came down again on the
sand and Immediately advertised his
safe arrival by yelling at the top of
his lungs. Other workmen picked him
up and when the ambulance came
from Bellevue it was found that the
ankle on which his weight rested when
the hoist struck was badly fractured.
Nicolo was placed in Ward 3 at the
hospital, where Il was said last night
ne was resting comfortably.

SENATE PROBING

WASHINGTON. d. r. snec,aI

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special.
oSnn1 ciOseo uVOrs lLe senate
special committee fnVestieatine
the Mexican revolution continued
hearings Tuesday. Upwards of
Loot pages "a Testimony nave
been taken, but IL is held as con-
hdentiai by the committee. of
which Senator William Alden
smith Is chairman. As n result
OF the testimony taken the COM
mttee IS convinced that neither
the MaderO government nor the
reNoiuuonists are willing or able
10 protect Americans. In those
regions where. the federal trooDs
are In control. the testimony
SHOWS, OutrageS upon Americans
are quite as frequent as where
the insurgents rule. One Illegal
act of the existing government
pointed out Is the imposition of
an export tax on all cattle shipped
out OF Mexico. This, IL is said
Is without authority of any law.
ana through IL many thousands
OF dollars have been collected
from American cattle raisers and
ranchers.
The fact that large sums of
money were raised in the United
states for the MaderO revolution
lists when they were endeayOring
10 overthrow the Diaz government
mas Deen conciuSfvely shown. but
no testimony has been gathered
tending to show that financial as
sistance Tor the insurgents now I'm
reoeliion has been obtained i'm the
United States.
Sherburne G.. Hopkins, of this
city, was n witness before the
fNnNnnnNfrNrn
committee something OF the ffnan-
cial backing of the Madero reyo-
lutiontsts, and admitted that
large sum was paid him for his
assistance.
Testimony before the commit
tee shows that the present reyo-
luuonists have raised their funds
almost entirely I'm Mexico from
Mexicans and through Ievies
naoe upon American mining
operators and ranchmen.
The Chamber OF Commerce OF
Chihuahua purchased $1,000. 600
worth of revolutionary bonds.
anc General OrOzco operated the
custom house at Juarez for a
number of months at a return
OF 100000 month to him.
ft also has been shown that.
Notwithstanding the neutrality
laws the revOiutiOnists are OBJ
tanning arms and other nluni-
tions In a roundabout way from
sources i'm the United States, and
that they have been purchasing
the arms used by the federal
troops in Mexico from those
troops. The testimony shows
that IL has been almost impossi-
fbre~for the Mexican Government
to recruit Its army. and that such
recruiting as has been had IS
ahade up of men from the jaiIs
and prisons. none of whom are
loyal to the government The
claim Is made that the revoIu-
tionists have $4,000 men i'm the
field fully armed.
