Union Association Has Lit
tie Chance According to
Sporting Writer.

The Union association Is rapidly
drifting onto the shoals of baseball
and its finish is in sight, according
to the prediction of Charles w. Lane,
q we'll known sporting authority, in
an article bearing his name in the cur
rent issue Of the Sporting News. The
article Is as follows:
"The Union association, drifting
aimlessly since the death Of its leader,
William H. Lucas, its annual meeting
indefinitely postponed, no plans ap-
parently for next season, showed life
enough to get up and howl until the
welkin rang when 1t got the news
from Milwaukee that the class D SAL
AIRY limit had been put at $1,000. Now
the Union association is class D. in
population, but population in Montana
Is not what 1t is In Massachusetts,,
as any one knows who has travelled
west Where they carefully count the
pennies down east, they throw away
the, dollars out west. The basis of
money values Is entirely different and
1t seems the national association
Hshould have realized that no hard
and fast rule can be enacted.
Can Blame Self.
However, the Union association
can blame itself in large measure.
Had there been anybody connected
with 1t with sufficient interest in its
welfare to attend the Milwaukee meet
ing and explain the situation the is
sue might have been referred back to
the Union association or some indulg-
ence been granted, as in the case of
the Northwestern league
Action Disastrous.
Last seasons limit was placed al
1850, and 1t was played at least to
the limit by every club and If the
truth is told exceeded by more than
one. IT can not be denied that the
new limit, If the Union association
does not secure some concession, will
mean trouble in every town, perha ps

Washington, ID. c., July 13.--Tf con-

FFTY-FWE TO TWENTy-E|GHT
BY Vote OF Almost Two to One, Lor-
inner Loses Seat in Upper Branch
of Congress-Never Had Seat Le-
gaIy.

Washington, ID. c., July 13.-By a
vote of fifty-five to twenty-eight, the
senate today unseated Lorimer and
held his election invalid
The end of the long fight to ouSt
Lorimer came after six days of pro-
tracted debate, in which the senator
himself occupied the floor for three
sessions. He finished his impass.or-
ed appeal at 1;30 this afternoon.
At one point, he declared that the
proceedings against him We're con-
Quoted by conspiracy. IF all inc
people knew the truth, they'd din e

country he shouted "and they viii
know it II God spares me. They

The final vote was on the resoi l.
tion offered by Senator Lea, cary
ing as the senate's verdict that cor
rupt methods were employed in the
election by the Illinois legislature in
1910.
When the vote was announced to
Lorimer, he walked slowly toward
the cloak room. Senate Smoot threw
one arm over his shoulder. Thus he
passed out of the records and has
never officially held seat in
the United States senate. Among
those who voted to GUST Lorimer
were Reed and Stone of Missouri,
Bristow and Curtis of Kansas and
Gore of Oklahoma. Senator Owen of
Oklahoma was paired in favor of the
resolution.

Standing d the cluhs

In setting out some OF the feat
uras Of the opening day the most
important one Of the day was
nearly overlooked. This was the
home run made by "Vic" Willis.
While his speciality was to win
games by good work in the box.
Vic" admits to remembering one
other home run that he made pre-
vious to the one last Saturday. This
feat was accomplished according to
the popular twirler in Cincinnati,
back in the -, the time is hardly
important anyway in this story,
but it was probably late in the nine
teenth century. 1t seems that on
this particular day for some reason
a section of the fence surrounding
the baseball park was down. The
ball that Willis hit evidently got
of. its proper course. 1t went
through the hole in the fence and as
far as is known never was found,
but "Vic' went the circuit and
crossed the plate amid great APP
plause.
While this story is no doubt sub
stantially true, there may be a
slight variance in some Of the unim-
portant details as it was told to the
reporter partly by Mr. Willis him
self. who seems to be very proud
Of the feat and justly 50, and part

Special Csb's to The Washington Ha.M.

which they have stirred up In that little
corner of the Emerald Isle They op-
pose homerule principally-nay, entirely

In the House Of Commons We have wit
messed none Of the stirring scenes, heard
none Of the violent language, which
many of the bland and child-iike fol-
lowers Of anti-home rule leaders had ex.
pected.

MEXICAN REBELS

That the Federal forces in Southern
and Central Mexico are rapidly dispers-
ing the insurrectos and crushing the -
volts which have been smoldsring in that
section for the last eighteen months was
indicated in consular and diplomatic dis
patches to the State Department yester-
day.
Cuernavaca reported severe fighting for
the last three days, but added that the
Madertst forces had been entirely sue
cessful. However. there appears to be
an increase Of rebel activities in the
State Of Mexico. and revolutionists also
are reported to have appeared near the
line Of the Tehauntepec Railroad. near
Salina Cruz and Minatiplan. It In prob
able that Federal troops will be dis
patched to these sections as soon a. pos
sible.
The American Embassy at Mexico City
also informed tho State Department that
the report Of the execution Of thirty
eight rebels at Saltillo IN untrue. and
that the Mexican government intends to
execute only the leaders Of the revolu-
ton and to parole the other partici-
pants.
