Officials Believe Statement of Pro-
visiOnal President Means That He
Will Not Participate.
Washington, Sept. 21.-Administra-
ton officials here regarded the state
ment made today by President Huerta
to newspaper mon in Mexico that
1t would be an anomaly for the
government to have a candidate" as
tantamOunt to a declaration that he
would not be a candidate in the COM
ing elections.
The United States has taken the
position ever since the second GambOa
note was received by John Lind that
Huerta had eliminated himself from
the presidential race, but today dis
patches admittedly brought to ad-
ministr&tion officials the first con-
crete expression of his intention.
The tenor of Provisional President
Huerta's remarks that his govern.
ment would maintain an attitude Of
absolute impartiality" was interpret
ed by many officials as against COM
pliance, morally at least, in the pro-
pOsals made by John Lind for the
elimination of Huerta and the holding
of a fair election.

DOC" Daley had been promising
the fans and his friends one OF the
best games OF long time when his
pickup team and the Pittsburgh Col

yesterday, and DOCS" predictions
and expectations were well fulfilled.
The game was highly Interesting
throughout although for ii" first part
OF the game II looked as though the
local lads had tat better OF tie game.
In the ninth, Kendall, the ;,cl, pitch.

DALEY himself then went int the box
and walked enough men to fiji the

and SOME clever fielding ne got GU, OF

to the third sack and then on an err.

There was a good sized crowd pres,

fans being just right, while the great
breeze which was blowing in the
stand kept everybody comfortable.
The local men played an excellent
game. and no doubt other contests will
