MR.. WILSON'S MEXICAN SUCCESS.

MR.. WILSON'S MEXICAN SUCCESS.
NO fish is fried till It IT out OF the
water. Whether President Wilson has
successfully conducted his Mexican
policy could not now be decided.
though Huerta should be out Of his
power and out OF his country. Mexico
will be long problem in the solving"
the Washington Times SAYS.
But IL Is not too early 10 say that. so
far as President Wilson has gone with
his Mexican policy. he has gone with
amazing ease. He has COMPOUNDED the
jingoes, who were cocksure that he
couldn't be impolite with Huerta. much
less make threats against him, with
out driving US into war. American,
English. German and French residents
in Mexico, supposed TO have the very
best Judgment about the national tenn
per there, he has left speechless with
surprise. The chancellaries OF Europe
he has converted from dissenters and
scoffers into ratifers and admirers.
Nobody out of Mexico ever doubted
that President Wilson could force
Huerta 10 his will IL he were resolved
TO do so. In the beginning. pretty near
ly everybody did doubt that he could
ever do so without war.
But there has been no storm outside
OF Mexico; scarcely any excitement.
Mexico itself waits for Mr.. Wilson 10
put Huerta out. IL is now clear TO
everybody that Mr.. Wilson can put
Huerta out-if he wished TO use Car
ranza-without sending a single Amer
fcan sOIdier across the border
No man can safely predict what will
come out OF a tense Latin-American
situation at any time. But il isn't
prophecy. it's a statement OF hard fact,
that from the day he went into the
White house and took up his policy
against Huerts, President Wilson has
travelled every foot OF his Mexican
road brilliantly.

Two souls had gone to rest In
the fateful, not to say fatal, third,
when Whitley Hensling awaited a
hoist to right field. Jules Papa
pitched his tents under the sphere
and like the famous colored
clergyman who once went in
search of game and encountered
a member Of the brnin family,
cast his eyes to the skies.
He encountered the dazzling
orbs of Old Sol, who speared him
with swift lance of light. Jew

hang. The ball did not, but
dropped to the ground instead.

Ironman. The former wealthy
citizen of Spokane. known as Ten
Million, who left his tepee here to
join the Bengals. brought Joy to
the heart OF Mac by biting the
marble to the aforesaid garden.
One count chalaed down to the
credit of the Cats. Mr.. Fries dit
toed with another blow to Pappa'S
territory, sending Ten to third.
He burgled second, and Holder
man uncorked another Of those
raps to starboard. Million trotted
over the disk.
Holderman carelessly and neg
ligently ran off of angle A, and
while the Spokane infield was
carelessly and negligently putting
the pill onto his person, or try
ing to, Fries breezed in with the
final run. Then Holdy allowed
himself to be murdered.
All this while Mike Lynch's
band of merry sconce-scalpers had
been having no more difficulty
solving Kauf's benders than a
young man trying to propose to
his sweetheart. Kaufman used a
very effective hurl, popularity
known as the tired" ball-be-
cause it takes it so long to reach

Too much inexperience spelled the
defeat of Strachan and Griffin,
who were easily beaten by Maur-
ice Mclaughlin and T. G. Bundy

never in the slightest danger.
Strachan and Griffin played a
strong, steady game, but lacked

have the same old curves and
speed.
The old trick of asking waivers
upon q player had, in the hope
of bringing him to a realization
of his failure, was resorted to in
vain. Then Reulbach was traded
for Stack, and right away both
showed a reversal OF form, and
pitched splendid ball.
Stack BROKE in as a Cub with
two-hit game which made MUIR
ply grin and probably caused Eb-
belts to gnash his teeth: 1t Ia
easy to imagine the feelings of
each. Then Reulbach came along
with a three hit victory for
Brooklyn and the smile and
frown changed habitation.
Two magnates feel satisfied,
two managers realize their pitch
ing departments are strengthened
and two pitchers are effective
where they were useless. so every
one Is happy.
The answer seems to be that
little change once in while is
good thing for the best of men.
