few minutes late and his delay in ar
irving gave rise to the rumor that
he, too, had been instructed to absent
himself.
At least two diplomats did not see

ample OF the United States. The
, charges of Cuba mad Brazil were re-
minded earlier in the day that their
governments had not recognized that
of Huerta and suggested that they re-
main away.
Staff Wears Sidearms
A technical violation of the law
created comment General Huerta' 5
staff filed in wearing sidearms. 1t is
specifically provided that no armed
soldier shall appear on the floor Of
the house and custom has ordained
that officers appearing in uniforms
must do so with empty scabbards.
But the swords in evidence at the
sides of the members of General
Huerta's staff appeared to empha-
size the fact that this is a military
administration. Outside the building
throughout the session a strong force
OF soldiers guarded all the ap
proaches; patrols rode the streets
for sevral blocks around and still
other troops were stationed in little
detachments further out
Congress Aid Pledged
In his reply to the message. the
president of the chamber, Senior Tam
iriz, assured General Huerta of the
cooperation of congress-
"lf ever should reign in congress
patriotic IDEAL" he said in these
circumstances, it ought to predomi-
nate as never before and above all
other sentiments"
To the congress he said:
without doubt. upon your work
depends largely that the country,
with the aid of its good sons. should
make a supreme effort, in order not
to fall in the ruin and humiliation
which threatens it, On this account
you come here animated by the pur-
est patriotism, prepared to lay aside
ambitions, personal interests and
even rancor, in order to work unit
edly for supreme ideal-the preser-
vation of our nationality"

MEXICO CITY, Nov 21.-His
lace showing none of that whim sica
humor which at times characterizes
him. President Huerta appeared this
evening before the new Mexican con-
gress and read his message. Few
Mexican presidents have read at the
formal opening sessions of congress
So short message and confined
themselves SO entirely to one sub
jet. 1t was mostly an explanation
or his action in dissolving the pre-
yious congress, most of the members
of which are still in jail. The senate
and chamber of deputies met in joint
session and congress was formally
declared convened at $50 p. m
President Huerta came to the con-
eress through lines of troops and the
small crowds which gathered were
not demonstrative.
There were no extraneous frills to
the session. 1t was more in the ma
the president and the men converted
into law makers by the recent So
called elections. The message Gen
eral Huerta bore to them was i'll its
essence an admonition. The incident
he related to them of the dissolution
Of the previous congress was one by
which il was intimated they might
be guided in their conduct as con-
gressinen.
Catholic Senators Absent
The reply OF the speaker, Eduard,
Tamariz. was brief. Not all the con-
giessmen were present. Twenty
seven, the majority of whom were OF
the Catholic party, failed to put n
an appearance. 1t had been announc
ed that the Catholic members had
held meeting and decided not to
participate in the session. That gave
rise to the baseless rumor that
Speaker Tamariz would not preside,
as he is member of that party.
General Huerta drove from the pal
ace to the chamber through files of
soldiers most OF whom were detailed
from the crack Twenty-ninth req
ment which participated in the coup
d'etat at the palace in February.
He entered the building while the
bands were playing the national air.
Little Pomp Shown
Acknowledging the plaudits and
vivas of tine congressman and spec
tators as he moved dowon the aisle
by series of military salutes, in
stead of the grave bows which char
acterized his old chief, Porfirio Diaz.
General Huerta looked stern figure.
Like the congressman he was in ev-
ening clothes. the only touch of rank
being the tricolor ribbon across his
breast. In half circle behind him
on the platform sat his staff, resplen-
dent in gold lace and full dress uni
form and grouped just below him on

It had been agreed to call the game
at 5 o'clock, and, as it was not start
ed until 3:45, EVers gave directions
to stall.
A horde of fans gathered around
the Office of President Murphy after
Eason had forfeited the game, de-
manded their money back, called him
a robber and cheered for President
Comiskey of the White Sox. What
that had to do with the case we
can't see. 1t would have been just
as reasonable for the fans to have
cheeTed the president of the Keokuk
team of the Central Association.
Murphy hires Evers to run the
team on the ball field and is respon-
sible for his managers actions only
as far as the usual relation between
employer and employee. c. Webb
couldn't very well dash out on the
diamond and order John to play ball.
He would have been chased by the
jumps. Murphy has his faults, but it
is not fair to blame him for yester-
days fiascO.
The fans as whole admire a game
loser and will stick with him to the
finish. They hate a gutter. What
ever verdict they pass should be on
Evers. John tried some of his inside
stuff, so-caIIed, and Overreached him
self.
In the first game the Cubs had
soft time, George Pierce holding the
Cards safe while his fellows pounded
Harmon freely and were dealt many
passes. They did their swatting in
punches and found scoring easy aft
er the fourth frame. Evers poled a
triple and two singles, Leach three
singles, and Phelan and Bresnahan
two apiece.
On their last trip East the Cubs
won four games and lost eleven. This
time the result should be more even.
The West Side pitchers are in good
q II l., =
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-07

they had a chance to heave out run
ners and gave such a rotten deal that
there was nothing for Umpire EasOn
to do but give the Cards the verdict.
What the fans thought of the per-
Torrance was shown when they
gathered around Eason after the
game, slapped him on the back and
shook his hand in cOngratUlatiOn for
having the nerve to forfeit a game
in the face of a home crowd of 12,-
900 people. Some of the rabid bugs,
who want victory at any cost, claim
ed the tactics employed by Evers was
baseball. Not on your life. Baseball
is sport; good, clean sport, and the
stuff pulled yesterday was not sport.
All the blame must go to EVers.
1t was under his orders and at his
command that the Cub players stall
ed. There was nothing for them to
do but obey. Mitchell and Corriden
did manage to catch a couple Of flies
they couldn't dodge, but Safer plant
ed himself directly under a foul close
to the stand and then ducked, the
ball almost hitting him in the back as
he stopped. 1t was a weak attempt
at staIling and the intent was pal
pable. If the Cubs had shown any
cleVerness in trying to string out the
game to avoid defeat there might
have been some chance to get away
with it. The majority of their work
was on a par with that one play of
Saier's. Twice Evers held the ball
when he had a chance to retire run
ners, the second time Gaping the
climax and causing Eason to declare
the game forfeited. Archer threw to
center field, Mitchell let f1uke two

Crawford looked at Haggerty, who sud

end of his cigar he saw the merry,
winking shoe buttons. The cigar went

open window.

friends a long time, Heiny, and | want you
to tell me what to do. I've got three thousand
dollars in the bank here, and it S drawing only
three per cent interest. What can do with
the money to get a little more for it,"
"Three per cent, Fritz? Why, you ought
to get three and half at least, Gregg re-
piled. @You can get three and half in my
bank in the city. Why don't you put it in
there? It's as safe as can be. III deposit it if
you'd like me to-"
"Sure, Heiny, that's better than three
was the prompt response. "Come in this
afternoon and I'll have it all ready for you.
Yes, sure, three and half is better. You're
a good boy, Heiny. Come in and we'll fix it
up"
1t was late in the afternoon, when he was
on his way to the hotel, that Gregg stopped
at Fritz's Again the old German drew him
to the secluded part of the store, and there
took from the pocket of his big, loose coat
roll of bills which looked to Gregg like
hundred dollars worth of stair carpet"
"Here it is" said Fritz. "Now put it in
your bank"
Gregg looked from roll to him in amaze
ment. "What in the worlds that? don't
want that; give me check"
mo, Heiny, no check The protest was
vehement. "If l give you that the bank
and that's nobody's business but nine No,
you take the money, just SO, Heiny.'
"But I'm not going back to the city until
tonight. What1l do with it? The banks
will all be closed by the time | get in;
they'r all closed now, Fritz"
Il don't know; but here's the money"
Fritz laid it with finality upon the desk. Il
can't put it back in the bank now, and
can't leave it here, that's sure; SO you take
it, Boy. Put it in the bank the next time it
opens
Despite his protests. Gregg was forced to
accept the amazing roll of greenbacks, as
Fritz seemed on the point OF being NOR
tally offended by refusal. The new Gus
todian insisted upon counting it, an opera
ton that Fritz declared to be entirely un-
necessary, as he was sure there were three
thousand dollars there.
"Let's count it, anyway" Gregg persisted,

ruminatively. "You stick it into the post
yes, see. But what YOU re really trying to
do is stick me with it, isn't it? No, Dutch,
no stick lamps today"
Now was it the merry villagers oppor
tunity to make repayment for the chairs,
stove, and other comforts they were enjoying
on the house, and they did it right gener
ously, with loud laughter and knee slapping.
But Gregg was not in the least dlscon-
certed. He put away the lamp leisurely; at
the door he paused. "Goodby, SAM" he
said. 3I'll bet you that as soon as I'm gone
you'll give all of them chew of tobacco for
laughing at your bum joke"
FROM Heathton, Gregg drove a pitching,
tossing three mile journey to Goodman,
thence two miles to Sparta, and afterward
down the other side of the ridge to Torrey
City for dinner. He sang his lamp and his
other wares in many keys and with all
sorts of variations and modulations, and in
every instance he wrote tune OF profit IN

him back again at Eltonvllle, his seven
towns covered, and we'll covered.
