BILL TEMPLE CANNED
 BY HARTFORD MANAGER

Deacon Bill Temple is no longer a member of the Hartford pitching staff. The hurler drew his release yesterday morning and blew for parts unknown, but as Pittsf1eId seems to- furnish asylum for all cast adrift in the circuit Bill may connect with the EIectrics. Temple didn't show anything since Joining the Senators He was given his last chance at Wa terbury and failed to produce suffici- ent stuff to keep him on the roster. Bill has had his ups and downs fin this circuit, and was as good as the best when going right He was se- cured by Hartford from HOlyoke a. few weeks ago. Temple was with the Springfield Ponies when they won the Connecticut league cham pionship in 1911. Previous to that time all his baseball activities were confined to the Pacific Coast league. Hartford still has a string of four pitchers. Geist, Wilson. Powers and Parker. but it is probable that another one will be signed within short time.

he threw just the same and Ta1ckey went to third. In an effort to get him, Miller heaved the ball high over Fin negan's head, Tuckey scoring and Stow taking third, where he was left when McCarthy and Bridges figured in the double play.
 Bridgeport obtained it's fourth tally in the sixth. McGamwen gave the ball a ridas5or a, safe one, and on the hit and-run signal, F1anagan punched one safely through Lfndberg's position as the shortfie1der went over to cover second. Flanagan was forced at sec ond by Russell, but Phillips hit one at Barrenkaxnp. who defIected the ball so that Iindberg could hardly get his hand on 1t and McGamweu scored:

 Last season Joe Wood of thesBoston Red Six managed to tie Walter John sons consecutive victory mark by scoring 16 straight. He fell down when he tried to beat it. This spring Fred Falkenberg of Cleveland seem ed destined to pass Johnson's record of ten straight, but like Wood he fail- ed, and the chances are that the rec ord will not be beaten this season Falkenberg and Johnson have been the only pitchers in the American league this season to show consistent and superior form. Joe Wood has not been going we'll, while none of the other high grade twirIers has shown as good form as last season. So that the chances are not one of them will be able to win ten straight in a row during the remainder of the sea- son, unless Johnson should repeat and duplicate his own record. which is not at all unlikely.
 Formal announcement has been made of the resignation of Lloyd Rickrat, secretary of the St. Louis Americans. It is understood that Hiram Mason, a nephew of President Hedges will succeed Rickart.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS
CONFIRM REPORTS OF
CABINET SITUATION
CONTINUED From Page One,


anteoedents did net comport with the
direction of the war establishment. An
other definite offer of a cabinet portfolio
disclosed was that to Mayor Baker of
Cleveland. which also was declined be-
cause of public interests Mr.. Baker has
at Cleveland, 1t also was reported that
Edgar II. Farrar of New Orleans, former
president of the American Bar association
was being considered in connection with
the Attorney Generalship.
Aside from these developments of the
day We're largely negative, showing how
the field had been narrowed by the ex-
clusion of all hold-over possibilities from
the present cabinet; also the conclusion
that there would be no names drawn
from the Senate or House of Repre-
sentatives other than that of Mr.. Bur
leson.
The remaining cabinet names are now
said to be settled, but the places each Is
to occupy still remains open to change.
These cover the Attorney Generalship,
Secretary of Interior, Secretary of Com
merce and Labor and Secretary of Agri-
culture 1t is probable also that the posi-
tion of Secretary of Labor will be ere
ated within the next few days, the Sen
ate having passed the House bill, so that
Mr.. Wilson will have an additional cabi-
net place to fill. The personnel of these
remaining places is not disclosed, but gos-
sip was active today including Mr.. Bran
deis in the list, probably as Secretary
Of Commerce and Labor.

MONEY TRUST REPORT
MAY BE DELAYED
Unexpected Differences of OpiI.icn
Develop

Washington, February 26.-Unex-
peeted differences of opinion arising
in the House money trust committee
tonight threatened to delay presenta-
tion of the committees report to the
House possibly until Saturday. The
committee sat far into the night pom
dering over the report framed by Sam
uel Untermyer, its counsel.
on many of the propositions adj
vanced by Mr.. Untermyer the commit
tees opinion was divided and several
of his recommendation provoked long
discussion. The committee had hoped
to complete consideration of the re-
port tonight but it became apparent
that several points involved could not
be settled without extended argument
and several members of the COMMITTEES
insisted upon substantial changes in
conclusions reached by Mr.. untermyer
and in remedial legislation he proposed.
NJ Untermyer and Chairman Pujo
had expected that Mr.. untermyer's re-
port would be accepted with but little
discussion and practically no amend
ments but the committee showed a de-
cided inclination to differ with Mr.. I'm
termyer.
Several bills proposed by Mr.. I'M
termyer were laid before tho commit
tee and they. too. were subjected to
an exceedingly critical analysis. IL
was believed they would be materially
altered before being included in the
committees report.

properties in Mexico. 1t is composed of

banks and ranches controlled by the many
sons of the elder Francisco l. Madero.
