pens. II is not In the least likely that
il will have tie slightest effect upon
the revolutionis,s, who will continue
the fight against the present coterie IN
control at Mexico City. The possible
ity Of the elimination of Huerta Is con-
sidered grave news. rather than en-
couraging.
The information upon which the opin-
ion that Huerta is lettering Is based
is understood to come from an I'M
official but reliable source. The adj
ministration IL now anxious to obtain
the opinion of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson on the subject. Ambassador
Wilson arrived in Havana to-day and
is expected in Washington about three
days hence. Secretary Bryan has re-
quested Irgeon General Blue to expe-
dite the ambassadors passage through
quarantine at Tayana and Key West.
The ambassa .Jr has been in favor Of
the recognition OF the Huerta govern
ment. but II may be in view OF recent
developments that he has modified his
views.
Financial Situation Grave.
According to information received
from Mexico City a financial panic il
one Of t. possibilitie- OF the near fut
ure. The price Of silver has been go
ing down. and the situation is expect
ed shortly to become serious. The
change in exchange is considered sig
niicant and som what ominous.
So delicate is the Mexican situation
considered in official circles that The
White House issued the following
statement tonight TO clear up mis-
representations:
"On his attention being called TO the
following statements appearing In GER
tain afternoon newspapers % that the
President had stated that he would not
recognize the Huerta administration
and that II would not last year; (2J
that the President had stated that this
country would establish a protectorate
over all Central American countries TO
guard the Panama Canal-Secretary
Tumuty stated that there was abso-
lutely no foundation I'm truth for either
OF the above statements. and emphati
cally denied that the President had eX-
PRESSED any opinion to-day or at any
other time regarding the Huerta adj
mlnistration or its stability. or stated
any intention as TO its recognition"
Mail dispatches received at the State
Department to-day announce the incl

sequent TO the capture Of Durango on
June IL by the revolutionary forces
under General Urbina. In advising OF
his intention TO attack the town. he
asked that the foreign consular repre-

hopes that some other player than Will
liams will be chosen, so that they can
retain the pitcher. Griffith was bidder
for williams, but could not reach the
amount demanded, so he has taken a
chance on getting him on the draft.
Kosher. the catcher wanted from Prov
idence, had trial with Detroit a few
years ago. and is said to have developed.
owen, the Minneapolis catcher, was
with Chicago for several seasons.
The other players are youngsters. Gill
bert. the Milwaukee recruit, Is said to
be better hitter than Chappell, who
came from the same club. while Gleason.
who is with Baltimore, is said to be
promising youngster.
Niehaus is an infielder from Louisville
who has been highly recommended.
while Chestak. the Omaha catcher, Is
said to be the equal of Schalk, the SEN
sational backstop of the White Sox.
1t is, of course, not likely that Griffith
will secure any of these players, for in
most instances these same players may
be drafted by other clubs, in which
event the question of where they are to

FRANK HOUCH DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Famous Philadelphia Sporting
Editor Succumbs After
Brilliant Career.
Special pispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 49,
Frank l.. Hough. sporting editor Of the
Inquirer and one of the best known
sporting authorities in the country. died
this morning at his home, 6723 Quincy
street, Pelham, after a lingering illness
caused by general breakdown. He
is survived by widow and several chill
dren
Mr.. Hough, despite his severe illness,
continued writing until the last, and his
regular weekly comment, under the cap
ton, "The Old Sports Musings" APP
peared, as usual, in the Inquirer this
morning.
Although best known as baseball
and boxing writer, Mr.. Hough was an au-
thority OH various branches of sports.
He was also part owner Of the Phila-
delphia American League club from 1867
until last winter, when the shares held
by him and Samuel II. Jones were pur-
chased by Connie Mack.
Mr.. Hough was born in Southwark
about fifty-five years ago and was a
boy prodigy as a musician. His talent
early secured him a position on the
stage and for several years he played In
minstrel shows. Later he became a
printer and worked his way up until
he became foreman of a newspaper In
Washington, d. C. Later he returned
to this city. In 1896. when Harry Diddie-
book became manager of the St. Louis
Nationals, he succeeded Diddlebock as
sporting editor of the Inquirer.

On the basis of actual results 1t has al

where II landed this season.
BY the same reasoning Walter Johnson
is the most valuable man In the American
League this year, for principally through
him has the Washington club amounted tc
anything.

ball magnates, managers, players and
reporters began to arrive in this city
last night for the annual meeting Of the
national base ball commission, which

leagues Chairman August Hermann
and National League President Thomas
Lynch are here and Ban Johnson, pres
ident of the American League. arrived
this morning. Besides these three men,
bers of the commission nearly all the
presidents of the two major league CLUBS
are expected to be ON hand when the
drafts are made known.
Although the cream, oil the MINOR
leagues has been secured through pur-
chase by major league clubs, there are
many good players still available by the
drafting route, and these are being
drawn upon heavily. 1t is believed that
more drafts have been made by the
major leagues this year than at any
time since the national agreement went
into effect As the agreement rules pro-
vide that when two or more clubs draft

club owner or manager is certain as 70

National League directors Will take up
the case of the game between New YORK

President Lynch subsequently overiuled
the umpire and awarded the game to
Philadelphia. which was in the lead a,

this ruling. and the decision VII hnaily

said that Umpire Emslie had mailed his
report Of the fight between Manager Joe
Tinker of the Cincinnati club and
Maranville and Meyers of the Bostons
, which occurred on the field Saturday, to
the New York office. and that 1t had
ma ssed him on the way. Until he has

that all the players concerned VIII be

When the national commission decides
the drafts OF the major league. at its
annual meeting in Cincinnati today 1t
will find that the Washington club has
filed drafts for seven minor league play
ers.
Though Manager Griffith did not intend
to go into the drafting lottery to any
great extent, he came to the conclusion
that 1t might be to the clubs interest
to put in drafts for seven players. Three
Of these are catchers. two outfielders, one
infielder and one pitcher.
The most promising Of the lot, judged
on what scouts have reported, is Williams,
the Hawaiian pitcher, who has been do
ing such remarkable work for Sacra-
mento this season. All sorts of prices
were offered for this pitcher, but the
club turned them all down and finally
decided to take chance on the draft.
AS but one player can be drafted from
