Ing overtime, the Philadelphia Athletics
will arrive for three days of weary
combat with the Clibmers. The former
of the world have one vic
tory to their credit already over the
Boston Red Sox. To be sure, it was
just a lucky nosing out in slugging
affair. but It shows that the mackncn
must be reckoned with from the jump
this season.
Only three more games are scheduled
after today for the Florida avenue

on giving Chance a regal welcome.
Three Games Next Week.
However, three days next week should
give the Capital City bugs all the base
bau they need in that time. Connie
Mack's team looks in tip-tUp condi-
ton. With the Griffmen going at n
fast clip, these three struggles are sure
to have some bearing on the early
standing of the teams in the struggle
for the 1913 gonfalon.
1t Is generally admitted that the bat
tie this year is among Boston. wash
ington and Philadelphia. Not one can
afford to drop games to the other. Each
will strive to the utmost to clean up
its Eastern opponents and get the pole
in the race. The iump may prove val
liable later in the season.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, April i2-William
Blackwood. secretary of the Cleveland
baseball club, suffering from mild at
tack of smallpox. is reported much bet
ter today and on this account President
somers Is abstaining from having all
his players vaccinated.
He does not wish to take this method
unless compelled to. as number of
the athletes will have to stay out Of the

operation. Today the Maps were ex-
amined by a physinian for signs of the
dread scourge, but they all passed the
expert with flying colors.
Secretary Blackwood was, taken sick
on his way home from Pensacola. Fla,

fear in President Nayin's heart that

Hereafter Cobb will have all his privi-
Ieges cut or and will have to obey rules
enforced on all the other members of
the club. (
In an interview given out yesterday
Cobb announced that 1t was up to
President Navin to send an amba ssador
to talk matters over with him, in other
words, to coax him to sign a contract

That talk of sending a man to see

when Crawford. who never gave the
club a bit of trouble in ten years until
this spring, comes to the office to sign,
guess Cobb can. 1t would be unfair
to insist on Crawford. Dubuc and Stan

even a star of Cobb's magnitude ought
to be required to observe the rules OF
the game Mathewson, Wagner, Walsh,

as do all other members Of the team.

MEXICAN VOLCANO
IS IN ERUPTION
Villagers Flee From Rain OF
Sand From Crater of
C0Iima.

GCADALAJARA, Mexico. January 81.
The volcano of Colima broke into vio-
lent eruption last night. Thousands Of
people are fleeing from the villages
and ranches in the vicinity. 1t is be-
lieved that there has been some loss OF
life in the remoter settlements.
Hundreds of refugees arrived in this
city this morning on a train composed OF
box cars. which had been picked up on a
siding at a nearby village. The fleeing
people had found it necessary to shovel
away a quantity of volcanic sand before
for many miles along the way here the
train had to be STOPPED frequently to
clear the track of debris.
Little Lava Flows.
Very little lava was elected from the
crater. which, however. emitted vast
quantities of smoke and sand, while suf-
locating gases formed an unusual feature
of the eruption. A gale was blowing
from the northwest. and this probably
saved many of the inhabitants of the sur
rounding districts, as 1t caused the fly
ing sand and deadly gases to pass over
their heads.
The volcano decreased during the
night, but volcanic dust is now settling
on the house roofs and the streets of
this city.
