it this year by keeping .Snodgrass

Good hard hitters and good base
runners make a rare combination.
Mack has them, although his team
does not rank with the Giants on the
paths.
Mack sees far in advance. He is
uncanny in this. No one can see
signs of blowing up in pitcher SEEM
ingly well within himself quicker than
Connie, and no one will let a pitcher
remain right up to the breaking point
to get all the good out of him like
this same keen Connie Mack.
Mack is the iceberg of baseball. He

good, once his boys start one of their
fierce batting rallies.
This was shown two years ago
when Matty and Marquard were beat

victory over defeat is the thickness of
one base hit!
And neither pitcher nor batter can
tell just WHEN that base hit will

Washington, Dec 3.-After "a dis
eussion into which Republican Leader
Mann injected the Mexican situation.
The house today passed the Hay army
bill which, in various forms had been
talked of at the capitol for many
years. The bill. which now goes to
the senate. would put war volunteer
forces on an equal footing with the
regular army II would provide that
whenever In the presidents judgment
war Is imminent, or actually exists,
he may organize volunteers regi-
ments for war purposes. The men.
instead of enlisting for a short period,
as In the past wars. would enlist for
the war. The president would ap-
point an the officers not more than
-four regular officers to be- appointed
TO any one volunteer regiment The
volunteer force thus would supple
ment the existing national guard or
militia, with which the bin would not
interfere.
ReprescntatiXe Mann i'm speakinG
Of the Mexican situation, said that
Of course Chairman Hay Of the mill
tary committee. the administration.
and all others connected with the
bin, would vigorously deny that the
measure was presented now because
the government was preparing for
q war with Mexico; he recalled that
just before the Spanish American
war the appropriations committee
presented a bin 10 put S50,000,000 in
President McKinley's hands.
"T took q minute then to say"
added Mr. Mann, that at least there
was one man I'm the house who was
not attempting to deceive himself
while all the others had said that this
was not In expectation of war. but TO
prevent war ! fear that the same
situation arises now
81 should greatly regret war with
Mexico" he continued ~ have no
complaint to make of the presidents
attitude in his dealings with Mexico,
although l confess ] can see no end
tc the road which he is now pursu-
ing, He said yesterday that tho
Huerta government in Mexico would
fall soon. Very likely. / think any
government in Mexico which does no.

eminent will not last a great lengtn
of time, and / doubt whether any
government in Mexico, constituted ny

government
Mr.. Mann commented upon the
fact that Chairman Hay had pressed

Special Agent Taylor, while not com
mitting the administration to the re-
stricted policy of prosecutions Of
Mann act violations, is said to have
made it plain in conversations with
federal officers that personally he be-
leved the Mann act had been too rig
idly construed and that many actions
brought under it were without real
merit
Further evidence of chance in
policy toward white slave prosecutions
was contained in District Attorney AL
lens statement that 1t was his opinion
the wholesale prosecutions under the
act would cease for the present, at
least, and that the department Of JUS
tce would confine itself to cases in

have been for transporting women
