it WAS not desired to make any dem
onstration that might be regarded by
the Constitutionalists rs directed to-
ward them.
The Carranza letter, however. CON
firmed the fears of many officials
that the rebels might side with HUI
erta. This was the one possibility
which had been discussed in admins
tration circles as the most serious
phase of the situation.
Action by Congress approving the
Presidents course in using the army
and navy in view of the situation he
had presented in his message, and the
receipt of details of fighting at Vera
Cruz we're the chief developments of
the day. Officials expressed them
selves as greatly pleased with the
promptness of Rear Admiral Fletch-
er's forces in taking possession of
Vera Cruz and restoring order there
Future steps are uncertain The
President has determined that his
course shall be gradual No orders
have been issued to seize the customs
house at Tampico. 1t is the purpose
OF the administration to keep order
IN Vera Cruz and await the full ef-
feet on Huerta of the first act OF re-
prisal by the American government.
There is every reason to believe
that the railroad running inland from
Vera Cruz for twenty miles, together
with a valuable trestle. will be policed
by American marines and blue jackets.
This section of the railroad is of SUI
preme importance should future de-
velopments require a movement on
Mexico City.
Volunteers for service in Mexico will
not be called for unless there is a
formal declaration of war by Congress
This was announced in the House By
Chairman Hay of the House military
affairs committee.
Movements of the navy were con-
tinued. The Navy Department feels
that sufficient force of marines is
on the way not only to take care of
the situation at Vera Cruz, but OF
Tampico too, if the order is given for
the seizure of the customs house
there.
At 3:15 a. m. the Navy Department
issued the following:
Official list of casualties of Amer
leans at Vera Cruz yesterday. which is
in addition to the four dead and twen.
ty injured recorded Tuesday:
Dead.

"A dispatch from Rear Admiral
Badger received at 8: 40 a. m, reports
that the flag Of truce was repeatedly
violated by the Mexican Federals. It
adds that there has been little firing

Awarded to Institute Athletes

A silver loving-cup significant of
the Diocesan Union track and field
championship of last summer was
last night formally presented to the
Young Mems Catholic Association at
Institute Hall, rs New street
The awarding of the cup has been
held up since the meet by a contro-
versy over the eligibility of some of
the competing athletes. The Diocesan
Union delegates finally threshed the
matter out, and tho cup was given to
the Institutes.
The presentation was made by John
u. DUR, one of the Institutes repre-
sentatives in the union. The success
of the Institute in securing the prize
he said, was due in q large measure
to Thomas e. Knowles, the Institute
member of the field day committee
The trophy was added to the scores of
prizes already in the Institutes col
lection.
Another prize in the shape of
trophy is expected to come to Insti-
tute in time for the celebration of the
sixtieth anniversary of the clubs
founding, next June. This is the first
prize in the pool tournament. The
Institute team is far understanding the
other clubs, having already won nine
games without meeting defeat.

TRIP WAS A BIG SUCCESS

Billy Zimmerman, who covers left
field for the Tigers. arrived in this
city yesterday from Porto Rico, where
he INDUCED in three weeks of pre-
liminary training with a combina-
ton of baseball players, under the
management of Dave DriscolL The
trip to sthe West Indies was surely n

is in the pink of condition at the
present time, and could jump into a
regular game without notice. Bill left
Newark Unexpectedly, as was told in
the Evening Star, when the first van
guard of Tigers left for the training
camp, at Columbus, Ga, February 2l
last. 1t was said that Charles Eb-
bets, ir., head of the local club. was
somewhat peeved on hearing. of the
p. o. MS disappearance, but sooner
than lose a nifty bank roll, Jimmy de
cided that the training at Porto Rico
| would benefit him more than weeks
of work in Georgia.
Zimmerman was the star of the
team in the islands, according to
Manager Dave Driscoll. He hit away
over the 300 mark and fielded in eX-
cellent fashion Thus, Manager
Harry Smith, of the Bengals, need
not worry on the condition of his star
| left gardener. Zimmerman win prob
ably leave for Columbus tomorrow.
In talking over the experiences of
| the trip Manager Driscoll stated that
| it was u success in every way. The
team played twelve contests, winning
seven and losing FIVE. The people in
| Porto Rico displayed more enthusi-
| asm over the American national pas
time this season than last, and they
turned out in record numbers at each
game. Driscolrs nine played the ma
| jority Of it's games at Ponce, where
one of the finest baseball diamonds
in the world is laid out. The teams
| in Porto Rico have also improved
wonderfully, as can be judged by tho
record they made against the players
| from tho States. Last year Driscoll
took a team to the island which won
thirteen games and lost one.
Following is a list of the men who
accompanied Driscoll this year: Will

Thirty candidates reported for
spring football practise on Franklin
Field yesterday at Philadelphia in
response to the call issued by Cap
tain Journeay. Several members Of
the 1913 varsity eleven were on hand,
though the majority of the squad
consisted of members of last sea-
sons freshman and scrub teams.
There were many big men who look
like excellent material. 1t is eX-
pected that within a few days over
fifty men will be practising daily.
Coach Brooke plans to devote most
of the work in the spring practise
to kicking, to developing speed in the
men and to work on the charging
machine. He is going to pay especial
attention to Dorizas, the giant Greek
wrestler, who is candidate for the
team. Dorizas never has played foot
ball, but he is so remarkably active
and intelligent that Brooke thinks he
will be able to make a f1rst-class
guard out of him. The days practise
was directed by Coach Brooke, Cap

ernoon, IL you stick him in the box
That is one of Harry Smiths famous
recipes for handiing a pitching staff,
which he did more cleverly than any
other manager in the league last
year Harry does not believe in fore
ing man to work if he has a sore
arm, but now and then the best of
fingers get lazy. Wyatt Lee. of the
Tigers, is noted for his willingness
to respond to a call for help at any
time, and for this reason some mana
gers might overwork a twirier like
Lee, while other pitchers, in shape
to perform, go stale through laziness
and their anxiety to shirk.

Experience shows.

Players like Ducky Holmes, who
have performed in different towns
around the circuit, realize what it is
to be in a town where the fans are
always pulling for player and never
hop on man for some imaginary
grievance. 1t makes a ball player
ten times better when he knows the
fans are all with him. on the road a
team does not expect to get applause
and 1t looks for abuse. Players do
not mind knocking away from
home. but when the home fans start
harping, it is all Off A sample of
happening ball players is shown in
the case of Big Butch Schmidt, whom
Baltimore fans detested, it would
seem, for every move he made was
criticized. Yet, George Stallings de-
clared last year that Schmidt, in his
opinion, was entitled to be ranked as
the best man in the International cir
cult.
Now. Mr.. Newark fan, you know
how the Tigers pass on your qualifi-
cations as rooters.

Clarke Recommends New Bat.

Fred Clarke, Pittsburgh manager
who takes "a friendly interest in
Harry Smith and his Tigers. has rec
commended a new "warm-up' bat. 1t
is a stout piece of timber thrice as
thick as the ordinary pole. Instead of
swinging two or three bats the man
waiting for his turn at the plate
swings the warm-up bat and then
discards it for his own hitting furni-
ture. The advantage of this stick is
that 1t is easier to handle and play
ers do not crab at one another for
using bats belonging to other men,
bers of the team on such occasions.
