1t was work, not gain, that was the
starting motive in his career, and the
labor loved because he aimed at a
high standard. He was a color special

fects had become the fashion.
A few portraits, perhaps twice a
year color scene, but the orders few
and far between, and the cheeks of
the handsome, graceful youth be-
came wan, the old fire of genius left
his eyes. With poverty bringing the
threadbare garb, pride drove him to
seclusion. He became isolated and
forgotten.
If his two former artist associates
had seen him at the hour when amid
luxury and Incidence they discussed
him, they would have probably pitied
this piece of poor driftwood.
In the remotest corner and small
est room of an old, dilapidated central
building, Paul Willis sat working with
pencil and brush.
1t was a sadly forlorn place, the
windows grimed, the floor destitute of
carpet or rug. Light and heat were
wretched. Upon a table beside the
easel was a loaf of Immediately ex-

indescribable attraction, the coloring

Evers and Meanwhile, Two of Games Best Stars,
Make. Boston Braves Contenders for National FLAG
tBy Hugh S. Fullerton.)

Wy f1uSn ,. fulleI1on.)
Analyze the Boston Braves. Why
are they winning?
You will reply: Tyler. Rudolph,
James. sometimes Crutcher and Hess.
Yes, but pitchers alone cannot win;
hitters alone cannot win. Figure the
entire team. First base. mediocre;
third base, wablyai outtield. weak and
uncertain. Where is. the team?
The answer is in your mind-Evers,
Maranville. Now study the winning
ball clubs of all time in baseball, and
you will commence to realize the
value of speed, action and hustle
around that second base. Begin with
this broad assertion that there never
has been a great baseball club that
did not have a great second baseman
and a great shortstop at the same
time.
If you will concede that I will de-
clare hat there never will be a great
base-shortstop combination outside
the ordinary.
The importance of this combination
is overlooked by nan teams and by
many critics.
Let us eliminate putouts (thrown
balls caught) by the first baseman
and s~trikeouts. and the second base
man and shortstop handle more balls
in play than the other nine players
combined. They are in more plays
than all the others combined save
first baseman and catcher. On the
face Of it a weak man in either place
spells ruin for the clubs pennant
chances.
Go back into the history of the
game. Ward and Richardson with
New York in the late sos. Rowe and
Dunlap, Williamson and Pfeffer. Glea-

Browns, Hughie Jennings and Henry
Reitz with baltimore, Herman Long
and Link Lowe with Boston, Hobe

ton, Evers and Tinker with the Cubs,
Bush and Schaefer with Detroit.
Take more recent times. No one
will dispute the fact that Collins and

Barry constitute Mack's greatest de-
fensive strength. Those who saw the
worlds series last fall won't forget
their dazzling fielding that saved their
weakening pitchers. And now Stallings
has as good a combination around
second as any team needs. It is won
derfully fast, brainy and it is work
ing together as If one mind directed
the movements of both. If the Braves
come through the lions share of the
credit will belong to Evers and Mar

OUR PEOPLE IN PERIL
PRESIDENT WILSON is NOT DEAL
ING WITH HUERTA AS
A RULER.
WE HAVE NO IMMEDIATE PROTECTION
All Americans Ordered to Leave Mex
leo diately-Huerta Not Re-
CURED to See Them Safely Away
Under Present Conditions.

Washington, April 20.-President
Wilson's policy of dealing with Huerta
as an individual and not as a ruler in
the present crisis has put Charge
O'Shaughnessy and the American con-
suar officials, as well as all American
citizens now in Mexico, in grave peri.
The president apparently desires to
make Huerta the aggressor in case
there should be actual hostilities. In
carrying out this program he has
placed within the dictators hands
means to humiliate this country be-
yond all measure of revenge should
Huerta desire to exercise his power
over the lives and liberty of the Ameri-
can officials now in Mexico, instead Of
giving them aheir passports in the
customary manner
Only Handful for Protection.
Concern is felt at the state depart
ment tonight over the situation The
American consuls have been ordered
to advise all Americans to leave Mex
leo Immediately, but they must remain
at their posts until given their pass
ports by Huerta or ordered out by this
government later. Charge Onslaught
messy has 60 marines at the American
embassy in Mexico City and all Of
the Americans there can be supplied
promptly with arms. AS against this
small force, however, Huerta has up
ward of 10000 soldiers, the best Of
his army in the capital under the di-
rection of Banquet, his minister of
war.
Outside of the marines and the fact
that the Americans are armed moth
ing has been done by this government
for their protection.
Nothing can be done in the present
situation, it is argued, except to trust
to fate If this government desires
to order its officials out of Mexico, or
certain portions of Mexico, 1t can
afford them absolutely no protection
en- route under international law.
Passports Not Compulsory.
AS a ruler had Huerta deemed the
presidents proclamation a declaration
of war, he would be compelled to give
the American officials their passports
and guarantee them safety across the
border or to neutral ships in his har-
bors. The presidents refusal to rec
ognize him as having any ruling rights
whatsoever relieves him of this neces-
sity.
The only thing which argues for the
safety of the Americans is the recog
milton given Huerta by European
powers. This recognition, however
avails him little now, as these powers
are understood to favor most drastic
action by the United States to restore
peace in Mexico.

Does Not Back Down.

Washington.-Follo an act by
congress authori ing him to use the
land and naval forces of the United
States in dealing with the Mexican
situation, President Wilson will issue
two proclamations, one announcing a
belligerent blockade of the neighbor-
ing republic and the other defining the
manner by which such blockade shall
be maintained.
Foreign Ships Kept Away.
The plan to establish a pacific
blockade has been abandoned in favor
of the naval and military recommanda-
ton that a "belligerent" blockade be
ordered. A pacific blockade, accord
ing to international law experts, is in
reality reprisal and a measure short OF
war. Otherwise it is not pacific.
A pacific blockade, if observed in
accordance with principles laid down
by the institute of international law
would permit ships under a foreign
flag to enter blockaded ports freely il
spite of the blockade. In other words
pacific blockade would apply only
to vessels of the bloekaded and block
aiding nations Mexican ships anC
American ships would be denied egres'
from and ingress to Mexican ports
which would be open to ships of al
other nations. Thus only American
commerce would suffer.
Blockade to Be Drastic.
A belligerent blockade would appl
to the ships of all nations. To be Ell
fective and binding it would have tt
be maintained by force sufficient t.
render ingress to or egress from tn
ports dangerous. Formal notice o
such blockade must be given directl
to the governments of neutral powers
The state department is prepared &
present to the president the proclaim;
tions he will issue probably on Tues
day or Wednesday, provided Huert
shall not comply with the America
demand. They will be similar to thos
issued by former President McKinle
when he was authorized by congress
to act with view to the pacificatio
of Cuba
