VICTORY FOR
PRESIDENT
CONCEDED
Speaker Clark to Close Assault
on RepeaI-Senate Watches
House.

WASHINGTON. March S1.-Con-
gressional leaders of the Administra-
tons fight to repeal the tolls clause
of the Panama Canal act who called
at the White House this forenoon told
President Wilson that the success of
the Sims bill was assured in the
House, and when the vote is taken
there it will have substantial ma
jority for the measure.
Even among the Representatives
who have opposed the repeal it was
generally conceded that the Admins
tration would win. They declared,
however. that the claims of the bills
advocates that it would have ma
jority of from so to Is were greatly
exaggerated.
The heaviest artillery Of the House
was wheeled into position for the
final struggle on the repeal measure,
which has precipitated one of the
most vigorous legislative battles ever
waged in Congress.
Result to Affect Senate.
The repeal party, led by President
Wilson and Representatives Adam
son Of Georgia, Henry and Palmer
and the "antis," cheered on by Speak
er Clark Majority Leader Underwood.
Republican Leader Mann, Progressive
Leader Murdoch and Representatives
Doremus, Kitchin and Fitzgerald,
have pressed the issue with all their
resources.
The main question was whether the
majority for repeal would be less or
greater than the vote by which the
rule limiting debate was carried. Gain
or loss by either faction in the House,
it was declared, would affect the re-
suit in the Senate
Minority Leader Mann had reserved
his speech against the repeal for to-
day. Representative Sherley, of Ken
lucky. favoring the repeal, and Rep
resentative Covington, of Maryland,
close in the confidence of the Presi-
dent. also waited for the final day Of
debate to present their cause.
Representative Kent, Of California,
the only Independent in the House,
was primed for his anti-free tolls
argument.
Clark Guards Speech.
Speaker Clark was assigned to
make the final assault on the repeal
and the closing hour of the debate
was set aside for the most important
speech of the Speakers political ca
reer. The galleries filled early and
the visitors sat patiently waiting for
this. the big feature of the debate.
What viii Clark say?" was the
question on every lip throughout the
earlier hours of the day. He had re-
fused to give out his speech i'm adj
vance Of the opening of the session.
The demand for seats in the gall
leries was greater to-day than on any
previous day of the fight. Every So
cial leverage was used to obtain the
coveted places of vantage in the re-
served galleries from which the
Speaker might be heard Stylishly
gowned women and men Of business
and Federal employment by hundreds
Aocked to the south wing Of the
Capitol long before the doors were
opened.
BY the conditions Of the rule adopt
ed when debate began on the Sims
bill the discussion was limited to 20
hours. When the House convened to-
day all but FIVE hours and 80 minutes
of this time had been exhausted.

TYRUS COBB'S CRACKED RIBS
Georgia Peach, Planned for His "vi

Version Of the Matter.

Speaking Of Ty Cobb's ribs, the re-
suit of an all too strenuous slide into
a base, reminds me of an incident con-
corning that wizard of the paths. Cobb
has always been PANIED all around

base sliding.
The Tigers had played this day at
the Yankee park. AS usual Ty had
slid into some baseman and the eve.
ming papers had taken him to task
because of his deliberate spiking."
That night Cobb was playing billiards
at his friend, John Doyle's. The ques.
ton Of his base sliding was talked Of.
Suddenly Cobb dropped his cue, and
facing half hundred fans-some for
him, but most against him-he said:
They say 1. cut men down purpose
ly on the bases. play the game to
win. I can't help it if they block my
way. When I'm coming into a base

want all you men to bear witness that
Ty Cobb doesn't do all the cutting
down. Just look here boys" and Ty
sat on the billiard table and pulled
up both trouser legs to his knees.
Each leg was cut from ankle to
knee in frightful way. Hardly an
inch of whole skin remained uncut or

One hundred years ago a vessel fly
ing the stars and stripes was cruising
boldly in the chops Of the English
channel, almost within hailing dis.
lance of England's shores. The yes.
sci, which on the morrow was to
achieve one of those brilliant vic
tories in the War of 1912, was the new
sloop Wasp. recently completed at the
navy yard in Portsmouth, NJ H., and
named after the gallant little craft
that had been taken by the British
after her capture of the Frolic. The
new Wasp was stanch three-master.

crew of 173 men was purely American,
not a foreigner among them. She was
in charge of the gallant Capt. John
ston Blakely, who recently had been
in command of the Enterprise.

When Joe Tinker jumped last win

BASEBALL PLAYED AT NIGHT
gin at 7:15 o'clock in Regina
and Terminate at 10.

Regina, the capital OF Saskatche
wan province, with a population Of
about 10000, has adopted the more
daylight plan of moving the hands
of the clock forward one hour. The
change went into effect May 1 and
will continue up to October 1. AS Q
result, the baseball games start at
7:15. 1t will be possible then to CON
tinue play up to 10 o'clock.
The crowds are composed of about
three-quarters men and one-quarter
women rooters, and average about
1900 game the year around. 1t Is
an everyday sight to see fifty or sixty
automobiles lined up along the right
and left field foul lines. And how
these automobiles do root! Every
noisemaking instrument known is
brought into play to cheer on one of
the home boys. A good play by
visitor also brings out round Of ap-
plause.
A peculiar situation turned up at
Regina few days ago. In the ninth
inning against Saskatoon Regina had
men on first and second, with one
man out and the score to against
them Jack Smith laid down a bunt
which the pitcher, Cadreau, threw
into the bleachers. Both runners
scored, apparently winning the game,
but, owing to the ground rule which
permitted only two bases on a wild
throw, Umpire Colgate ruled that only
one run had scored, and the other
could not pass third base. In the
meantime the crowd rushed on the
field and carried off the players, and
1t was impossible to resume play.
AS 1t stood the score was a tie, man
on second and third and one out
President Fleming, to whom the
matter was finally referred, ordered
the game played over, owing to the
fact that the crowd was allowed to
rush on the field and prevent further
play.

boasted unique possession-a big
tile stove with the date of 1865, which
warmed both our bodies and our souls
with its CHEEKY comfort.
/ have said that this village pos
sesses none of the ordinary attractions
for tourists. This is quite true. There
are no shops for the sale of native
handiwork," no dealers in recent made
in-Germany antiques" no curio shops,
even, except one small booth kept by
a little bright-eyed old lady who will
offer you a choice between a pair of
chamois horns and a handful of gilt
tering semi-precious stones, which she
will assure you came from the great
granite heights of the Bristenstock,
frowning far above.
One should give thanks that this Is
so, for In Switzerland, and, in fact, in
all Europe, the places are all too few
