PHILADELPHIA, May 20.--!n Buck
Weaver the Chicago White S0Z have
one ot the best shortstops OF The
present day. Weaver is the only real
rival of Jack Barry, admittedly the
peer of shortstops in the American
,eaeGe. 1t was due largely to The
rplendid play of Weaver that the
White Sox were able to finish within
iourteen points of the Red Sox last
season. His work throughout the year
was the most talked of topic in the
vicinity of Comiskey park, and wher-
ever he went on the American League
ircuit he performed with such unfal-
,ering precision that the fans through
out the country realized that Buck was
one OF the big stars of the Passime.
There is no doubt that Weaver
~, Guild be even better than he Is II
had had a partner of the Eddie Col
Ins type with whom to work around
seccnd base since he has been 4 mem
her of the Chicago club. Barry and
lollius have improved their inside and
mechanical play greatly by :he mere
TACT that they are always working to-
cether. Weaver has never had the op-
Jorsunity to do this because there has
! ever been Il man at second on the
White SoX since he broke into the ma
jors who could be relied upon to help
Inn work up the lightning plays which
rave to be pulled off around the key
stonc sack.
Even Barry has nothing on Buck
Weaver in throwing. Barry may get
lis pegs off a fraction OF . -econd
Isster than Weaver. but Buck shoots
them across with 4 trifie more speed
han the Athletic shortfielder, making
- about toss-up between the two
on the throwing end of the game.
Any one who saw him perform in the
came against the champions at Shihe
ark on Saturday knows how accurate
ly he throws from bad angles. lie
made one throw from deep short Ehile
on the run in the opposite direction
from first base that was a marvel Of

Not only that. but Weaver plays that
style of ball all the time. He cam I

The American government, however, will delay recognizing the constitutionalist government until satisfactory adjustment Is made about claims growing out of the revolution and the American forces will not he withdrawn from Vera Cruz until every difficulty has been adjusted
 That general amnesty will be withheld by Carranza Is the confident belief or Rafael Zubaran, head of the constitu- tonalist agency here. MT. Zubaran said tonight many of those who turned against Madero should be punished by the Mex ican courts In this way, he thinks, mal- contents who might start a counter revo- lution would be swept aside.
 The possibility that General Villas re- cent friction with Carranza may break out anew is discussed by officials as the one threatening cloud on the horizon. With prompt recognition by the United States, however, Carranza would be in a position to obtain arms with which to crush q counter revolution. It is be- lieved the United States would not hesi- tate to make known to General Villa its disapproval of counter revolutions. though state officials believe Villa will remain loyal to Carranza.
