Sometimes you hear men, sensible

Wilson this year because he kept us
out of war;"
Ask such men a short question.
Ask them, "Out Of what war;"
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of the
European War? No. He has himself
in formal address to congress spok-
en- Of the European war as "a war
with which we have nothing to do, a
war whose causes do not touch u.s."

Of war with which we have nothing

Did Mr.. Wilson keep US out Of war
with Mexico7 No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Med.
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized a
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Mexi-
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought b.dles against our people with.
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through Two
Mexican revolutions during hls term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe in Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
by Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr..
Taft was in the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought Of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept US out Of war with
Mexico. he. put an embargo. on arms
so that American weapons would not
be sent across the boundary, and he
refused to interfere in Mexican affairs.
When he left Office Mexicans liked
Americans and Americans were safe
In Mexico. Since he left Office Med-
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain In Mexico. Did Mr..

Cambridge. Mass, May 26.-Cornell' S
we'll balanced track and field team took
first place in the qualifying contests
of the 41st annual championship meet
this afternoon in the Harvard Stadium
The Ithaca University placed IS men
in 10 of the ii events, Coach Moak-'
ley's athletes alone failing to come
through in the broad jump.
Yale Second
The track and field stars from Yale
pressed Cornell closely, qualifying Is
men, but the ELS strength was not
so evenly distributed. for the Blue was
shut out of both the hammer and 44O
yards dash. There was a bitter strug-
gle in every one of the events and the
two California Universities, Leland
Stanford and California succeeding in
placing seven men in the finals, which
was but one less than the number Sc
cured by Harvard, the host of the COM
petfng athletes. Pennsylvania, Dart
mouth and Princeton also got seven
men through and Michigan six. The
other qualifying colleges were Pennsyl-
vania State. Syracuse, Bowdoin. Rut-
gers. Swathmore and Mass. Institute
Of Technology.
Weather and track conditions were
almost perfect, the one drawback be-
ing stiff breeze which blew down
the straightaway at the backs of tie
sprinters and was an alternate help
and handicap to the distance runners
The wind probably will result in the
loss of a new record in the high
hurdles for F. S. Murray of Stanford,

acceptance of the time and that it
would be rejected in all probability, if
requested, owing to the stiff breeze
Murray, however, did not need the
wind at his back to impress the spec
tators with his ability as a hurdler
The Stanford star SKINNED over both
the high and low hurdles in sensa-
tional fashion, proving an easy winner
in both events and thus dividing hon
ors with Capt. "TeG" Meredith of
Pennsylvania, who took first place in
both his heats in the quarter and half
mile events. Murray also had a COM

Some Trolley League Dope
'rolley League opens June II.

Trolley League opens June II.
Gardiner has her team complete in
makeup. Winthrop is also in the run
ming for full numbers of ball players.
That meeting at Hallowell Thursday
evening is conceded to be the most en-
thusiastic baseball gathering ever held
on the Kennebec. Hooray for Halo
WE'LL
Gardeners lineup looks strong and
it will be<a vigorous opponent for any
one OF the teams in the league.
Bob Gill Of Boston College, the gil
ant left handler, one of Charlie Towle's
finds, is a cousin of the Gill who play
ed last year on Winthrop.
Beaudoin and his brother on the Gar
diner team ought to make a good COM
bination as catcher and first base.
Beaudoin caught for Gardiner part Of
last season, a fine catcher and heavy
hitter.
Winthrop is looking ahead for the
beginning of Trolley ball A game is
planned for Memorial day at Winthrop
with Kent's Hill, when most of the
Trolley League players for Winthrop
will be in play.
Augusta will have all Of last years
players that it Is possible to obtain.
Gilman, the heavy hitting infielder,
will undoubtedly be captain, and the
king Of all third basemen in the league
last year, Joe Coady, will again hold
down the hot corner. Artie Abbott, cas-
lily the headiest backstop and best
thrower in the league, will be Angus
ta's catcher this year. Fritz O'Marra,
the classy southpaw Of Tufts College.
will play with Augusta and great
things are expected Of him, as he has
been pitching wonderful ball this sea-
son for Tufts. He has not lost a game
for Tufts this season. The Boston
Globe Of recent date says: Fritz
O'Marra was the big pitching feature
Of the season In the South for Tufts.
In the last game he pitched he held
Georgetown to two hits" He is not
only g. great pitcher, but a wonderful
batsman and fielder. He bats in fourth
position on the college team-Cleanup
man they call him, and plays left field
when not in the tox. He is hard
and willing worker and is in the game

every minute from start to finish.
Harvey undoubtedly will be with the
team again this season and it is ex-
pected he will win many games by his
classy all-round work. Harvey is GER
tainly the best all-round man in the
league. Purinton is playing great ball
for Hebron. He is leading all the prep
schools in Maine with the stick. His
batting average up to last Saturday
was $50. He ought to be a valuable
man for Augusta this year. Violette,
the heavy hitter of the Augusta team,
will again be seen with the Sem
ators. Neil is surely a terror to oppos-
ing pitchers in pinch. Boardway,
promising youngster, will be given
tryout and if he plays as good ball this
year as last he certainly ought to be
great addition to the team. Newbert,
a fast little shortstop for the past
three years. ought to be better than
ever this season. Taber is likely and
promising youngster. who should de-
velop. The fourth outside man has not
been decided upon, but Folsom has
strings on several players that are
all reported to be first class men. New
ton. a promising young catcher and
outfielder will also be given trial.
He has some years experience in semi
professional baseball and is believed
to be very valuable man for the
Senators.
Hallowell will certainly be on the
map with the scrappiest team they
have ever had. George Boardman, the
manager, is working hard to have
first class aggregation. and with his
experience and knowledge Of men and
the splendid financial backing which
the citizens Of Hallowell are giving
him, the Granite City team ought to
the best season in all ways.
Lewiston will make all the other
teams in the league hustle. With its
big population and two high school
teams and shoe factory league to draw
men from, 1t ought to be an easy task
for Danny O'Connelr to pick a pen
nent winner for the Spindle city. May
or Brann and his business associates
in the management Of the team will
leave no stone unturned to give Lew
iston some of the fastest and classiest
baseball that they have ever had.
