Fighting Spirit
Big Factor in
Bison Victory

Bufalo's fighting spirit was the win
ming factor against Newark yesterday.
The Bisons snatched victory in the
twelfth inning, to 4.
With all the signs against them the
Bsons tied up the game in the ninth
inning by registering three runs. To
that time Newark had all the better Of
it. Enright had been pitching alright
ball and appeared to have the game in
hand. A single and felder's choice and
a triple drove him to the bench, as well
as putting two runs over. fly OF
Enzman sent home another, tieing the
score.

day, headed by Cleveland. Now, II
ever. is the moment to bring out the
marlinspike.
Peck and Pipp each picked up a
home run and a single. The two
homers were the blows that left Mr..
Williams with that tired feeling.
This enterprising community has
suffered three distinct shocks OF late.
/ The first blow came when the Mack
men wrenched off a double-header
from the Yanks. The second came
when the Braves peeled off three out
/ Of four from the Dodgers. The third
was the four-day operation on the Gil
ants By the Phillies. who skilfully re-
moved any dream about a 1916 pen
nant.
Early in the season Chief Bender,
/ the renowned Chippewa, made this re-
mark: Brooklyn could win this PEN
] nant if she could beat Boston when
they meet. But don't believe Brook
! Ign can" The Chief knew something.
The Robins missed the chance OF
] lNtlI AMBITIOUS NOuh6 llNtc NhNh IhSg
I succumbed TO the Braves at the rate
of three out of four. Their once COM
handing lead, that might have been
| heightened, has now been cut to three
/ games. The Phllies pick up three
games in four days, while the Braves
| gained two full contests.
The Red Sox face their big test now
{ in the invasion which begins to-day.
! II Carrigans club can beat back all
opposition he will be safely through
/ the main morass. But he must stop
each contender in turn, as he can look
for no great help from Philadelphia
/ and Washington, nor from the Yanks,
unless they go forth and give battle
with trife more zip.
Carrigan will need a fair margin at
least before he plunges westward in
September, and with Ruth, Shore
Leonard, Mays and Foster primed and
poised, he should have that margin
fairly well guarded before August
closes out
The dope about the Giants having
the best club in the National League
with Herzog and Sallee added, was
awarded swift kick over the ankle
by the Phill:es, who are now in fine
shape to work their way back 70 the
top. Boston and Brooklyn still have a
number of games left with the Giants
and neither is likely to make it four
in n row, despite the downward plunge
Of McGraws club in Philadelphia.
In the hazy interim few pennant
words are spoken about Cleveland. and
yet the Indians persist in sticking
around the top. No one gives them a
tumble, which is greatly to their ad-
vantage, as the opportunity Is thereby
offered to slip by quietly when no one
is looking.
Pretty soft for the Yanks for the
next two weeks. Nobody to beat but
Cleveland, st. Louis, Chicago and De.
troit
The Yanks may not win the pennant
hut they can at least boast the two
leading home run hitters of the league
Baker and Pipp each have eight circuit
punches TO their ere lit, while the next
two in sight are Felsch and Graney
with five each.
In the National League. Williams. OF
the Cubs, leads the home run count with
ten. The once mighty Cactus Cravath
is no longer among the first ten slug.
gers Of his corral.
Bob Shawkey has had great season
greater by far than his record oil
fifteen victories against ten defeats
shows. His pitching day in and day
out has been beyond reproach.

Semi-weekly herald., 1916-01-27

That the latest German note re-
garding the Lusitania is unsatisfac-
tory, is Indicated by the official
statement from the White house.
The statement said that the print
ed forecasts of the note completely
conceding the demans was "pnre
supposition, unjustified by the facts"
1t has just been learned that German
Ambassador Bernstorff gave the note
to Secretary Lansing Saturday and
that it reached the president yester-
day. 1t is before the cabinet today.
In hopes Of clearing the matter up
before he takes the stump for pre-
paredness, Woodrow is delaying his
start l2 hours in order to have a
conference with Secretary Lansing
tomorrow.
The German embassy officially
said: This is Germany's last word
in the matter"
Bernstorff indicated that he had
reason to think that Lansing and
President Wilson would regard it as
meeting the situation, and said he did
not see how Germany could go fur
thef.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 25.-
President Wilson has committed to
the tariff commission the task of in
vestigating conditions with view of
recommending to congress schedules
suited to all demands, realizinz that
after the war certain economic chang
es will arise that can not be antici-
pated now.
The president believes that board
of responsible business men should
investigate the countrys trade.
This move represents radical
change from the presidents position
Of year ago when he declared that
he wished to give the present tariff
an opportunity to show how it work
ed out
Owing to the conditions imposed by
the European war. the president be-
lieves the tariff has not had chance
to show its strength or weakness.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The United
States Steel corporation has declared

The amount paid on the common

LA PLATA COUNTY GETS
BLUE RIBBON FOR ALFALFA

With nearly every other section of
the west competing for the prize, the
San Juan basin alfalfa was awarded
the blIe ribbon at the Western Stock
show just held in Denver. The
specimen that won was a part of the
Durango Exchange exhibit, and was
selected from a representative dis
play at the Colorado New Mexico
fair last fall.
As alfalfa is the main forage crop
grown in Colorado and many other
states in the west. hundreds Of home
seekers and investors were interest
ed in the section that produced the
prize quality. County Agriculturist
smith was on hand to tell them about
the splendid opportunities it had to
offer.
The Exchange exhibit captured
second honors for feterita, crop
that has only been grown here for
the past two years, but one that evil
IDENTIFY thrives exceedingly well.
Mr.. Smith returns from Denver to-
night and will probably have other
premiums for the exhibit on his list

Preparedness Arguments.

1t seems that Congressman An
thony shot few holes thru the plans
of General Hugh Scott, chief of the
general staff, who appeared before
the military committee of the house
Of representatives few days ago to
talk for an army of two million men.
General Scott it seems, made the
statement that a strong foreign power
could land 100000 men on our shores
within 90 days. Congressman An
thony wanted to know why an army
of two million would be necessary to
withstand a foreign army of half a
million. General Scott replied by
citing report Of the war college that
Austria could land an expedition Of
72,000 men on our shores and follow
it up with a second expedition of 1885,
900 in sixty days. Congressman An
thony then wanted to know what was
to become of the 10000 men while
they were waiting for the reinforce
ments Of 10000. Congressman An
thony has been a member of the mil
itary committee of the house for eight
years and is one OF the best posted
members of the committee.
