BARoNs FINALLY TALLY

The Barons did not get a man to Soc
ond base until the tenth inning. Mean
while the Lookouts, through inability
to hit with men on the bags, had gone
scoreless also. In the tenth, Coombs led
off with single to center. Southwcrth
laid down a bunt which Peters fielded
in time to catch Cecil at second, but
Pete threw high, the ball going to cen
ter Johnston hunted and Peters threw
the ball to third vainly, Coombs beating
it. Cation hit to Mcdowell and Coombs
was forced at the plate. Smith sent a
punch to Elberfeld, who fumbled
slightly enough to permit Southworth
to score, but Smith was thrown out at
first. Comstock then went out, pitcher
to first.
In the Lookouts' half Graft was
tossed out at first and Comstock famed
Peters and McDaniels, batting for Mer
rift.
The second contest saw continue
ton of the Lookouts' inability to find
the pinch blow, Milligan, aided by the
fielders warding off all threats. The
Barons' one run, which was sufficient
to win, came in the sixth. With two
down Milligan hit to center and Webb
followed with a triple to deep right,
scoring the Baron hurler.

Washington, Feb. 81
The sinking of the Laconia,
according to highest official
Interpretation, is "a clear
cut case"
No investigation is neces-
sary.
This became known as the
administration attitude fol-
lowing a conference at the
White House between Sec
rotary of State Lansing and
President Wilson.
Evidence now In hand, presumably
contained In cable dispatches from
American representatives abroad, II
was stated, eliminates any necessity
for further Investigation.
IN HANDS OF PRESIDENT.
The Laconia incident-what hsali
be done and how 1t shall be done-is
altogether In the hands of President
Wilson.
ANY decision, It was fatty stated,
must come from him.
II was strongly intimated that the
president has no immediate intention
of again going to congress.
The official Interpretation Of the La
coma incident as "a clear -eut" did not
bring in the word overt" but tho
manner in which II was described left
the very strong impression that overt
act" was in the mind of the official
who interpreted 1t.
That the overt act" which President
Wilson has said Il will recognize. and
40 will the country recognize 1t when
1t comes" has occurred. Is the opinion
in many quarters here today.
NO DECLARATION OF WAR.
That the incident however. will not
call forth n request for declaration
Of war. Is generally believed. 1t q
pointed out the president wants only
at this tlme-money and explicit
power to protect American lives and
at sea.
Some flatly called 1t more ruthless
md lawless than the sinking Of the
since Germany had since
promised to refrain from sinking un-
warned great passenger liners that
lad Americans aboard"
THE END OF PATIENCE.
1t was believed that when the detailed
lorrors that must have accompanied
he sinking OF the great ship are re-
eived and published in this country,
many who were inclined to pacifism,
viii feel that the nations patience is
xhausted
