BY BUD RTTHERFORD.

10 much has been said and Jut
down in cold linotype about the
- dOinEs and records Of players In
the special championship series, that
all that seems necessary now is to sit
down and wait for the final game Of
the series Sunday afternoon.
It is simply a matter Of history re-
neating itself, except in the fact that
the battle Sunday will be the sixth
and deciding game OF the entire Sc
ries, and, besides, both teams viii be
slightly weakened 10y the loss Of two
players. The City leaguers have
dropped Duty. second baseman, while
the army boys have lost a capable
man in shortstop Morton. Duty is out
Of the game with a broken leg, sus-
tanned in an automobile accident.
while Morton injured his single while
making a headlong slide to home
plate in a practice game on the pa
rade grounds at TT. Bliss
Many Are Considered.
Just who viii so into the position
left vacant by Morton is not known,
but II is believed thet Sergt. Wester-
man viii shift his lineup in order 10
send c. Brown TO the saOrtstOp job,
and give the third base work 10
Bicke-son. who is a capable little
fielder and has 2 strong arm.
There is very little doubt but
that all Of the material will be
given a thorough going over by
SerEt. Westerman, as during the
past five games OF the series he
has shown every capability Of the
managerial berth. and the army
fans can rely on this excellent
sportsman.
Duty's Job viii be taken either by
Chuma Minjarez, who returned 20
town lately. or by little "enchilada"
Armendariz. regular outfielder. In
the event that Al Adkins is back IN
the game. LevinEstOn can send this
fleet young man TO left field, use Car
berry in center and GaueEos in right
Red has an abundance Of players who
can handle a Job in the field, butthe
second base position is a hard one 10
fiji, and Il seems bad luck for both
DUTY and the team for the little in
fielder to receive a serious injury, as

NOT MADE PLANS

Contrary reports are heard as TO
the NOrthwestern's plans for next
year That league has filed reserva-
tion claim 10 players and has protest
ed against the thought Of giving up
Seattle TO the Coast league. but as
matter Of fact there are no real indi-
cations OF any intention to open the
gates in the league next year The
only chance seems to be based on be
ing able 10 get Portland into a re-

At least four Of the five games

battles
At 7;30 the First Christian and
First Presbyterian teams will meet,
and the championship Of the base
meut division viii be settled in this
game. The latter team has strength
ened its lineup during the last week
and ought TO give the experienced
followers OF Campbell a hard game
The o'clock match between the
First Methodist and Cathedral Quin-
tets looks a little ike q Methodist
victory but the Catholic boys are hard
workers and may spring a surprise
on the near champions.
The $50 game ought to be a roof
raiser also. II Is possible that
Bevaus viii be in the Baptist lineup
which ought to even matters up con
siderably. Captain Schumacher has
had his squad Of Westminster to-
Eether this week for several practices
and seems confident of a win
Without a doubt. the big fellows
from Trinity viii take their match
from the Mexican Methodist team,
but the Mexican boys always let their
opponents know that they are there
and a one sided score may not be the
result this time
Calvary and Mt Sinai viii furnish
the big attraction at $3.50 and both
teams are going after this game for
all there is in II. Old man Whaley
is back in the Calvary lineup which
ought to boost things for them,
while Pinkie SiIberberg has been saw
ing his wind all week for this game,
which may make ii possible for him
TO last through a whole game for
the Community Hall boys.
The whistles will be handled by

DEPARTMENT HEADS
FORBIDDEN TO TALK
Secretary Lansing Issues In
structions Closing News
Channels.
DAILY INT RVIEW S
Newspaper Men to See Secre-
tary Twice a Day-To Use
Bureau Of Intelligence.

Washington, May THE usual
news Of Americas relationships to for
eign powers have up to now reached
the public were closed today by Secrc-
tary Lansing.
An order bearing his name was dis
tributed broadcast to state department
officials instructing them not to talk
with newspapermen, "even on insig-
nificant matters Of fact or detail'
Henceforth, under the order the press
will not be able to discuss the back
ground of complicated international
questions with the experts at the head
of each bureau.
Just Two Sources.
The order says hereafter all news
OF the department must be given out
either by the secretary himself or by
the newly created so-called bureau
of foreign intelligence.
Secretary Lansing sees the news
papermen twice daily but does not
pretend TO be able to answer the maze
Of questions which every hour of the
day is raised by newspaper cable dis
patches. The meetings are becoming
more and more perfunctory.
The bureau Of foreign intelligence is
about a month old and is charged not
only with the press, but with supply
ing news to all American missions
abroad. Usually very much behind the
press cables because of the need of
cooling and de- coding. the bureau at
the same times confines itself mostly
to formal statements on news facts
and does not attempt to provide the
background or explanation which give
international news it's real value.
Situation Too Delicate.
Secretary Lansing in discussing the
order tonight. said that the present
situation was too delicate for the va :
rious bureau chiefs to be giving out in
formation. He said he recently had
learned some matters which he had
not wished published had come out
through the ncwspapermen seeing va
rious officials of the department and
he did not feel that they should ex-
pect to continue sucl visits under the
present situation.

Springfield. ILL.,, May The MEM
DRY Of Abraham Lincoln was honored
this afternoon when Marshal .Joefre.
the beloved military idol of. France;
Rene Viviani. former premier, and
members of the French mission, rev.
erently filed into the tomb Of the mar.
tyred president in the Oak Ridge GEM
etery here and stood in impressive
silence while the hero OF the Marine
placed a golden wreath upon the sar-
cophagus.
The commissioners had looked for
ward to the visit to Springfield, the
home of the emancipation. since land
ing on American soil and the hour and
a half spent in the city was one of con-
tinuous ovation except the silent sa-
lutes given in tribute to the memory
of Lincoln.
At the state capital, where an Off
cial reception had been arranged for
the distinguished Frenchmen by Gov
ernor Lowden and the legislature, both
Marshal Joffre and NJ. Viviani spoke.
Il come here to represent France
and the French army" Marshal Joffre
said. Il thank you. leave the French
army to come to Springfield to salute
the citizens of Illinois and the city"
NJ. Viviani paid tribute to Lincoln
and President Wilson and told Of the
rejoicing that spread through France
when the speech of President Wilson,
announcing the intention Of the United
States to enter the war was received.

EXECUTIVE ESSION
Vigorous Attack Is Made on
Executive for Failure to
Consult Members.

Washington, May 7.-Unqualified
authority for proclamation of export
embargoes by the president was re-
stored to the administration espionage
bill by the senate today after Demo-
cratic Leader Martin had explained be-
hind closed doors that President Will
son feared he would be unable to ac-
complish the ends desired under the
section as it had been modified.
The provision as it now stands
would empower the president during
the war. when the public safety shall
so require to proclaim it unlawful
to export articles to ANY country
named" Last week the senate voted
to authorize embargoes only against
countries through which goods were
found to be reaching the enemy
Executive Session Held.
Today's action was preceded by 4
!, five hour debate in executive session,
during which, for the first time since
the United States went to war with
Germany, there was vigorous and long,
continued criticism OF President Will
son. Republicans led the attacks.
which were not directed at the presi-
dents conduct of the war. but at his
failure to consult with members of
congress about the legislation proposed
to enable him successfully to carry it
| on.
Senator Martin stated that the pres
idcnt would be embarrassed by the
amendment put in last week. He said
! the government had reason to believe
that American exports were getting to
| Germany through Holland and Switz-
crland. Senator Walsh said that one
| instance showing the need of a strong
er provision was found in the fact
that Spain is now limiting exports Of
certain articles needed by England.
which she formerly allowed to go In
large amounts. With n strict embargo
| law in the United States. he suggested
the administration might help an ally
by restricting exports to Spain.
Senators Lodge, Knox and Fall called
attention to the fact that the senate
had no advance information on reasons
for enactment of a strict embargo sec
| ton.
