tudes through which the shifting struggle has passed. As the pendu- lum has swung back and forth be- tween the great belligerent powers ir the four years and four months Of war, Spain has shown herself un- movable. We hope confidently that the correlated sovereign soils of this peninsula, which represent the 'Iber- ian bloc, are to be respected by no Impeachment of our sovereignty, for certainly it should be to the inter- ests of both sides to respect our in- dependence fully"
 GIVES FIRST INTERVIEW
 The small framed, quiet-manner- ed statesman really talked with just such precision and full phras- ing. Never in his 67 years-most of them spent in military and politic- al service-had he ever before sub mitted to an interview. So in urg- ing him tv break his rule and re- ceive me, I had suggested that he present his views about Spain in his own rich language and as if he were speaking only to Spaniards and not to the world. In that way he might better convey to readers abroad the emotional feeling and thought of Spain today.
 Thus, he combined diplomatic lan- guage with colorful national me- taphor in declaring that Spain's government is not copy of any other regime i'll Europe. "We are Spaniards," he said, land we Span- lards have our own characteristics which date far back and which are very dear to us. Spain is not a country without its own 'solera'- without it's own roots and its own seedwine and it's own casks. We do not need to borrow these from oth- srs. We use our own national spir- t. known for centuries in every part of the world"
 Spains position of neutrality, like that of Switzerland and Sweden, has been of great service to the warning world, Jordana pointed out, adding: And Spains contribution will be even greater and more evi- dent when the struggle ceases.
 Tt would be grave error to shut put from the readjCstment of the world those countries which have remained outside the g conflict which have done so regardless of how the victory looked at any time In those long years. Their counsel and participation in shaping the new world is indispensable if the world hopes to arrive at durable peace. To whatever degree any vic- torious powers have contempt for those they consider weak, to the degree they will create the germs of another war"
 Discussing false criticisms and mistaken opinions of his country, he blamed refuges and emigreS for most of the inaccurate reports about Spain, and continued: "Only com- plete distortion of the truth can ex- plain how there are those in the United States, for example, who seem to believe that Spanish public opinion Is divorced from the gov- ernment and does not support its policies and actions. We hear that even the loyalty of the army is questioned from afar.
 '"The truth is that not only is the Ayny totally united and perfectly faithful to the orders of the Chief of State-and I can testify to this as person who knows perfectly well the interior workings of the army-but 1t is also equally true that this governments present acts and future intentions are supported

 Perched on that explosive bit be- side the driver of an amphibious duck" sea-going, armed truck I went ashore in the first vehicle to leave our ship.
 Only the calmness of the men around me kept my nerves steady and enabled me to keep this record of the start of the biggest show SC far in tn Pacific war:

Third
Senator'S HurIer
Whips As Again
BY JUDSON BAILEY

A lot of pitching surprises, as
well as surprising pitchers. have
sprouted this Spring in the Ma
jor Leagues, but none has been
any more amazing than that
young CD man from Caracas,
Senior Alexandra Cassasquel of
the Washington Senators.
The big Venezuelan is listed in
the record books as 90 years old,
30 next July, but in appearance
he looks to be anywhere be-
tween 80 and 40 and his team
mates say there is no telling ex-
actly how old he really is
Anyway, he has been with
Washington for four years prior
to this season without ever win
ming more than seven games. He
reached this nominal peak last
year, when he also lost seven.
In the face of this undistin-
guished precedent Big Alex has
opened the 1913 campaign by
whipping the Philadelphia Ath-
leticS three times TO take his
place among a select little group
of hurlers who have won three
games without defeat.
Carrasquer~~looked fast in
Spring training, but he was still
rated as a relief pitcher when
the Senators staged their inaug-
ural with the AS on April 20.
He worked the last five innings
of that affair, allowed but two
hits, and received credit for the
victory. Five days later he was
chosen to start against the AS
at Philadelphia and proceeded
to shut them out on two hits.
Yesterday he beat them again
81 on four hits and the only
run against him came on an err
ror in the ninth The New York
Yankees remained on top the A.
l.. by noslng out the Boston Red
Sox 4-3.
The second place Cleveland
Indians divided a double header
with the Chicago White Sox.
The Brooklyn Dodgers plow-
cd the Philadelphia Phillies back
into the National League cellar
with an 1876 drubbing.
The ST Louis Cardinals were
set down 81 in IA innings by
the Chicago Cubs.
New Yorks groggy giants
swept doubleheader from the
Boston Braves 81 and 10.
Bucky Walters pitched and
batted Cincinnati TO a 81 tri.
umph over the Pittsburgh Pr
rates.

which he did successfully for
four campaigns.
Roger became involved in a
famous contractural controversy
in ST. Louis, later piloted the
Chicago Cubs. but he will al
ways be remembered as the styl-
ish battery mate of Christy
Mathewson, Iron Man McGinni-
ty, Red Ames, Hooks Wiltse and
Dummy Taylor of the Giants,
Bresnahan caught Matty in his
three Shutouts Of the Athletics
in the World Series of 1905,
topped the Giants batting or
der.
Bresnahan is also renowned as
the man who devised shin
guards. Until he was overcome
with the idea while watching a
cricket game in 1907, the catch
er was protected only by small
mask and a chest pad of much
less dimensions than those in
use today Catchers had TO be
tough men then.
Bresnahan $ first shin guards
were Of the cricket vari-
sty, with shields sticking up
above the knees Catchers'
knees are now protected by
leather shcaths. Bresnahan' S
shin guards looked clumsy, but
he managed 10 get around with
them all right.
Blcacherites around the Ma
tional League derided the new
protection, called Bresnahan
