ATHLETICS AND PARR OPENED SEASON HERE

Home Team Won Good Game From Northendera Sunday by Close Score of 4 to 1. Rensselaer defeated Parr at baseball Sunday by the score of 4 to 1, in a contest that was exciting and spirited throughout. Parr has a good ball team and some positions are filled by players of considerable ability. On both sides there was some sparkling fielding. The Parr battery was composed of Brohard and Wood, of Fair Oaks, and they held the locals to 8 hits and made them exert every ability to win. Brusnahan put up a star game at second base and Thomas played well at first.' Ed Gilmore was strong at the bat, but. our fielders played well back for him and bagged three of his long flies, while he secured one hit that brought in Parr’s only run. In the first inning after two were down Brusnahan lifted a high fly which Mtason misjudged and he went to second, scoring on Gilmore’s hit. The Piarr fans enjoyed the temporary advantage by some good-natured rooting, bat the Rensselaer team made two runs in their half of the inning and annexed two other later. The Athletics look good this year and should have a prosperous season. Captain Wilcox caught a splendid game and made only one bad peg to second base. His throwing arm seems to be even better than it was a year ago. Clark used straight balls almost all of the time and struck out seven of the visitors, allowing them only 3 hits. His arm has been troubling him some and he does not want to injure it by throwing curves. His control and speed, however, are the very best. v Dad Swartzell made a clever bare hand catch in the opening frame, and thus dint off a hit and what Would probably have been a run. He also planted two good hits, one of them bringing in the first two runs. Mason got a three bagger and played a good game throughout and will probably be a regular with the Athletics? Foust, who also came from Monon to try for theteam, did not have a fielding chance, but could not hit, fanning each time up. He was taken out and Hugh Kirk played the last two innings in the field, making a fine catch in the last inning. Kirk is apt to have a regular post in the right garden. Morgan was in fine shape at short, playing the position in professional style, yhile Jimmie Eldridge, who was shifted to third, also put up a good game and looks good in that position. Both are good, nervy players, good batters and swift on the bases. Harold dark played the left garden and bagged the only fly that cjame his way. Parks has not limbered up very good yet, but all know that he can handle second and good things are expected of him. He leads the batting list again this year. The receipts Sunday were $46.50. There was a good sized bunch of non-paying spectators on the rock 'pile. It is probable that some ■plan Will be developed to obstruct their vision. A game has not been arranged for next Sunday, but it is probable that Parr will be taken on again and the flans can be assured another good game. The college will be invited to play the following Sunday and after that a number of outside teams will be taken om It It hoped to get a chance at Goodland, Lowell, Delphi and some Lafayette teams before long.

MEXICAN LIGHTHOUSE TAKEN BY WARSHIPS

Huerta Had Caused Lights To Be Put Out, Endangering Movements Of All Vessels.

NEWSPAPERMEN RELEASED i.,.A i ■ . Correspondents Held as Spies at Mexico City Were Set Free—War and Navy Departments Show Activity, Although Peace Program Goes Forward By Appointment of Two Men to Represent the United States at the Conferences of the A. B. C. Mediators. Washington, May 10.—President Wilson received today at the white house Ambassador De Gama, of Brazil, the ranking member of the South American mediators who are trying to compose the Mexican trouble. % Neither the white house nor the ambassador would make any statement as to the conference, but the receipt, later, of a dispatch from Mexico City, stating that Foreign 'Minister Ruiz had protested" to the mediators that several United States torpedo boats with a trans■poirt and tender, had landed a party on Lobos Island, eight miles off the east coast, and had taken the was believed to have been the purpose of the ambassador’s unusual visit to the white house on Sunday. Admiral Howard cabled yesterday to the navy department that Huerta ordered the lighthouse on the Pacific coast extinguished, so as to impede navigation by American ships. The same Order by Huerta is reported to have been made as to lighthouses on the Atlantic side, so the reported seizure of the lighthouse on Lobos Island, might be held to be a precautionary measure to keep the lights burning and thus protect all Shipping along the east coast, where many British, French, Spanish find other foreign vessels ply. As such a precautionary measure, the taking of the lighthouse, it is contended, it be without significance as an occupation or territorial acquisition of the island, and therefore would not justify any charge of violation of armistice. Associate Justice Joseph P. Lamar, of the U. 8. supreme court, and Frederick W. Lehman, of St. Louis, former solicitor general, will be the representatives of the U. S. to confer with the mediators. This became known from an authoratitive Source tonight. A development of the day that served to relieve anxiety was news of the release of the four newspaper correspondents arrested at Mexico City—Walter Whiffen, of the Associated Press; Richard Harding Davis, of the New Ytork Tribune; Medill McCormick, of the London Times, and A. J. Sutton, of the Washington Post. Word of the release reached the state department through the Brazilian minister at Mexico City. City. v The dispatches of the ambassadors stated that Messrs. McCormick and Davis had left by refugee train for Yera Cruz, and Messrs. Whiffen and Sutton would leave today. It was said the correspondents had asked for permits to enter the federal lines, but without waiting to receive the permits, the# had taken the chance of going to Mexico City. The dispatches to the state department added: “Nothing extraordinary in the American colony.** The war and navy departments showed more than their wonted Sunday activity, but no orders of a notable character were issued from either branch during the day. Secretary Garrison and Major General Wotherspoon, chief of staff, were at their desks foK several hours, conferring over thrf precautionary military movements now being matured. Except to say that no additional orders had been sent for troop movements, the officials \yere silent on their deliberations. Ar-

rangements to secure transports qontinue. The adjutant general’s office of the War department has sent out an order to all retired enlisted men, which included non-commissioned officers, to report their availability “In ease of emergency,” and many seasoned soldiers may thus be added to the active list. The order calls upon its recipients to report at once the duties previously performed with the grades held during active service. Much apprehension is felt in diplomatic quarters as to the fate of foreigners at Mexico Oity, in case a sudden revolt should overthrow Huerta and permit the entry of the lawless hordes of Zapata and other undisciplined rebels. These foreigners are said to number 6,000, not counting the Ameridaps, most of whom have left Zapata is regarded, as the most immediate menace. A government official, who recently has arrived from Mexico Oity describes the ZapOta forces as the most desperate type of Indian, somewhat similar to the ApOches. Word also has reached legations here of savage threats Zapata is said to have sent to leading citizens and their wives and daughters in towns near where he is operating. One message is said to hace notified a prominent citizen that when the town was captured, Zapata would cut off his ears and “eat them fried.” Another from Zapata to the daughter of a merchant, is, said to have informed her in revolting language to prepare to become his wife, on his taking the town. The chief fear in diplomatic quarters is as to the city being overrun and looted by Psrsons of this fierce and undisciplined type. Rebels Attack Tampico. Washington, May 10.—Reinforced constitutionalist forces at Tampico today began a general assault upon the federal garrison at that besieged port, according to reports reaching both the state department and constitutionalist headquarters here. Jaurez, Mex., May 10.—The most desperately fought battle of the present Mexican revolution, is being fought tonight at Tampico, according to reports reaching constitutionalist officers here. It is reported some of the oil wells and tanks are burning, and that a portion of the town is on fire. AH Americans, is it said, have been taken aboard American warships, but other foreigners are scattered about the oil fields. It was in this section of the territory the United States suggested a neutral zone. By the light of the oil tanks, fired by stray shots, the rebel artillerymen hurled shot after shot from twenty heavy field guns in the strongly entrenched positions held by General Ignacio Morelos Zarangoza, the federal commander, in the center of the town, sweeping the breastworks with a hail of Shrapnel, in an effort to open the way for a dash by General Gonzale’s infantry. For the first time In the fighting between the men of Huerta and Carranza, the constitutionalists were on equal terms with the federate in the matter of artillery. The twenty field guns captured by General GOnaales at Monterey, and placed in position before Tampico, have done tremendous execution/ the French shrapnel bursting with the utmost precision, in Charp contrast to the homemade .shells used by Villa, In his battles about Torreon. > Seven thousand constitutionalists under General Pedro Gonzales and Luis Caballero, are engaged. General Carranza, with his brigade, was thought to form a part of the forces attacking Tampico, but it was learned tonight it had decided he was needed in the campaign on Saltillo, and the Oarranza brigade was sent back to Monterey.
