REOTBEI.fi ER, INDIANA, MONDAY. JUNE 8, 1814.

MADE SURRENDER TO U. S. ARMY TEAM

Uncle Sam’s Regulars Took Athletics to a 10 to 1 Cleaning— Tine Exhibition. “The old flag never touched the ground, boys, The old flag never touched the ground; ; , > It’s been in many a fix since Seventeen seventy-six, But the old flag never touched the ground.” AH arms of the service Were involved in the bombardment at Riverside Athletics Park Sunday afternoon when the United States Army baseball team took the Athletics to the flyst defeat of the year to the tune of 10 to 1. It was a real ball game. The army team is probably the beet aggregation of ball players that ever visited this city, and they had our team outclassed; not so much In Individual play, but they were trained and coached right up to the minute and they put the game in -their haversacks the first skirmish and the khaki laddies captured thebacon, the hard tack and the plaudits of the large crowd. Aside from a few 'bobbles which the locals made In the heat of the battle the game was spectacular and showed that the home boys have some fine ball material and know the game but lack some in practica They pulled off three brilliant double plays, worked well in several pinches, but were compelled to surrender to the accurate fire of the enemy and managed to save a white wash on}y because Smith, the army catcher, was wounded by a foul tip and Watidley, who replaced him, had two passed balls and permitted Parks to cross the plate In the eighth Inning. In strict contrast to the game a week before; when the Athletics gave the dusky sons of the Sahara desert such a frightful beating, the Athletics had an uphdll fight, while the well trained soldiers from their rifle pits were able to pick off the local batters every time they hove in sight The* army marched and counter marched and after getting their infantry and cavalry well positioned in the early stages of the Conflict opened up their batteries in the middle stages and prepared for the complete victory they so wen earned. Short-fielder Fredericks in the seventh frame lighted the fuse for the big and planted a ten-pounder over the center garden fence find then circled the bases while our fielders were trying to locate the. whereabouts of the artillery. With the gameness that is characteristic the Athletics kept up a brave struggle until the last and while the defeat was decisive it has left no doubt that we have the making of a fine team and should be able to hold our own with any of the crack semi-pro teams that it is expected to schedule. " Throe double plays during the game showed a lot of class. The •first was from Hatton to flwarfaeell. the seeonsd from Clark to Wilcox to Swartzell to Wilcox. Another good play with crowded bases was the way Eldridge handled a fast grounder and out a runner down at the plate. Harold Clark made a fine running catch in center and Elder made one in left. It is probable that Lowell will be here next Sunday. Thetlno-up: U. S.

J. W. BECKMAN HAS PUBLISHED A BOOK

Rather “Jim” Has Written It, the Roycrofters Are the Publishers s —“The Touchstone.” James W. Beckman, son of J. C. Beckman, the earpenter, and brother of Delbert Beckman, has Just had published his book entitled “The Touchstone.” The book, which is a philosophy of life, is published by The Roycrofters at East Aurora, N. Y, which is sufficient to recommend it. Mr. Beckman is engaged as a cement salesman and has bis headquarters at Waterloo, lowa. He has been engaged in the preparation of his work, for some time and during his winter’s stay in Rensselaer devoted considerable time to working up his notes for his book. Mr. Beckman is a young* man with ideas.. He believes that every one should he healthy and can be if they will make a study of their needs and he has made this briief a factor in his book. He contends that life is too valuable to be flitted away idly, but that it should be so used as to return to the individual the best possible in mental and physical happiness. Jim is a genius and his book, which he permitted the writer to sketch before the rough spots had been smoothed down, is the product of conviction based upon his own experience. ' V - It contains only 160 pages and sells for $1.50. It is doubtless only the beginning of a literary life for him, and we_flope that he will find it so remunerative that be can quit sealing Portland cement, return to Renseslaer and establish his study here.

WAR RENEWAL WITH HUERTA LOOKS NEAR

Mediation Seems to Have Tailed and Dictator Prepares to Blockade Port of Tampico. Dispatches from Washington sound very warlike again today and there is more apparent indication of trouble with Mexico than at any former time. Huerta has notified the powers of the world that he has directed his gunboats at Tampico to blockade that port and prevent the landing of arms for the constitutionalists. The United States fleet is under orders to keep the port open and to prevent the gunbwits from interfering with the docking of the steamship Antilla, which is approaching Tampico with a cargo of war munitions. There was an understanding between Huerta and the United States with the A. B. C. mediators -that no munitions of war were to be shipped to either faction in Mexico. The Antilla carries arms and ammunition from New York, and Huerta accuses the United States with bad faith. The carrying out of the order to blockade the port by Huerta’s gunboats is quite certain to cause the ships of the U- S. navy to use force in keeping the port open and create war. Of grave concern, also, Is the attitude of the constitutionalists toward the policy of the United States. Carranza has resented the -presence of American soldiers on Mexican soil. He fears that should the United States decide on an advance to Mexico City, it would serve to block the advance he has so well under way. The mediation program is receiving a severe jolt and abrupt ending seems quite sure at this time.
