man in town, who has Just accepted
a position with the Bowman Hotel
will appear m the cage behind the bat.
while Hans Collins will hover around
the initial sack. Ward Is a player of
considerable experience and Is credit
ed with considerable reputation as a
catcher. Two years ago he wore a
Walla Walla uniform until he suffered
a fractured leg, and since that time
hasbeen around Dayton.
Manager Prazier and the entire
team feel that the fate of the league
penant rests upon the game tomor
row, and each aggregation will make
a supreme effort to chalk up a win
ning margin. Although Weston lost
to Athena yesterday, that defeat does
not affect the percentage column as
the game was not one of the sched
uled. To the absence of the redoubt
able . Keefe at the receiving end of
the battery was largely due the fail

Washington, May 21. Declaring the
proposed tariff commission a plan to
postpone the people's verdict on the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, and de
nouncing the encroachment of the ex
ecutive upon the legislative branch of
the government, Champ Clark today
in jne nouse sounded the democratic
keynote of the coming congressional
campaign. Clark said the proposed
appropriation of a quarter million of
dollars annually for the support of a
commission was "another desperate
attempt to hoodwink, the voters." He
said. "The creation of such a commis
sion would be another startling illus
tration of how far the legislative
branch Has surrendered to the execu
tive branch. The power of congress
has steadily dwindled for a quarter of
a century, while the executive amounts
to imperial autocratic proportions."
To the republicans he shouted, "You'll
received the bloodiest licking you have
had since 1892."
