American side. Another man, who was found not guilty, was

SEIGE CONTINUED FOR EIGHTEEN DAYS
Chihuahua, March 18.—The seven hundred American resi­
dents here held a meeting today to consider plans for appeal­
ing to Diaz in view of putting an end to the war as soon as pos-
rible. Dr. Manuel Balboas, a prominent physician, already had
prepared a petition suggesting that if Diaz grants certain re­
forms to the people the war would quickly stop. The city has
been under seige practically eighteen days and the people’s
patience is becoming exhausted. Continued rumors that the
insurgents would attack the town have kept the people keyed
up to a high nervous tension.

Eugene will enter the baseball
field this year with an independent
team that, on paper, looks stronger
than any aggregation that ever flew
' the local colors. The baseball situa-
| tion is not well developed in the Wil­
lamette valley, but the present out­
look is this:
Eugene will have an
unusually good team; there will be
no Willamette valley league; Spring­
field wtit pTohabiy have no team; Al­
bany. Salem and Portland will have
teams to plaj- against Eugene, but
the season i > yet too early to prepare
a schedule. There appears to be more
baseball enthusiasm this year in Eu­
gene than for some time, and it is
possible that the Eugene merchants
may come forward and back a team
that will win laurels for the city. The
team will be under the old manage-
ment, in the hands of Jay McCor-
mick.
There is a host of material from
which a fast team may be selected.
The battery, which will be a strong
feature, will consist of Ferd Henkle
