Washinston, April 6.—John D

In the third, the baloon ascended
with two men down when Whita
ker hit a line drive to center. Clark
ran up and tho ball sailed over his
head. After he recovered from nis
daze and ran for the ball, Whitaker
was rounding second toward third.
Then he began the melee and er
rors and a continuation of lilts net
ted nine runs, each player on the
team getting exactly one run. Clark,
whose mlsjudgment started tn swat-
fest, went In to pitch and held the
Valdostans fairly well In check. They
got three more ofT his delivery in
the fourth and were shut ojt for the
. remainder of the nine.
The locals put up the most ragged
contest of the season, the third and
short positions fielding especially
slow. ‘Duncan and Mack starred in
the fielding, the former at first
showing up splendidly, all during
the game. The locals couldn’t hit
the ball consistently and Valdosta’s
school lads fielded well and hit al
most at will.
This is Thomasvllle’s third loss In
the league, having won one game
from Moultrie, lost one to Tifton
and two to Valdosta.
The box score Is as follows:
Manager Morse will be ready to
begin his weeding out by the middle
of next week. Of course he is going
to get a good line on every man who
.reports here, but just as soon as he
realizes that a player is not fast
enough for this.league he is going
to release him, both In order to save
expenses and in justice to the player,
who will have time to seek another
Job elsewhere. The manager ex
presses himself as being well satis
fied with the recruits who have ex
ported. Some of them are real classy
ball players, apd may yet win the
positions against the old players.—

PRESIDENT’S ATTITUDE
PLAYED IMPORTANT PART.
Washington, April 4.—It was an
nounced today that Winthrop M.
Daniels, whose nomination was con
firmed, after a hard fight yesterday,
as a member of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, had asked the
President to withdraw his nomina
tion, when opposition to his confir
mation developed, but the President
refused to do so.
White House officials today denied
the reports that the President had
expressed to certain Senators his
own views on the physical valuation
of railroads. They said he had
merely insisted that Daniels would
be a valuable man on the Commis
sion for all classes of business com
ing before it. *
The opposition to Daniels was
based on his decisions In certain
public utility cases In New Jorsey.
There was some lively speculation
or directors
"In these days of diversified busi
ness Interests," he said, “the best
a director can do Is to appoint offi
cers and hold them responsible."
The young financier said that was
the attitude of the Rockefeller in
terests had taken In the Colorado
strike. He declared that the offi
cers of the company were held re-
sopnslble at all times, but be said
they would be removed at any time
If the directors thought their poli
cies were unwise. He said although
he was himself a director of the Col
orado company, he had not been
able to attend any of the ( meetings
of the bonrd in Denver.
When questioned by representa
tives ns to his lack of lnformaraa-
tlon about the strike conditions
there, he said, “If I thought I were
not conscientiously doing my duty,
I would resign at once. But my con
science entirely acquits me lc this
case."
