RYAN BOUGHT BY

Youngsters Work Yesterday AT

tween Clarke and Scout Irwin.

d d - : l. =. = j
Arthur A. Irwin, scout for the New
York Americans. yesterday closed a
deal for the purchase of William Ryan,
of the Norfolk Club. The price paid
for the pitcher was not made pub
lie, Irwin saying that he was not ready
to give that out as yet. Ryan will be
delivered when the Virginia League
season closes.
Irwin has been watching Ryan work
all the week and has been very much
himself The shut-out he handed
Richmond yesterday clinched the argu-
ment in his favor, and last night Win
Clarke was persuaded to part with the
pitcher for a consideration.
Ryan has been with the Norfolk Club
for a little over three weeks, and In
that time he has pitched six games.
Four of the games have been shut
mum of hits Scout Irwin thinks that
he has great future before him, and
is tickled to death over the closing
OF the deal.
League during the early portion OF
the summer, and when the season in
that league ended he went to his home
in Baltimore. Win Clarke heard that
wired him to come to Norfolk at once.
He showed up and has been a strong
arm man ever since.
Yesterday was the last day Of the
season for the purchase Of players.
and the deal for Ryan was nosed in
ahead Of Father Time by few hours
only. Irwin wanted to see the boy
work out, however, and came to Rich
mond to see it. He was absolutely
satisfied.
A rather curious feature OF the game
yesterday was that Irwin saw two OF
his purchases playing against each
other. Revelle is slated for the New
York American job and Ryan was up
permost in 1rwin's mind. He stated
after the game that he didn't care
niue which won out. as one Of his met,
had to have the game. no matter what
happened. Ryan was the best card,
and the negotiations between Clark .
and Irwin. which had been practically
completed before, were closed. irwin
wired to New York last night that ne
had closed the deal.
With Ryan, Irwin has three men
from the Virginia League for New
York nextl8year. Revelle and Ryail
will join the pitching staff and Priest,
the phenomenal DanYille shortstop'
will join the infie1d.
The purchasing season being over
to-day, Scout Irwin will start on a
fishing trip after the game.this AFTER.

Raleigh, N. c., August lin the

sion there was an Investigation this

Fireman John Hodge. and the serious
injury Of Engineer Fleming, of the
passenger train. from Norfolk. d.
vision superintendent Watkins, Train
master Lewis, Local Agent Gregory
Cannon and Telegraph Operator Raney
were the principal witnesses.
The statement of Operator Raneyl
seems to present the direct cause Of
the accident from the viewpoint OF
the railroad company, Raney insisted
that Engineer Smith undertook to car
ry his engine from the yards out to.
the turn-table without an order for.
such run, electing to do this, and
take the risk, rather than wait in the.
yards during the time that the incom-
Ing passenger train was late He said
that Smith came to him soon after
the passenger train showed up to bo
late, and asked him II he had time to,
run out to the turn-table With the
engine, and that he told him he would
try and find out what the situation
was and let him know. Ihat was stne
last he heard from Engineer Smith,
he said, and 1t seemed that he had
taken the chances on his own initia-
| tive. with the fatal result.
Asked by Commissioner McNe1ll y.
Engineer Smith had been known to;
take such chances before. Operator
Raney's reply was that he underst ood
that he had: that on two or three oc.
casions his associates had warned him
about such risks, and he had replied.

FIGHT OCCURS BECAUSE GIRL
is DETAINED IN HOUSE AND
BROTHER DEMANDS RELEASE
UNITED PRESS LEASED wInn.l

Mount Kisko, N. Y, Nov 10
Two men are dead and several
wounded as the result OF pitched
battle between two parties of armed
men at Merritt's roadhouse, near
here, early today. The fight is sup
posed to have started over,a girl
whose brother believed she was held
prisoner in the road house and who
demanded her release.
The dead we're removed to the 10
cal morgue to await Identification.
The wounded. men are being cared
for by friends, and every effort is
being made to hide their identity.
The man who It is said led an at
tacking force on the resort when his
sister was not turned over to him Ia
ed Brewer. OF Chappaqua. Brewer
is missing since the fight.
Brewer Is said to have learned of,
his sisters plight Wednesday night
when he visited the roadhouse.
Habitues of the place elected him,
1t Is said, when he demanded that
she go home with him.
With the threat to Seturn and
"hurt somebody, Brewer left The
place, according TO information
learned by the authorities today.
Fearing that he would make good
his threat. the cabin was barricaded.
The attacking party arrived early to-
day and opened fire on the road
house. The shots were returned
from within and the fight continued
until the sheriff and his deputies ar
rived, when the attackers fed. One
OF the slain men is supposed to have
been a defender of the roadhouse,
and the other one OF the attacking
party.

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIhn.I

Austin, Tex, Nov. 19.-Governor
Campbell ordered today the entire
force OF Texas rangers to proceed to
the Mexican border to break up
armed bands OF Mexicans forming
there for the supposed invasion OF
Mexico. Governor Campbell directed
the rangers to arrest all who at
tempted to cross the border, on the
ground of a violation OF the neutral
ity law.
Rangers in Rock Springs, who have
been mobilized there for the purpose
OF preventing a clash between cow
boys and Mexicans believed to be
marching toward Rock Springs, left
early today for Del Rio and Eagle
Pass. other rangers are gathering
at San Antonio, to lie carried to the
border by railroad. Governor Camp
bell announced he would patrol every
section of the border between Texas
and Mexico.
The order followed the receipt of
advices from Washington, coupled
with confirmation from agents on the
boundary that armed bands of Mexi-
cans were gathering, and that Ameri-
can residents were In fear Of an in
vasion.
According to advices received from
Del Rio and Eagle Pass, more than
1000 Mexicans are encamped along
the Rio Grande, in bands Of 20 TO 100
Early last night these bands began
a concerted movement to cross the
river. Watchers on the American
side hastily spread the alarm, and
within short time ranchmen and
cowboys were gathered In small
groups awaiting the first hostile
move before advancing and attempt
ing to drive back the invaders.
Instead OF marching toward the
American towns. the Mexicans, ac-
cording TO the latest reports, began
concentrating, and It is believed as
soon as their organization Is perfect
ed they will recross the river and pro-
ceed toward Mexico City, being
ioined en- route by hundreds of Mex
leans from chihuahua and other Mex
lean towns.
