THOSE "soLDiERs OF Fortune"

THOSE "soLDiERs OF Fortune"
Kansas City Journal-Much is
heard at this time of the mistreatment
LOT American citizens In connection
with the Mexican embroglio, but not
quite so much about the mistreatment
OF the Mexican government by citizens
of the United States. Yet the truth is
that the so.called soldiers of fortune"
who are In the ranks OF the insurrectos
are pursuing the most unpatriotic
and inexcusable course that could be
conceived, precipitating of their own
volition conditions replete with dan
ger to the peaceful relations existing
between this country and a friendly
power.
There does not appear to be sin
gle SUFFICIENT reason for any Amer
ican citizen to array himself against
the Mexican government and it is the
merest jingoism to grow, righteously
indignant when American guerrillas
are captured under conditions which
they have foolishly and recklessly
brought upon themselves. II these
soldiers Of fortune could fight in
the Mexican army they probably
would do so. They belong to the
class "spoiling for fight but there
is no place for them in the ranks Of
the Diaz troops SO they gravitate into
the motely armies" OF the insur-
rectos, instead Of staying on this side
of the Rio Grande where they prop
|erly belong.
Americans do not relish the thought
of American citizens being shot by
the Mexican government, but the cold
hard fact remains that these American
troops" are arrayed unequtvocaiiy
against all the theories and facts OF
international law and are amenable to
any criminal or martial law that pre-
scribes punishment for armed resis-
lance to organized and constituted
authority. 1t is idle to say that these
men have any legal rights In the mat
ter or any standing in court any
more than though they had committed
any other recognized crime in a for
eign country. tits equally idle to say
that 1t is the duty of this country to
"inyade'' Mexico or intimidate it in
any manner because Americans guilty
Of fragrant breaches Of all civilized
law have been captured IN their
crime. They took their chance and
they should take their medicine !"
II. diplomatic pressure secures for
them lighter punishment than the
outraged law provides, it will be more
than they really deserve, no matter
how ardently Americans generally
may desire that this shall be brought
about. .,
The American soldier, of fortune"
are guilty of double offense. They
are actual invaders of q foreign ma
ton, voluntarily jeopardizing their own
lives and liberty. That Is their Of
Tense against Mexico. But they are
also 1eopardizing the relations be-
tween this country and a friendly ma
ton, and there ought to be some way
Is punish them for this offense against
their own country.

In weather that was more fitted for
football than baseball the American Sc
curity and Trust Company nine defeated
the Georgetown varsity team on George
town Field, to 2, in the second game Of
the series.
Rawlings did the box work for the
Bankers, and held the heavy hitting Blue
and Gray nine to four scattered hits in
as many innings. The only man on the
Georgetown team to connect with more
than a lone bfngie was Frey. who
smacked out a triple in the second, but
died on third. as the necessary hit was
not forthcoming Rawlings was a trifle
wild, and several times showed signs of
blowing up, but when a hit meant a run
he frightened up and twirled gilt-edge
ball
Mitchell started the twiriing for the
Blue and Gray nine, and did fairly well
until the third session, when Riddle poled
one of his high inshoots to the main
gate for a three-bagger. and scored when
Furey dropped the throw home. Balzer
then took up the box work and held the
Bankers scoreless in his first inning on
the slab, out with two down in the fifth.
an error by Carrigan, Vests triple to
the right field stands, and a single by
Boykin netted The trust company boys
two more tallies.
In the seventh a screaming double to
left by ''Inky'' Davis, and Sitterding's
error caused another tally to be credited
to the Bankers. Balzer was replaced in
the eighth by Lynch, who Jared fairly
well in that inning. In the ninth Riddle
led off with double to left, followed by
a long ri n ste hN-C
Rawlings. which carried him over the
Pan, preceded by Riddle. This ended
the scoring for the trust company boys.
Rawlings Twirls Good Game.
Rawlings held the Hilltoppers safe untiI
the third, when two bases on balls, a
sacrifice Init. and some slow thinking on
the part of Rawlings enabled George
town to score their first run The Hill
toppers did not cross the pan again until
the fifth. when two free passes to first
and a fielder's choice gave them their
second and final tally.
Furey caught an exceptionally good
game, besides smackins out three of the
four hits credited TO his team. Capt Sit
terding was off color in the field, allow
ing two drives to get through him that
should have been easy outs. Carrigan
an outnelder, VINO Is being tr1ed on first
by Coach Springman showed his inexperi-
ence at the station but with proper
coaching should develop q good man for
the Blue and Gray nine.
'Inky" Davis played a great game IN
the field, handling his three difficult
chances in major league style, besides
out one of Smoke Balzer's
speed balls for a two-Sacker. Coach
Sprigman would have done well to have
retained this former Business High School
star for his third sack, or, in fact, any
infield position owing to his hitting ability.
West caught good game for the Bank
ers, not a single varsity base puloiner
getting away with a stolen base.
