Madero. in his camp back in the mountains,
twenty odd miles south Of Guadalupe, Chi

which he declared the opportune time had
arrived for him to enter Mexico and that
he had entered TO stay with his soldiers
until the fight is won. He also made plain
his attitude on the liquor question. elections
in Mexico treatment Of trusts and Ameri-
cans, discussed Mexican nllteracy and other
matters The interview was obtained by
T. G. Turner and afterward read and APP

Austria, personal friend OF the Mexican
provisional president
or ultimate victory he expressed himself
as confident. his chief hope being based on
public sympathy. Ideals and liberty which
the rebels are fighting for cannot fail to
triumph, he said
There is the quality of our soldiers
aside from their spirit. only the large
cities are under absolute control Of the
government. Our men largely come from
the country. They are men who know how
to shoot and how to adjust themselves to
csmplife; how to fight.
Our tactics will be changed. We are
strong enough to rely more on mHssed
movements. with a more perfect unity Of
command. Before we met the enemy with
one of our men to ten of theirs; now we
will be able TO fight on more squal grounds
and fight our battles to definite con-
clusions."
Referring to his movements, he said;
I'm the United States it was best that
remain incognito until proper time I
merely waited until Il was decided by
the development Of affairs what should be
the strategic center. Then I entered the
field in company of my army. Now ! will
lead them"
OF the rebel fighting forces, he had this
to say: $50.
up to January 10 we had s. 400 in all
Mexico, armed and in the field OF these
$500 we're in the state OF Chihuahue Up
to January 2s the most recent estimate we

Austin May Be Able
to Help the Browns
Will Tend to Give the St. Louis Team
a Better Infield Than it Had
Last Year.

That indominitalc little bunch Of human
energy. James Pepper Austin formerly
OF Omaha. who has played third base for
the New York American League club with
success. has been traded to the ST. Louis
Americans for IIartzcll
The management OF the IIlghlanders be-
ilevcs that third base viii be we'll handled
this year or Austin wOuis not have been
sent 10 the Browns.
Hartzell has plsyed third for ST. Louis
and with some cleverness on the whole
he has not played the position with as
much accuracy and with the same ability
to cover ground as has been indicated by
Austin
While the skill OF Austin had been put
to tho test and well proved on more bccs-
sions than one. Il is pretty safe to say
that none Of his friends in New York ever
really saw the young mans ability 50 well
demonstrated last season as it was in the
post series season with the Giants
II is not necessary to state that his work
was so fast and of such certainty that Il
won admiration for him in more than one
quarter where he had been considered an
average player. Some Of the hot shot which
he handled In that series was handled so
we'll that Austin became a factor among
third basemen OF the American league.
He Is not a strong batter, yet he has i'm
proved since he has been in New York.
and more than once last year a timely hit
by the little fellow had favorable bear
ing on game in which the Hlghlanders
were concerned. His batting is something
which he can improve, and with his per-
sistence he is likely TO develop into cap
ital player for the st. Louis club which
assuredly needs strengthening
,l-
81. Louis club. It is rather certain that he
will play second for the Browns and with
Austin at third and Wallace at short ST.
Louis will enter the race OF 1911 better
equipped than when the season began In
1910.
