NASHVILLE TEAM
 PROVES SCRAPPY
GENERAL MELEE AT ATHLETIC CLUB LAST NIGHT IN WHICH MANY EYES WERE BLACK FINED AND CLOSED

The basketball game at the Athletic club last night added new sensation and an entirely unexpected one in the shape of a veritable battle. Two eyes were closed up, teeth knocked loose. wrists sprained and for about five minutes fists heY in every direction. sFrr rwpn7i es
 The storm broke toward the last of the first half, when Eugene Lockhart of the Nashville team was seen to step up to Rabbit" Wharton, whose face was turned in the other direction, and hit him . powerful lick with his fist across the eye The ball was out of bounds, and the spectators could see no reason for Lockhart's sudden fit of anger although = LocKhart claimed that Wharton struck him in the scramble just preceding. Wharton had turned away, when the big giant from Nashville toppled him ovSf like reed in the wind.
 Then began the fight. Both teams mixed up. Some were trying to stop trouble. Others were making it. Lockhart went wild, mad and possibly crazy.
 up. Some were trying to stop trouble.
 The spectators rushed on the floor in an effort to calm the frenzied fel- low. He declares that he thought they were trying to kill him. He proceeded to fight the whole crowd and right ably did he battle. Several spectators are nursing bruised faces as re- suit.
 Finally six or seven men managed to get him in hand and carried him bodily off the floor No sooner was he released than back he rushed with the same furor, making this time for Secretary Harry Miles, and again he had to be carried from the ring"
 With this one exception it was a beautiful game of basketball. The Nashville team Is made up of stars, everyone, but they had no team work last night, and the strength and coach- ing of the locals showed up to good advantage. While Nashville "held on' the club passed all round them and made number of exceptional plays. It is to be said 10 the credit of the locals that they played a clean game. Referee Anderson gave the visitors all the best of the deal. Here is the final

MEXICAN REVOLT
 IS GUERRILLA WAR

Mexico City, February 13.-In the opinion of the state department officials the revolution in Mexico has degen- erated into a mere guerrilla warfare the so-called insurrectos being hope lessly divided with each would-be lead CT acting on his own initiative and without any commanding figure around whom they may rally.
 The main concern of the department at present is that some of these ire sponsible elements may fall into ways of mischief and be led into an infringe ment of the rights of American cit izens which is one explanation of the gathering of considerable number ot United States troops along the west ern end of the boundary line between California and Arizona on one side and Mexico on the other.
 So far the state department has re- ceived no official confirmation of re- ports of atrocities perpetrated on non- combatants by Mexican federal troops
 The leaders of the insurgent band, which is in possession of Mexicali, are expecting almost momentarily an at tack by the Mexican soldiers. Durin g the afternoon the insurgents cleared Mexicali of all visitors. Many persons have gathered along the international line, expecting to witness a battle.
 General Navarro is reported in dis patches from Chihuahua today to have advanced to Lucerne. a short distance beyond Ahumada.
 Washington, February 13.-America n troops will be massed along the Mex ican border opposite Mexicali, which has been captured by the insurrectos, in order to sec thai the interests of the United States are protected and its neutrality preserved

Carr's grocery (where I have been weighing in" every day) I tipped the beam at an even 200 pounds. there wasn't a hair either way. That 8 f1fty-seyen pounds in nine weeks, or about six pounds a week. Now, Professor, I want your advice be- fore going any further. Do you think I am re- ducing too fast? I wanted to go to about 1S0 or 1S5, but as I am feeling so good now, may be I had better not take off more than five or six pounds.

The .Austin Statesman of February 1 has the following to say of Miss Ana nias." the new comedy selected for Ade- laide Thurston by George M.

Since the press agent reg ularly halls every new play his star chooses as the best she has had, he de- serves no credit for having guessed it right in the case of Miss Adelaide Thurs toms new play, Miss Ananias.' The main fact is that he did guess it rightly

Reforms for City

Atlanta's city council has been in re- formatory mood of late.
 One thing that brought 1t about was the search after more money. but there were also other things.
 The city has decided to frown upon nepotism. In this 1t is following in the trail of the park beard It was found that certain members of the park board had been getting good jobs for their rela- lives. That. however. was about the only graft they had in 1t.
 But the park board decided to put c stop to 1t. The member who introduces the resolution was rampant. He wanted to make 1t sweeping The next time the board met he wanted to except from the resolution certain department; 1t was found he suddenly remembered he had a cousin who was employed in that depart ment But the board was obdurate and the resolution went through without ex- ception.
 Now the mayor has taken the matter UT and Is sinsisting not only on the non employment of relatives by boards and city officials, but also upon looping of all unnecessary employees.
 Another reform the city council has tust put through is the abolition of the ward doctor system. Half a dozen city physicians, most of whom have held their jobs through politics for some years. are thus thrown out forthwith, and in their stead there are to be three physicians. henceforth, who are to give their entire time to the city's charitable work. Two of these are to be selected by the Grady hospital medical board and one by the city prison committee. They are to be paid $500 year each where formerly the city physicians received from $6oO to seo0. Much trouble was experienced with the ward doctor system. owing largely to the fact that they spent so little time in their offices and patients were frequently neglected.
