Gen. Braulio Hernandez, formerly a
leader in both of the Mexican revolu-

practically an exile from his own
country.
At present General Hernandez is at
outs both with the government under
Madero, which has had him indicted
on a charge Of conspiracy, and with
Orozco, the revolutionary leader.
''The revolution is not separate
one from that which made Madero
president" he said. "But Madero be-
trayed the trust of the people after
becoming president by allying himself
with the wealthy class and the corpo-

my call the people arose to demand
what they expected from the revolu-

defeated Miss Marion Hollns, the West

Although Miss Hollins had entered this
tournament practically unknown, the easy
manner in which she had won most OF her
matches and the length Of her game mao
gained her a host Of admirers Through
out the week her golf had been Of the kind
that wins in almost any company. on the
other hand. Mrs. Earle. who started 81
badly on qualifying day as 10 barely make
the chosen sixteen. improved steadily with
each succeeding round.
Those who had said that Miss Hollins
had no nerves were inclined to change their
opinions after yesterdays match. POSI-
bly, the Westbrook player had expected "a
outdrive her opponent by the same wide
margins that she had the others. At any
rate, Mrs Earle got unexpected distance
from the tee. and this may have started
the other pressing. IT was also noticed
that she was overswinging. and this APP
piled even to the approaches.
so wild was Miss Hollins with her wood
that she found traps yesterday that she
had never seen before. Her short game
also faltered at times. and she made her
mashie shots in an uncertain sort OF way
quite the reverse Of the other, whose iron
shots were generally on the line.
At the first hole Miss Hollins. after a
drive near the trees failed utterly. finally
got into the brook on her fourth shot
She never had a chance thereafter, as
Mrs Earle got home with two good shots
and got a T. After losing the second hole
through more bad play Miss Holins be-
came hopelessly bunkered at the third
where FIVE shots were wasted In the sand
Tho only holes she won were the fourth
fifth and tenth.
Mrs. Earle went out IN 20 and stood up
Beginning with the eleventh. she won -four
straight and the match. Toward the END

chances she might. have had by weak put

last hole Of the match. Miss Hollins misset
