21O ARE MASSACRED IN
SMALL MEXICAN TOWN
Slaughter Begun In JaII-Secretary OF
Interior Promises Punishment
For All Who Took Hand.

City Of Mexico, Aug. 1.-TWO hun
dred and ten residents of the little
town of Puruandiro, Michoacan, at
least half of whom were boys, were
slaughtered at the behest of the jefe
politico in June, according to a story
brought to the City Of Mexico by a
commission which called upon the
minister of the interior asking for
guarantees.
Members OF the commission de-
clared the jefe politico caused to be
posted on the gate Of the town GENE
terry list of the dead. which was add
ed to from time to time.
The sacrifice was the price exacted
by the jefe politico for the sacking OF
the town which had occurred several
weeks before the rebels.
The jefe politico was powerless te
resist the attack and, in retaliation
| ordered the slaughter, processing tc
believe that in killing the people be
was Furnishing the rebels.
The butchery began In the Jail
where all the prisoners were killed b!
the guards Then citizens were butch
cred. The people became so terror
stricken they refused to discuss 1t
and for this reason 1t was not called
to the attention Of the federal author
| tiles until now.
The minister Of the interior de
clared the slaughter the most afro
cious in the history of the republic
and those responsible for it will b
severely punished"

discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with q
good quantity Of rich cream.
In a few days my condition
changed In a remarkable way. and
began to have q strength that l had
never been possessed OF before, q
vigor of body and poise OF mind that
amazed me. It was entirely new In
my experience.
"My former attacks OF indigestion
had been accompanied by heat fiashess
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells OF dizziness,
rush OF blood to the head and neural
gic pains In the chest
Since using Grape-Nuts alone Tor
breakfast I have been free from these
troubles, except at times when 1 nave

BECKER AND BUES ARE
 AFTER JACK MURRAY'S JOB

IT was something of a coincidence that the same mail that brought Jack Murray's signed contract to Manager McGraw of the Giants, should also car ry the contracts of Bea-s Becker and Arthur Bues, the two younger men who propose to jar Pink loose rom his job in right field.
 McCTraw is not in the habit of mak- ing his plans public until 1t is good policy to do so, but 1t Is very nearly certain that he will stand pat on his champions with one possible eXcep- tion-right field.
 The fnfield will remain as it finished the 1911 campaign. The battery de partments vii be ,tias anehapged ar es eSeep6 t7o6 new pitchers. Fred Snodgrass and, Josh Devore are fairly certain of hold ing their places in center and left fields, respectively.
 But Murray was such an awful dis appointment in the worlds series that 1t is almost probable that he will be replaced by a younger man if sue cessor can be found for him.
 Reol<er and Rues are the leading candidates, with the odds rather ia voring the latter, If he can hit any thing like as well in the National Lea gue as he did in the Northwestern last season, when he grabbed unto himself a S53 average, the same being made possible by slugging propensi- ties unequalled by any other player in
 Becker has been with the club two years, and during that time has never been able to break in as regu ar. He has been used frequently as a club to hold over Murray's head, but has never quite forced him out.
 Last year he managed to break into ffty-fve games, hitting, .262, not half bad for a man who never could get all the practice he needed.
 Becker is just as good a fielder as Murray and almost as fast when he gets on the bases. He may not show as fine judgment sometimes as his side partner, bat work would probably remedy that defect.
 For a time last spring it looked as though nothing cou keep h m off add BECKER-SPORTS

Edmund Lamy Now
 Champion Skater
Beats Morris Wood Who Has
 Held Title For Four Years

Saranac Lake. N. J., Feb. Ed mund Lamy, Saranac Lake, yesterday won the professional skating cham pionship of the world from Morris Wood. the New Yorker who had held the laurels for four years. As on yesterday, Lamy won two of the three schedu' ed events.
 Every contest was a thriller and fought out to the last bitter inch. But the two-mile competition was by far the most exciting of the day indeed, one of the most sensational of all local history. Lamy, the favorite. came very near losing out as a re- suit of spill in the stretch. Wood, too, fell, and the pair slid over the finish line side by side. Lamy broke the tape by raising his arm as he glidAd under it. The time was 6:55 2-5
 IT. all three events inches separated the competitors at the finish. Wood led all the way in the quarter mile. in 39 3-5 seconds, by far the fastest time shown in the two days Lamy closed a nine-foot gap on the stretch, but that was not quite enough.
 Lamy's generalship won the half mile. in 1:57 1-5 Alternating with Wood at setting the pace, the Sara nae hoy suddenly shot out on the third lap and gained thirty feet on Wood before the latter awoke to the situation. In the fifth and last lap Wood began to rapidly overhaul the leader, but the effort of making up the lost distance had told so heavily on his reserve strength that he failed in the final Spurt.
