In the Lynch circuit the Eastern teams began another invasion of the West and the Phillies were able to climb a little nearer the top through winning five games against a single defeat while Chicago was forcing the Giants to split a four game series. While Dooin's team as a matter of fact, made but ten point gain owing to the Giants continued good play ing. the weeks showing of the Phila- delphia club indicated it's return to early season form, and gave it's fol- lowers reason to hope that through the regeneration the New York's lead might be worn down. But the Giants have rot given recent proof that slump is impending-and a slump by McGraWs men appears to be Phila- delphia's $ one hope no matter how consistently good the playing of the Quaker team may be from now un- til October.

SENDS NEWS OF
MEXICAN TROUBLE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
SMYRNA, Del, May Sowing to
delayed mails in Mexico, on account
of the unsettled condition of The
country, information has only recent
ly been received of the heroism of
James Shearer Turner, formerly of
Smyrna, and the son of Mrs. Mary p.
X. Turner, near town. Mr.. Turner is
employed as an engineer by the
American Smelling Company at the
Trio general mines at San Lusi,
Potoisi, Mexico.
Late in February these mines we're
attacked by bandits, and Mr.. Turner
and the miners, partly English and
partly American, defended the prap-
erty to the best of their ability, and
several bandits we're killed in the
battle, and the miners then escaped to
Charcas.
On the following day these men,
sixteen in number, returned 10 the
mines to rescue some men, women
and children, who we're besieged in a
neighhoring church. The Mexican
Herald, of Mexico, thus tells the story
of the rescue and of the appreciation
accorded to the rescuers:
Failing to secure the promised
State troops u. S. Consul w. l.. Bon
ney secured the cooperation of the
British vice-counsel, and obtained the
immediate disposition of a train, and
furnished the sixteen volunteers with
arms from the consulate, for the ex-
pedition.
"The. party was organized. armed
and despatched, and accomplished the
rescue within ten hours, passing
through 60 miles of revolutionary
country. and returned running over
doubtful track, at breakneck speed.
"On the return trip the women and
children we're placed in a steel coal
car No headlights we're put out and
no orders were asked"
One of the last official acts Of Sec
retary of State p c. Knox was the
written acknowledgement of the gal
liant conduct of these American and
British volunteers.
The service performed by the res
cue party is described by the secre-
tary OF State as being worthy of the
highest praise.
