READY TO RESIST u S. ARMY SAYS MEXICAN OFFICIAL

the regular army intervention in Mexico
will meet such a united nation as has
not existed since the French and their
Austrian usurper, Macmillan. were
driven from the republic. Possibly you
have noticed how the Constitutionalist
forces which have been attacking Tam
pico drew Off and ceased all hostilities

ing arrival Of the Atlantic fleet from
the United States. This is what will
happen all over Mexico.
Gen. CarranZa. Gen. villa. Gen.
Obregon, Gen Angeles and all the other
leaders OF the revolution will offer their
troops to whichever Federal garrison
they may he closest and the united
forces will he at the disposal OF the
central government in Mexico city. Our
entity as a nation is above all internal
quarrels.

he was in Sinaloa few months ago.

Ienge round for the Achells Cup at the

Richard Norris Williams. the challenger,
defeated Theodore R. Peu. the holder. by
the score Of 81 80. 90. So 6-3. Pell had
two legs Tailed for the cup and It was
hard on him to just miss another win
and its permanent ownership. As II WAS.
PeII never played a better game In his
life, and the TACT that the match went to
FIVE sets Is evidence that he made Will
Jams work for every ace he scored.
There was a large gallery present
Williams won the first set. but the crowd
could hardly believe their eyesight when
PelI ripped out the next two and the
holder was in the lead at the intermis-
sion by . sets to J.
Then Williams began to play careful
tennis. and he crept up TO the net for his
characteristic kills. He made a series OF
angle shots to the corners which brought
forth the admiration of the sharps pres
ent. The fact that Williams won the
last two sets with exactly the same score
meant that when II was necessary the
young international was equal TO the
task. The win gives Williams his FIRST
leg on the cup.

New York, July l&-Hughie Jennings
fears were sroundless- The world tour
list ball players seem to have benefited
by their jaunt throus:h foreign lands, in
stead Of harmed by the continuous ball
playing. 50
Hughie. early in the spring. felt sure
that the continuous playing" would put
the dinger on the efforts Of the stars
during the regular 1914 season. And early
In the season II did look as IL Hughie
was right, because some Of the players
who were on the tour were far below
their normal form. But they have round
ed to and now are breeZing along at even
q faster clip than In other years.
Iris Speaker. OF the Red Sox got away
to bad start this year in the batting
line. but about q month ago he began
clubbing them out with all his old-time
skill. and Iris now is wen over the 800
mark. The same is true Of Larry Doyle.
for the first six weeks, but since then
has been hitting 'em to all sections of
the field and fielding and running in q
sensational manner.
"wahoo Sam Crawford. who labors
for Hughie. is batting over his 1913 mark,
is fielding in brilliant style and running
bases like a ten-second athlete. To date
the husky Samuel has pilfered something
like thirty sacks. against sixteen or 50
for the entire 1913 season Sam has been
around the go mark in batting all sea-
son. against an average OF .316 for last
year.
Probably the most surprising improve
ment has been shown by Steve Evans,
the comedian outhelder. When Steve left
with the tourists 1t was reported that
the 81. Louis Cardinals would shunt him
on to q minor league when he got back.
Steve can't hit worth a darn and he's
slowing up" they said about Steve.
When Steve returned these reports
reached him. and without waiting to fnd
out IL they were true, Steve leaped into
the waiting arms Of the Federal
Leaguers.
Just as soon as they pried the lid on
the Federal League season. Steve. in a
Brooklyn uniform. began to hit like a
iend and he hasn't stopped Steve is
poking them for an average that fiuctu-
ates between 80 and 80 and nearly all
Of his drives have been solid hits. many
OF them for homers. triples and two
baEgers.
Some there are who may try to beIit-
tie Steve's batting record by claiming
that in going up against the Federal
League pitchers he is hitting only
minor league pitching" But such an
argument is riddled by the fact that there
are scores OF other former stars OF the
two organized leagues now in the Fed
eral line-ups and they are not batting
any better. il as well. as they did last
year.
