EDWARD Franklin ("Pop") Geers, the
noted harness driver and trainer,
would rather engage in a fox hunt
than ride in the grand circuit races.
He admitted this much in the course
of an interview.
"Yes, horse racing is the most excit-
ing sport in the world" said Geers,
"but for the real thriller give me a
fox hunt. I believe there is more
pleasure to be obtained in chasing the
elusive little animals than in anything
else of which know"
However, Pop" is not a traitor to
his first love, the race track He still

GOOD-BY TO ENGLISH GAME
University of Southern California Last
School on Coast to Return to
Rugby of American Type.

Since a reform wave struck Ameri-
number of American colleges have
tried substituting the English type
of rugby for the college game. The
stronghold of the English importation
has been among institutions along the
lower Pacific coast.
AS a consequence they were heard
Of in an athletic way only in the
spring track games. Now there is a
strong tendency on the coast to get
rid of the alien sport. The University
of Southern California is the last
school to announce return to rugby
of the American type. The athletic
management characteriZes the English
sport as "a comparatively monoton-
Gus game" and describes it as much
rougher than the college variety.
The trouble seems to lie in trying
to substitute purely foreign sport for
one that has been developed under
American conditions. Games are nee
essarily reflection of the character of
a people, and the English character is
somewhat different from that of the
American. AS long as American foot
ball was busy reforming itself there
was chance for the British importa-
tion. Now that the great autumn
sport Of the colleges has been trimmed
of the "old army game" brutalities it
looks like good-by to the English va
riety.

with crash of self-emphasis which
showed plainly enough that he was not

that we're getting into deep water, be-
cause she knows more about the FIRMS
finances that we do. And, anyway
after Is years service we couldn't fire
her without real reason"
Then let her stay" said Black with
resignation.
''But she's so abominably of5cious,

tion to become a controlling influence
in it before she reached middle age.
All her life was bound up with Mob
BILE & Black. She became first steno-
grapher, then private secretary to Mob
BILE and Black successfully, then as
sistant manager. From that post she
was nominally promoted to business
director, being really shunted into a
sinecure. In vain. Miss Gregory re-
fused to stay put, and created a new
department of more Importance than
any other.
This was an excellent thing for the
firm, but Miss Gregory acted as if she
was the firm. "She won't let us have
a run for our money" was the way
Mobile pathetically put it.
Mr.. Black would like to see you,
Miss Gregory" said the head office boy
deferentially.
Miss Gregory went into Mr. Black 8

at hiIp with a direct gaze which con

That the Presidents daughter is
placing not only her trousseau order,

nor Wilson and Mr.. McAdoo are for a
noon ceremony and an early departure
from Washington for some unknown

ticers in Juarez awaited news from
the battlefield.
The last reports yesterday We're that
General Monclovio Herrera had cut
his way from the eastern side of Tor

the bull ring on the north; that Cen

We're making a final stand in the de-
fenses on the west side.
An unconfirmed rumor at midnight
had it that the rebels had the hill
known as Cerro De La Cruz, an i'm
portant defense, but verification was
lacking to-day.
Latest advices from both Villa and
newspaper correspondents indicated
that the rebels had carried their as
sault into the very heart of Torreon
and that the federals were hard
pressed. AT that time it was General
Herrera's forces of 1000 men who
were reported to have entered the
town from the east, and the counter
march of General Villa into Torreon
from the north was expected to throw
the federals under General Refugio
NeiaSco into utter rout.
Villa Had $4,000 Men
No military official in Juarez to-day
doubts that the battle which General
Villa has waged against Gomez
Palacio, now his, and Torreon, has
been the most desperate of any en-
gagement OF this or any other revolu-
tionary movement in Mexico. Gen
eral Villa went to the front with 49,

a vigorous, smashing assault against
any resistance the federals might Of

federals fought flercely and that the
loss in dead and wounded on both
sides was enormous. Lack of hos
pital facilities, the heat and the desert
wind and the four days of strenuous,
practically constant fighting under the
virile and tenacious leadership of
"Pancho" Villa We're believed to have
amassed a large casualty list.

Villa himself has become a hero.

Clark of Missouri will probably forfeit
the speakership as a penalty for his
temerity in showing his teeth to the

They believe the administration forces
will bend their energies from this
time forth to undo Mr.. Clark.
Anger fills the hearts of the oppos-
ing leaders on the tolls question. For
n year or more now the Democrats
have given a superb exhibition of
party solidarity. From time to time
radicals have shown signs of restless
ness over the restraints imposed by
the man in the White House but on
all such occasions they have been
held in check by the influence of
Leader Underwood and Mr. Clark.
On the tolls question Messrs. I'm
derwood and Clark were followed Off

their colleagues. Most of these men
we're influenced by the platform dec
