CUT OFF THE WATER
Zapatista Is Making Trouble for Car

Washington, Sept. S.-Official dis
patches today telling of the cutting of
Mexico City's water supply for three
days, presumably by Zapatista bands,
concerned administration officials be-
cause they reflected the relentless ac-

unite in forming a strong central gov
eminent recognition by the United

force to quell the Zapata movement
The suggestion of the American gov

said will be accepted by Carranza.

Manager COOley's Nucleus for
Next Years Team.

Now that the clubs owned by Jack
Holland Of St. Joseph, Frank Isbell of
Des Moines and Pa Rourke of Omaha
have completed practically all of their
games at home, the three owners are
attempting to induce the other clubs of
the circuit to abandon the remainder
Of the Western League schedule.
The Omaha club has played all its
games scheduled at home, and the Des
Moines and st. Joseph clubs have but
four more to play. The three managers
now propose that the rest of the season
DE abandoned but other clubs, includ-
ing Denver. Topeka. Lincoln ana
Wichita, are making serious objection.
A M. Catlin. president of the Topeka
Baseball association, resents such a
proposition. In an interview today he
said: 1T is only a scheme of the
three owners to prevent losing money
by playing the remainder of the sea-
son on the road. Their clubs have but

that have been lost
See Mistake Too Late.
1T is simply case of those who
wanted the long schedule last spring,
seeing their mistake and selecting this
system as a method of avoiding a
chance to lose a lot of money.
If these three will agree to pro-
rate the travelling expenses Of all the
clubs In the league and recOmpense
the clubs that have completed their
games on the road, we may agree to
the proposition, but not under any
other conditions.
The National Baseball commission
would not permit such an outrage. If
We should agree to such a proposition,
we would get in more trouble than we
could get out of and probably all our
players would be declared free agents.
Then we would have to recruit entirely
new clubs for next year. There is
the Topeka club. We want to finish
the season.
