Rebel Mediators Silent.


 El Paso, Texas, July S.-The Car ranza-Villa mediators at Torreon re- mained silent today regarding the negotiations to avoid a split among consttutionalist leader
 Robert Pesqueira, Carranza's confi- dential agent, tonight sent a tele- gram to General Villa in which he said:
 "l sincerely trust that you and MT. Carranza have become acquainted with the imposters connected with inc constitutionalist cause and that you will call for their resignations." In the meantime the movement of Villas troops toward the north con tinued. This was explained by the statement that the United States and certain foreign governments had brought strong pressure that Villa must not be the first to reach Mex leo City.
 If Guadalajara is taken by Obre- eon's troops. it is said, they would not be strong enough to attack Mex leo City unassisted, but they could enter the national capital if the Huerta government collapsed. This would prevent Villa from entering Mexico City first, and possibly form ing an alliance with the Zapata guerilla troops of southern Mexico.

Birthday of Eddie HanIon,
 Great Little Near-C Champion

Many great boxers have been de- prived by tough luck and bad man agement of the championship crowns to which their qualifications entitled them, but the greatest near-champion Of all was probably Eddie Hanlon, of San Francisco just twenty-nine years ago, come tomorrow, Oct. ?, 1885, And it was six years ago yesterday since his pugi1istic career ended with a defeat at the hands of Owen Mo ran, the little Britisher in a twenty round bout in San Francisco At twenty-three, when he should have been at his fighting best. he was a. has-ben, the wreck of shattered hopes. Charles Walter Han1on, to give him the name conferred upon him by his parents came of Irish-American stock He was only a school boy. scarcely out of knee pants, when he entered the ring Only a ewesdays after his fifteenth birthday he fought that other famous Native Son, Abe AttelI but lost the decision. A lit tie later he defeated Frankie Neil in two battles. At seventeen he fought Abe AttelI again, and held the clever Hebrew to draw in a fast and fu-. rious twenty-round contest. Within a month he met Young Corbett, the featherw weight champion, over the same distance, and held him to- a draw. He then fought Benny Yanger the Italian 'Tipton Slasher," in two
 
 ending in g. draw, and the second in victory for the Native Son. The San Francisco fans became Han1on crazy and no wonder, for Eddie apparently had everything that a boxer should have, and a little bit more. They saw in Hanlon the future lightweight champion of the world. lie fought with a. crouch that made it almost l impossible for the other fellow to reach him without leaving himself ex- posed to one of Eddies terrible body blows. But Eddie was rushed too fast. He was only a kid, and the l long battles with the stars of the game put too much of a strain on his vitality He fought Young Corbett a second time, and lost. In 1904 he knocked out Kid Broad, but was him 1 self put away by Battling Nelson and defeated by Terry McGovern. In 1 1905 he came back and whipped Young Corbett and fought a draw l with Aurelio Herrera, but lost to Kid Herman. In 1906 Dick Hyland knocked him out in the hoodoo thir- l teenth, ahd two years later Moran put l the finishing touches on Eddie's blast ed ring career. Cradle-snatching l was responsible for his failure to reach the goal.
