New York, March s.-Although the
English sport writers are loath to ad-
nit that baseball is superior to crick-
ct, they were quick to perceive and
praise the brilliant skill in the hand
ling of the ball and the excellent team
play of the Giants and White Sox in
the recent game played at London. In
fact, some of the writers were inclined
to the opinion that the play was too
mechanically perfect. One writer
states:
IF there is one drawback about
baseball (to the English eye) it is the
apparent hopelessness of any one ever
being able to make any score worthy
of mention against such scientifically
skillful playing-it is throwing, pure
and simple-and so tight a field.
The alertness, fine judgment and
the most precise throwing of the splen-
didly placed field seem to form an
almost impossible bar to the batsman

New British Subject Is
In Trouble in Mexico

Washington, March 8.--Another
British subject has gotten into trou-
BILE in the state of Chihuahua and the
state department has again been called
upon to extend its protection. Sir Ce-
Gil Spring Rice called at the state
department Saturday to inform Secre-
tary Bryan that an Englishman named
Syndan had been driven away from
his ranch and that his property was
in danger of destruction. Secretary
Bryan Immediately telegraphed Amer
ican Consul Letcher at Chihuahua to
make an inquiry and report the facts.
If necessary protest will be made to
Carranza or Villa.
Technically the commission which
was charged to investigate the killing
of Benton, containues in existence and
Secretary Bryan Saturday stated that
its functions had been simply suspend
ed. There is now, however, little idea
that the commissioners will proceed to
Chihuahua in the expectation of un-
covering any evidence of value, though
it probably will be required to carry
out it's original instructions merely for
the purpose of establishing the princi-
pie Of the right of the United States
government to act in this matter.
Meanwhile nothing further has been
heard at the state department from
Gen. Carranza or his subordinates re-
garding the investigation which he is
making.
There seems to be no present inten-
ton Of returning any answer to the
communication from Gen. Huerta pro-
testing against the removal Of the en-
barge against the expectation of arms
into Mexico. The administration, 1t Is
thought, does not care to risk the con-
struction that such response would
constitute a formal recognition of the
Huerta government.

Garrett Sees Dangers.

Consul Garrett, however, after in
terviewing numerous Mexicans ana
others reported officially that Vergara
had been executed. He added that he
was convinced from the Federals at
titude while he was in Hidalgo that
it would have been dangerous for him
to demand surrender of the body.
The investigation was ordered con-
tinued by the stated apartment and
the state of Texas also ordered an in
vestigation by the Texas Rangers.
The island pasture of Nergara, where
it was first reported the ranchman had
been assaulted, complicated the affair
by the question whether it was Mex
lean or American territory, until it
was found that Vergara had been ae-
tually seized on the Mexican main
land.
This rendered those responsible SAFE
from prosecution in Texas. AS the
horses were alleged to have been TAX
en- from this pasture, however, and
county records showed it belongs to
the state of Texas, Mrs. Vergara filed
an affidavit charging Capt. Rodriguez
and three of his men with horse theft.
Governor Colquitt requested permis-
sion of the state department Ito send
Texas Rangers across the border to
pursue the abductors and murderers,'
of Vergara and was told by Secretary
of State Bryan that the United States
government alone could take no au-
thor!ty for sending an armed force into
a foreign country. Later when Nj =.
Vergara made the charge of horse
theft Gov. Colquitt asked of the state
department whom the United States
recognized as constituted authority in
Northern Mexico" so that he might
make requisition under the Mexican
treaty for the men named. This ques-
ton never was answered to the salts
faction of Gov. Colquitt and the Gov
ernor announced that to solve the
question he would requisition both the
Federal and Constitutionalist COVER
ners of the states of Nuervo Leon and
Chihuahua. This was on Friday and.
SO far as known, the requisition has
not been issued
Vergara's seizure and disappearance
cast the Texas border country in this
section into turmoil. Many bitter ex-
pressions have been heard. and while
there has been no sign of disorder. feeling
has run high. Dissatisfaction was es-
pecally keen because of what Xergara's
friends thought delay in demanding re-
turn of his body for burial, and there
had been rumors that an attempt might
be made to obtain it. Interest in the case
was intense tonight ~
1t has been said that the men accused
of numbering Vergara have been trans
ferred to another post since the Vergara
matter became public. Their arrest was
promised by Gen. Joaquin Mas, Federal
commander of the northern zone of Mex
leo. when Gov. Colquitt asked If requi-
sition would be honored, but it was not
said whether they would be delivered to
Texas authorities.
No further word has come from Gen.

Providence on His Side

AS a rule the habitual wrongdoer
bears little resentment toward the de-
tective who may have brought him to
justice, Neither is he always devoid
of blind belief in the workings of
Providence. One known to the po-
lice as chronic crook met one of
the detectives who had on several oc-
casions unpleasant business with him.
How are you doing now, Tom?' ask
ed the detective, "Doing" bitterly ex,
claimed the crook. you and your
pals have fairly bottled our business!"
Well, how's the wife?" asked the
man from the Yard, whereupon the
crook nearly broke down. The
missus," he said, died month ago.
1t was near thing that the parish
didn't have to bury her, but with
ring of heartfelt gratitude in his
voice. Providence was very good, for
it sent along mug in the nick O. time
and I done him for 20 quid. We
was able to bury poor Liz quite de-
cent-like"- Mahchester Guardian.
