struck BY an automobile Monday nigas
near the FL Paso & Southwestern rail-

the time besides the chauffeur were
Mrs. Villa, Mrs c L. Ross and Mr..

The party was out auto riding as the
guests OF Mrs Villa, whose husband
is in Chihuahua
Members OF the party say that the
boys walked onto the road from a by

road and lodged directly in front or

attempt 10 avoid striking them and in
doing, so steered the auto into a post

The Oilers have been running very

With three clubs in the race well
above the 500 mark in the percentage
column il is evident that the leaders
IN the Texas league have been playing
remarkable ball This is an exception
and IL is doubtful il there is another
league that can show three leaders
with such a high rating. There are the
Oilers, at this writing, with a per-
centage Of .641, as a result Of SO vic
tories out Of 90 games played: the
Navigators. .621, SO games won out
