That certain reports concerning an
alleged rampage by the Wishita and
Canadian rivers are unfounded was
evidenced this morning when it was
learned that the Canadian is behav-
ing in perfectly lovely manner with
the Washita showing rise of but q
foot and half in the past several
days. At 2 o'clock, the Washita was
running one foot, ten inches over the
dam at the power house and was up
but matter of few inches since yes

Canadian was reported quiet.
Trains on the Rock Island were run

TYPO CLAN
N-UP
ON BARRIERS
Timely Hitting is the Answer :
BARRIERS Banked to Sixth When
They Load Bases and Reg
isler Score is S to4

In the Barber-Typo game yesterday
afternoon at University park, timely
hitting by the Typos, coupled with
costly errors at critical stages by the
BARRIERS, enabled the Typo clan to get
away with the long end of a to 4
score, in battle that, bar two innings,
was perfectly good baseball.
The two frames mentioned were the
fifth and sixth, when practically all
the runs were registered. In the fifth,
with two counters already laid up, the
Typos got 20 Turner for couple OF
long hits, which with men on the
paths and an overthrow of third, scor-
ed four. In the sixth, the BARRIERS,
with nothing bur series of ciphers to
draw to, got busy and on a couple of
Typo hobbies, a hit and two battery
errors, put three good ones ever the
platter. In the seventh, Barnes scor-
ed on Regan's long double to left
Rain stopped the game at this station.
There are no six or seven ways
about it. The Typos opened the strug-
gle with horseshoes. Two Alfonso and
CASTOR stunts pulled by the BARRIERS
enabled Cloud, first up for the Typos,
to complete the circuit. Also in the
first frame and partially instrumental
in the scoring Of Cloud was the boot.
ing of an easy roller by Little, third
sacker for the BARRIERS.
In the last half Of the first, Lindsay,
pitching for the Typos, delivered three
balls, chances by McCauley, Little and
Jacobs being smothered off the bat.
This same one-two-three order was
maintained up to the sixth. Twice
during this period the BARRIERS had
men on the paths, but they were pick
ed off by doubles. Things looked dark
for the Typos in the sixth when with
one man down, couple of errors and
hit congested the bases. A walk
and man hit by pitcher, forced two
across and an error at the plate let
another one live. A pop-out and one
picked from the paths retired the side.
Summed up. the game was the best
exhibition staged to date, and il it is
criterion of what the battles are to
be when the league games start, there
will be some baseball worth seeing
round about, as the sun melts the
kinks from the joints of the timers.

or the establishment of constitutional
government.
The Red Cross relief expedition is
scheduled to sail from Galveston to-
day and is enroute to Mexico City to

Informal efforts-as yet without Of
ficial sanction-are being made by
Mexicans connected with the villa-za-

about reconciliation with the Car
rama faction with the view of estab-
fishing a government that could claim
recognition at the hands Of the United

Eliseo Arredondo, Washington rep
resentative of Gen. Carranza, Sunday
received a message from Carranza
consul on the border saying he had

peace negotiations. The message was

Arreedondo to Carranza at Vera Cruz.

therefore make any comment" said
Mr. Arredondo Sunday night.
Enrique Llorente, representative
here of the Villa-zapata coalition, said
he had no official advices that any
peace parleys had begun and believed
any preliminaries in this connection
would be arranged through his agency.
He said he had received Sunday night
telegram from Miguel Diaz Lombar-

announced his departure from Chihua-

ure, Gen. Devol had received no reply
to his request through the American
Railway association that the railroads
grant free transportation or reduced
rates for foodstuffs destined to the
Mexican famine sufferers.
Informally some Carranza officials
expressed their own opinion that the
efforts of the Villa elements to make
peace was confession Of military
failure and the coming breaking up OF
their movement. Peace negotiations
were viewed by the Carranza men.
therefore, as an obstacle to an early
