Charlie White did nothing wonder
full against Leach Cross in a ten
round fight at New York last night.
The mill was hot battle, with plenty
of stirring mix-ups., in every round
but one, and was termed draw by
the majority. Of critics. Both lighters
were somewhat battered and very
tired at the final bell.
White should have whipped Cross
to be considered one of the real top
notchers Of the lightweight division.
Leach is a willing and sturdy fighter,
but he isn't a champion, or even
challenger. Whites best work was
done when he stood off and boxed,
Cross exceIling at infghting.

seen. Bids will be opened April Is

Manager HOWldUu - IG JOI leu " 10
dissatisfied with the batting Of the
Sox team, but certain excuses can be
made for the light hitting of the ath-
Ietes. It can be safely said that the
Sox are facing more difficult pitch
ing right now than any other major
league team in training camp.
, They are opposing Pacific Coast
league pitchers who are far advanced
in condition, for the season out there
opens officially next week. Through
out the winter these coast fellows
keep in action, and, when spring rolls
around, they are ready to curve the
ball and put on all their reserve
steam.
The Sox, stale from a winters idle
ness, are puzzled by the mid-season
stuff and require some time to- get
their eyes sharpened. It is notice
able that every spring the SOx begin
to bat harder as they travel east
ward and meet teams which have not
had as much time to train. Is
Battling these coasters should be a
great aid to the Hose fellows. When
the American league season opens
curve balls are no novelty to them,
and they are used to watching the
fast ones zip by. Registering but
three or four hits against Coast
league teams makes a major league
squad look very weak until all angles
of the situation are examined.
The most promising feature of the
spring work of the Sox this year is
the fact that the recruits, Felch and
Brief, are batting with great vigor. It
makes little difference what such vet
Grams as Ed and John Collins, Buck
Weaver or Ray Schalk do. They have
proven themselves in the big league
and can be counted on when they
warm to their work

Dear Mr. Burgman: l have just

Part of this road is at present, and

When the late John Anderson, Of
Ormond hotel fame, planned the great

proposed should have it's beginning az

included this same peninsula roadway

magnificent continental road.

Powerful Stimulant.

The leaves of the kat plant are a
common stimulant among the natives
of Abyssinia and Arabia They are
chewed when any special or long-con-
tinued effort is to be made, and their
effect is to produce an agreeable
sleeplessness and stimulation-a kind
of intoxication of long duration-with
none of the disagreeable features of
ordinary inebriety. They enable
messengers ana soldiers to go with
out food for a number of days. They
sometimes produce a state of drunk
enness, like the alcohol of Europeans,
but overindulgence is rare, the eff.
fects of abuse of the habit being a
tendency of the body to dry, and
emaciation of the visage, with a trem-
bling of the limbs and other nervous
troubles. In some places merchants
chew the leaves two or three times a
day. the habit being fairly comparable
to the use OF tea in the United States
and elsewhere. The plant is specially
cultivated as dwarf shoots, shrubs and
small trees-the dwarf plants being
not more than sixteen inches tall and
| yielding the most tender, popular and
| high-priced leaves.

Changing a Words Meaning.

Pension" is among the numerous
cases of words of Latin origin special
lied to mean something which the
original did not mean to the Romans.
"PeEsio" sl'nitied simply a payment
in the broao st sense; and we are at
liberty TO draw the sound moral that a
pension is not really something
thrown in as a gratuity. but deferred
pay. The word for soldiers pay
was "stpendium; and here we have
another curious shift of meaning. No
body speaks of a soldiers stipend"
now; it is magistrate or a clergyman
whose pay receives that name. The
'stipendium' was paid in Jumps three
or four times a year, and the word
came to be used to mean a years term
Of service.

.0BREG0N, VICTORIOUS,
EXECUTES PRISONERS
AMMUNITION IN CAR LOTS
ENROuTE TO VILLISTAS
VIA Ell PASO

El Paso, Tex. April 20-While II is
now admitted that Villas army suffer-
ed q severe defeat at the hands of
General Obregon near Celaya, the willy
general is again preparing to give
battle on his own "stomping grounds"
| in north Mexico, where he is now
strongly entrenched and where he is
daily receiving reinforcements.
1t is officially stated today that
Villas losses exceeds 5000 men kill
ed and captured. The captured men
were executed Obregon says he can
not afford to feed prisoners nor can
he afford to release them, therefore
the only way left open is to kill them.
This he does invariably.
Villas forces will again advance on
Celaya The move started this after
noon
Ammunition in car lots began to-
pass through this port today, destined
for the villa army engaging the Car
rama advance below lrapuato, Guiana
juato. 1t was not considered likely that
villa would press his attacks on
Obregon's position at Celaya until
more munitions arrived.
AS far as could be learned from
local reports, General Obregon has
not ventured far from Celaya or yet
attacked Villas base at Irapuato.
Irapuato is the junction point to
Guadalajara. Celaya is located at an
important railroad connection between
the City Of Mexico and the north
1t was announced today that all
telegraphic communication below
lrapuato had been cut, supposedly by
Carranza's harassing expeditions. This
placed the north out of touch with
Guadalajara, as well as with the City
OF Mexico.
Villa forces were reported today as
Fastening to the center from eastern
and western Mexico. Geneal Trevino,
the Carranza commander at Tampico,
reported today that the Villa forces
investing the port had disappeared
from the vicinity of Ebano.
Villa was defeated in his first at
tack on Celaya. it is said, by trick
in which the Carranza commander
permitted the enemy to enter the
streets of the town. where they en-
countered artillery and machine gun
fire. Villas second attack last week
likewise proved unsuccessful, his
withdrawal. according to the official
explanation. having been caused by a
shortage of ammunition.
