cording to messages to the war depart
ment to-day from Major-General Fun
ston. and n battery of mountain artil-

Texas, to prevent a raid by 500 bandits
who threaten to cross into American

Colonel Blockson, IN command OF the

General Funston that the bandits seemed
to constitute an independent band.
"If Carranza does not stop these band
It's" telegraphed Colonel Blockson II be-
lieve we shall soon be compelled to follow
them across "

ditions did not improve he would find IT
necessary to recommend that American

ing forces along the International line
whenever necessary to deal with them.

between the United States and Mexico.
There are limitations that outside in

YANTIC-NATIONALS SERIES
Much Interest Being StimuIatedFrst Game Saturday at
Yantc-Manager Hughes Announces His Pitchers
Leary and Greenwell-Yantic Management Determined
to Win

The interest in the Yantic- Nationals
series is fast growing and indications
point that it win surpass the series
between the All Stars and Sachems,
which last season was the zenith of
baseball in this city. The first game
will be played at Yantic Saturday and
the second Sunday on the Cranberry.
According to Manager Hughes of the
Nationals, the money has been posted
with the stake holder, Moran of Yam
tic. As no umpireS as yet have been
appointed, as a suggestion Joe Sulli-
van of Greenevil1e and Luke Riley of
the city are very capable of filling the
indicator job satisfactory to all. 1t is
rumored that the Yantic management
have a stronger backing than thought
and that they are out to capture the
series at all costs, barring no expenses,
especially in the battery line. Mana
ger Hughes predicts two stTaights and
announces his batteries: Saturday,
Leary and Walsh; Sunday, GreenWall
and Walsh. Manager Stritch of Yam
tic has not yet revealed his hurlers,
but he has two up his sleeve that are
capable of holding the Nationals and
without doubt will battle them. To
prevent rising questions, it might be
good plan for the arrangements to
appoint an official scorer.
The second game on the Cranberry
Sunday looks as if complications will
arise owing to the fact that the City
league plays there and have a written
permit to play there from one having
the control of the ground.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET DEALINGS NARROW.
Price Changes Were Irregular and
Dealings insignificant.

New York, May 19.-In its salient
features today'S stock market was al
together a repetition Of the previous
session. Dealings were of the same
light and insignificant character and
price changes were again irregular and
narrow. International conditions were
once more the chief influence, the sit
uation in Italy and the relations be-
tween this country and Germany over
shadoWing all other developments.
London's markets reflected the con-
Germ felt IN that quarter regarding the
impending changes in the British min
istry. incidentally, London reported
the release of 100000 gold at Ottawa
for shipment to this center. Americans
were without feature abroad, except
for isolated strength in Canadian
Pacific.
The stock market as such calls for
no detailed comment. Prices were
generally higher at the opening, yield
ed before the end of the first hour,
rose again after midday, and fell back
Slightly towards the close. Except for
specialties, extreme fluctuations were
within a point. Mexican Petroleum
weakened on rumors of fire damage to
the company's property and war shares
rose one to three points on extremely
light sales.
Missouri Pacific and Chesapeake and
Ohio, were heavy, the former because
of reported hitch in the plans to ex-
tend the S25,000,000 of notes maturing
June L and the latter on rumors that
the forthcoming dividend is likely to
be suspended. The short maturities of
these companies and others under sim
liar financial pressure were weak
Total sales of stocks amounted to
10000 shares.
The weekly review of conditions in
the steel trade lays stress on the fact
that the war has played no consider
able part in that industry to date. 1t
is acknowledged that some large do
nestle contracts have been halted.
Foreign exchange was again fever
ish, francs and rubles descending to
lower quotations. A sharp advance in
| sterling remittances at par is also
| regarded as an outgrowth of Frances
heavy obligations to London.
The local bond market was steady
aside from weakness in Wabash tours
which fell two points on heavy offer
ings. Total sales, par value, aggre-
| gated 81, 525, 900.
United States coupon and registered

INTERCOLLEGIATE RECORD
MARKS IN DANGER
Several Are in Grave Danger of Beng
Erased This Season.

That this years intercollegiate track
and field championship meet to be
held at Philadelphia May % and 20,
will see more new records than ever
before is the belief of college men and
athletic SharpS. New evidence for the
belief was furnished by the sensational
performances on Saturday at ithaca,
where Pennsylvania and Cornell met
and at Yale field where Harvard and
Yale clashed. Here are the marks
which are in grave danger of being
erased:
440 yard dash, As seconds, held by c.
]. Reidpath of Syracuse.
Two mile run, 9.23 40, held by D. S.
Hoffman of Cornell.
$50 yard run, 1.53 2-5, held by D. S.
Caldwell of Cornell.
Running high jump, feet 8 1-2
inches, held by T. Mofitt, Pennsylva-
MIA.
Hammer throw, 1874 feet 10 inches,
held by John Dewitt, Princeton.
Running broad jump, "a feet 1-2
inches, held by A. c. Kraenzlein, Penn
sylvania.
Two of these records have already
been beaten and one equalled. The
other three have been closely ap-
preached, and in all the class of COM
petition is so high that the meeting at
Philadelphia is likely to cause new fig
ures to be set up.
The mark most certain to be beaten
is in the high jump. Alma Rich
ards of Cornell, the Olympic champion
has done s feet inches twice and
once feet inches.
In the quarter mile run, Wilcox of
Harvard did 48 seconds when he beat
Wilkie Of Yale. The only man in the
country with a chance to beat the
Harvard flyer is Meredith of Pennsyl-
vania. The Quaker has never run this
fast, but that is because he has never

PhiIIies Fail to Support Chalmers.

Philadelphia, May 1S.-Griner per-
formed the remarkable feat in today's
game, in which st. Louis shut out
Philadelphia to o. of pitching to
only twenty seven batsmen in nine
innings. Gr;ner was touched up for
only two singles and he did not give
a pass, while he was given perfect
support by his team mates. Chalmers
also gave a splendid exhibition of
twirling, but he was given poor sup
port. In trying to reach second when
Becker famed in the first inning,
Byrne was touched out by Butler
whose foot struck the runner on the
head. Byrne suffered a slight con-
cussion of the brain and Stock took
his place Score:

been pushed to the limit Both men
will be comparatively fresh when they
meet and the chances are that the
winner will not only beat Reidpath' S
time but equal and perhaps better
Longs world record of Al AS on a
circular track.
Bailey of Maine, who enters inter
collegiate competition for the first time
this year, has done better than 10
feet in the hammer throw and is a
consistent performer. In the broad
jump the sensation of the year is Oler
of Yale. The Eli never tried broad
jumping before this year seriously, but
on Saturday leaped % feet IL inches.
Yale men think he will beat Kraenz-
lein's mark. In the half mile and two
mile runs the competitors are good
enough to beat the present records.
The present week will see the last
hard work for the big games. There
is only one important meet. That is
the New England intercollegiate on
Friday and Saturday.
