BOOSTERS for all lines Of good
sport are asked to do a little
boosting for the junior tennis tour
nament which opens on the Country
club courts, Wednesday night, and
is open to all boys under II years
of age. The committee extends a
special invitation to boys outside Of
e. Paso. Those who cannot get
their entries to the tournament
chairman in person or by mail BY
Tuesday night, may wire the sport
ing editor of The Herald, who will
make entry for them The entry
fee is small and the winners of the
tournament will be recognized cham
pions of this district.
EVER hear Of an umpire who
wouldn't ask for a managers
suspension after the manager had
struck the indicator man? Well,
umpire Held of the Coast league is
such a man. He came TO blows with
manager McCredie Of the Portland
club the other day and after the
game he stated that he would not
ask for Mercedes suspension, as
eve both lost our tempers and I
guess I hit him first"
DoNT forget that the ball team
goes on the road again next
week, so be on hand to see them
take the measure of Herb Hester's
warriors this week.
DAY COLLINS is not pitching
nearly as good ball this year as
last and this falling away from his
old form is attributed to the fact
that he is unable to use the emery
ball any more.

London, Nov. 15.-The greatest bat tie of the war in Serv;a is in progress southwest of Uskub, the prize being the little town of Petovo.
 Already the place has changed hands several times. It was retaken by the Bulgarians yesterday after a hot fight, it was again captured by the Servians. who reoccupied it to- day, according to report made pub lie by the Servian legation.
 Northwest of Uskub, the Servians are holding Katchanik pass and pre- venting the advance of the Bulgari- ans into the plain of Kossovo.
 In the north, the Austro- Germans and Bulgarians claim further suc- cesses, together with the capture of $500 prisoners, but they have little to show in the way of additional terri tory conquered. and their progress has become very slow. The bad roads or the present scene of fight ing i4a tAissre gions make Ats almost inn possible to bring up the heavy guns upon which the Germans mainly re- ly
 Southwest of Veles, the Bulgarians have gathered a large force and are fighting desperately to stop the French advnace on that town. The battle here is still undecided, al- though the French claim to have the advantage.
 The Bulgarians are making a de- termined effort with a large force to open the way to Monastdir. While launching furious attacks on the French holding the left bank of the Cerna, west of Kavadar, they ale at tempting a turning movement against the Babuna passes, held by the Ser vians, through Tetivo and Goltivar This will bring them to Prelip, south of the passes.

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 15.-A Carran- ga advance guard of 900 men was routed in an encounter with several hundred Villistas today, 30 miles east of Magdalena, according to reports reaching here tonight
 General Obregon, pressing west against Villa. has divided his army into three, columns. Fifteen hundred are following the international bor- der toward Nogales; 5000 are march ing in the direction of Magdalena, Villas temporary headquarters; and 1900 are moving toward Cananea.
 Obregon's plan was to have Gen. eral Manuel Diguez come up from the south with 8 900 men, so that a general movement could be made against Villa from all directions. (
 Villa appears to have got wind ot the plan, and instead of concentrat- ing his army in Magdalena or Mo- gales, as was expected, is moving to meet the Carranzistas. According to news reaching here tonight, his main army attacked General Diguez' col umn at Hermosillo, while other Villa groups defeated the Cbregon advance guard.

Washington, Nov. 15-The state department has abandoned its crigi nal intention of making a request" Of Great Britain to permit the Amer ican steamship Winnebago, owned by the American Transatlantic Steam ship company, ito pass unmolested from Buencs Aires to New York.
 It has decided instead to make a demand" on Great Britain that she leave the vessel alone, providing it is first satisfied that the vessel is entitled to full Ars erican rights.
 In the meantime, the department has asked the attorneys for the American Atlantic company to prepare form of representation which the company thinks this gov ernment should make to Great Britain, with reference to the cases of the Winnebago and the Hooking. The latter vessel -wss seized by a British cruiser outside LNew York and is now in British prize court The statement will be presented to the department tomorrow
