Battle at MeXicali
Is Reported Imminent

idle Mexicans in all the valley towns
who appear to be doing nothing and
yet are well supplied with funds, is
now explained. At the evening mess
call each recruit is handed $110 and
every recruit who volunteers his ser
vices is being accepted which indicates
that the cause has strong financial
backing and that funds are plenty.
Another report states that intrig-
uing has been under way in the McXl-
cali garrison and that when the town
is attacked fully half the soldiers will
transfer their affiliations to the Car
ranZista cause, so that the attacking
700 will face only little more than
500 soldiers and in addition will be
rendered inside assistance. The Car
ranzista leaders are said to have held
out promises of plumber and financial
reward to those who will desert the
Villa cause and cast their lot with
the invading army.
Rifle and revolver ammunition is
reported to be going on all over the
valley. The ammunition, however, Is
being brought in small quantities only
in order to allay suspicion. Firearms
are said to have been bought along
the same lines to prevent any one
from suspecting that the Carranzistas
are preparing to strike at once.
The presence of Lieutenant Colonel
Gallago of the Carranzista army here
yesterday and the day before is an
other significant circumstance. With
him were 3 other officers and today
they are reported to be recruiting at
Heber
If the town is taken by the Carranza
forces there will hc a complete change
in the government and civil admin
atration. It is reported that the entire
federal administration will he executed
and it is possible that the civil ad-
ministration will meet similar fate.
Lieutenant Colonel Gallago who cap
tured the town year ago will be the
military commander. He will fill the
position now held by Colonel Cantu
and it will probably fall to his iuris-
diction to appoint officers to fill the
administrative vacancies.
II is rumored that both Cantu and
Judge Guaiardo of the court of the
first instance at McXicali will flee to
the United States in the event that
the town is confronted hy defeat. Fol
lowers of the movement to attack the
town point out, however. that such a
move is hardly possible. Even if both
did reach this side of the line it is
probable that they would be liable to
assassination by some political enemy,
they say.
Gallago i known as a RELENTLESS
fighter and in the event that the COM
manders of MeXcai decline to sur
render on terms named by him it i
very probable that the Carranzista
forces will attack the town with the
, expectation of executing the surviv-
ora, as Gallaro threatened to do when
he captured MeNicali about year ago

Joe Yelling, Chicago Fighter,
Is Student OF the Classics

Joe yelling, Chicago's new light
weight sensation, is not a pugilist by
choice. There are any number of
things Joe would rather do than fight,
but fighting enables him to do the
others, consequently he is found in
the squared circle.
yelling is one of the real highbrows
of the fight game. He is not excep-
tionally well educated, but he will
be before he reaches his twenty-fifth
birthday. Joe's hobby is the classics,
law and drama. Outside of baseball
he doesn't care a rap for sports. He
is fond of dancing, preferring to
watch good performers rather than
indulge himself. He is a master of
all the latest steps.
1t may seem strange, but yelling
also goes in for painting. He doesn't
think much of his talent in this line,
but he does gather in real money for
cartoons. Joe is now in the employ
of Chicago paper and furnishes pic
lures for the Sunday editions. Being
a fighter, Joe has to stick to the fight
game, and his weekly feature is max
ing a hit with the fans.
His manager, Larney Lichtenstein,
is arranging tour of the East, with
bouts in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
New York, Buffalo and Brooklyn, and
while there he will try to break into
the upper circle.

Hits.
BELL is THE BATTING STAR

Edward Hyman, one of those
youngsters who was declared ineligi-
Bile to play basketball for South Side
High School, got back in the light
yesterday and pitched the South
Side team to victory over Bloom
field High Schools nine at the City
Athletic Field in Bloomfield avenue.
The score of the contest was to O.
1t was the first time that the young
ster has had a chance to show his
wares for nine innings, and on his
showing yesterday Coach Cavallaro
will undoubtedly pick him to pitch in
the biz games later on. Two hits
was the total obtained from Hyman' S
delivery yesterday.
In justice to the Bloomfield team it
might be said that several of the
regular players were missing from
the lineup. The absence of the vet
Grams rather handicapped team play,
but on the whole the visitors played

youngster at short named Allison

much older player Allisons work

South Side got right after Bloom
field in the early innings, getting one
run in the second session and Two in
the third. Charles Bell was on hand
for two hits which aided the South
Side team in its victory. Bloomfield

Ohio Is Home of Many
Major League Managers

Ohio ranks first among a dozen
States in supplying major league
teams with leaders. 1t furnishes FIVE
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania fol-
lowing with four, New York and Mis-
souri, with two, and Maine, Georgia,
Wisconsin, Kansas, Maryland, Iowa
and Louisiana svith one. The one rea-
son why the Buckeye State stands in
the van in this respect is that Roger
Bresnahan, of the Cubs, after having
been accused for years as having been
born in Ireland, issued a denial of
this charge, and said that Toledo, O.,
was his birthplace.
The native sons among the bosses
are John McGraw, of the Giants, who
was born in Truxton, N. Y, and
George Stovall, of the Kawfeds, who
first saw the light of day in Leeds,
Mo. The senior major league COM
mander is Connie Mack, of the Ath-
letics, the junior Lee Magee of the Tip
Tops. Mack was born in 1862, Magee
in 1889. The years the other big
league managers reached the earth
are as follows: Robinson, in 1868;
Griffith, in 1853; Jennings, in 1870;
Clarke, in 1872; McGraw, in 1873;
Jones, in 1874; Moran and Donovan, in
1876; Rowland, in 1879; Higgins, Bres-
nahan and Tinker, in 1880; Stovall and
Rickey, in 1881; Carrigan, in 1888;
Knabe, in 1884, and Herzog, Birming-
ham and Cakes, in 1885. The average
age of NationaNLeague manager Is
thirty-Six years, of an American
League leader thirty-five, and of a
Federal League commander thirty
three.
Two big league shippers were born
on the alleged hoodoo date-the thir-
teenth. Fielder Jones and Bill Dono-
van, the men in question, have been
lucky in their major league connec-
tions, Jones having been the boss OF
the White Sox when they won the
championship of the world, and Dono-
van having assisted in the winning
of three flags for Detroit. Connie
Mack has his birthday on the twenty
third. He has been making the other
managers skidoo since he moved
from Milwaukee to Philadelphia.
Three of the Federal League mana
gers come from Pennsylvania, Fielder
Jones hailing from .Shinglehouse, Otto
Knabe from Carrick and Bill Phillips
from Allenport. "Allenport Bilr' was
long a nickname of Phillips when he
was earning his bread and butter
from organized ball.
No managers were born either in
January or May. In June four bosses
reached this world, in November four,
in December four, in February two,
in April two, in July two, In Septem-
Der two, in October two, in March one
and in August one.

'NEWARKERS AWAIT
/ PENN RELAY RACES
Lagay, Granger, Braun, Burke
and Atha in Big Athletic
Carnival.
DORSEY ON PENN TEAM

Practically every intercollegiate
champion athlete in every u. 5. col
lege is entered in the University of
PennsylvanIa's relay race and ath-
letic carnival, which opened today
More than thousand stars of conege
track and cinder paths, including o25
relay teams, are entered. Philadel-
phia was turned over today to husky,
Ted-faced youths wearing sweaters,
waving college pennants and shouting
college yells. 1he meet will be con-
cluded with the big events tomorrow.
Newark boys in the Penn relays are
mostly from Dartmouth. Frank
Iagay, former Central High School
star, and William Randolph Granger,
a former athlete at the Barringer
High School, will run for Dartmouth
in the two-mile. Frank Burke, for
merly of Barringer, may compete for
Cornell in the two-mile, while Prince
ton will send Stewart K. Atha, a
Newark boy, as a member of its re-
lay team. Frank Dorsey, of East Or
ange, will probably run as a member
of the University of Pennsylvania
quartet in one of the relays.
Meredith, of Pennsylvania, the win
ner of the quarter-mile champion
ship; Speiden, Cornell, mile cham
pion, and Hoffmiere, Cornell, the win
Iier of the two miles, will be in their
respective relay races. Braun, Dart
mouth, the high hurdle champion, a
former Barringer High School star of
this city, will run in that event, while
Ferguson, Pennsylvania, the low
hurdle champion, will be seen either
in the low hurdles or in one of Penn
sylvania's relay races.
Beatty, Columbia, the winner of the
ehot put; Oler, Yale, the winner of the
high jump and Mordell, Dartmouth,
in the broad jump, the other cham
pions now in college, will be in those
events at the relay races.
The real feature of the presence of
these men will be in their meeting
the best athletes of the Middle West
and of the Pacific coast slope. Bar
ancik, Chicago, the Western confer
ence intercollegiate champion, will be
in the 100-yard dash, as well as Drew,
of the University of Southern Cali
fornia. The latter is the holder of the
worlds record at 9 3-5 seconds. He
has a wonderful record of having
beaten 10 seconds for the 100-yard on
eighteen different occasions.
The field events will also find the
present champions opposed by some
of the very best men in America.
Oler, of Yale, the present champion
of the high jump, will meet Richards,
of Cornell, the Olympic champion.
There will also be four or five other
men in the high jump who have done
> over feet inch.
Today's program will consist most
ly of events for local schools and col
leges. The only big event taken from
Saturdays program will be the ham
mer throw, which will be held today.
Three other special events will be
given today, the 56-pound weight for
distance the 44l-vard hurdle and the
hop, step and jump.
The program for tomorrow will be
practically the same as usual. The
regular high and preparatory school
class races and the college class races
will be given and the championships
for school and colleges will be the
same as in previous years.

FULTZ TALKS

David L. Fultz, president of the
Baseball Players Fraternity, issued a
statement last night, giving that or
ganization's views of the recent de-
cision of the National Commission in
which most of the fraternity's re-
quests were refused. The organiza-
ton will take no action at this time,
but. as Mr.. Fultz puts it, will simply
make the most of it, However, the
organization is disappointed because
the National Commission did not
grant the request concerning the
players salaries after they are re-
leased to lower leagues, and also the
requests that players be notified When
clubs ask for waivers.

PLAYERS HURT IN
PRINCETON GAME
Victory Over Washington and
Jefferson Costly to Mas
san Nine.
LAW VICTIM OF SPIKES

More players were added to Prince
toms injured list yesterday. The
Tigers, with Lamberton pitching his
first game, managed to defeat Wash
ington and Jefferson by a score of
Z to in a poor game of baseball,
which was played at Princeton. Law,
who took Scully's place at second
base, the last named being out of
the game on account of having the
mumps, was spiked and had to re-
tire in favor of Talley Douglas, the
big first baseman of the Tigers, was
also hurt, but managed to stay in the
contest, which lasted seven innings.
The game was called to allow the
visitors to catch a train.
With Law laid up for repairs the
Tigers chances during the games
next week are not so bright. Besides
Law there is Scully out at second,
Deyo, who recently left the infirm-
ary, and Captain Greene, who is tenn
porarily out of the game.
Yesterdays contest abounded with
injuries and they were not confined
to Princeton alone. Leydic, of the
visitors, met with a peculiar accident.
He tried to pick up a grounder but
a1ter he stopped and had the ball in
his gloved hand he failed to
SlrhlsHlen up. SIODDS ran over and
took the ball out of his hand. In bend
ing Leydic's shoulder had slipped out
or place: After he had been attended
he pluckily resumed playing Um-
p1re Conahan was also injured.
Lamberton got away to a bad start.
He walked three men in the opening
inning and forced in a run. In six
innings he gave out free passes to
seven, but he rather redeemed him
SELF to some extent by allowing but
three hits and striking out ten.
