ObregOn Has Slight Strain
OF Yaqui Indian Blood.
Of such stock came Obregon of So
nora the new hero of the common PEG
pie of the ill-governed country. A
slight strain of Yaqui Indian blood
gives Obregon high cheek bone, but
the predominating Spanish blood gives
him a complexion more white than
that of his fellows.
When Victoriano Huerta came into
power with the Staying of President
Madero and it was seen in Mexico that
chaos only could result, Oregon, the
farmer, student and inventor laid down
his tools and tossed his lot with the
constitutionalist cause-Carranza an
Villa. Oregon left more than his
farm. He closed his little machine
shop, his hobby, where he worked out
his inventions in the quiet of the rural
surroundings. He is said to have per-
fected agricultural machinery improve
ments for which United States con-
Germs have paid him large sums.
He went to the Yaqui country to
learn the rudiments of guerrilla war
fare from the Indians. He was welcom-
ed by the tribes and soon found him
self at the head of 400 good fighting
men-Colonel Obregon.

MASKED GRAPPLER
 PUTS BERNER TO
 MAT IN HOT BOUT

New York, fDee. 10-1van Linew, the Cossaek, was scheduled to wrestle the nnys 1erious stranger with the black mask in the international wrestling contest at the Manhattan opera house last night. LineW failed to keep his appointment, alleging an injury to his foot, but after watching the perform anee of the stranger with Berner of Germany. it looks as if the Cossack received an inside tip to save his bones and reputation.
 Berner is one Of the fastest men in the tournament, and so far he has only been thrown by Cutler and Zy- byske after close bouts, but the mask ed stranger hurled him around the stage like a rag doll. and with terrif- ic whirl after 12 minutes and sec on dshe threw the German to the mat so hard that Berner lost conscious ness and the stranger carried him to the wings in his arms.
 pr. F. B. Roller, America, careful ly dusted the mat before he pinned the shoulders of Paul Alverez of Por- tugaI in 12:04 with a crotch and neck lock. Charles Cutler of America, threw Wilhelm Ernst of Germany af- ter a clever bout with a head scissors in 6:1O. Both of these matches were catch-as-catch-ca style.

WANT WARNER
 TO BE PILOT
 OF PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh, Dec. IDA movement has been started here to boost Glenn (Pop) Warner, the great football coach, for the management of the Pittsburgh Pirates It is felt in many circles here that the man who in one season brought Pittsburgh University to the very top of the football heap is the right man to succeed Fred Clarke as field leader of the Buccaneers. i..-
 Warmers phenomenal success during Carlisle made his football teams the also had great success in training men being his masterpiece.
 Warner is one of the real inventors of sportdom. He has three inventions to his credit, and two of them caused new athletic rules to be passed. He has never been very deep in baseball, but one cannot help wonder what sort of play he would invent if he went into the business of man&ging a major league ball club.
 In 1903 warner invented trick sweater, which he placed on Charley Dillon, the great Carlisle fulIback In a game against Harvard Dillon got the ball on the kickoff, tucked it un- der the specially made sweater and ran 105 yards for a touchdown He passed the entire Harvard team be- fore the Crimson players knew where the ball was.
 That play caused a rule to be passed prohibiting a player from carrying the ball except in his hands,

FRANK BAKER
 SURE TO JOIN
 CHICAGO CLUB

New York, Dec. 10.-J. Franklin Home Run" Baker will wear Chi cago White Sox uniform next season This startling information was fur nished yesterday by one who is seldom wrong on big moves in the baseball world. It has been known for some time that Charles Comiskey was will ling to go the Emit to strengthen his team. Also that he was anxious to obtain the services of the Athletic 'hold-out.''
 The informant further states that Baker has already signed White Sox contract. The announcement will be made at the American league meet ing in Chicago according to the pre- gram
 With Baker attached to the Chicago club. it will make the American league more top heavy than before When the season closed last year there were only three teams in that circuit-Red Sox, Detroit, White Sox-that could be seriously considered. If the heavy slugger becomes member of that tri- Isumvirate it makes the prospects, more dismal for the other five clubs; also gloomy for the entire league.
 It was reported that when Captain Huston and Manager Donovan went to Wilmington to talk business with of the Chicago squad. If so, the .thome run king didn't let the cat out of the bag at that conference.
 From a baseball standpoint, New York should get first chance N.t Baker. With him in the makeup it would give the home team 8 chance for the flag. It would make the league a four-club affair, and that alone would stir up more interest in the game around here. Then again the advent of the Feds in this territory will make the two major leagues hustle to prevent the invaders from winning over their patrons.

CARR. GAN THINKS
 RED sex CAPABLE
 OF WINNING AGAIN

Boston, Dec. 10-Manager Bill Carrigan of the Red Sox1 cannot see how trades would help his club. In fact, he is well satisfied with his players and thinks them able to go right back and win another pennant, says Carrigan: Can you imagine anything more foolish than. for a man ager or an owner to break up or change team that has just won a worlds championship?
 I can't Any team that was good enough to take the measure of the Tigers and the White Sox, not to men ton the Philadelphia Nationals. is good enough to go right back there and repeat, barring accidents The most ridiculous move a manager could make would be to shake up an outfit that had just won the big title.
 There have been teams like the Cubs, Giants, and maybe one or two other clubs that slipped badly in the year following the winning of a cham pionship, but the main reason for that to my mind is that these teams had reached the top Of their form before that and were really starting to go back But this is not the case with the Red Sox.
 Barring Heinie Wagner and my self, I doubt if there is a man on the team that has reached his S0th year yet Gregg may be coming to that point, but take Hooper. Speaker Hen riksen, Lewis, Hob1itzell, Jaavrtn, Gardner and Scott of the regulars, they are we'll under that age and cap able of playing cham pionship base ball for long time yet. Cady and Thomas not to mention Haley are well below that S0-year mark. Mays, Ruth, Shore, Leonard and Foster are practically kids, while Collins and Woods have yet to see their 27th birthday, So it can be seen that we have net started to go back yet
 Every new and then some one comes out with the statement that Larry Gardner is to be treaded. Can you imagine any club in the Ameri- can league that would give us a play CT that would be anything like an equal exchange? Granted that now and then Gardner slows up a bit in his fielding, and that Scott fails to hit as expected.
 This is only something that hap pens in all great ball clubs. Cobb had a bad batting slump last seasons as hard a hitter as Crawford is he ran for a long spell without doing anything with his bat. SIumps over take every player, for the strain of a championship season is so great that unless a break comes now and then a player is apt to go bad altogether.

TAlLENDERS GAIN
 IN SIX DAY RACE

New York, Dec 103The tail-end teams in the six-day race furnished all the excitement at Madison Square Garden last night, the Ruddi-Russe- vanderstuyft and Madonna-suter teams each gaining a lap in as series of wild sprints shortly after o'clock. Eleven of the teams are now tied for the lead, while the Su1Iivan-Anderson team is two laps behind, the SuteF- Madonna team three laps back, and the Ruddi-Russe-Vand erstuyft com bznatfon is in the ruck four laps back Of the leaders. Former sfx-day re- cords fell by the wayside, and the. riders are IT miles ahead of the best previous marks.
 Vanderstuyft stole march on the leaders and was a quarter of a. lap in
 front before the others woke up. Ruddi-Russe then relieved his part ner and after aathriIIing 12-Iap spin, the "caboose,' team had Tapped the leaders As soon as this sprint was over. the aggressive little Italian rider, Vincenzo Madonna, sent the enthusi- s.sm of the crowd up to a feverish pitch by rushing to the front
 His partner. Suter. was loadng on the back stretch, waiting to aid his pIuclxy team mate, but Madonna riding for almost mile, he gained the lap all alone Wild cheers greet ed Madonna's feat.
 New York, Dec. 1O-Twelve teams atiII remained in the six-day bicycle race at o'clock this morning, the one hundred and fourth hour, with 1 1 leaders tied at 2.071 miles, six laps. 20 miles, one lap ahead of the record Sullivan and Anderson were seven laps ahAad.
