Mexico is young. Ny Mexico has plenty
of life in it. Ny country cannot be con-

for each woman and for each child. and
when the 100000 Mexicans are killed off,
then a devastated country would be the
prize of the conqueror. to the shame of

Never mind Mexico will be saved by

by bandit. Not by man that kills for

NAPT. ROY ELAN was very
much ON the job yesterday. All
- that the bronze-h haired short
stop accomplished was to retire seven
speeding Gulls on sensational stops
and make three timely hits out of
four appearances at the bat. For the
information of the uninitiated it is
stated that ELAN had a very bad aft
ernoon yesterday.
Bob Baumgartner was the especial
victim of Ellam's purloining of base
hits Baumgartner was up four times
and retired always through the ELAN
route. In the third the Mobile third
sacker jammed one through the box
labeled for single, but ELAN, in
some miraculous manner. nabbed the
pill and threw out of position to Car
roll ahead of the runner. Baumgart-
ner said things about Ellam then.
In the fifth inning Baumgartner shot
not grounder to short. In the press
box it appeared like a hit as Perry
was in front of ELAN. but the Bar
onial infielder ducked the runner and
made fine stop and throw for the
out TO Carroll. 1t was one of the
fastest plays of an afternoon replete
with sensational fielding work
In the seventh Banmgartner was hit
on the shoulder but was retired at
second by ELAN. who made a beau
tiful stop of Schmidt,s grounder.
But it was in the eighth inning that
ELAN perpetrated the worst affront
of the afternoon on the long suffering
Baumgartner. The former Alabama
star slapped a liner through the box
at a mile a minute and no one ex-
pected ELAN or Coombs to come any
where near fielding the ball However,
in some ineXplicable manner ELAN
reached for the high bounding bali
with his gloved hand and made a low
throw to Carroll who stretched him
self full length on the ground to make
the catch and put-out 1t was then
that Bum broke loose and accused
ELAN of being various kinds of a
robber, baseball highwayman and other
things.
However, Roy ELAN was not the
only scintillating star of the game, as
Edison Hemingway shone somewhat
himself around the hot corner. Hem

said;
Il think that rich men and corporations
contribute to charities, settlements and
other so-called welfare propositions to di-

of society.
Professor Kennedy said his survey was
