Boston batters gave an early hint
that they were not handicapped In
any way by the short wall. when
Duffy Lewis and Hairy Hooper both
lined balls into the crowd. A min
iature riot ensued for possession OF
the spheres. Up to 1:45 neither man
ager had given the crowd the slight
est intimation of who the pitchers
would be. Rlxey warmed up for the
Phils. but the crowd did not evince
much interest, "a II was a foregone
conclusion that TO Grover Alexander

field was regarded as a big factor IN
the possible outcome of the game.
The crowd, OF course. packed the
bandbox park to suffocation. Hun

They were rewarded, or at least

Patrick Moran. with a good old Irish
swagger. led his white-suited CO
horts through the gate under the
centerfield bleaehers.
Ten minutes later the Rex Sox
trooped IN.
A pale anaemic sun came out as
Moran and Carrlgan greeted each
other with seeming feryor. at the
plate, and smiled into the cameras.
The Phillies were the first to take
the field for batting practice. Al

CEN. PASCUAL OROzCO KILLED
FAMOUS MEXICAN FIGHTS HIS
LAST BATTLE.
And Is Killed In Fight With Pursue
ing v. S. Troops.-Had Fought
In the First Revolution.

Ei Paso.-Gen. Pascual Orzoco,
prominent military leader in Mexicos
many revolutions OF the last several
years, was killed in a fight with a
posse Of American civilians, customs
officers and troopers of the Thir
teenth United States cavalry. The
battle took place on Green river can.
yon Of the High Lonesome mountains
in Culberson county. Texas, following
raid on the Dick love ranch. Or
zoco and four COMPANIONS were pur
sued from the Sierra Blanca country
into the foothills. The last OF the
band died at dusk.
Orzoco was one OF the first to Join
Francisco Madero when the latter or
ganized his revolt against President
Diaz In 1910. Orzoco took the field
in northern Chihuahua and in com.
pany with his bullion guards as a
nucleus soon raised the most effcc
tive fighting force under Madero's
banner. Facing tremendously superior
forces he remained in the field
throughout the Madero revolution

BORDER SITUATION STILL VeYlNG
Heavy Reinforcemen.s Of U. S. Troop,
Near Brownsville.

Washington.-The rushing Of heavy
reinforcements into the trouble zone
by the United States authorities is be
lieved to have had the expected re.
suit Of overawing the Mexicans whose
raids into Texas had become so per
sistent as TO give rise to rumors OF
an organized invasion OF American
territory. While no further fighting
was reported from the trouble zone
near Brownsville, American troops
we're on the alert all along the Rio
Grande to check any recurrence OF
raids into Texas by Mexican bands.
In a bru-h. which in the annals OF
Latin-American wars, would have been
considered real battle, 30 Mexicans
were killed, the fighting all being
across the boundary.
Extraordinary precautions had been
taken by border patrol officers after
the circulation Of reports that prepar.
atoms were under way for a general
invasion of the United States terri.
tory.
Major General Funston was given
authority to handle any emergency
and commanders would not hesitate
to pursue to a rout the participants in
any movement approXimating an
armed invasion. II the raiders con.
tinued to appear only in small bands,
however, It was understood they would
not be followed across the frontier.
News dispatches from the border
stated the situation had been relieved
by cooperation OF the Carranza mill
tary authorities who removed their
troops from the river bank at Cavazos
Major General Funston reported
that General Nafaratte, the Carranza
commander at Matamoros, again had
denied that Carranza troopers were
riding the Mexican border and pro
posed bringing more Carranza troops
to the Mexican side to suppress dis
orders. The Carranza authorities have
suggested a conference TO arrange
Joint action.
