A DEAD ARM
COME TO LIFE

One OF the notable come backs OF
the season is the arm OF Alva Will
1iams, veteran Washington catcher.
Detroit fans can we'll remember
how the Tigers used to run wild on
Williams whenever It became neces-
sary for him to backstop here. Early
this season, Alvas wild heaves
handed Detroit a game.
Early IN August, however. viii
liams got some life into the old wing
and now, while there are better
throwers in the league, no one can
take liberties with the old boy. He
Is no longer a utility man. Williams
is doing the regular catching for
Grifith. and here is one reason why
the Nationals have been forging
ahead 30 rapidly recently.

8uss Must Develop
Weil-Balanced Team
This Fall

A team without q star-that's the
term that can be applied TO the De
troit Central high football team
that lines up against Pontiac high
in the opening game OF the local
season today. Incidentally, IL is the
first blue and white team In years
that could be so termed.
When Coach Buss first undertook
the coaching position at Central. he
found Les" Clark at Quarterback.
Buss did not need TO develop his
line to any particular degree. nor
die he need worry about his back
field, for Clark himself was go per
cent of any combination OF which
he was a part And so the 1913
team was strong defensively mostly
because OF the offense--though
there were some good men there.
in 1914. after Clark had left,
critics predicted 2 hard row for
BYss. but he found another element
OF strength, both defensive and of
fensive. That was Lis line, almost
overlooked the season before be
cause OF Clark's brilliant attack. And
Woodrow Keeton, playing his fourth
year. made record for himself that
marked him as one OF the greatest
tackles ever turned out In Michigan
SO Buss was able, with Keeton's
aid, 10 create the greatest prep
school line ever seen here. Keeton
was the workhorse, and the fighter
that kept the men going. and
trails rather ordinary backfeld had
merely 10 follow the mammoth

Drops of rain vary In their size per
haps from a twenty fifth to a quarter
Of an inch In diameter. In parting
from the clouds they prec1pitate their
descent till the increasing resistance
opposed by the air becomes equal to
their weight, when they continue to

TO the diameter Of the drops: hence

the drops are large pour down faster

Tie cop, cold, clear atsomspehe of
mountain and mesa south of Aqua
Prieta, Sonora, was punctuated last
night with hundreds OF small, flicker
ing campfires, around which small
groups of troopers of the army of
General Villa huddled over baking
tortillas and roasting animal flesh. In
plain view OF the garrison of CarraRza
soldiers under General p. z. Gales,
in Aqua PPieta, the Villistas bivou-
acked for possibly their last night be-
fore their attack upon the border town
in an effort to crush the power of the
de facto Mexican government in
Sonora.
General Villa learned last night for
the first time that the United States
had allowed Carranza soldiers to pass
through American territory. He de-
clared he would fight the United
States and Carranza too if necessary.
American troop commanders esti-
lated the Gales force behind the
Aqua Prieta Notifications at between
$500 and 1000 men prior to the ar
rival of reinforcements. Carranza Of
ficials declare that 5000 reinforce
ments have arrived. Gales already
had some artillery and goodly supply
of field guns and claimed to have re-
ceived more of each by freight Friday
night. The Gales troops are we'll
fortified and the location of Aqua
Prieta is somewhat above the ground
over which Villistas will have to at
tack.
Besides the Notifications the Car
ranzistas have large area of country
laid with dynamite mines. The Villa
artillery can approach close enough
to she'll the place without endangering
itself from these mines, however.
Villa Claims Army of 5000.
Villa claims 5000 men. He has not
nearly that number, however. He is
said to have sixty pieces of artillery
but is not believed to have anything
like that rumber of effective pieces.
1t is known that it was not possible
for him to carry any great quantities
or artillery over the Sierra Madre
mountains from Chihuahua to Sonora.
II is claimed that through field glasses
from the roofs of houses Villa men
can be seen planting their artillery
for attack upon the Gales garrison.
There is question Of how the Gales
men will withstand such an assault
if Villa is prepared TO use his artillery
to effect.
Many of the Gales troops are In
dians, not accustomed to the fire of
| artillery, and it is question OF
whether they will remain at their
posts if the Villistas open upon them
with heavy guns.
There is skirmishing between Car
ranza outposts' and advance guards of
Villistas. Several Villista bands were
driven back and in some instances the
CarranZa outpOsts, after firing at the
advancing enemy, hurried back to the
protection of the Aqua Pr1eta guns.
General Gales sent his men into the
trenches Sunday as a precautionary
measure.
General F. T. Davis, commanding
the United States force, also sent the
American troops into the trench
