"OId Roman" Comiskey is the own
 CT of what is probably the most ex-
 pensive baseball outfit ever assembled
 under one tent. Eddie Collins set
 $30,o00. Ray Schalk, one of the
 greatest backstops in captivity, was
 bought from Milwaukee in 1912. and the Old Roman is said to have dug up
 $17,Oo0 in cash and players. Murphy cost $10,0O0. This quartet therefore represents an investment of more than $1OO,0O0. Comiskey's salary list is said to be in the neighborhood of ninety thousand bones. If the White
 sox fail to deliver Comiskey's bank account is likely to suffer.
 It begins to look as if Carrigan's chances for another pennant are de- pendent largely upon his twirling staff Aside from the pitchers, the Red Sox do not shape up as well as several other clubs in Ban Johnson's little old
 league. Still, good pitching is pret- ty good asset. Look what has hap pened to the Giants since Big Six hit the toboggan.
 Ray schalk, the White Sox back
 stop, is not only the stellar catcher of the American League, but he is a bear with the bat at critical times. He seems to have an uncanny ability to land on the pellet at such times when a nit means runs, ana because CT Ln1S he is a far better batter than his aver ages would indicate. Sohalk Is a, na- tive e% Illinois and is only twenty three. His rise to fame was spectacu- lar. It was only five years ago that he started his professional career in the little city of Taylorvil1e. H., near Springfield. In mid-season of his
 first year he was sold to Milwaukee, and just a year later the Brewers sold him to Comiskey, Scha1k batted near 1y 400 with Tay1orvi1le, but since then
 his average has ranged from .244 to .2s6.
 Although he is nearing forty, Nick AItrock is still working hard for the Washington club. Nick is not only a star as a comedian. but he is the pro-

Bill played in the outer garden for McGraw in 1909, and the following year he was with the St. Louis Cardinals. After leaving the majors he played for a time with Toronto, his native city. where he aft erwards entered business.

and tastes good.
It takes hold Of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conquers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
and heals and soothes the inaamed mem
i also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.

1t is alleged, and has been testified
to by one person in the Imperial JUS
tice court by a man arrested for false
registration, that Lee approached per-
sons in Imperial who told him OF their
being employed at various points in
the valley, and induced them to let
him register them from Imperial, rep

vote there through having at some
time slept in the town one night.

Long Villa Chase Expected.

Washington, April 4.-News re-
garding the operations of the Amer
lean forces in Mexico was awaited
with intense interest in official cir
cles today.
Routine messages only have reached
the war department from the border
since the official report of the route
of the main column of Villas outlaws
by Dodd's cavalry.
While the early capture of Villa is
looked for in official quarters, some
army officers fear that failure to take
him at the Guerrero fight may result
in long and dogged chase.
Latest reports from commanders of
warships in Mexican waters say that
no trace of Felix Diaz, reported to be
in Mexico at the head Of new revo-
luton, has been found.
The protocol with the Carranza
government, designed to cover all
questions relating to the hunt for
Villa, is expected to be concluded this
week.

from Zurich.

London, April 4.-The situation in
Holland is the greatest mystery Of
the war, and it may prove to be the
key to the strategy which was decided
on at the recent conference Of the AL
lies in Paris. The intimation comes
from Germany that the Allies have
served an ultimatum On Holland in
the form of demand that she close
her border to trade with Germany
with a view to preventing supplies
from the outside world reaching the
latter nation, and that Holland is pre-
pairing to resist this demand.
On the other hand, it is claimed that
the reason for the mobilization of the
Dutch army and the taking over OF
the railroads by the government, with
all preparations for war, is the resent
ment of the Dutch people at the sink
ing of their vessels on the high seas,
presumably by German submarines.
The unconfirmed rumor OF the con-
centration of the Dutch army on the
German frontier, if correct, may be
construed as an indication that Hol-
land is getting in shape to make a
very definite demand on Germany for
cessation of this kind of warfare
against neutrals, with the alternative
cf joining the Allies.

Villa in Flight.

Ell Paso, April 4.-Francisco Villa,
unwounded and accompanied by only
eight men, was at Catevo, 80 miles
south Of Chihuahua, two days ago, ac-
cording to information received here
from Mexican source which has been
usually reliable.
If this information is correct, it
bears out previous reports that the
bandits troops are headed toward Cor
raj, and that he is leading his Ameri-
can pursuers by at least 60 miles.
The route said to have been taken
by Villa is one with which he is
thoroughly familiar and which is
known among the poems as Pancho's
road.
"Villa, according to the man who
brought the story, has never taken
part in any fighting with either Amer
ican or Carranza troops. He left the
main body of his troops in the Guer-
zero district with orders to oppose,
as far as they could, the American
advance. At the same time the poems
were instructed to give information
freely to American officers, always
provided that the information was
false.
The story of Villas being wound
ed was carefully concocted for ex-
press purpose of misleading General
Pershing and Colonel Dodd in the be-
lief that the bandit was hiding and
thereby inducing them to split forces
in small searching parties who would
waste time in wild Sierras while Vii
la was making headway south.
