indication Of opposition toathe advance
Of the American forces by Villistas
came in the news that Villas follow
ers had burned a 250-foot railroad
bridge near Corralitos. '@@

Northwestern railroad between Sum
nit and San Pedro and directly in
line of the advance Of the main ex-
pedit1onary force, which, started from
Columbus, would strike the railroad at
Guzman, forty miles north of Corralitos.
The bridge was built on low trestles
and spanned a wide gulch.
It was close to the latter place that
the Villistas are said to have muir
dered Ave Mexican ranchers on Sun
day and drove off their horses.
j Arrivals from Columbus today re-
ported intense activity at the Ameri-
can military base. They said fresh
troops were being sent forward across

Kauff Makes Friends
Benny Kauff left host of friends in
Philadelphia when he departed for New
York Saturday night. Benny went through
the first series as a National Lacquer with
batting average of .250 and a perfect
fielding average. For two days he listened
to the jeers of the crowd and the riding"
of the players, but he took all that was
coming to him without showing the white
feather. In fact, he fought back.
Last Saturday he received round of
cheers after he struck out and an ovation
was rendered him when he was caught
sleeping off first base. After he took his
position in centre field the rooters worked
on him as only true rooters can work.
Benny did the best he could. He tried
to deliver, but failed. The crowd real
ICED this In the ninth inning, and as he
stepped up to the plate he was handed
genuine cheer-a cheer that is given only
to the deserving Kauff has explained
that he is not responsible for the great 81
am stories published about him and Is
trying to live down the unsavory repu.
tation. He has made n good start, and
before another has gone the fans will
have an opportunity to Judge him for
his true worth
Wonderful Fielder y
Kauff is a wonderful fielder. In tho
last series he was playing against
strangers, yet he fieded his position per-
fectly. In the first game he robbed Luz
derus of n sure double when he made
that running catch, and another time he
fielded single SO rapidly that he threw
out a man at the plate.
Benny Is a fielder who seldom plays
batter. Instead he watches the pitcher
and moves according to the balls that
are pitched. He did this against the
Phillles and did not make a mistake.
When Kauff took a swing at the ball
and missed Saturday 1t was the first time
in the series that he failed to connect
with the horsehide when he tried to do
It. He either nicked a foul or hit the
ball fair but missed strike was not in
his repertoire
