Against villa Band-Cnrrnnzn Gene
raj Died Rather than Retreat.

Ramos was killed in fierce and
bloody battle that ragged all yester-
day between Il small force Of de facto
troops and a large band of Villa fol-
lowers at Corral ranch. Is miles
southwest Of Jiminez. Both sides
suffered heavy losses.
Rather than retire to Jiminez
without carrying out his orders.
which were not to return unless he
was able to report success, Gen. Ra-
mos fought in his entrenchments un-
til killed, cheering his men on to the
last.
The Carranza troops were sur
rounded Monday at daybreak, and
for more than IL hours held their
position against heavy odds in the
hope that reinforcements soon would
arrive.
AT nightfall, after their leader had
been killed and the greater part Of
the command killed or wounded. the
survivors retired to Jiminez with
their wounded.
Three times during the day the
villa men dashed through heavy fire
to the edge OF the Carranza trenches,
but were unable to take them.
Reinforcements. which had been
ordered to join Gen. Ramos at Cor
raj, were delayed by wreck near
Ortiz, and the proposed general Of
fensive against the Villa forces did
not materialize.
After the Corral clash the garri-
son at Santa Rosalia was rushed
south to guard Jiminez against any
attack. In the meantime. 1000
troops, including the famous brigade
Of Domingo Arreta, were sent south
to attack the forces which cut of

campaign, is keeping in close COM
munication with Gen. Trevino.

CarlunZn Planned Defiant Note ?

Washington, July 5.-Coinciden-
tai with the delivery Of the pacifica-
tory note from Carranza a remarka-
BILE. but unofficial. act OF diplomacy
has been revealed. 1t became known
to-day that CarranZa had prepared a
definant note, but official diplomats,
including American and Mexican
leaders, and various persons in SYM
pathy with the cause Of labor, got
busy. The list included Lincoln Stef-
fens, recently a guest OF Carranza
for several months, and Samuel
Gompers, who was aided through
the endorsement by him by Mexican
labor leaders.
Close Carranza Intermediates
bombarded the de facto President
without let-up, concentrating on the
fact that President Wilson was sim
cere in the wish to keep hands off in
the Mexican internal affairs. They
proved to Carranza that the Presi-
dent was anxious even to prevent in
tervention, so the definant note was
replaced by the pacificatory one.

BOIL WEEVIL DAMAGING CROP.
Crop Bulletin Reports Pest on In
crease in Texas and Mississippi.

Washington, July damage to
cotton by boil weevil is increasing,
the National Weather and Crop Bull
letin to-day announced In review
ing weather conditions for the week,
which ended yesterday, the bulletin
said:
THE light rainfall in the northern
part of the cotton belt allowed for
carrying on much needed cultivation.
In parts of the central and southern
cotton area cultivation was hindared
and the fields are somewhat grassy.
The crop was favorably affected by
the weather in most places, however,
and made satisfactory growth. Ow-
ing to earlier unfavorable conditions,
the fields are irregular and in places
the plants are small and backward.
The plants are blooming in Central
South Carolina, are forming bolls
nicely in Georgia, and are fruiting
we'll in Louisiana.
"The damage by the boil weevil is
increasing in Texas and Mississippi,
and the weevil are reported in Ala
bama and Arkansas, and the damage
continues in Louisiana. Cotton lice
are reported in some sections Of Ala
bama."
Corn in the lower Mississippi Vel
ley has been benefited by showers,
but they came too late in some sec
tions. The crop is tasseling in South
Carolina and is caring we'll in Ar
kansas, while early corn is maturing
in Texas, but rain is needed in the
north and southwest sections of that
State.

Progressive Farmer.)


The problem of bettering the con-
dition Of renters has received much
discussion. This, like many other
problems, can only be solved by the
tenant and landowner working to-
gether. 1t Is case of "do unto
others as you would have them do
unto you" God did not intend that
the world should belong to one man,
or even a few men, and the old sys-
tenn Of landlordism must go.
If you have a renter on your farm
give him a garden, a watermelon
patch, or any other small plot that
will enable him to grow his own
provisions and live more cheaply.
Teach him that the first principle of
good farming is to furnish home
grown food for his family and feed
for his livestock. After this has been
provided for, devote the remainder
of the time to growing money
crop.
And above all, provide home for
your renters, not merely a house.
Encourage them to make the place
where they live look beautiful. Let
them have flowers and shade trees,
and il you can't paint the house in
which they live, whitewash it for
them. If you are renter, do all you
can to make the place where you live
beautiful. even If you do not stay
there for more than one year. If
every renter would do his best and
every landowner would be a man like
God intended he should be, the ten
ant problem would be solved already.
Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and ex-
ample, spent all his life here on
earth helping others and teaching
them better way to live.

 The winners of the basketball league formed August "A, were Captain Will liam Kenney's for the boys and Cap tain Helen Lynch for the girls.
 The final play festival of the season was held on Septem Der 4 (Labor Day) and was a pronounced success. Un- der the most favorable weather condl- tions the affair opened at 10 a. m., and in the afternoon it was estimated that nearly 5000 were in attendance. A feature program was arranged for the day, the track events, folk danc- ing a baseball game between the Pio neers and the St. Thomas Seminary alumni. On this occasion we were fa- vored with the presence of Mayor c. A. Ouiglev who was an honorary off, cial, and he tossed out the first ball for the game. His Honor, also presented the cup to the winner of the all- around championship, George Dillon
 The total attendance at the play grounds during the season was 2O,311, an average of PTS daily. The totals of those participating in various branches of sports is as follows: Ten his games, 2,320 baseball games, 285; competing in athletics, 2,764; in other forms of amusements and games, BOP.

 Later on McGraw added Buck Her zog and Slim Sallee, the most valuable jnf1elder in baseball and one of the games best lefthanders. Even this made no great change in affairs, for the Giants continued to founder along.
 And then McGraw replaced Fred Merkle with younk Holke and traddd Larry Doyle for Heinie Zimmerman
 It would be hard to say that Zim- merman and Holke outclassed Merkle and Doyle. Yet from that spot on the Giant machine suddenly broke loose again and pitchers who for two- months had been second-rate began to work like Alexanders and Johnsons. There was no particular reason why the arrival of Zim and Holke should produce great pitching. But, what ever happened, from pale and f1abby array McGraws club almost in a day turned into the one great club of the older league-the only club, apparently, with 8 chance to beat the Red Sox in October.

 At the end of the scrimmage the scrubs received the ball on the var sity's 2O-yard line, but could not score in many plays, even by the use of for ward passes and drop kicks.
 Eli Shows Vim.
 New Haven, Conn.,, Sept 27.- Travis Smith, Yale's new varsity quarterback, strengthened his hold on the position to which he was pro- noted last week, when he caught kickoff yesterday afternoon lodged four opposing tacklers, and, after covering eighty yards and chasing through the entire second eleven, scored touchdown in the longest run of the afternoon.
 Aside from this dash, the varsity scored three touchdowns, Joe Neville and Emil Jacques each making their way over the line from the five-yard mark for a score. Effie Waite, the other member of the bacllfield, circled end for two gains of twenty wards each scoring a touchdown in his sec ond plunge The scrubs gained little territory, but once held the regular at the five-yard line.
 Gates returned to left end, after an absence of week. and Buck Church was tried out on the other wing. For the first time this season the veteran Club Sheldon took part in the scrimmaging. He was assigned to tackle, but retired after twenty minutes of play in favor of Charley Taft. Captain Black played the en- tire thirty-five minutes of scrimmag- ing.
 Altogether the varsity showed dash, but lapsed into raggedness on several occasions. Jacques played the first half of the practice at fullback, Rex Hutchinson replacing him. Hutchin- son was unable to gain regularly and Jacques went back into the bacIfield for the closing scrimmages

A New Phase of the Amateur
 Question.

We were discussing the amateur standing of certain entries a day or so ago when Colonel Franklin P. Adams, the daring and intrepid Wheeze King, blew in upon the scene.
 What" said Colonel Adams, en tering dem ocratically into the polite chit chat of the moment, what is the main idea of the meeting?"
 I've were discussing" we answered "the amateur standing of Miss Clare Cassel. Have you any contribution to make on the subject. ?'
 We knew on the instant that we had made a serious mistake in ad- vancing this query by the flash that came into the Great Humorist's eye.
 "Tut-tut!' he replied. 'I see noth- ing complex in that case. Why shouldn't she lost her standing?"
 "The answer being?" we remarked
 "She was an ice skater, wasn't she? The Wheeze King said gloomily, duck ing a cuspidor just in time to save his well known brow.

well. coach of Penn's varsity, had an earnest talk yesterday afternoon with Harold Gaston, coach of the scrub team, who saw West Virginia at prac tice and Folwell decided to strengthen his team for the coming game by put ting Ben Derr at right half back and Bill Quigley at left halfback in the scrimmage Hobby Light played quarterback and Graves Williams was at fullbach.
 The scrub, by making frequent sub stitutions, was able to give the varsity tough opposition. In the middle of the practice Fred Eble was sent in to replace Derr, and Bryant went to quarter. Miller played left tackle, as Captain Matthews was attending to his college roster. Robinson played at left guard, the place left vacant through the absence of Henning, who was operated in Sunday night for ap- pendicitis.
 The work of Titzel on the scrub was particularly watched. If his showing warrants it he will be placed on the varsity.
 One hundred and thirty-two foot ball players romped about Franklin Field this afternoon. It was the larg- est squad that has appeared there in practice for five years.

Tn the Philadelphia Brooklyn series which opens on Thursday of the clr- rent or incumbent week, it might be just as well for the Brooklyn club to win at least two out of three games if there is any intention on Brook lyn's part to participate in the next world series. For there is a distinct hunch abroad in the land that Brook lyn will be fairly lucky to win more than one game from the Giants next week while the Phillies are engaged with the Braves.
 With the schedule as 1t is, Moran $ club has a chance to pick up at least two games next week, and if his club can win the coming Brooklyn series, Colonel Ebbets' dream of $5- per-seat empire will be a gray ghost wandering in the gloaming of Lost Desires.
 For the Giants, having crushed the Phillies four straight. are more like ly than not to inf1ict the same amount of poignant anguish upon the Phillies' leading rivals.

 SCRIMMAGE WORK
Varsity Scores Four TouchdoVns
 Against SCrubS- Yale Shows Vim

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 27.-Har- wards hardest early-season workout was given to the Crimson football players in the Stadium yesterday at- ternoon. The coaches made 1t test day for the backfield men, and all the candidates were worked to the limit. So good was the attack which fol- lowed the signal drill between Teams A and B that the varsity was able to score four touchdowns against the scrubs, who went into the scrimmages fresh after two days rest.
 The touchdoWns were real ones, the varsity starting in each case from the vicinity of it's 2O-yard line and drlV- ing steadily up the field. The first string men were not stopped. The quarter backs used little open play, al though here and there an attack was made at the wings The interference was better than it was in the game last week.
 Gamer, Tha acher, Horween and Horne were the men who made the scores There was another shift on the first string line, Moseley Taylor being placed at left tackle beside Dadmun and Gamer moved to tackle on the wing Phinney was again started as first left end and yesterday Wood, who played end with him on the freshman team last fall, was taken up from the second-team squad
 Practically all of the varsity line- men were in scrimmage for the of fensive drill, but the main attention was paid to the backs. Each of them, starting with Bond, Hitchcock and Casey, was worked many times in succession and was coached constant ly. Murray Taylor, quarter on the freshman team two years ago, played
