CONTEST NO FREE FOR ALL.
Eastern League Offers $1oo Prize For
 Experts in Schedule Making.

The failure of the Eastern baseball league schedule committee to show program for the playing season is somewhat disappointing to managers, for they would like to know at this date just what they are booked for the season. However, the schedule com- mittee bungled and an attempt is be- ing made to get a program that will prove satisfactory all around. It is stated that the idea of offering S1O0 for a new schedule is not to make a free-for-al contest out of the pro- gram making, but to encourage ex- perts and only experts in that line of work to show what they can do. Only four or five candidates at the very most are wanted in the contest ana probably not as many as that Mag mates feel now that they have thrown

Why France Got Out of Mexico.

Why France Got Out of Mexico.
 An editorial in the April Woman's Home Companion gives real reason why France got out of Mexico after the Civil War-a reason that has con- siderable significance today:
 When the Civil War was over we found France in possession of Mexico" Our government intimated to the French government that its presence there was undesirable, and the French withdrew. Why2 Because the righteousness of our protest made Ma poleon ashamed of himself? Not at all. It was because at that moment we had a million trained men under arms. And having the million men ready to flint, we did not have to fight That victory was won without the fir- ing of a single gun or the loss O. a single drop of blOod-because we were prepared for victory"

WILLARD MORAN MUST
 DO THEIR LEVEL BEST.
Or They Will Be censured in New
 York City.

The promoters of the Jess Willard Frank Moran fight at Madison Square Garden, New York, Saturday night. stand in a position of making or breaking the sport in New York state. Owing to the fact of such large purses being given for a ten-round no-decis- ion bout and of the many outside cap- italists interested, there are all kinds of unpleasant rumors afioat concern ing the coming battle. They may be well founded or not. But there Is one thing sure, if Willard and Moran do not get in there and do their level best, it will end the boxing game in New York city and perhaps the state.
 As everyone knows there are many opposed to the scrap being fought in New York under the present condI- tions and those critics will be out in full force watching every move of the fighters through a microscope trying to detect something irregular. They will do their best to prove a fake or a frame-up and that's why the fight CTS and their representatives must conduct themselves beyond any sus- picion on the night of the fight.
 Of course Willard and Moran are pulling down big money for ten rounds. No decision will be given, and 1t is true that should they go the ten rounds, it means more big money and even a much larger purse for return meeting of 20 rounds In some other place. There is every req son in the world, which may lead one to see the financial advantage of the men boxing ten rounds evenly. Not only would it be e big financial bene- fit to the fighters, but to their mana gers and promoters as well. They could all get together and pull another fight in some other place and all hands fatten their bank accounts.
 The boxing game is a sport; the way it is conducted at the present time, which is beyond control. Such Willard and Moran be censured in New York, there is nothing to pre- vent them fighting in some other city

This year he will have to battle with a younger man. Lew Malone, and Larry Is schooling him to take his place. Lajoie is much inter- ested in Malone. as he realizes he can not go on forever.

INNOCENT MUST SUFFER
By CARL L. ZEISBERG
Evening Ledger sta1 Correspondent


Ell PASo, Tex, Aug. T. - Just why dis
charges for Pennsylvania soldiers with de-
pendent families are not being issued faster,
and why relief is not being dispensed more
rapidly to deserving families in Philadelphia
developed today. It is the old story of the
innocent suffering for the transgresslons OF
the guilty.
Here was soldier who went to the bor-
DER leaving behind family and an income
of s10S0 n year, which ceased when he
donned his uniform. Relief for his family
was requested and granted. In checking up
the list of dependents the Colonel Of his regi-
ment discovered the fact that by giving Up
his position this soldier had more than
doubled his income. He Is n captain with
a salary Of $4,000 year.
Two cases came to light today in which
money has been paid to families of men
not in camp here The amazing facts were
discovered when requests came asking for
the discharges of these men. Their enlist
ments expired at Mount Gretna and they
disappeared, for all that their families know
and for all that their former officers know.
RIGID INQUIRY ASKED.
Rigid investigation of all cases has been
asked of the Citizens Relief Committee as
n result.
The Second Regiment took a 10-mile
practice hike northward on the Alamogordo
road today. Led by Colonel Turner and
the khaki columns swung along the dusty
road looking for all the world like regulars.
Today was circus day In the First and
Third Regiments. where the SS mules which
each regiment received from the Govern
nent, were initiated into the mysteries of
quilting army wagons. Each regiment has
yet to draw 40 horses and mules to COM
plete its complement of animals.
Instruction in the operation OF machine
guns began today when the officers of the
new machine-gun companies reported at
Fort Bliss for their first lessons by Major
Jordan, of the United States Army Ord
nance Department. The officers, who will
attend school" seven hours a day, are
divided into two classes those of the Sec
ond, Fourth, Sixth Eighth and Eighteenth
Regiments forming the first class. and those
of the First, Third Tenth, Sixteenth and
cavalry regiments forming the second.
Mechanicians from the plant of the manu-
facturers demonstrated the working of the
new Lewis guns.
Shower baths today are being erected for
enlisted men in the regiments of the First
Brigade and In the Sixteenth Regiment
camp. The officers showers are being in
stalled more slowly.
