here in the Mexican crisis
Neither the state department nor
the Mexican embassy had any word as
to when Carranza's $ reply TO the Amer

Wilson, might be expected. There
seemed little probability that the
Washington government would con-
slider further action until late in the
week. The house viii not re-assemble
until Wednesday, having adjourned
over the Fourth of July. While the
administration could take any neces-
sary defensive steps in the event thai
General Pcrshing's column was at

Wilson has advised congress of his
purpose and definite authority had
been granted

as to the time President Wilson is

reply, saying whether he desires the

that he has assumed deliberately hos

KEPT UP! FOR
FIVE MINUTES

NOGALES, July 2.-Nogales was
aroused early today by a fusillade of
shots just west of the town, but after
five minutes the firing which was an
exchange of shots between members
of the Carranza garrison in Nogales,
Sonora, and an American sentry post,
came to an end.
There were no casualties. 1t is sup
posed here that the shooting was the
outcome of a celebration in the Mex
lean town last night, in which large
quantity OF liquor was broached.
With the arrival of the California
/ field artillery, the force here will total
1900 men. A squadron of the Cali
fornia National Guard cavalry arrived
today without mounts and went into
camp. The field artillery was expected
tonight.
| The total of Carrancista fighting
men in western Sonora, including va
qui and Mayo Indians, seasoned soldiers
and citizens in training, is reported to
/ be about nineteen thousand. These
are exclusive of the forces south of
/ Douglas and around Cananea.
The menace of these numbers, how
ever, has been lessened daily by the
fact that the Mexican coal supply has
| become low while the rolling stock Of
| the railways is in poor repair.

side of the border, smallpox and starv-

To Avoid Clashes

All officers commanding the troops
along the 100 miles of border have
been cautioned to avoid clashes with
the Mexican troops that face them but
staff officers fear that something NAV
occur at any time that may serve as
the basis for further international COM

TENNIS COACHES
Are Scarce This Season and a
Number of Clubs Will Not
Have Coaches.

The demand for professional tennis
instructors continues to increase with
each succeeding season and there is
every indication that the supply will
prove entirely inadequate during the
coming summer. Every English coach.
who is In this country at the present
time. is tied up to some prominent
club by a contract which Is satisfac-
tory to both contracting parties. A
large number of the smaller clubs. as
well as the leading colleges and pre-
paratory schools, are searching in
vain for men who have the skill and
ability to teach the technique and
strategy OF tennis.
There are many American players
VINO are fitted to take these positions,
which pay good salaries, but they do
not care to lose their amateur status
and cannot afford to give the time nee
essary to successful coaching without
reimbursement. AS result the ma
tlonal association and the clubs de-
string a regular coach are confronted
by problem which does not promise
to be easily solved. The remarkable
growth Of the court game in the last
few years is responsible for the entry
of large numbers of boys and young
men who desire to be taught the proper
manner in which TO make the various
strokes and the real science of both
singles and doubles play. For the
present at least there appears to be
little chance of their securing instruc.
ton except from such amateurs as can
spare the time to developing the few
who give promise of graduating into
the ranks OF the stars as a result of
the coaching afforded them.
