Was Nancy a 200 Trotter.

If Nancy Hanks were in her prime to-
day, could she travel a mile in two
minutes, aided by the bicycle sulky and
the lightning fast tracks OF this era?
The best mark Nancy ever made was
2:O4, along in 1892 on the Terre Haute
track. In that exhibition. the wonder
full trOtting mare pulled one of the high
wheeled sulkies weighing in the neigh
borhood Of 6 pounds. The sulkes Of
the present time weigh only about 10
pounds.
The Terre Haute track Of 1892 was
one of the best in the country. Yet it is
doubtful if that course Of twenty-four
years ago compares with the greatly i'm
proved course of the present time.
How much faster could Nancy 60 to-
day were she alive and in racing condi-
tion and aided by modern tracks and
sukies?

BAN ON ONE-SIDED
BOXING CONTESTS

Albany, May L8.-Action taken yester-
days by the State Athletic Commission
in providing for examination of fight
ers other than the regular physical ex-
animation" means that IAN end is to
be put to the One-sided battles which
have been injuring the game in New
York City, especially between heavy
weights.
Franey said the commission had con-
cluded to end the practice of matching
expert boxers against men so entirely
outclassed by them as to render the
matches burlesques.
The commission also granted licenses
for Open-air bouts in Brooklyn, contrary
to its previous policy.

From the beginning of the game it
semed a walkaway for Tech, for Pfeiffer,
pitching his first high school game, held
his opponents down to eight hits, most
of which were mere scratches, and struck
out seven men. Much credit should also
be given to Pitcher Wassman, Of Busi-
ness, for his cool headedness in all OF the
tight stages OF the game.
Until the seventh inning Business could
not score, although they managed to get
two men on third. In this inning Tech
seemed to 90 to pieces and Business, by
punching their hits. managed to score
three runs.
Tech pulled of two neat double plays in
the course of the game and the outfelders

which they handled the long fiys What

ELUDES FEDERAL AGENTS
Although Suspected of Being Connect

soldier of fortune and professional or

Conditions in Oaxaca are particular
" favorable to Diaz, for the people OF
the state now are on the verge OF hos

Diaz hopes to gather other forces IN
southern Mexico.
Although Diaz eluded the federal
agents detailed to watch him, Depart
ment of Justice officials say that since
no evidence warranting his arrest had
been found, and as he had left the
country. not as leader of any organic

former Mexican president OF that
name. has been absent from Mexico
since Huerta, whom he helped estab-
Iish in power, sent him abroad on
Diplomatic mission. Most of the time
he has spent in the United States
Although he was suspected OF being
connected with the revolutionary plot
for which Huerta and others were
indicted, no direct evidence against
him developed.
After Carranzas recognition by the
foreign governments he demanded
that the people of Oaxaca accept his
government Internationally. TO en-
force this demand, military expedl
lions are being directed against the
state. and the states army is sale
to be preparing to resist. 1t is TOWARD
this nucleus of organized resistance
DiaZ is moving.
With the Oaxaca forces as basis
il is estimated Diaz might marsha
nearly $4,000 men, but they would Dc
