" Mr.. Secretary:


Referring to the notes of June
20 and 25 last, have the honor to
say to your eXcellency that the i'm
mediate release Of the Carrizal pris-
oners was further proof of the sin
cerity of the desires Of this govern
ment to reach a pacific and satisfac-
tory arrangement of present difficult
ties. This government Is anxious to
would be unjust if it's attitude we're
misinterprctcd.
cit was also the Mexican govern
mcnt that earnestly suggested plan
line during the conferences OF Gu
dad, Juarez and IEl Paso. This gov
ernment is disposed now, as it has
always been, to seek an immediate
solution Of the two points which con-
stitute the true cause Of the conflict
between the two countries, to wit:
The American government believes
reasonably that insecurity of it's
frontier is a source Of difficulty and
the Mexican government on it's part
believes that the stay Of American
troops on Mexican territory aside
from being Il trespass on the sover-
eighty Of Mexico, is the immediate
cause Of the conflicts. Therefore, the
withdrawal OF American troops, on
one hand, and the protection Of the
frontier, on the other, are the two
essential problems, the solution Of
which must be the directing object
Of the efforts Of both govei nments.
Willing to Accept Mediation.
The Mexican government is will
ing to consider in a quick and pract-
cal way, and prompted by spirit Of
concord, the remides which should
be applied to the present situation.
Several Latin-American coan-
tries have offered their friendly me-
diation to the Mexican government
and the latter has accepted 1t In prin
ciple. Therefore. the Mexican gov
ernment only awaits information
that the government Of the United
States would be disposed to accept
this mediation for the purpose men-
toned above, or whether it is still
of the belief that the same results
may be attained by means of direct
negotiations between both govern
mentS.
"'In the meantime this govern
ment proposes to employ all efforts
that may be at it's disposal to avoid
the recurrence Of new incidents
which may complicate and aggravate
the situation. At the same time it
hopes that the American government
on it's part may make use Of all ef-
forts to prevent also new acts OF it's
military and civil authorities on the
frontier that might cause new COM
plications.
"I avail myself Of this opporuu-
nifty to reiterate to your eXcellency
the assurances Of my most distil-
guished consideration. (Signed):
&C. Aguilar.
"Having thus complied with the
higher instructions of my govern
mcnt, it affords me great pleasure to
reitcrate to your excellency the as
surance Of my highest consideration.
(Signed): sc. Arredondo."

By n. G. BYRD.

There is much speculation this fall
regarding the probable strength of the
University of Virginia eleven. Reports
come from Charlottesville that the
squad is showing splendid form and
that the team as a whole should be a
powerful combination. There is doubt,
though, If Virginia will turn out an
aggregation as formidable as that
which represented it in 1915.
Virginia's squad each year usually is
large enough to preclude the possibility
of the teams standard being lowered
much by the loss Of one or two men,
ception. Only one member of the
splendid quartet of backs still is in
school and one lineman is not in this
country. Were it not for the fact that
two Of these players are gone. the 9TH
er men probably could be replaced
rather easily. The completion of a
postgraduate course by Mayer and the
absence of Thurman leave gaps which
are not easily going to be filed. In
fact. it is extremely doubtful If two
men will be found capable of develop
ing the powers possessed and shown by
those lost.
The value of a great punter and place
kicker to a team cannot be accurately
gauged. At all times he is of great
worth. but in a contest In which both
elevens are so evenly matched that 1t
is almost Impossible for either to gain
consistently he is absolutely indis-
pensable. There is not much probabil-
ity that any man will be developed
who can kick as well as Thurman. The
is about the only word
to express it-work done by him
against Yale and Harvard was the big
gest factor in the remarkable showing
of Virginia In those two contests. The
absence Of such player will be felt in
such struggles more than is thought.
Mayer was one Of the greatest indi-
vidual backs in the east. Many who
saw him play against Yale and Har-
ward expressed opinions that he was
inferior to none in line plunging and
compared to the greatest players in
all-round ability fell but little short.
No matter how well developed Vir-
ginias backfield may be, the absence
of Mayer at times when a couple of

JUMPING RACES POPULAR.
Will Be Featured at Laurel, Starting
Next Monday.

Although the opening day IS a week
from today. the course of the Maryland
state fair at Laurel is ready for the
race meeting. Only a few little odd
Jobs remain to be finished before the
plant will be in tjptop shape. No
meeting ever held in Maryland has
created keener interest among the low
ers of the thoroughbred. and it is safs
to predict that with fair weather the
largest assemblage that ever witnessed
racing in Maryland will be on hand
Monday afternoon, October 2. when the
meeting will be ushered in, to run
twenty-six racing days.
The meeting at Laurel Park next
month promises to have new social
importance. From the beautiful club
house the contests will be watched by
the exclusive set of New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington and
Virginia. Many new members have
been enrolled, and 1T will be a distin-
guished gathering of the advocates of
racing that will watch the tests from
the clubhouse porches.
The steeplechasing, which will be an
important part of the sport, will be par
ticularly popular with the clubhouse
set This year an effort will be made to
have one chase day, and the stables
that have already made reservations
make that seem easily possible

Mediocre Showing in Beat

GIANTS MAY ESTABLISH
A NEW WORLD RECORD
By Winning Twin Bill Today New

Mark of 20 Straight Victories.
BY ]. ED GRILLO.

Walter Johnson, who usually pitches
his best ball during the cool weather,
near the end Of the season, has failed to
win q single game on the Nationals
present trip and has lost three. He lost
the first game he pitched-against Sisler
in st. Louis, to 0. Cleveland beat him
to 2 and the Tigers put it over to 5.
The Grifmen made five runs for John
son yesterday and this usually is
euogh to assure victory for him, but he
could not hold the Tigers below this
score, again losing by one run.
Howard Ehmka who has been boost
ed AZ being good pitcher. did not fare
well against the Nationals yesterday,
being hit for ten safeties. issuing five
passes and striking out but one.
The Red Sox lost tough game of ball
yesterday. Though Leonard allowed but
four hits, all were for extra bases.
Cleveland made three doubles. Wambs-
ganss, Turner and Gandil making them,
and Kavanagh came through with
scratch home run with the bases full
In the fifth inning, the ball rolling un-
der the screen in left field.
Joe Judge has been drawing a lot of
bases on balls lately. He got couple
yesterday. and In one of the Cleveland
games he walked three times in four
trips to the plate.
After playing the final game in the
west in Detroit today, the Nationals go
to Philadelphia, where they play We'd
nesday, Thursday and Friday and Sat
urday, after which they go to New
York for three games, closing the sea-
son there a week from next Wednes-
day.
The Red Sox have the Yankees as
their visitors in Boston for four games,
starting Wednesday, and then wind up
the season woth three games with the
Athletics in Boston.
Detroit and Chicago play their last
games next Sunday, October 1.
The Giants have equaled the record
the Chicago White Sox made in 1906.
when they won the American League
pennant and defeated the Cubs for the
world championship. That year they
won nineteen consecutive games, but
fell down in this city when they lost
double-header.
The Giants are likely to continue their
winning streak long enough to beat all
records for consecutive victories. The
Providence club Of the National League
in 1884 won twenty straight games. due
largely to the work of "Old Hoss" Rad
bourne, who won most of those games
himself.
Radbourne was a remarkable pitcher
in more ways than one. His method OF
warming up before the game was to
stand at second base and throw to the
plate.

Ehmke Also Is Pounded.

Howard Ehmke opposed johnson and
was not so good as in his three pre-
vious games with the Tigers. Wild
ness got him into trouble of various
sorts. either because it enabled men to
walk or put the Syracuse juvenile in
a hole where he had to lay it over to
be hammered. Ten hits were taken
off Ehmke. and but for gorgeous sup
port, he probably would have had a
stormy afternoon.
Cobb gave the 10000 fans who paid to
see the last Sunday game of the season
in Detroit fine valedictory, getting
three singles and a double in four trips
to the plate. Every one was a crash,
too The Georgian drove in one run
and scored two himself. so he was not
hitting merely for exhibition purposes.
Johnson seemed to be unable to get one
past Ty, who slammed the ball to all
fields. Once he nearly decapitated Wal
ter with line drive, which was no nice
way to treat man who was helping
him to pile up a batting average.
Heilman walked at the opening of the
second and was forced when Young
bunted. Stanage singled to center and
was forced by Ehmke Both runners
checked in on Wits second two-sacker
Leonard grabbed Bush's warm ground
er and threw him out. Cobb hit at the
start of the third and was out at sec
ond trying to make a double of the
blow. Witt singled, made second on a
passed ball and scored when Rice let
Crawford's punch get through him for
three bases. Heilman fouled and STAN
age popped. with Young's walk in be-
tween.
The Nationals had Ehmke in trouble
in the second and fourth. when he
passed the first man up, but couldn't
put anything across. Williams started
the fifth with a single and johnson beat
bunt past Ehmke. Leonard also bunt-
ed and. Williams was out at third. Fos-
ter hit Walter home with single to
left and Milan was safe on grounder
to Heilman, filling the bases. Smith S
sacrifice fly cashed Leonard and Rice
flied to Cobb.
Detroit went ahead again in this in
ming on Cobb's single and steal and
Veach's hit to center Bob tried to
make second on the throw-tnand was
out when Johnson cut the ball off After
Sam had grounded to Judge, Heilman
tripled, but Young fouled to Leonard.
The Nationals broke out again in the
raded and scored on Fosters triple to
the bleachers. Milan hit Eddie home
with a short single to left and was
forced by Smith, who died stealing.
Rice grounded to Bush.
Cobb doubled to the left field wall
with one out in the seventh and Veach's
blow sent him home. Rice made bad
throw to the plate and Bob went to
third. He was run down on Crawfords s
second pass with one down in the ninth
and advanced on Fosters out Milan
hit to left and Veach got Leonard at
the plate by perfect peg. The score:

DETROIT. September 25. - Walter
Johnson's fast ball was never any
swifter than yesterday afternoon.
Coming up to the plate, the big pitch
er's offerings were just about on sched-
ule, but going back off the Tigers
bats they were running on express
time with a clear track.
Not since Walter has been in the
league has any club given him a more
severe battering. The score shows
eleven thumps for total of seventeen
bases collected by the home crew. but
1t conveys no adequate idea of the
resonance and cleanliness of the biffs
Naturally. Washington was beaten
when its star hurler was being thus
abused. The Tigers had a hard time
putting it over at that, winning 6 to

because Bob Veach made a superfine
