TWo Home Tits
For Notre Dame
TeamNext Week

Notre Dame fans are looking for
ward with interest to the final home
games of the season, both Of which
will be played on Cartier field next
week.
Niagara university, of Niagara, n.
Y, will lock horns with Harper
Hoosiers next Wednesday. The
fasteners viii make a trip through
the middle west, and they have
hopes of taking a few Of the col
lege teams in this section into camp
Niagara has had a good record in
past years and it is understood that
it is fully as strong this season as
il has ever been.
The game which will hold the
greatest interest, however, will be
the clash with purdue here next
Thursday. 1t has been years since a
team representing the Lafayette
school has appeared on the local
diamond. and fans hereabouts have
long been yearning 10 see the Boiler
makers and Notre Dame clash. The
two teams met at Lafayette week
before last and Notre Dame won an
thinning battle, 1 TO 0. Since that
game Purdue has been itching for
revenge. while the Hoosiers are de-
termined 10 repeat.
"Swede" Edgren, who let the
BOilermakers down with two hits in
the game at Lafayette, will probably
be the choice of Coach Harper TO
face the Purdue aggregation next
Thursday. and Shrode. who pitched
a beautiful game for the Boiler
makers in the same combat, will un-
doubtedly be sent back against the
gold and blue.
Capt Weber. shortstop on the Pur-
due team, is a well-L-Own South
Bend boy. He formerly starred on
the local high school team, and later
was a member of the Ball Bands
Weber is a classy infelder and many
OF his friends are anxious TO see him
in college baseball.
The Niagara game will start al
S:40 o'clock. while the clash with
Purdue will BEGIN at $50.

AMERICAN RANCHES

Mexican bandits attacked four white
persons on the T. A. Coleman ranch at
San Samuel, drove them to the brush
and escaped across the Rio Grande
with eighty-three horses.
The same party Of Mexicans, it is
reported, attacked the Johnson and
Coleman ranch in the same vicinity
American soldiers were sent in mo.
tor trucks to follow the trail of the
bandits.
An unverified report says the horses
had been recovered, but whether any
fighting had taken place was not
known.
Two American cowboys, George
Conover and Arthur Myers, were cap
tured and carried off in the raid on
the Johnson and Coleman ranch.
They were released later and reach
ed Palofox, Tex, fifty miles west Of
Laredo, unframed.
Luis de la Rosa, a notorious bandit
leader, is said to have been with the
party which raided this ranch. The
Mexicans had rounded up a bunch of
horses when they were discovered by
Conover and Myers and a Mexican
employe of the ranch, who stampeded
the animals.
