sous policy is unchanged, although he
has taken the last possible step short
of calling for volunteers to all law
abiding Mexcans on the American side
of the frontier The announcement
did much to quiet the fears expressed
by the large Mexican population of the
city.
General Fell also reiterated pub
lie warning to all persons in FL paso
to stay OF fthe streets in the event Of
trouble.
NOT 1NTERVENTION.
Even with the call for militia how
ever. it was declared cmphatically to-
night there was nothing to indicate
that intervention plans were being
considered. Stress was laid in every
official quarter on the fact that only
defensive measures were in progress
and it was reasserted that if hostili-
ties between the two governments are
to follow they will come only from
acts of the Mexican officials.

PICKED 10
 MAKE A RUNAWAY RACE FOR BUNTING
Vols to Figure in the Fight. Teams Generally Weak in Pitching Department.
 LookOuts Going Good

With the eight playing squads of the Southern association trimmed with in the rigid requirements of the salary and number of players limit well started on the pennant race, experts pretty generally have seen fit this week to speculate on the possibility of the Crescent City making a runaway race of the affair. This they see, or they pretend to believe the Pelicans and the Nashville Volunteers with their present running gear greased in lead ing the rest of the teams, fighting along neck and neck, will figure until midseason with the Pelicans lasting better under the strain.
 And without exception, these follow CTS of Southern baseball have agreed that the Pelicans' possible superiority may be traced to steady pitching staffs.
 Already the Volunteer management has let it become known that they are in the market for pitchers, and have sent a call out to the St. Louis Browns.
 Memphis, given high position by the forecasters, has been with the trailers since the first week. Now George Nor iarity of the Chicago White Sox will take charge, ard try to juveniate, the Chickasaws where Manager Stark failed.
 Charles Frank of Atlanta, and Charles Starr at Little Rock, with Cracker and Traveller teams respec- lively, rated as first division teams, have weathered some up and down eN- periences with Manager Frank a trickle more fortunate in staying in the coveted first section. But Frank has had more or less trouble all early sea son and is worried about his twirlers. Friday he announced that Ennis Will son had been sent home with an at tack of fever and Ad Brennan, former Philly player recently released by At lanta had been recalled to the Crack CT mound. quite strong enough to give his lead- ing sluggers the edge to win consist ently in the league.
 Chattanoga, after a disastrous open ing, is going perhaps better than any other team excepting New Orleans and Nashville, critics contend. But Manager Elberfeld, with the exception of Mar shall, who is pitching brilliantly, and Joe Martina, who is trifle behind, is shy on hurlers.
 Much credit is given Mobile for pro nounced consensus of opinion is that it is 8 well balanced team outside of the pitching staff while the Birming ham Barons have been experimenting with more boxmen than any other team in the league.

LOSS OF MARTINA CAUSING LOOKOUT FANS GREAT WORRY Star Boxman Is Suffering From Sore Arm-Other
 Pitchers Lack Form.
 Fans Worried

Chattanooga May 20.-(Specia1 )-FeSr lest Joe Martina's good right arm, which held the Lookouts up almost unaided in the boy for the first two weeks of the campaign, is permanently injured is causing Chattanooga fans no end of worry Otherwise all would be joy in Lookoutville. Reports from New Or leans, where Martina has been warming the bench, are far from reassuring Ell berfeld states that Martina's arm is merely suffering from a slight soreness brought by the unaccustomed use of the spitball delivery which Joe has learned this spring. If he is bors du combat even for a short time. the Lookouts will be in a terrific hole for pitchers.
 In fact, the locals will have only one pitcher who can win game if Joe con tinues to go bad and he has been Rube Marshall, pitching a full game every third day, and acting as relief man in the interim, is hard worked individ- ual, but he's thriving on it, and the scouts are already looking him over and proclaiming that Jennings made mis- take in setting him adrift. Rube has added a great curve ball to his reper- toire: in fact, was cultivating one all last season, and has overcome, to some extent, his slowness in fielding his po- sition.
 Outside of these men, Elberfeld has had a Woeful time trying to build a pitching staff His outfield, which was hopeless at the start, was built anew after the close of the training season. His pitching staff was supposed in the beginning to be a world beater, but star after star fell down on his job, not halfway, but simply blew for keeps. Posten, the Detroit star; Karr, Herbert, Somers, krapp-all of 'em were entirely unable to get going, and Lefty Allen also has failed utterly to get to a point where he can issue less than seven bases intends to nurse Covington, who was secured from Mobile last week, and make winning pitcher out of him.
 Notwithstanding the uncertainty of the pitching staff the Loolouts have been winning consistently during the month of May and there is more baseball en- thusia sm in Chattanooga than at any time for several seasons One reason for this is that the team has the en i thusiasm itself and is giving a real bat- tie to any opponent that crosses it's path- way
 During the coming long stay at homeI following the series at Birmingham next " eek, the Lookouts hope to entrencH themselves in third place, and get ready to overtake the Vols and Pelicans late1l on. Not one change is to be made on thd club, henceforth, unless in the IAtchina depa rtment; Elberfeld says he's willing to pin his faith to his team as it standsI aside from his pitchers.
