BI.ACKFOOT GOES
DOWN 10 DEFEAT
Game was Good to Watch; Visitors
Superior in Field Work

Blackfoot's luck had been too good
to last. There had to be some in
PREVENTION to save us from getting
swelled up over our successes. The
st. Anthony men beat us five to three
last Sunday, not so bad, but still
it was their victory. The field work
with which they backed their pitcher
was really first class, and some one
hand catches made by them were
pronounced marvellous. The stars
who perpetrated them were center
and right fielders; they stopped at
least two good runs for Blackfoot,
which would have tied the score.
st. Anthony scored two runs in
the very first inning. Their large
crowd of boosters on the benches in
the grandstand made a great ado and
helped them keep that lead. The
visiting rooters outclassed anything
Blackfoot ever attempted, so they
say. 1t was in the third that Black
foot scored their three runs. That
gave them lead Of one run and 1t
was not until the seventh that the
enemy climbed over that score.
The way it happened was thus:
Lundstrom made a three-base hit,
after when the next man at bat was
hit and took his base. Then Seton
won the zane with a two-bagger,
bringing in two runs, and then 1t
was soon over. The home boys were
sorely disappointed, but it was just
an unfortunate day for them.
There has been some, talk of q
return game at Idaho Falls, but
nothing definite has issued from the
home club councils

FALL OPENING OF THE
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS

The K. P. lodge members gathered
for their first meeting for the COM
ing winter season, and with about
20 visiting members from Pocatello,
they made high celebration. There
were about rs present, all of whom
helped enliven the goat that carried
the novices in their first fight. C..
l.. Rogers, of Pocatello, received the
second ana third degrees, and Of the
new Blackfoot members, Theodore
Schneider, Don Geyer and Fred Ken
nedy took the first degrees, which
they considered to be as bad as any
infamous third degree" ever was.
Bounteous refreshments were glor-
iously deplenished. Several Of the
good X. P.'s forgot that they were
out of eating trim after the long
summer of light diet, and felt sick
the following day. But they had
a good time at all events and are
planning many another big time for
the winter months.

ARE MOVING SUPPLIES

Washington, April 11.-Marked progress toward solving the problem of supplying General Pershing's columns and further evidences of co-opera ton by Carranza sol diers ia the pursuit of Villa were record- ed in todays official reports from Mex ico and the border.
 Rumors from several sources that Villa had died of blood poisoning and press dis patches from Queretaro telling of an an nouncement by the de facto government 8 war department that it had reason to be- lieve the bandit chief had been killed in action occasioned much discussion here. In some quarters there was disposition to credit the reports but army officers and state department officials suggested that they probably had been put out by Villas friends as a ruse.
 At the state and war departments to- night it was admitted that Villas exact location was not known. and that abso- lutely no news regarding General Per- shing's operations had been received for several days. The last state depa rtment report regarding Villas whereabouts was that he was near Parral and headed south
 Officials expressed great satisfa ction over the results accomplished by use of the Mexican railways in forwarding sup plies through private shippers to General Pershing. Two trainloads were reported u IetN e ltll JudfeZ recently. MaJOf Gen- eral Scott, chief of staff said the trans- portation situation was much improved, and that the troops now were apparently being supplied abundantly.
 General Funston telegraphed that a Satisfactory conference had been held by General Pershing with General Her. rera and another with General Gutierrez It was said that these conferences pres age increased activity by the Carranza force.

SHOE MERCHANTS
 ARE WELL SUPPLIED
Have Bountiful Stocks in Spite of General Short
 age Over Country

That the local shoe merchants are thor oughly alive to an unprecedented situa- ton, brought on primarily by the Euro pean war, is fully evidenced in the boun- tiful stocks and the varied and up-to- date styles offered Birmingham buyers today.
 Even before the first gun in the Eu- ropean war was fired, many factories throughout this country had sold to Flu ropean nations their entire output, thus creating an enormous demand for leather and all other materials used in the man ufacture of shoes. As result, the whole world faced a serious shortage in shoes.
 Notwithstanding these unusual condi- tions, the merchants of Birmingham were never better supplied with shoes and every express brings in new styles.
 Not even in the smartest New York shops can be found later styles than are exhibited by the Birmingham merchants, and in many instances the prices here are materially lower than the identical article is priced at New York shops.

DEFINITE NEWS AS TO DEATH OF VILLA
 EXPECTED SHORTLY
(Continued from Page One)

boundary Others of the regular army available for service aggregate about 4000.
 The failure of the expeditionary commander to ask for more troops is believed at department headquarters tu be due to his reluctance to presen a problem that might prove difficult ot solution rather than to any confi- dence that the campaign can be con- ducted much longer with his present forces.
 Dispatches received today indicated that the advanced columns now are in the vicinity of Parral, about 400 miles south of the border. General Pershing was expected to arrive at Satevo, 40 miles south of Chihuahua, tonight. No reports were received today of the operations of the cavalry attachments near Parral.
 In the absence of official information, General Funston today refused to com ment press dispatches containing a rumor that Villa was dead.
