The story told by Quevedo's messenger in Sahuaripa and recounted by Major Benevides was highly romantic in detail
 The colonel one of General P. Elias Gales most trusted commanders, was sent to Chihuahua with a command of several hundred men a few months ago, to cooperate with General Ire vino. He served in Chihuahua until about six weeks ago when he was ar rested and removed from his command on the charge of disobeying the ex- press commands of General Trevino by raiding a ranch owned by influential Carrancistas. He was removed to Chihuahua City, tried by court mar tial, being sentenced to be shot and was liberated from the penitentiary when Villa raided Chihuahua Septem- Der 16
 Quevedo was given command of a regiment by Villa. After remaining with Villa for a few days, the colonel left the main command with his troops and marched to Dolores Pass, east of Sahuaripa, about 255 miles south of the border, where he went into camp to await word from Gales as to whether he would receive him.

TO RESURFACE
CITY'S STREETS
Commissioners Lynch May Urge
This Plan Instead of Patch
ing System

Resurfacing of whole sections of
highway instead of extensive patch
ing will likely be urged for Harris
burg's street repair program next year
by City Commissioner w. II. Lynch,
superintendent of streets and public
improvements
The new departure will be made
with the idea of obtaining more per-
manent and efficient results at less ex-
pense and with the further object nf
in time, giving Harrisburg miles and
miles of practically newly paved high
ways. Ample facilities for this pur-
pose are possible as the city's asphalt
plant can readily turn out all the ma
terial that may be needed.
The plant incidentally is turning out
the surfacing material by the truck
load and an additional supply of 400
tons of asphaltic cement has to be con-
tracted for by Mr.. Lynch. Bids will be
opened at noon Wednesday, June z
for the material to be delivered by not
later than July 1.
To date Mr.. Lynch has repaired
Third, Maclay and Sixth streets, and
tomorrow work will be started on the
patching of Market street. To date
1922 yards have been put down.

FALL SCHEDULE
FOR BASKETBALL
Central Pennsylvania League
May Add Williamsport to
Circuit

At the recent meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the Central Pennsylvania
Basketball League held in this city a
schedule of games was adopted. The
question of having the president of
the league appoitn a staff of referees
was given serious consideration.
While the latter proposition would
add much expense to each team in the
league, it was the consensus of opinion
that mulch better sport would result
from having neutral officials in charge
of each game played.
1t was also decided that the time
Keepers for each contest should be
governed by the time of one watch
that would be held in front of them.
In several cases last year two watches
were used, and often a difference
would arise in regard to the end of
the half. The cup now held by Cen
tral will have to be won three times in
order to become the permanent pos
session of the local school.
Additional Trophies
Local newspapers are advocating a
proposition to have cups contested for
during the next three years. 1t was
decided to hold the next meeting in
the forepart of November to perfect
plans for the opening of the season ;he
latter part of that month.
The representatives at the meeting
included Professor b. w. Saul, secre-
tary of the league, representing Cen
trail; Professor p. l.. Grubb, Technical
High School; Clayton f. Bilheimer, OF
York. vice-president of the league;
Roger Saylor, Reading High School;
Fred L. Frost, Lebanon High School;
Professor Paul Miller, Steelton, High
School.
Lancaster High School failed to send
a representative. The advisability OF
admitting Williamsport High School
was also discussed and the secretary
was instructed to invite that high
school to become member of the
league.

TATE LEAGUE READY FOR BUSINESS LEAGUE DOGS
WELEYs / CORNER

Boys in the city's public schools
have succeeded in breaking practical
ly every record of the ancient Greek
athletes but one-the broad jump with
weights. They never have attempted
to break tkat one, because of the
fact that it is not a logical feature
of modern sports. combination
of modern thought and principles of
the early Grecians probably is the
cause of the efficiency of these boys.
There is absolutely no question of
their supremacy over the ancients. -
Dr. Charles Ward Champion, physical
director of the New York public
schools.
The above interesting statement will
be a surprise to many who think that
the strength and virility of our boys
is not what it used to be "in the old
days" Why not discard the old Greek
statues and foster a few American
sculptors who will model the American
schoolboy to be an athletic standard
for the posterity of foreign nations?

State League had a gossipy session last

1t was said, would be paid to-day up to

Records of attendance at the games
in the Pennsylvania State League
show few guarantees paid. This was
not due to lack of funds. According

run on cooperative plan in order tc
keep the teams going until warm
weather made larger crowds possible
This, in the opinion of several of the
representatives last night is a baC
policy.
