MEXICAN CASE
WILL HANG over
UNTIL ELECTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-There will
be no definite results Of the present
Mexican negotiations before election.
Also there will be no breaking off in
the parleys prior to Nov. Z.
Consequently neither OF the polit-
ical parties is to get any advantage,
despite the fact that the Democratic
had been hoping to point with pride"
to definite accomplishments and the
Republicans had desired to view
with alarm" withdrawal of Pershing's
expedition.
Leaves Mexico City.
Officials very frankly admitted to-
day that while the Atlantic City ne
gotiations were deadlocked, due to the
constant pressing Of the Carranza de-
mand for withdrawal of the American
troops, way was in sight to continue
the negotiations.
Ambassador Designate Arredondo
shortly will be en- route to Washington
from Mexico City. He will be &C
companied by General Juan Barragan,
chief of staff Of the Mexican army
under Carranza.
1t is known that Barragan will be
asked by the Mexican commission to
attend the conferences and discuss the
border situation and the Mexican
plans for the protection Of American
territory. This will be in line with
the action Of the American members
of the commission in calling General
Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of
staff of the army, who detailed the ad-
vantages of the suggested American
zone plan.
General Barragan will speak as a
military official. The Mexican COM
missioners, all civilians, have insisted
that the problem was military one
and that the first chief, in demanding
that Pershing be ordered out was adj
herring to plain military rule.

WILSON WOMEN
Greet SPECIAL
BACKING HUGHES

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Scores Of women
supporters of President Wilson, car
rying Wilson banners and shouting
cheers for the president, treated the
women campaigners for Charles Evans
Hughes to surprise when their spe-
cial train pulled in Chicago shortly
after noon today.
The Wilson enthusiasts made their
appearance few minutes before the
train was due. Members of the recep-
ton committee appealed to the police
men to remove them. The policemen
declined on the grounds that they
were too busy attending to the crowd
So the Wilson women staid and were
in the front rank when the special ar
rived at the station.
An outdoor reception at Grant park
and various street meetings later in
the day were the features of the
Hughes women's stay in Chicago.

DIARIES
ATTAIN HIGH RANK
AT LAST ANALYSIS

Diaries supplying Richmond with
milk have reached their highest stand
ard, according to Dr. Louis Glenn. At
this season of the year, he said, it is
difficult to keep diaries and dairy
products to average standard, and the
showing indicates the particular dill
gence of the dairymen.
Samples sent to State Chemist Barn
ard were all above standard. The
standard is 1925 per cent butter fat.
Only three Of the Fl samples fell be-
low per cent and the others ran as
high as 10 per cent, the best test Of
Richmond milk ever made
In an examination of dairies COM
pleted in September, the scores were
higher than they have ever been, Dr.
Glen said.

DODCER STAFF
LEADS RED S0x
FOR AVERAGES
BY FRANK c. MENkE.
Sporting Editor Of The international

NEWS SSTVtCcs
NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The surpris-
ing fact that the Dodgers hurlers out
average those of the Red Sox is re-
vealed in today's perusal Of the pitch
ing averages.
Look at it from any angle that you
wish and you'll find that the three
Dodger stars-Pfeffer, Cheney and
Observation-Disclosures in the percentage
table the Ruth, Shore, Foster or Leon
ard combination of Boston. Also the
five Dodger regulars-Pfeffer, Mar
guard, Cheney, Smith and Coombs-
are pitching nine points beyond the
grand average of Ruth, Shore, Foster,
Leonard and Mays.
Pfeffer Heads Squad.
Ranking the pitchers in. the order
of games won and lost, Pfeffer with
$3.50 tops the entries from both squads
Marquard is nose behind with 1854,
Ruth is third with .657, Shore fourth
with .654 and Cheney fifth with .645.
So, you see, the Dodgers, in addition
to having the two best average mound
men, also have three in the first five.
The chances are that three pitchers
on each team will carry the defensive
burden in the world series battling.
They will be Pfeffer Marquard and
Cheney for the Dodgers, with a grand
pitching average of .672 against Ruth,
Shore and Foster, or Leonard, with
a grand pitching average of GAS, or
less if Leonard works instead of
Foster
Both Squads Tied.
In the point of effectiveness the two
squads-fguring five men each-are
tied with an average yield of SO hits
per game. OF the entire group, Cheney
has done the most consistent low hit
pitching. He has permitted only 4.3
hits per game. against As for Mar
guard, who is second, and 40 for Mays
the low-hit pitcher for the Sox
In the matter of bases on balls, Ruth
is the widest of the lot. He has walk
ed 116 men in forty-four games.
Cheney, the widest of the Dodgers
pitchers, walked 107 men in forty
games. The steadiest hurler of the
group Of ten was-strange as it may
seem-the so-called eccentric" Mar
guard. In thirty-six games he issued
only thirty-eight passes. The next best
record in the line of steadiness was
turned in by Shore, who walked forty
seven men in thirty-eight games.
Cheney, with 165 victims in forty
games, leads in the matter Of strike
outs Ruth also struck out 165 men in
forty-eight games and Pfeffer with 1877
fan credits in forty-two games, ranks
fourth.
Five Regulars Start.
Here are the records of the five
regulars on each team. showing games
pitched, won, lost, per cent and aver
age hits yielded per game:
