Warning to Americans.

Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 11.-New
warning to Americans to quit Mexico
has been forwarded to consuls by
the state department, it was officially
admitted today. This action was
taken by calling their attention to
orders hitherto given.
Developments which caused mass
ing of new troops along the border
were responsible for the reiteratton
OF the warning to get out of Mexico.
While officials were inclined to be-
lieve that General SCOTS 10 o'clock
conference with General Obregon
might be satisfactory, the Mexican
fnsistence upon a time limit for the
stay of Americans caused an I'M
easiness which resulted in the double
move.
Reports compiled several weeks
ago showed there are less than 5000
americans remaining in Mexico
!his number probably has been re-
duced since the census was taken.
Secretary Baker took an optim-
lstic view OF the situation after
SCOTS latest word last night. From
a high official came the statement
that obregon and Carranza might be
endeavoring to grasp political ad-
vantage from the conference, but in
every quarter ii was doubted that

Is TRACK TEAMS TO
CLASH ON SATURDAY

Chicago, May 30-Twenty-five insti
tutions, representing every member
of the western conference and colleges
and universities as far east as Ober
lin, Ohio, and as far west as the Pa
citic coast, will compete in the 18th
annual track and field meet of the in
tercollegite conference athletic asso-
citation at the athletic field of North
western university Saturday. Fifteen
events will make up the program
which is two more than were run AT
Cambridge last Saturday. The extra
events are the javelin throw and the
discus throw.
Preliminary heats in the quarter
and half mile runs will be run Fri
day and finals in all events will be fin
ished the following day.
Illinois is looked upon as probable
contender for the honor among teams
in the conference, but with the team
from the University of California re-
puted as very strong and with dark
horses" in practically every event, the
outcome OF the meet is felt to be de-
cidedly uncertain
The Northwestern track is said 10
be in the fastest condition that il has
ever been and new records are looked

GIANTS SET MARK;
WIN II STRAIGHT
McGraW'S Tribe With Matty Back in
Trim Break Record Made by
Washington in 1912.

Boston, May 30-It remained for the
favorite Christy MathewsOn to pitch
the Giants to their 18th consecutive
victory yesterday Big Six holding
down the desperate Braves to a , to 0
score, allowing them four scattered
singles and setting them back without
even mOmentary glimpse Of second
base.
incidentally, so the statistics say,
the Giants now stand as record holders
for victories won on foreign ball parks,
the Senator'S 16 straight out west
back in 1912 being indeXed in the dusty
archives forever.
1t wasn't all Matty yesterday, but it
was almost So The Giants poled out
a run in the first inning, and negotiated
a couple more in the eighth, up to
which time the Braves defense had
been tight and attempts to tie the score
were unsuccessful
McGraw's veteran surely came back
to his own yesterday He did not try
to speed em up, but depended on the
good old gray matter of which he is
possessed in such abundance. He
seemed sometimes simply to lob the
ball over, but with a curve that at all
times was working and breaking well,
with here and there a fash of a spit
ter or a fadeaway, he stood the Stall
lings tribesmen on their heads. Matty
has not looked better in years and he
supplemented his splendid pitching
with a field exhibition that was about
as good.

BETTING AGAINST

Milwaukee Supporters of Richie Con-

Haymaker on Richie.

Chicago, May 30-Milwaukee sup
porters of Richie Mitchell are willing
to risk all the money they can lay their
hands on that Charlie White, Chicago's
celebrated left hooker, won't fiatten
out the Milwaukee lightweight for the
count when they clash in Tom An
drews ring Friday night.
This information was brought to
Chicago by John Morganroth, Milwau-
kee sportsman, yesterday. Morgan
roth came down to view White in his
gymnasium trials and returned 10 Mil
Waukee convinced that Mitchell will
have the test of his career in facing
the Chicagoan. John was well salts
fed with Whites condition and assert
ed the match was attracting more in
terest than any contest held in Mil
Waukee in years.
It's strictly a Chicago Milwaukee
match. and everybody is bugs about
it," Morganroth said. They are ask
ing 3 to l in Milwaukee that White
won't stop Mitchell and plenty of wag-
ers for good-sized amounts are being
made.
White certainly looks good, There
are hundreds of folk in Milwaukee
who believe Mitchell, on the strength
of his showing with Welsh and Dun
dee will more than hold White even.
Mind YOU, they're not saying Mitchell
will stop White. but they think the
proposition that White will stop the
Milwaukee boy is a question not to be
considered"

Much of the pep shown by the Su-

Mike Mowrey and Ivan Olson, two vet

cast-offs and yet who are skipping
about the keystone sack for Brooklyn
with great show of spirits. Much of

Good ness, must hurry Mamma said for me to come right balrk.,
 Both little boys walked to the door with her, and Roy esdorted her clear to her front gate. ToEnrny turned in the other direction: butta minute later he was back in the drug store again.
 And he departed with As package un- der his arm.
 Ten minutes later Ray returned; and he. too, left bearing. parcel nicely wrapped in clean, white, shiny paper.
 
 The next afternoon Sweet Bettina was out taking the air, with several of her girl friends. She, tod, carried a parcel under her arm. But 1t wasn't wrapped in paper and, besides, every now and then it was taken out from under her arm and the top removed and--she and each of the little girls helped themselves to another piece of the delicious sconfections within. It was a box of the Fotry-nine Cent candy! st
 Presently, as they strolled along. they met Roy. He was promptly in- vited to regale himself with piece of the candy. He did so proudly. hap billy, and with a knowing little smila which Sweet Bettina returned in full.
 It was his candy his valentine and she knew 1t wasl Roy felt very elated. But being on an errand for his Mamma he had to leave shortly and the girls continued their walk
 In little while they met Tommy. He, too, was asked to take a piece of the candy. And he. also, felt proud and happy and smiled knowingly at Bettina, receiving in return pleased little smile which seemed to say, q know you sent me this beautiful box I of candy, Tommy, and it is a mighty nice valentine'' Tommy was indeed happy.

 Tommy took one look, and declared promptly, Frankie Brownl I'd know his handwriting anywhere. Yes sis It was Frankiel" Then Tommy grin ned. ''Um m-nl, bet the fellers'll laugh when they hear about it."
 But Mary Ellen refused to become indignant. She had always disliked Frankie because he was so rude to girls, and she didn't care if the boys did tease him about sending her a valentine. But, somehow, she couldn't quite make up her mind that he had sent it.
 Both she and Jane tried to think of every boy they knew who could pos sibIy have sent it-but always there remained the fact that it was Franlxie's writing on the envelope. And so, as the day wore on, the mystery still re- mained unsolved.
 The next day, during recess, Mary Ellen could stand the suspense no longer. So she watched her oppor- tunity, just before the bell rang, and walked boldly up to Frankie.
 ''Did you send me a valentine yes terday, Frankie?" she asked.
