OPENING GAME
OF SEASON TO
BEPLAYEDHERE
Saturday Afternoon When the
Washington Irving Team
Meets Shinnston High.

II weather conditions permit the
first baseball game OF the 1915 sea-
son will beplayed at the Norwood
Park diamond Saturday afternoon,
when Coach Frank Arnett's Wash
tngton Irving high school baseball
team will clash with the strong
Shinnston team. The game will be
called at o'clock.
The local boys are in fine shape
after two weeks of hard work and
they look like q pennant winning
team in mid-season form. The en-
tire team Is looking much better than
last year and are showing double the
amount Of pep. Coach Arnett has
discovered couple of stars and Sat
urday will be the first chance for
the local boosters OF the team to see
them in action. SO be sure and at
tend the game.
The Shinnston team which Is al
ways strong in the baseball line will
be weakened to a considerable ex-
tent this year by the loss of johnson
their star pitcher who is now one
OF Wesleyan's star mound artists.
He proved too fast for all the teams
in the high school league last sea-
son and without his strong right
arm the Shinnston team is due for
number Of trimmings which he
saved them from last year. While
the Shinnston team suffered the loss
Of johnson they have secured the
services Of a number Of first class
players and the team as whole will
be stronger than 1t was last season.

SOMETHING IMPORTANT IS
EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE
At Once in the Mexican Situa-
ton but What No One
Really Knows.
ALL is AT A sTANDsTILL
All is Mere Speculation on the
Border as to What PERISH
ing is Doing.

Ell PASo. April 1.-Two Ameri-
cans, the first to arrive from the in
terror for several days. reached Ell
Paso Friday on train from Chihua-
hua City. They said that there was
absolutely quiet in the state capital
when they left, but that everywhere
there was apparent curious feeling
Of expectancy that important devel-
opments were imminent.
AS had been the case for week
the whole Mexican situation seems at
a standstill pending the outcome Of
the negotiations between Washing
ton and General Carranza regarding
the use Of the Mexican railroads by
the American expeditionary force.
Repeated limitations that the sup
stage have received strong support
by the statements made by soldiers
returning from the front.
The question Of adequate clothing
for the American soldiers appears to
be as urgent as that of food. Stories
from the front Of the expedients
adopted by the troopers to repair
worn-out garments, especially shoes.
gives sharp points to this problem.
In the absence Of any definite news
from General Pershing the border has
again been reduced to mere specula-
ton as to the whereabouts Of Villa
and the status of the pursuit. What
is regarded as the most hopeful sign
is that no news has come from Par
raj regarding the bandit. II he has
not reached that town by this time,
IL is urged that there is still chance
Of the American troops cutting in be-
tween him and the South. 1t is also
argued that the absence Of any news
Of his movements favors the still per-
sistent story that he Is wounded and
Hiding in the hills.
Advanced guards Of the American
expedition hunting Villa are operating
near Sateyo and news that Colonel
Dodd's cavalry has again come into
contact with the Villa forces is ex-
pected. The region between Satevo
and Parral, where Villa is reported to
be heading. is infested with several
hands Of Villa brigands.
American refugees from the Boni-
to-Juarez district say that II Villa
should succeed in uniting these men
he would have force of at least
1000 men and would be In position
to give the advanced American troops
a hard battle before re-enforcements
arrived.
The latest Official information
from the front showed that American
cavalry had penetrated south of San
Anotion, Chihuahua, and was still
moving southwark hard on the trail
of the bandits. It Is believed that
more frequent reports will now be
obtained from Colonel Dodd. mas
much as it is now possible for him
to relay his messages by courier to
Chihuahua City and thence by Mexi-
can telegraph lines to FL Paso for re-
transmission to Major General Fun
ston at San Antonio.
