EASTERN TEAMS ARE
 WINNERS IN FIRST .SE |ONAL CLASH
The Giants Winning Streak Features National League Race-CIeveland Con-
 tinues to Win

The first international clash of the 1916 season in the National and Amer ican leagues resulted in favor of the eastern clubs. Including Saturday, the eastern teams last week won 20 games from the west and lost 15 to them. In the National league the east won nine and the west six; in the American the east won eleven and the west nine. There were changes of importance in the league standings during the week. Cleveland and Washington con- tinued their winning gait in the Amer ican league. Brooklyn and Boston, the
 National league leaders. did not do as
 well but managed to retain their places.
 The feature of the week in the Ma tlonal league was the winning of four straight games by New York from Pittsburg. The Giants had won only two games up to the time of their in vasion of the west. The pitching of McGraw's corps was better and the fielding improved, but the batting of Burns, Robertson and Doyle was the biggest factor in the four victories from the Pirates.
 Brooklyn lost two of its four games by one run and one of them after l3 innings The batting of Robinson's men was not as timely as previously. Bos- ton kept up it's good work, due to some steady work on the mound and Op- pOrtune hitting

HITTING HELPS CUBS

The heavy hitting of Zimmerman and Williams was the outstanding point of Chicago's play. Philadelphia faltered in the field and failed to improve it's standing. The champions seemed to have lost their scoring power. Cincin- nati showed a complete reversal of the previous weeks form.
 New York and St. Louis each won four games and lost one. The Giants and Cardinals braced in all departments Anderson the former Federal star with the Giants, held Pittsburg to three hits Wednesday. Mathewson also pitched better on his second appear ance.
 In the American league Philadelphia and Detroit, at Philadelphia, gave an unusual exhibition of baseball Tues day. Three Athletic pitchers and two Tiger boxmen gave 30 bases on balls, a new major league record. The pre- vious record was "A in one game. On Friday 25 bases on balls were given, and during the series S5 passes were issued.
 Cleveland did not crumple before the eastern teams. The Indians broke even with the Red Sox and took one game from the Yankees The hitting of Speaker was big help to the Indians.
 Washington recovered from it's losing streak and won four Straight games the latter part of the week.
 MACKMEN IMPROVE
 Detroit and Philadelphia improved. The Mackmen moved out of last place Saturday by defeating St. Louis, the Browns taking the cellar position. Pitcher Myers of the Athletics was credited with the three victories for his team. Boston broke even on the week, while Chicago and St. Louis dis played few signs of improvement
 Thursday saw six games won by one run in the major leagues, divided even ly between the National and American organizations. The weeks record in each league of games played, won and lost, with runs. hits and errors, men left on bases and runs scored by op- ponents, including the games of Sat urday. May IS. is as follows:

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result in
neuralgia, stiff neck, sore muscles
or sometimes an attack of rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
liniment. 1t stimulates circulation to
the sore and painful part. The blood
flows freely and in a short time the
stiffness and pain leaves. Those suf-
fering from neuralgia or neuralgia
headache will find one or two appli-
cations of Sloan's liniment will give
grateful relief. The agonizing pain
gives way to a tingling sensation of
comfort and warmth and quiet rest
and sleep is possible. Good for neu-
ritis too. Price 25c at your drug

Ell PASO, Tex, Mar. 13.-The con-
centration of the American troops is
now on in full swing.
Two regiments of infantry left TT,
Bliss, proceeding westward, "some-
where along the border"
The expedition will probably start
in three places, Columbus, Machita
and Douglas. Upwards of 5000 men
of all branches will be at Columbus
within a day or two.
General Pershing expects to move
his headquarters to that city.
AS the details of thoroness with
which the expedition was planned be-
came known, the hour of the start
has advanced from the one first plan
ned. If Carranza will cooperate with
the American, they will probably
start even sooner.
If Carranza definitely announces
his intention of opposing the entry,
it will probably be delayed.
The Carranzistas arc entrenching
near Juarez.
The state department agents have
informed Commandant Gavia, of the
defacto government that he will be
held responsible for the safety of
the 500 Mormons, whose where
abouts is still a mystery. Altho the
train was supposed to have been held
at Pearson since Saturday, the colon
lists have not yet arrived there. There
is a sensational unconfirmed rumor
that the Mormons are marching to-
ward the border across the desert on
foot. This seems incredible.
General Pershing has conferred
with the mayor of FL Paso and dis
cussed the possibility Of declaring
martial law on the border after the
troops enter Mexico.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
AT WORK


hp'shuid sNtsOhupiiSiihth.s
The Industrial commission is able
to report that it was successful in
its efforts to adjust the serious
smelter strike at Leadvile. Over TOO
men went out, tying up the whole
district. The Industrial commission
went in body and persuaded the men
10 return to work on the promise
that their grievances would be inves-
tigated if they would obey the law.
Within two days after this plea was
made, practically all the men had
returned to work and all furnaces
We're running. There was no violence
of any sort. The new industrial law
stood the test. The commission has
started its investigation by holding
conferences in Denver with the off
Gals of the smelter They will lat
err go to Leadville, probably ON March
%, to continue the investigation.
The Industrial commission ON
Wednesday, March s, handed down
its decision in the case Of the Dem
YER machinists. The commission found
that the machinists were entitled to
~ and one-half cents an hour and to
a graduated shorter work day. Some
Of the employers refused to permit
/ the commission to examine their
\ books and the commission continued
/ its hearing without them. The EN-
ployes requested that the commission
should not make test Of its right to
inspect employers books in this case
because the employees felt confident
in the justice of their position. The
commission acceded to their request,
but reserved the right to assert the
authority given them in the law to
examine the books in some future
case.
The Industrial commission has been
notified by the System Federation of
the Colorado Midland that the eff
forts Of the commission are desired
in bringing about an agreement with
the Midland. The commission will
take up the matter in few days and
use its good offices to secure an
adjustment.
Charles w. O'Donnell, chief of the
claims department, spent the week Of
March 6-12 holding a number of claim
hearings turnout the state. He took
evidence on disputed cases at Colo
RADIO Springs, Cripple Creek, Canon
| City, Pueblo, Walsenburg and Trini-
dad. 1t is the policy of the commits
sion to group these hearings so that
one trip will include large num-
Der Of sittings, thus saving time and
expense.
The state fund now has about 100
open accusents upon which IL Is
either paying compensation or medi-
cal expenses or awaiting develop
ments. OF these, az are claims, on
which compensation is being paid. It
is commencing payment of compensa-
ton on seven claims this week, and
making final payments on about the
same number. About 80 vouchers for
compensation or medical payments
will be issued this week. This record
represents about the average activity
in claim matters.

The amount Of business transacted

pie in making an unusual effort TO
have a federal court held here in this

the proper thing to have federal
court session here often enough to

that effect. The committee, Attor-

SILvERTON HIGHWAY ASSURED

State Highway Commissioner Fred
Goble arrived in Durango last even
ing and met the La Plata county com.
missioners on matters of interest to
the citizens of this county. 1t was
hoped that Mr.. Goble could remain
over and meet with the Durango Mo
tor club, which will be in regular
monthly session tonight at the Du.
range Exchange rooms, but having
been in Denver on road business for
some two weeks he found it necessary
to continue his journey homeward
this morning.
Mr.. Goble was able to furnish us
with facts and figures as to the work
outlined and the money provided for
this county and other counties Of the
San Juan and also of the state at
large. Our people are always anxi.
Gus to know the facts in matters Of
this kind. Our organizations when
they have the facts at hand know
better how to govern themselves in
taking up road problems.
According to Mr.. Goble's official
figures it was determined that the
state will receive from the half-mill
levy S5T4,631; from the Internal i'm
provement fund and Income fund
$4,000 and from the motor tax fund
100000; from the balance on hand
from 1915, 1870, or grand total Of
s745,510. In making this estimate an
8 per cent allowance has been made
for delinquent taxes in the collec-
ton of the helfmill levy.
At the close of the preceding year
there was s36,51O due counties on the
1915 appropriation and the sum OF
s104,250 of the 1916 appropriation
had been advanced last year and the
sum Of $1,000 appropriated for sal
aries and expenses, making total
Of s151,769 which must be deducted
from the total 1916 receipts as pro
vided. This leaves the sum of 1898,
TAI available for road building in the
state this year, without advancing
any Of next years appropriation. It
will be interesting to note in this con-
nection that the sum represented by
the various counties for this year
amounted to s1,367,745. The state
highway commissioners were able to
appropriate about AZ and one-half per
cent of the amount requested.
