Bell Is Confident

FL PASO, Sept. 22.-'I am confi- dent that my information regarding Villas attack on Chihuahua City is accurate, therefore I do not see that any further investigation is necessary on my part was General Bells com ment tonight on being informed that he had been invited by General Ire vino to send a special agent to Chihua- hua to ascertain the facts
 "The truth is," General Bell con- tinued. General Trevino is up against fact that cannot be explained away. He was caught mapping by Villa. A soldier has an excuse for getting whipped, but he has no excuse for being caught off his guard. The result
 is, he finds he must make extreme claims to clear his reputation as a soldier.
 As the result of further investiga- tion, my account of the Chihuahua City battle, as communicated to my superiors, has been, in my belief, ab- solutely confirmed I stand by it and have no desire to carry the matter further"
 A report that force of Carrancis- tas was engaging a band of Villistas at l Samalayuca, a station on the Mexican | Central railway about six miles south i of Juarez, was received here late to- | night by local legalista party leaders.
 No details were given except that the attack began after dark.
 At the Carrancista headquarters in | JuareZ, however. the staff officer in
 charge denied the rumor. saying that all garrisons in his zone reported conditions quiet.
 l General Francisco Gonzales, com manding the northern Chihuahua dis trict. placed troops along the railway
 and to guard other approaches to
 Juarez immediately after Villas as 1 saul on Chihuahua City last week.

IN FAST CONTEST
BY CLOSE SCORE
\ Ten Inning Game Won by the
: Methodists by Hitting at
0pportune Times.

ATLANTA, Ca, April West
Virginia Wesleyan again broke its
losing streak hero today and in 80
doing defeated what Is reputed to he
the strongest college team in Dixie.
From the very start, the game was
a sensational one.
Wesleyan scored first in the third
when Beck was safe on Spence's err
ror. He was sacrificed to second by
Morrison, went to third when Hill
erred on Miller's tap and scored
when Blake beat out an infleld sin
gle.
The fourth produced another when
Withers banged one for two bases
and scored on Thurman's clean blow
to center. This inning also gave
Tech its first run, when ePars hit
for three bases and scored on Set
ties out. The score stood 2 to till
the ninth inning when Tech tied it
up. A single by Spence, sacrifice
on the part Of Settle and two base
drive by Bryan produced the run.
Wesleyan was not to be denied,
however. Morrison opened the tenth
inning with hard smash to deep
center for three bases. Thurman hit
to Fill who tried to catch Morrison at
the plate, but threw wild. Thurman
continued to third, but in sliding
wrenched a knee and Morrison took
up the task, pitching the tenth for
Wesleyan. He proved very credit
ably, however. making Wooten pop to
darlington, throwing out Hill him
self and striking out GULL.
Talkngton caught his best game
to date for Wesleyan and Shumaker
in the outfield with five putouts and
two assists, was big factor on the
defense for Wesleyan. Singleton,
withers and Morrison all got hard
drives and the entire team hit tho
ball hard and often. Miller and
Blake and withers all made plays in
the infleld that gained the applause
Of the crowd, and 1t seems that the

his place at third cinched. He is an

and when Rodgers gets in shape to
report, fans are going to see tight
race for the position. Flynn has been
driving the ball to all corners Of the
field and some place on the team must
be found for him on account Of his
consistent hitting. He is a natural
hitter Of the slugging variety but
has not the ability in the fled
that Rodgers possesses. Stops in

field and at bat and Is improving each

Ayers realizes he will have to hit and
consequently he is spending an extra
half hour on the field every day In
getting hitting practice. He is q good
man on the bases and has two years

will count in the fpal reckoning.

MARSHALL WILL PLAY
WESLEYAN THIS WEEK

ondary defenders stand Captain Dan
iels, who is wont to yank 'em from
the upper element whenever they APP
pear lined for "hit" territory. He Is a
big right-hand hitter and slams every
thing to the four corners. Singleton,
catcher Of the previous year is patrol
ling one OF the pastures. He was
touted among the best back-stoppers
last year and Is having good sea-
son with the mace and in the cutters
this year. Morrison and Johnson han
die the other outf1eld proposition in
their turn when relieved OF the slab
burden. Both are walloping fielders
and rattle the boards at will with
their slashing stickwork.
For Marshall, Lawrence and Davis
son will bear the brunt Of the mound
duties, with Maynard, g. Fisher, Dot
son, Galloway and Lefty" Davis as
sisting. Lawrence and Davisson have
manifested their ability in the state
and promise better this year. May
nard Is well known in this section and
he with c. Fisher are showing good
stun. Galloway has wonderful
crooked-arm delivery and an exper-
fenced knowledge OF the summer
sport. Lefty Davis is new but is
showing we'll.
Three Good Catchcrs.
Captain Shannon, ex-captain Cook.
Hollandsworth and Shepherd will
hold down the section OF the lot be-
hind the hitters. This Is about the
"hittingest" quartet OF padded mitten
caressers to be found in decade.
Shannon and Cook will probably be
called upon to do most of the receiv-
ing. Holly is wonderful swatter
and will figure with the slamming
pole in the coming season.
The Marshall cushion protectors
are VETS" Spearen is on the last
stop. Echols has strangle hold on
the middl kiosk. Derien, a freshman
is corralling the pegs Of his infelders
at the hot corner. Workman, first
baseman Of last year Is out Of the
lineup. Hill. who was hitting an aw-
full stride last year up until he sus-
tanned a shattered shaft while sliding
ts putting q sparkle on infield stunts
and Coach Chambers is exhuberant
as a result Of his showing over last
year. Hill is o dependable hitter
and will prove his worth to the Big

In the distant meadows things are
being well taken care Of. In the mid
die section, Hall, formerly Of Morris
Harvey College, Is hauling 'em In
with little juggling. Hal. Is . fast

appear as lead-off man and will

Two Games viii Be Played at
MorgantoWn, One Friday
and One Saturday.

MoRGANTOWN, April Final
preparations for the opening Of West
virginia's 1915 baseball season Friday.
April 2, with Ohio University, are now
being made and while the team was
out but three days this week, Coach
Charley Hickman announced today
that the team was in shape for the
gruelling season ahead.
The Varsity while far from being
complete in it's organization, has
reached sufficient stage of develop
ment 10 play real nine inning game
at this writing, the. pitchers being the
only members Of the squad who are
not yet in the pink Of condition. Not a
pitcher has thrown q curve as yet but
the word to open up willfbe forth
coming Monday, according to Coach
Hickman. The pitchers and catchers
have been out every day this week
but they. were forced to use paved
streets the first three days OF the
week owing to the condition OF the
playing field. Chenoweth, June, Lat
terner and Huffman let themselves
out in the squad games played Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, each going
three innings without any signs Of
weakening. Ohio University comes for
two games. Friday and Saturday, and
the Varsity is expecting two hard
battles.
The visitors have two great pitchers
ers In Finsterwald, and Hendrickson,
the latter twirler possessing the
honor OF being the only man Ia. defeat
the Varsity on the home grounds all
last season. The most redeeming feat
ure Of the squads work this week was
the heavy hitting, one thing a man
must do to hold q job on, Hickman's
teams. Two hours were spent each
practice the last three days In batting
practice, Coach hickman selecting the
more promising men to hit and send-
ing the recruits into the field. He con-
tinucd to experiment at first base and
in the field. Atkinson was brought In
from the outfield and placed at first
base on the Reserves and the big fell,
low came through wonderfully. His
fielding to date Is all that Is required
and his hitting in becoming better
each day. He handles himself well
around lrst base and looks good on
| thc base paths. Steadman, big fellow
from New Cumberland, was switched
to left field on the regular nine Thurs.
