cabinet and the Democratic leaders in

army across the Rio Grande to de.

every assistance be given such AneA
al and escorts provided to accom-
pany them into cities where strong
garrfsons are maintained. He went
farther than the state department
recommending that in cases
where foreigners objected to leaving
that they be forcibly removed to
points of safety.

CHASE FOR REMNANT IN BOTH
BIG LEAGUES TIGHTENS

ne races IN DoLn Dig leagues were
frightened up Thursday through the
leaders being handed defeats. The
Boston Red SOx fell before New
York and slipped little bit in the
percentage column, while the close
up White SOX stood still through be-
ing rained upon at Cleveland.
, As is customary these days, we will
discuss the chances of the White SOx
to land the A. L. bunting. Though
they picked up to within two and
one-half games of the lead Thursday,
still with but four games left to play
it really looks as if the best the Co.
miskey crew will be able to do is to
hold onto second place.
The Red Sox still have five games
to plow through, two with New York
and three with Philadelphia. The
White Sox play their four remaining
battles with Cleveland, a double
header today and single games Sat-
Urday and Sunday.
Detroit Tigers are practically lost
as far as the pennant race goes. -
However, if the jennings crew
copied all of their three remaining
games and Boston lost five straight
the two teams would be tied for the
lead. Unless the White Sox happened
to butt in ahSad of both.
The trimming that New York
handed CarTigan's crew makes
things look pretty good for a sure
enough tight wind-up all the way
around. With New York playing the
brand of ball that they turned out
Thursday, Boston is bound to have
troubles of their own keeping ahead
