SOLDIER KILLS
bad N A n OF
BIG Bend" WHO
IS De LA CARA

Marathon, Tex, May 10.-Demetrio De
La Cara, once known as the bad man
OF the Big Bend country met his death
in a long range rifle duel with an Ameri-
can trooper on Monday in the hills near
Boquillas. The cavalryman not only kill
ed De La Cara but the Mexicans COM
panon as we'll. De La Cara kept a
small trading store on the American side
Of the Rio Grande BIZ. ranchers have
long known him as a smuggler. News of
his death was brought here today by j.
w. Gudson, a truck contractor.
Resents Soldiers
De La Cara resented the presence of
the American soldiers as a. border pa
troll and he is said to have given advance
information to the Villa bandits before
their raid. The informer. with an assist
ant observed the American ccvalrymen
on patrol duty near Boquillas on Mon
day and the two I.AeXicans opened fire.
The cavalryman returned the fire and
killed the two MeXicans.
FL Pine Is Center
Villa bandits in large numbers are re-
ported to be concentrating at FL Pine,
IS miles south Of Boquillas. The two bod
les of bandits split their forces after the
Glenn Springs raid, with the understand
ing that they would join thNr commands
at Ell Pine. These bandits have been
operating several months in the vicinity
of Sierra Mojada and recently began their
movement to the north with designs on
American border towns.
Further Attacks
There were reports here today that the
bandits contemplated further attacks on
settlement near Preside. but these are
not credited, as army officers believe that
the Villa bands will retreat toward the
interior and wait to see whether they are
being pursued before beginning new dep
relations along the Rio Grande.

De ORO'S CAREER A REMARKABLE ONE :

at New York and a few weeks later re-
turned the emblem to the donors. AS
De Orc was next in line for a match
he got the championship by forfeit and
retained it Dec. 4 when he defeated
young August Kieckhefer $50 to SO in
their match at Chicago.
In this match De ORC demonstrated
he has lost none of his wonderful skill,
as on the second night he set his new
worlds record by making his so points
in thirty-f1vs innings. He also made
his $50 points on the three nights play
in las innings, this being a world
record that never has been approached
in a championship contest.
Lloyd Jevne of Los Angeles, who held
the championship before the Lambert
trophy was put in competition, IS the
next challenger and the winner of that
the young Pittsburgh southpaw. who is
rated as one of the most promising
players of the younger school.
De Oro's record at pocket billiards is
equally as strong as at three cushions
as in twenty years of play he was de-
feated only three times in champion
ship games, these reverses being ad-
n1inistered by Powers, Thomas Hues-
ton and Bonnie Allen, the present title
holder.
The Cuban says he has no intention
of resunling pocket billiards at present,
but should he again enter the cham
pionship lists his opponents will have
just as much respect for his skill as In
previous years.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-01-21

WHEN Alfredo De ORC successfully
defended the world three cushion
title against the challenge of August
Kieckhefer at Chicago recently he
added little more 1uster to his won
derfuI career on the green cloth
When the three cushion champion
ship was given rank one of the lead
ing titles in the cue world by the dona-
ton of a trophy by Jordan Lambert
of st. Louis, De Orc took part in the
original tournament at st. Louis. This
event was won by Harry Cline, and in
turn the title was won by John Daily
and Thomas Hueston.
De Orc then came into the lime1ight
by defeating Hueston at st. Louis, $50
to lot.
Since that time the veteran Cuban,
who will be ffty-three next April,
has played in nineteen championship
matches and lost only four of them.
His defeats were follows:
1910-Jan. IL, at New York, Fred
Ean1es, Denver, $50; De Orc, 1877.
191o4Dec. %, at New York, John
DAILY, 1870; De Orc, 100
1912-Jan. IL, at Denver, Joe Carney,
Denver, $50; De ORC. 148.
1915-May 195 at New York, C. Moore,
New York, $50; De Orc 144.
In the fifteen matches he won De Orc
had only three close calls, winning
from Thomas Hueston by two points,
from John DAILY by four points, and
from Joe Carney by seven points. In
the other twelve matches against such
players as Hueston, DAILY, Lloyd Jevne,
John Horgan, Charley NORM and Fred
Eames he won all of them by margins
of thirty points or more.
By defeating George Moore of New
York on Oct. 80. 1914, $50 to 90 at New
York De Orc won permanent possession
of the Jordan Lambert trophy.
Last year the Brunswick Balke-C
lender company donated another dta-
mond trophy which was put into COM
petition at a tournament held at Chi
cago last March.
George Moore of New York won the
title after a triple playof with William
Huey of Chicago and John Daily of
New York. De Orc was the first to
challenge and was defeated by Moore,
$50 to 144, May 10 at New York.
In September Huey defeated Moore

uMPIREs ARE PLENTIFUL.

That the umpires. especially those OF
the minor leagues. are not going to
enjoy much more than fair salaries for
a year or so seems assured About
eight of the officials who were turned
loose when the Federals went out of
business would be willing to take most
any kind of jobs just now, just to re-
main in the business and await a
change for the better. and conse-
uuentIy club presidents of the minors
see a chance of signing their own
stats at a reasonable figure because
there are so many umpires OF expert

SPEED has always had a fascina-
~ ton for human beings. The desire
to get there quickly, even if the
there is merely the place from which
one started, is strong with civilized and
uncivilized man. Fast motion is attrac-
tive, and many ways have been devised
for attaining it. The most popular form
just at present is the automobile.
The development of this means of
transit has been so rapid that laws
have been made regulating speed on
the highways, and as a consequence
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-01-21

been started on >speedways in New Or
leans and Los Angeles, and preliminary
organizations have been effected in
Cincinnati, Kansas City, Philadelphia
and elsewhere. Next year it is expected
that fifteen or twenty tracks will be
open for business, and there will be
regular circuits of motor racing which
will keep racing drivers and racing cars
busy all summer.

which cars can be driven at as fast a
speed as their engines will drive them
and their other machinery permit. This
speed has now reached the rate of a
mile in less than thirty seconds on a
straightaway track and almost as much

is of brick, and many records have been
broken there.
About a year ago promoters decided
that if a motor speedway had paid in
indianapolis it would pay in other cit
les, especially where there are larger
populations from which spectators can
be drawn. Companies were formed in
several cities, and speedways have been
opened in Minneapolis, Chicago, Omaha,
