State department officials said to
day they had no information as t.
when General Pershing's troops woult
be withdrawn from Mexico, indicating
that this was a military question en-
tirely in the hands Of the war de
partment. There have been intima
tions that one of the subjects dis

withdrawal of the troops would b,

OFF DAY FOR CLUBS
IN NATIONAL LEAGUE

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The play
ers in the National division of big
league ball, ever so popular with us
just at present, We're not at home to
fans yesterday. Consequently, their
chances for the seasons prize was in
no greater danger than on the pre-
vious day.
In the words of a fan in hearty
sympathy with McGraw's men. ''it
was a pity they didn't play yester-
day just to see if the Giants could
have spiked down another one" Will
the boys in place No. continue their
recent record unbroken until they
really become menaeing to their
nearest rivals and to Brooklyn? Only
time will tell.
The New York Nationals is the
one big subject in major league base
ball at present--whether an ardent
fan. lukewarm looker-on or a re-
cruit in the ranks of the score board
crowd. The Gotham organization
bettered its own record of Straight
games won by defeating st. Louis
twice in the same place on Satur-
day. If they win today Mr.. Nc
Graws men will equal the major
record of games won in a row
twenty-won by Providence in 1884,
too far back for the average young
fan of today.
Beginning with today's games the
Superbas and the Phillles each have
eleven games to play. Boston has
fifteen. The Phillies will face both
Brooklyn and the Braves, but Bos-
ton and brooklyn have met for the
last TING. this season. 1t may be
said in favor of Brooklyn that its
team will play the remaining games
on home grounds. The great num-
Der of games to be played by Boston
NAV prove to be some advantage
for them, but as there are six dou-
BILE bills and only three single con-
tests. things may come out different
