Report Received by General Funston of Latest Exploit of American Troops Near Guerrero
FRIENDLY MEXICANS BRING IN REPORTS
 OF THE ENGAGEMENT
Mexicans Were Lying
 Around Asleep When the Americans Swooped Down on Them-Still in Pursuit

San Antonio, April 4 4-Sur- prlzed during their siesta, one of the groups of Villas forces driven from Guerrero was de- feated Saturday by a squadron of the Tenth cavalry under Colonel w. c. Brown, accord ing to information secured by General Pershing and forward ed to General Funston today. In this, the second engagement the American troops have had with Villas men, the bandits losses were estimated at from 30 to 40 killed. No mention of American loss was made.
 News of the reported engagement, fought at the village of Aguas Calientes, twenty miles southeast of Bachineva, was. brought by friendly Mexicans to point near Rubio, where detachment of the Tenth cavalry under command of Major Evans halted yesterday. At the time Gen eral Pershing sent his dispatch to General Funston he had not received an official report from Colonel Brown and the expeditionary commander pointed out that reports of the en- counter lacked ccnfirmation. His credence in the news was indicated, however, by the fact that he trans nitted it to army headquarters here.
 SURPRISED AT NOON
 According to the version of the Mex jeans who arrived at Major Evans headquarters. Colonel Brown sur prised, the wandering bandits while they were taking their monday siesta. They were lying about the village, many asleep and al of their horses grazing, when the cavalry rushed upon them. Other thar the number reported killed and the fact that the American
 
 Major Evans info rmants were without details of the encounter
 A previous report from Major Evans stated that Colnnel Brown was pur- suing the Villa band through the town of San Antonio.
 The second encounter with one or Villas scattered forces aroused deep interest in General Funston's head quarters. where additional details were eagerly awaited, but ir was realized that the effect of Colonel Browns fight and of other minor engagements that may occur is oEly indirect, so far as the greater problem of catching Villa is conc 5rned. Engagements on that character, it was stated, may be expected now from time to time and the running down of tine marauding bands is essential to the safety of the Ar,erican column, but it was indicated that the only effects, SO far as Villa is concerned, will be to destroy the

Del Monte, Cal, July l4.-One hun
dred and twenty golfers will tee off
Monday when the Western golf cham
pionship tournament begins on the
links of the Del Monte Country club,
it was announced today by Secretary
Jack Neville.
1t begins to look, however, like the
representations of golfers from east of
the Rockies will be even smaller than
had been anticipated. Hoover Bank
head, and Ed Sawyer, the Chicago
cracks, were declared to be en- route,
but up to today had not put in an ap-
pearancc.
While awaiting for the tournament
to open, California s. stars are devot-

Erving Armstrong and Vincent Whit
ney, all figured as formidable contend
ers for the title each went around in
73 yesterday, which is close TO par.
Armstrong and Schmidt are in fine
form and are expected to better this
score before the great day arrives.

Eight Was a Fizzle

Baltimore, Mr., july l4.-Promoter
Ben Pressler has probably staged his
last fight in Baltimore. His shoe string
entertainment at Oriole Park yester-
day, ending in ten round no-decis-
ion fight between Battling Levinsky,
New York, and Jack Dillon, Indianap-
oils, led authorities today to plan steps
to close his promotion career here.
When the smoke cleared from the
verbal battle over division of tne mea'
ger spoils, it developed that Dillon got
$500 as his share of the gate and Lee
whisky $1,000, whereas $1,000 was to be
sliced originally. Pressler himself got
panning and little loose change.
Fight fans were disgusted at the
manner in which the financial end was
scrambled and none too pleased with
the fight itself. Levinsky outpointed
Dillon.
