PRAISE FOR JOHN L. FROM
 HIS FORMER RIVAL IN RING

. Charley Mitchell is a great admirer of John L. Sullivan. He told Frank Moran in the dressing room before the bout with Bembardier Wells that our lawn was considerable boy with his dukes.
 He was a tremendous hitter when he hit you" said Mitchell. "l knew all about his hitting, but l had sense enought to keep away from his right paw. He could cave your chest in with one of his blows if you were fool enough to be prowling around with your chest hanging out on the line Another thing, 1 were long spikes, an inch long, in my fighting shoes, a thing that Sullivan neglected. He aoundered around in the mud, for you remember we fought out in the open country during a drizzle
 Every time he tried to hit me he would slip and I'd clinch. As soon as I got my arms around him I'd start to climb him to his very hips, the long spikes in my shoes cutting him to the like to meet him an dteli him a thing that John L. Sullivan wasn't game I'd like to meet him an dtell him a thing or two. He might have fared far bet ter if he hadn't been out generated in the matter Of those spikes. It was a camp secret and his men osuhld have known all about it. It was one we put over on the bounding Yankees, that's all"

Frank Bancroft Points Out Good Gained From

Frank Bancroft. he veteran busi- ness manager of tie Cincinnati club, whose long experience both as a field and office eXecuti Q makes him an authority, registers q protest against the determination of the big leagues to keep pennant winning teams from making tours at thc close of the sea son.
 Bancroft has co- .ucted more base ball tours to Cul than any other manager. He was Q pioneer to take a ball club to the p I'll of the Antilles, his initial trip bel, in 1879. Califor- nia and Honolulu h-ye been the goals of other trips of W, ch he had charge.
 '1 defy anybody to prove to me- said Bancroft re antly, that any harm is done play IS by such tours l know of more than one player who was made by sucl a trip. They re ceived coaching an advice that they could never otherW iSe have obtained 'sThe Athletics took a Cuban trip one fall and it hut them so much that they came baci the -teXt season and won the Ame -ican league pen nant and the woIi Is series. In the fall of 1914 three members of the Plillies accompani d me on trip to California and Honolulu and they helped Pat Moran win the first pen nant ever won by Philadelphia Ma tioral league team
 The Brooklyn llayars who went with me to Califor: a last fall do not seem to have been adversely affect ed by the trip. for ;ley are now lead ing the race Barn forming in small towns with amateur teams may be no credit to the game. ut the kind of trips I promoted w-s always good ad- vertising for baseball. The owners are making the mis ake of their lives by stopping these tours"
 Bancroft might Lave gone further and declared that f it were not for lis own initiative and enterprise in taking teams to ( 'ba that baseball would not be the nauonal game of that island.

l6 AMERICANS KILL
Ed BY VILLA'SlMEN
VILLA WOUNDED-FIGHT TOOK PLACE
ON AMERICAN SOIL.

Columbus, N. M, March 9.-FfaA-
cisco Villa, outlawed Mexican bandit,
raided United States territory today.
With 500 men he attacked Columbus,
killed at least 16 Americans and fred
many buildings before he was driven
back across the International border.
At least $50 troopers of the Thir-
teenth United States Cavalry followed
the Villa band into Mexico. Reports
to Col. H. J. Slocum, commanding
United States troops at this point,
late today stated that Villa had made
stand Is miles south of the border,
where spirited fighting ensued.
Francisco Villa is reported to have
been badly wounded in a running
fight with United States troops fol-
lowing the raid on Columbus, N. M.
The engagement, in which the north
ern leader is reported to have been
wounded, occurred on Mexican soil.
News of the encounter was tele-
graphed here from Columbus follow
ing the return tonight Of the detach-
ment of the Thirteenth Cavalry, which
took up the pursuit of the raiders.
One report was that 100 of the Villa
raiders were killed in the fight, which
occurred in deep ravine.
The report of the wounding of Villa
is circumstantially confirmed by one
of the Mexican bandits who was
taken prisoner. He said he was rid
ing close to Villa when he was shot
and that Villa nearly fell from the
saddle, but was supported by his men
and aided in making his escape.

.SUDLER TO DIE
APRIL IA
SHERIFF STONER RECEIVED DEATH
WARRANT FROM GOVERNOR
HARRINGTON YESTERDAY.

Sheriff James M. Stoner received
the death warrant for Solomon Sud
Ter, colored, yesterday which calls
for Friday, April IA, for the execu-
ton.
Sudler is confined in a cell in the
Jail with guards to watch him, both
day and night. He spends most of
his time drawing different kinds OF
animals and buildings that he can
see from his cell window. His draw
ings being very good.
He is in the best of health and in
good spirits at all times.
The place of execution has not
been made public. The gallows that
Sheriff Stoner will use will probably
come from Gettysburg he stated yes
terday. The county officials of Adams
county have notified him that the
gallows can be bought for $25, which
is very reasonable to our mind.
Sudler is to have the death warrant
read to him by Sheriff Stoner tomor-
row. The document calls for the
execution before ? o'clock in the af-
ternoon.
The confession of Sudler which
was made last week will be printed
in book form and sold to raise funds
to have his body sent to Baltimore
for burial, and what is left Is to be
presented to a relative he has desig-
mated

Mr. Lockard is one of our hustl-

HIGHER TAX ON MOTORTRUCKS
Floor Leader Bryant Offers Bill To
Increase Charges.

The proposed increased tax on
autotrucks is given a considerable
boost in the bill introduced in the
House by Floor Leader Bryant and in
the Senate by Senator Warf1eld,
which makes many amendments in
the present law concerning the
licensing of motor vehicles.
The new rates and regulations were
agreed upon by Henry G. Shirley,
chief engineer of the State Roads
Commission; G. M. Bngler, chief clerk
in the Office of the Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles, and Osborne 1. Yel-
lott, representing the Automobile
Club of America.
Under the provisions of the bill
trucks with fiat tires which now pay
a license fee of So year would be
taxed So for all such of one-ton capa-
city or less and Sc more for every
additional ton of capacity. Pneu-
matte tired cars would pay a fiat so
cents per horsepower instead OF a
certain rate for each 10 horsepower,
as at present. The rates for this
class of cars would vary little from
the existing ones.
On motorcycles the present rate Of
81. 80 would be raised to SO. Many
regulations are made concerning the
running of automobiles, the size of
the figures on the license plate, max
ing a nominal charge for the duplica-
tion of certificates and tags that are
lost or destroyed and a charge for
the little book giving the numbers OF
licenses and owners of cars.
No municipality or community may
make any laws or regulations that
conflict with those provided in the
bill. Garage keepers would be given
a lien upon cars in all cases Of un-
disputed bills. The bill also provides
for automobile reciprocity with other
states; that is, that no fees should be
charged for cars for other states
passing through Maryland if Mary
land cars are allowed to tour such
states free. But no charge will be
made with regard to making cars
owned in Washington have Maryland
