The slaughter of Americans in Mexico under
the Carranza government, the death of Huerta
and the resignation of Ambassador Suarez, who
took part in the mediation conference which led
to the overthrow of Huerta and the establish
ment of Carranza in power, in quick succession,
constitute a rather remarkable chain of coinci-

Huerta's private secretary accuses the United
States of causing the death of the former dictator
by its cruel treatment OF him. "In this country"
he said, Ahe was thrown into jail like a common
criminal and his health was completely broken
down, causing his death" Probably this is an
exaggeration, but this country has no reason to
be proud OF the part it played in shaping Huertas
destinies.

Freezing cold and bitter skies
Dark and bleak confront the eyes?
Well, what of it, Why complaint
Did you look for summer rain,

And soft midsummer moon,
Or the blossoms of the May

CHANGES ARE MADE
 IN EASTERN LEAGUE
Managers May Carry A Men and
 Pay Better Wages

Boston, May 16.-The Eastern base ball league at it's meeting here last night at the Quincy house decided to increase the player limit of each club in the league to 4 men, and also vot- ed commensurate increase in the salary limit to take care of the extra men provided for. This move in in creasing the player limit was the re- suit of the opinion among the club owners that it will be necessary for the clubs to carry five pitchers late in the season as soon as the double headers begin to pile up and five pitchers IS an impOSsibility with a 13- player limit.
 It was also decided to instruct the umplres to allow only three balls to De pltched py pitchers warming up be- tween innings except when d change of pitchers is made in a gama, there by speeding up the games.

What's the AnSVyerc

'They all say" Chick Evans said to us some time ago. that practice is big part of golf. This is un- doubtedly true. But how do you &C., count for this: I have practiced driving very little since I took up golf and have very little trouble from the tee. But I have spent most of my practice in putting which is still the weakest part of my game
 We should say that the trouble here is that Chicks putting faults have been more of the psychological than the physical: and that fauls of psy- fhology are not to be remedied by merely physical practice.

The American League had any mum Der of tight races before the Jackmen arrived and stampeded the league in 1910, but in all it's history if has never had race that will ap- nroach this nip and tuck scramble of the incumbent year.
 And so run the ways of Fate. The club that sideswiped the league for four years and broke up the old order is about the only one now in the circuit that isn't indulging pleas ant pennant dreams. As the different American League cOntenders drift by, enc at a time, the citizen who can see where one club is much better than another is merely guessing.

 Merden, May 16.-Last nights box ing exhibition under the auspices of the LenoX A. c. fell short by a long distance of meeting with the approval that previous shows of the club have, and as a result 600 or more fans, although not thoroughly dissatisfied, were hungry for a battle when the final bell ended the last match of the evening. Joe Humphries, he of silver tongue and lack of hair fame, made his appearance in the Silver City as an announcer. Dave Fitzgerald was the Ref, and in the final bout of the night he was as busy as an employe in a intuition factory prying the "battlers" apart.
 A change in the bill brought Sammy Diamond of Jersey City, announced sos Americas entry against Jimmy Wild for the fyweight championship in England next fall. who took the place of the Zulu Kid against Battling Red dy.

 In thus taking issue with the na- tional body on it's recent ruling that these players were ineligible to com pete as amateurs because of their business activities, the club assumes the position that the United States Golf Association has no Jurisdiction over he lists of State organizations.
 Whether the club will question the national body's ruling as it affects the players eligibility to compete in the national amateur tournament has not been determined according to Presi- dent I. B. Folsom of the Woodland Club.
