vices from General Luis Gutierrez,

troops holding points and maintain

Villa is now moving south of
Galeana. General Cara sent a new
cavalry detachment after him last

addition TO the force sent yesterday
from Laguna to the south OF
Ahumada.
While the cavalry forces are NOV
ing in from the east, the command
OF 900 men at Santa Ana under Colonel
CanO is believed at Juarez headquart-
ers to be sufficient to check any at

aGer Ned" Esan, according TO Mus
catine paper THE changes are some
what surprising. the principal ones
being the removal OF Bob Hasbrook
from first base to the pitching staff,
and the signing of Tex" Sheldon
formerly of Waterloo and Ottumwa,
for the first base position. Pitcher
FRANKIE has been released, and another
pitcher named Poster, Of Duluth,
secured.
All these shiftings came as result
of Muscatine's disastrous visit to
Clinton, where the onrushinS Pilots
took three out of four games from
Egan's men. FRANKIE was Knocked out
of the box one day, and kinsey. the
youngster who hooked up with Stat
terry here last week. suffered the same
fate the next day. Hasbrook was sent
in to pitch and astonished everyone by
holding Clinton hitless for three in
nines and striking out four men.
Hence his promotion to the pitching
staff He will also be used as pinch
hitter. says the Muscatine story. This
gives Esan pitching staff composed
of Flanagan. Pinkerton, kinsey, Has
