 |S DEMOLISHED
TRepuhIican A. p. Leased WireJ

 EAGLE PASS, June 26.-The United States consulate at Torreon, Mexico, was demolished June IS by a mob of 5000 civilians led by the mayor of the city and a CarranZa army band, ac- cording to American refugees arriving here late today. The populace was at tending bull fight, according to the refugees, when the de facto govern ment troops forced them to join in an anti American demonstration.
 The mob rushed through the streets shouting Death to all the gringoes, D and upon reaching the consulate, tore up the furniture and destroyed the building. Then the rioters congregated in the plaza of the town where a mass ! meeting was held. The mayor and 1 other prominent Mexicans. it is said, addressed this meeting, melting the people against Americans, advising. all { citizens of the United States to be run | out of the country.
 1 Among the Americans arriving here with this story are: H. G. Boren, J. J
 Martin, J. A. Rogers, F. M. Howard, L

ing areas, not only in Italian terri tory. but in places taken from the Austrians. Ugo Ojetti. an art critic of international reputation, who has long been officially identified with Italian art and architecture, was ap- pointed the head of the department just a year ago, since which time many million dollars worth of art treasures have been taken in charge.
 The art department is kept fully informed regarding any new advances on the part of the Italian army, and it frequently acts under artillery fire. Once the Austrians troops have been definitely dislodged, the art depart ment conducts a thorough search for art objects, and takes complete charge of those that the Austrians have left behind. The search often leads into graveyard tombs and into vaults under | churches where the treasures were hidden for safe keeping in the early days of the war For instance, they removed 1,600 objects from the arch eologcal museum at Aquileja on the night of April 2S, 1915, according to : Lieutenant Ojetti at the very time Austria was offering thiN city tC Italy through diplomatic channels.
 According to Lieutenant Ojetti, il was the policy of Austria before the war to hide from the Italian popula- ton all the Roman remains sugges- tive of the Italian origin of the coun. try in what is now known as "unre l., ,l C. the war the world will have througl the new Italian occupation, mucl larger store of Roman antiquities, th existence of many of which has hith erto been unknown.

SURPRISE OF YEAR
Eppa Jeppa Rixey Has Arrived
at Last, 1t Seems.
From Mere Prospect He Jumps
to the Real Star Glass.
BY FRANK G. MENKE

New York, Sept 19.-Eppa Jeppa
Rixey has come thru in the hour of
his greatest need. After four years
of clubbing the spiral southpaw has
found himself. He has been pitching
a brand of baseball all year that has
made him one of the most feared
pitchers in Johnny Tener's baseball
league.
Eppathets form reversal this sea-
son has been one of the surprises of
baseball. No one figured him in as a
real defensive factor in the Phillies
pennant tight; Rixey, from 1912 to
1915 had been given many chances;
nearly always he failed. He was an
unrelia BILE pitcher; one who seemed to
be holding his big league job more be-
cause he was prospect" than be-
cause of real worth. But now the
spiral finger is in the thickest part
of the battle for the pitching cham
pionship of the National league.
Rixey won 10 out of his first &c
games which gave to him a rank even
higher than that of Grover Alexander
an accomplishment that most folks
will admit is worthy of more than
passing mention. And he's still going
strong; still performing without any
noticeable signs of cracking.
Moran's Prophecy True.
IL R1Xey ever IlnQS n1mSelI ne Will
rank among the greatest pitchers in
baseball" Pat Moran once said He
has a powerful arm, a cool head, baf-
fling curves and world of speed. But
he lacks control and steadiness. If he
ever acquires them, watch him."
The folks are doing it now.
Eppa. OF boy, went to the Phillies
after graduating from the University
of Virginia, sab, That was in the sum-
mer of 1912. In that year he won 10
out of 20 games for the Phillies. In
1913 he shared nine games in IA trials.
Folks began to figure then that he
had arrived. But Eppa showed to
them the folly of their reasoning by
losing l out of 8 games in 1915. Last
season. with championship club be-
hind him. the best Ep could do was
II victories in % starts-a AIS show
ing.
But this year-well. it's a different
kind of story the boys are writing and
telling about the port-sider; one that
lifts him out of the eccentric class and
gives to him ranking among the great
est pitchers in the game.

TWO TEAMS OUT
Kennedy Puts Big Freshman
Squad Thru 3-HOur Practice.
Captain Stewart May Play
Guard Position This Season.

More than forty freshman and var
city candidates were out on Washburn
field Monday afternoon. More than
twenty freshen were out at 2:30 and
they put in a stiff three hours prac-
tice to the varsity's two.
Monday afternoons practice was di-
rected at the same vulnerable points:
Teaching men to receive forward
passes and trying to unearth some one
to do the Tipping Forward pass
practice was continued for at least an
hour and Stewart, Perry, Sullivan and
Hope were used In hurting the pig
skin. OF the four Sullivan and Stew
art showed the best ability, many of
their flips travelling forty yards and
with speed and direction.
"Church" Sargent and Hank Sui
Ivan were the newcomers on the
field and the presence of both lent an
extra ray TO the general illumination.
In the signal practice which followed,
Sargent put the men thru PAGES n
the snappiest sort of manner. An
other new man out for the varsity was
Doc Raster, a former prep school
player.
In the hours signal practice the
following lineup was used: Palmer,
&C; Whitcomb, r. G.; Wilson, +. t.; Cal
lahan, +. e; Colvin, /. g.; Logan. l. l.;
Trull. l. e.; Sargent, q. b.; Art Cham
j. peny, l. H. GeTTys l. H., anu I1OPS'

Nine men were left over from the
above choice, including Capt. Stewart.
A second varsity lineup was made
consisting of: Cox. c.: Splitter. +. t.;
Markham. +. e.. Benton, l. g.; Baker.
q. b.; Stewart, f. b.; Heller, l. h.; Kas-
ter. r. h.
Just where Captain Stewart may
play this year is puzzle to the coacn
and spectators. Stewart at present is
the best kicker on the team, the best
passer. and in the scanty scrimmage to
date has shown up like a Chamberlain
and is without peer as a iinesman.
However. there is a good possibility
that he will be at guard this year. one
of Kennedy's sayings being, "show me-
team with good guards and I'll show
you a good team
Perry Good Passer.
Altho the prophecy season has hard
~ opened yet, it looks reasonable that
if Perry continues to improve in kick
ing and passing he will be slated to do
a large share in the two departments.
The showing of Callahan and Trull.

Both are fast. sure-death tacklers and

Variety of Shots a Big Asset ON

good luck has played a conspicuous
part in my recent success. | did not
mean by that that my way had been
easy, but l did mean that it had not
been as in former years paved with

Byers and Travis, terrifying under

Long Practice Helped.
The game, however, that made it
possible for me to win these two titles
as soon as good fortune smiled upon
me is the result of eighteen years
practice. During those years 1 have
learned and unlearned much, and
many times l have discarded as use
less the labor of months.
l believe firmly that such advanta ge
as 1 have comes from the control of a
variety of shots. / believe the diff
cult courses are better suited to my
game and that is why l have felt at
home on the links of Britain. Indeed,
an American golfer, thinking that my
showing abroad was better than any
other American golfer except Mr..
Travis, declared that I had a better
chance to win the British champion
ship than our twn national.
Variety of shots Asset.
Whenever several good golfers play
on an unfamiliar course, the man with
variety of shots is almost sure to
win. Local knowledge may have dis

weakness in game, but whenever all

with a difficult course it is easier to
size up their SKILL
