AMERICAN LEAD
IN TIGHT RACE
New York is Having Little
Trouble with National
Competitive Clubs.

New Yorg, Aus, i3,-Chicage in the
American league is holding onto first
place with difficulty, while New York
in the National has brought to aAclose
its victorious trip throughout h
west. The White Sox, winning only
one game out Of six last week, saw
their lead cut down to virtually moth
ing. Sunday they gained slightly on
Boston by defeating Cleveland 4 to 3
in Is innings. The Giants, by taking
five out Of six games, increased their
lead still further and, unless some Of
the first division teams show greatly
improved form, Labor day may see
them with the pennant virtually as
sured.
Chicago played poorly in its games
against PhiladelphiaAand Washington,
second division clubs. MONDAYS and
Tuesdays games were lost to Phila-
delphia. the first after eleven innings.
In four games against Washington
the White Sox won only one. Two
hits was the result Of the Chicago
hitting in Fridays and Saturdays
game.
In contrast to Chicago's poor work,
Boston and Cleveland improved their
Red Sox broke even In two games
with Cleveland and then won four out
Of ave from Detroit. Cleveland trad
ed third place back and forth with
Detroit early In the week, but by
winning four out Of Ave from New
York. gained q fair lead over the Tig-
ers. New York and Detroit fell back
Slightly in their respective series
against Cleveland and Boston. Re-
turning home Sunday, the Tigers beat
st. Louis and gained on Cleveland, de-
feated by Chicago.

the grimest determination on both
sides. But wherever the tanks
moved-and nothing served to swerve
one Of these from whatever course 1t
chose to take-the ranks Of the enemy
melted into disorderly rabble of panic
stricken fugitives.
A shell from the howitzer found the
Charming hacienda and laid it In
flaming, smoking ruins about the ears
Of Huroki and his staff.
Thirty minutes after the tanks had
inaugurated the offensive, the inva-
sion had been turned into rout. The
roads beyond the border were choked
with fugitives. Huroki and his per.
sonal aides forced their armored motor
car through the milling mob upon the
bridge at the border and regained
Mexican soil bare minute before an
other howitzer shell destroyed the
bridge utterly. and with 1t hundreds of
fleeing Mexicans and japanese.
The last action of the battle was an
engagement between American rough
riders and Mexican cavalry, in which
the latter. attempting to cover the rear
of the defeated army. were vanquished,
dissfpated, sent scurrying into the
south In disorder as great as that of

Ordering her batteries up to the
boundary line, Patria instructed them
to shell the fugitives mercilessly. Fur
ther than this line she would not per-
NIT them to move. Nor would she per-
NIT one of her declmated little army
to carry the war into Mexico.
In defending her own property
against aggression she had acted with
In her rights as a private citizen. If
reprisals were to be visited upon the
aggressors, that was the prerogative
Of the government of her country-not
