PLAYERS oN STRIKE.
(By Review Leased Wire


 BOSTON, Sept. 10.-B1g Jim Vaughn, the powerful left-handed pitcher of the Chicago Nationals. kept the Boston club out of the worlds se- ries championship today by winning the fifth game of the series, ? to O, after the contest had been delayed for an hour by an unprecedented strike of the players of both teams for a readjustment of their share of the pro Ceeds.
 When 1t seemed as if the players and the representative of the national commission, Garry Hermann and Ban Johnson, were hopelessly deadlocked and the curtailed baseball year would fizzle out in a strike, Harry Hooper, the Red Sox captain. called the turn.
 We will play" he said, acting as spokesman for both teams, mot be- cause we think we are getting a far deal. because we are not. But we'll play for the sake of the game, for the sake of the public which has always given us it's loyal support and for the sake of the wounded soldiers and sailors who are in the srandstand waiting for us"

Both teams insisted that the winners should be guaranteed S2.00O apiece and the lOs- CTS S1400. But the sharp falling off in attendance had made it unlikely that the players would get anywhere near this sum, according to their spokesman, Captain Hooper of the Red Sox and Leslie Mann of the Cubs.

 Newspaper correspondents who in spected the gun on the day it was fired were permitted at the time to say in their cablegrams only that this sergeant was from South Bend. The honor of firing this first shot had been
  claimed by another member of the same battery. Capt. Indus R. McLen- don, in command of battery c, in writ ing of this event, expresses his con yiction that the people of the United States should have available an au- thoritative account both because of the of the deed and because in his opinion credit should go to the man whom the officers of battery c say it is due-Sergt Alex Arch. Ser geant Arch of South Bend is the man who pulled the lanyard and sent the first American shot into the hostile lines on the morning of Oct 23, 1917, at five minutes past 6 Captain Me Lendon says.

 Generally the armies are still at a pause and what forward movements have been carried out have been more in the nature of line straightening and for the suppressing of active German positions.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-YOuths Cf l9 and 20 years and men between the ages Of 32 and 36 inclusive who register Thursday will first be called to the colors, Provost Marshal Gen. eral CrOwder announced today, and un- til the supply of available fighting material in their ranks has been ex- hausted older men will not be induct- cd into service.

MEXICAN CONSUL ALSO
JOSE Nj. ARREDoNDo AT DOUG LAS LETS HIS NATIONALS S KNOW TRUTH ABOUT REGIS TRATIoN AND WHAT POINTS IT IS INTENDED TO COVER
CBy Review Leased Wire,

FL PASO, Tex, Sept. 1O.-A rush of Mexican laborers return ing to Mexico for fear of being in- ducted into the United States army. caused Brig. Gen. J. J. HornbroOk, district commander. to issue a proclamation today as- surfing the Mexican nationals that the act of registration Thursday would not induct them into the army. At the Mexican general consulate today it was stated an average of 300 Mexicans daily were applying for passports to return to Mexico. Many are cOm- ing from Kansas, Pennsylvania, California and other interior states where they have been en- gagged in farming, mining and oth- CT essential occupations.
 General HOrnbrook's proclama- tiOn, in Spanish, was printed to- day in all Mexican. newspapers and shown on moving picture screens in the Mexican quarter in an effort to stop the exodus of Mexican laborers.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-11

Fer several days German propagan- ists have been busy circulating rumors among the Mexican population about the registration. These rumors are baseless, malicious and untrue As q result some of them are quitting un- usually profitable employment, sacri- ficing their property and other inter ests and leaving with their families for Mexico.
 This proclamation is issued for the purpose of enabling all MeXicaIis to clear.y undo rstand the policy of the United States government in this mat ter.
 The selective conscription law re- quires the registration of all male res idents on Sept. F. 1918, between the ages of IS and 21 and 31 and 45. Reg istratiOn, however, is not cOnscription.
 RumOrs that Mexican citizens will be drafted are false. This applies like: wise to aliens of all other countries. Do not sacrifice your interests because of false German propaganda. Regis tration is required, but that means protection for aliens from the draft. All that is necessary for a Mexican citizen to do to secure exemption is to establish his Mexican citizenship. Officials, attorneys and other patriot ic citizens will assist those MeXicans who do not understand our language to prepare their questionaires in which their claim for exemption will be prop erly set out
 In order to properly establish your Mexican citizenship. those who can do so should have with them their birth certificate. In the event that this certificate is not at hand. it is suggested that you secure affidavits from two reliable witnesses concern ing your birth place or such other evi- dence as is available. Citizenship can also be established by the fact that you have been properly matriculated at your nearest Mexican consulate.
 Labor at this time is being paid unheard-Of prices. Employment is plentiful. Business conditions are good and the country is prosperous Those who remain in addition to benefitting themselves will be doing their bit" toward winning the war against ap- tocracy. It is the desire of the gov ernment to continue to extend to Mex jeans all the rights and liberties which have heretofore influenced them 10 come within our borders.
 Do not be deceived by these or other false rumors which will be circulated by German propaganda. Consult your cOnsuls. also prominent American cit iZens of Mexican descent when doubts arise. Consult your own interests and
