Dr. Karl Muck, former leader Of the
Boston symphony orchestra, is on his
way back to Germany, having been de-
ported by the United States government
after being held in internment during the
past two years. Muck is recognized as a
fine musician and an excellent orchestra
leader, but he was troubled with lack Of
harmony with American ideals and in
stitutions, and that is something which
jars the senses of the people of the
United States tremendously. He would
always have been a discord in American
life had he been allowed to remain.

The Euclid club is the sixth winner
of the Suburban League title and will
represent the league in the city
matches. In 1914 and 1918 the Hol-
mead Club. runner up this season,
won the race. In 1918 the Racquet
Club won the flag, although it was
forced to meet Petworth to play Off
a tie.
Racquet won again in 1917 after
defeating Princeton. which had tied
up with the Racquet Club. In 1918
the Princeton Club won handily al
most without opposition. This years
winner possesses such players as
Alexander. Dudley, Hixson, Knapp,
Erwin. Cliff, Wells. Sheppard, F.

In closing up the season yesterday
Euclid dropped four oct of seven
matches to the Holmead team. Ar
gyIe continued it's great drive and
took all seven matches from the
Standards players, while Racquet
managed to get FIVE out OF seven en-
gagements from the Home Club men.
Here's how the league finished up
its season:
The Washington times., 1919-08-03

The pennant-winner this season will
win about 50 victories and will lose
somewhere around 30 games. The
.hances of any team in the race may
be doped from this standard, figuring
the difference between its present
totals and S5-5J. and then learning
now many games must be won TO
reach the So total. With approx
mately 81 games yet to be played,
the Griffmen. as an example. would
have to win almost every game from
now TO the end Of the season TO land
the chief honor. The closer the
teams are TO 81 victories. the fewer
Victories are needed.
Five teams are in the 1919 pennant
scramble, all four Western clubs, and
the New York Yankees Boston,
Washington and Philadelphia are
merely playing out the schedule, each
with a chance OF spelling some 9TH
er teams chance, but without any
hope for itself He could make a
fortune for himself. could one dope
The ultimate winner.
There is every reason TO believe
that the title will be in doubt down
TO the very end. First the White
Sox jumped ahead. Then came the

White Sox to gain the lead once

 Details of the attempted coup de main by which Villa was to obtain control Of the Chihuahua garrison and city, continue to be revealed. The plot as originally formed, was to have the federal artillery officers and enlisted men revolt, man the guns on Sierra Santa Rosa, lombard the town and be joined by the infantry and cavalry included in the mutiny. All the plans had been carefully made for thls to take place at dawn on August [.
 All of the gates of the city were closed and a hunt was started through the city under pretense of looking for Villa spies The leaders were soon arrested and many valuable papers captured. Additional ar rests followed, all trains were concelled and the mails held up.
 The mutiny plot was said to have had ramifications in the states of Coahuila Tamaulipas, Nuevo, Leon and Durango as shown by the captured files of the con- spirators. No other revolt plots were discovered in the garrisons of these states it was announced.
