Mexicans Aiding
American Forces
Search for Bandits

MARIA, Texas, Aug. 23.-After a
day of limited operations the Ameri-
can punitive expedition faced the
probability of forced march tonight
to reach new base from which the
troops will scout tomorrow for the
bandits who held two American army
av;ators for ransom.
Reports from the Mexican consul
at Presidio, Texas, stated that coop
Grafton between Mexican troops and
the Americans was continuing salts
factorily and that there was no anxi-
ETY. over possible friction.
General John T. Dickman, COM
mander of the Southern Department,
reiterated that no more troops would
be sent from here into Mexico at this
time. He added, however, that eff
forts were being made obtain more
planes to maintain liason with troops
in Mexico and that he hoped to have
the planes soon. More machines be-
come necessary as the distance from
the border to the expedition increases,
he explained.
General Dickman set at rest reports
that the troops would soon be with
drawn by stating taat the search
would continue as long as it is pos
sible to follow the trails.
One airplane in Mexico broke its
rudder control yesterday and narrow
ly escaped from serious accident.
The scene of operations at present
and for the immediate future is the
country over which Villa operated in
November, 1917, when he attacked
and captured Objinaga and threatened
Preside, Texas.

Kilbane Thinks
He's Unbeatable

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.--( (By Unit
ed Press. Johnny Kilbane declared
after his fight with joe Fox at Phila-
delphia recently mat he could have
knocked out thatagoung Britisher iffs
the second round of the milling had
it not been his misfortune to crack
knuckle early in the battle.
Kilbane said he was careless In the
first round to an extent that Fox was
able to land on him practically at any
time with everything he had. "And
he couldn't hurt me-" added the feath-
erweight champion. when found
there was nothing 10 his punches ]
waded in to end the scrap just as soon
as / could. In the second round as
Fox was coming in cooked my right
and let it go, but in getting away from
the punch, Fox ducked and my fist
landed full force on the side of his
head. My hand and arm went numb
The nuckle was cracked and could
deliver no more hard punches with
the right during the rest of the hight,
The fight was in the nature Of
test for the featherweight title-holder.
He wanted to get back in action, bu'
didn't care to make IL too strong un-
til he had found just how far he could
90, so he chose the six-round route at
Philadelphia with fast, light-hitting
opponent. The result, he contends,
has convinced him that he is ready to
step at the old championship pace.
Kilbane probably is fooling himself
some, it is contended. Friends urge
that he should realize right now that
he cannot go on and on, whipping
featherweights. Some day, the .Cleve-
land boxer will step into ring with
some fresh young daisy and the next
thing he will remember will be the
boys telling him where he got hit.
Kilbane is now figuring on meeting
Benny Valger, the French champion,
in the fall. 1t probably will be the
hardest thing he ever tackled, for Val
ger is hard-punching, rugged bat
tier. 1t will take all the Kilbane
knowledge and ring experience to keep
him away. Many experts believe Val
ger is the next featherweight cham
pion, and Kilbane himself believes
him to be the best Of his challengers.
At presents it looks like the pair
would meet in Cleveland or near by
on Labor Day--probably in twenty
round battle to decision.

Britton Meets $
O'Dowd Tonight

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-(United
Press. Tonight Jack Britton, dean
of all the fighters, will take on his
hardest assignment when he battles
Mike O'Dowd, holder of the worlds
middleweight title, in an eight-round
New Jersey mill. Britton, the welter-
weight champion, readily agreed to
the match when it was proposed to
him some time ago ana agreed to let
O'Dowd enter the ring weighing 158
pounds, which is the middleweight
limit.
Experts bolieve Britton is, for the
first time in his long, successful ca
reer, taking 6 step that may lead him
into defeat 1t is pointed out that he
is meeting rugged, hard-h,tting
fighter who weighs many pounds
more than Britton himself and who
may land the knockout punch that so
rcany others have tried and failed
with.
Britton, however, insists that he
likes these rushing fighters. He con-
tends that Mike will be easy for him
to hit, and he depends on his speed
afoot to keep the heavier man at his
distance. Those who see in the bat
tie the possibility of defeat for Brit
ton, however, declare that O'Dowd
has many times proved his ability to
hit fast men and that he will be able
to reach Britton. One smash from
the powerful O'Dowo arms would be
equal to several from the mitt of the
average welter or lightweight. For
that reason they have fears regard
ing the outcome of the bout.
In no class of battlers is there a
better man than Johnny Kilbane, who

Freddie Welsh finely when that Welsh
man was champion of the light-weights
but after Benny Leonard had stopped
Welsh and grown into the title, John
also undertook to defeat him. One
punch ended Johns ambitions and al
most stretched him out for a full
count. AS it was Leonard was cred
tied with a knockout victory and John
Immediately ceased to cast longing
eyes on the lightweight crown.
O'Dowd cannot win the weIter title
by defeating Briton, but he can make
a lot of money out of the battle. That
is what is attracting him.
Money also lures Britton, but the
weights are such that if he should
win by knockout he would come into
possession of the middle weight title
in addition to his already achieved
welterweight crown.

According to Mayo:

New Haven, Conn, May 28.-The
riot which kept this city in an up
roar most of last night was attri-
buted today by Mayor Fitzgerald to
"bolshevik elements" which had
taken advantage of a minor clash
between discharged service men and
Yale undergraduates, caused by un-
confirmed reports that Yale men
had Kissed the 102d regiment band
The police reports showed five
men hurt, two by bullets, none Sc
riously. and about a dozen detained
pending inquiry. Considerable win
dow glass in Yale buildings was
broken and a few store windows

either knocked down or roughly
jostled.

that neither service men nor students

statement concerning my colleague

though the revelation, casually
though it was made, that he had seen
the pretty, dashing girl in whom he
had betrayed so much interest at the
Stockbridge reception, was an un-
mistakable shock to me. But my
knowledge of Dicky's volatile, care
less nature, the memory of former
mistakes of mine in my attitude to-

recollection Of Lillian's sage advice

preserving an attitude Of good-na-
