Yanks Kill Four Bandits

Maria, Texas, Aug. 22-Four
Mexican bandits were killed by
American troops in Mexico, Capt.
Leonard Matlack, who arrived
here by airplanc last night, re-
ported. They were surrounded
in an adobe block house that the
Mexicans had constructed in a
mountain pass. The bandits
fought desperately when they
found they were trapped and two
escaped.
When the American troops ap-
preached the blockhouse with the
intention of searching it the Mex
leans opened fire from portfolios.
The fire was returned and the
blockhouse charged by the Amer
ican cavalry troops.
Three of the four, Mexicans
killed have been identified as Je-
sus Janir, Francisco Janir and
Jose Fuentes. The identity of
the fourth bandit has not been as
certained. All four are known to
Capt. Matlack to be bandits who
have been operating along the
Big Bend border for years.
The two men who escaped were
pursued, but the trail was lost in
the mountain canyons.
1t was definitely established
that Renteria, leader of the out
law band that captured Lieuten-
ants Harold G. Peterson and Paul
H. Davis, American aviators, was
not among the dead.
Capt. Matlack said he passed a
column of 200 Carranza troops
below the border yesterday. The
Carranza commander asked
where the Americans were going.
When he was informed they were
pursuing bandits he waved his
hand and said, GO ahead"

RIOTINC CHARGED IN
STREET CAR STRIKE
(By Associated Press)

Louisville, Aug. 22-Six men,
arrested charged with rioting
during the operation of one street
car line for short time, and a
conference of business men who
are seeking to end trouble, were
the developments in the street
car strike which began its fourth
day today.
Carrying out Mayor Smiths
orders to the police to disperse
crowds assembling in the vicini-
ty of the car barns, police broke
up a mass meeting at the car barn
at 18th street and Broadway.
w. A. Whitehouse, president OF
the local carmen's union, and P.
II. O'Brien, national organizer,
protested against police interfer-
ence and hurried to the City Hall,
where they are said to have re.
ceived assurance that they could
talk to the strikers if they did not
obstruct traffic. 81
! During the afternoon the COM
pany renewed its efforts to re-
store service, sending out four
cars from the Broadway barn
Police were stationed at every
corner along the route of 2S
blocks, and each car was followed
by a. police machine, but no po-
llicenien were aboard the cars.
This procedure was said to in
dicate that the city had acceded
to the unions demand that police
be withdrawn from the cars, but
that the Police Department was
determined to maintain order
wherever cars were being oper-
lated.

The Weather

Fair tonight and Saturday not

New-York tribune., 1919-12-28

accounts largely for the financial sue
cess.
The great number Of upsets and the
fine football that was displayed by the
teams were due to the forward pass and
to the return to college of numerous
former football stars and others who
played considerable football while in
service. Good players, who had scin-
tillated on their college elevens, became
even more proficient by playing on SER
vice teams. And fellows who were not
SO good learned many things playing
alongside of men who were once nomin-
ated for the ail-star team.
When the coaches called the cardi-
dates together last September they
found not nucleus of few stars with
several possibilities, but dozen or
more former stars, with few dozen
possibilities, and as it developed, before
things had progressed very far in many
cases the possibilities proved to be bet
ter players than the former stars. In
several of the universities it was not
uncommon to have four or five former
letter players sitting on the bench
while new men were performing on the
field.
The forward pass is play which can
be used to as good advantage by the
little fellow as by the heavy opponent.
1t gives the little college good chance
OF winning against heavier teams which
it did not have before. And the little
fellows were not slow to take advan-
tage of it.
OF course, many of the large uniyer-
stiles, like Princeton, Penn State and
Penn, also made good use of the play.
But the forward pass and the return
from service of so many good football
prospects tended to edualize the college
teams of 1919. Naturally, under such
conditions there were bound to be up
sets.
Concerning individuals the season
produced greater number of star
backs than ever before. Good ends
we're plentiful also, and there were
seves9s good pairs of tackles, as well
as a nch of capable centers. or good
guar = however, there was a very no.

Rowing Quickly
Is Restored on
Pre-Wa ar Basis

Despite the fact that the Intercolle-
giate Regatta was not held on the Hud-
son last June, rowing activities were
staged on practically q pre-war basis
throughout the country in 1919. The an
nual National Amateur Regatta was
held as usual. being run of on Lake
Quinsigamond at Worcester, Mass, on
August L. There were numerous col
lege dual races. The Harvard ale
struggle took place at New London, the
Childs Cup race was held at Princeton
and the American Henley enjoyed a
wonderful success at Philadelphia.
One Of the most notable victories of
the year in rowing events was that of
Alfred FELTON,. of Australia, over Ernest
Barry on the Thames, England, October
81. Barry had held the sculling title
since 1912, when he had defeated Rich
ard Arnst. FELTON,. in wrestling the
honors from Barry won by margin
Of six lengths and helped to make the
year notably consistent in regard to
upsets in sports.
jority as the best of the college crews
in 1919. The Middies defeated both
Penn and Syracuse in the American
Henley on May 81. Penn later won
the Childs Cup meet at Princeton and
afterwards Cornell downed the Red and
Blue in a dual race. Early in the sea
son Yale trimmed the Tigers on the
Housatonic.
The Yale Harvard tussle. the first
postwar race, was resumed with all Of
its former color and brilliancy. The
Blue won the dual classic in splendid
fashion, although the Crimson was the
favorite.

One Of the largest crowds that ever
attcAded the National Regatta wit
messed the races at Worcester. 1t was
estimated that more than 25,O0O saw
the events from the banks and other
vantage points. The Duluth Boat Club
oarsmen, as has been their custom for
the past five years, carried off most Of
the events: winning five of the twelve
championships.
Jack Kelly, of the Vesper Boat Club
of Philadelphia, carried away the title
as national sculling champion, having
things virtually his own way The
Duluth crew won the national senior
eights race and the Century Boat Club.
OF st. Louis, captured first place in the
senior fours. The national senior
doubles race was won by William
Faulkner and Cary. Of the Riverside
Boat Club Of Cambridge.
Kelly, in addition to winning the
new amateur record for quarter of
a mile: He covered the distance on
the Schuylkill River in 1:143-5.
There was considerable harangue and
much speculation as to the holding of
the regatta on the poughkeepsie. but
the year passed without the tourney
being held. However, the regatta which
previously 10 the war was one Of the
spectacles Of the rowing season, will
be revived next Spring on an even more
pretentious scale.
The stewards have decided to make
the distance three miles instead of four
and 1T is expected that all of the col

Upsets Aplenty in Football;
Only Four Colleges Unbeaten
attendance Records
For Football Games
Shattered This Fall


Never before in the history of
football did SO many people witness
the various gridiron games as in
1919. The first postwar season was
wonderful success, but particularly
did it eclipse all others in regard to
the number OF spectators that filed
through the turrstiles.
The year 1920 gives promise of
being even more sensational and
greater in the matter of brilliant
contests, of upsets and of large
crowds. The game has in the past
five years gained a stronghold on the
general public which it did not have
before. All of the teams are ar
ranging stronger schedules and many
of the stars of this years elevens
will again be on hand for compesi-
tion.
