WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-A demand
for armed intervention in Mexico is
not unlikely to result from the investi.
cation about to be started bv the Sem
ate sub committee headed bv Senator
Fall, of New Mexico.
According to members of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee the opinion
is entertained at the State Department
that IT situation arises in which il
VIII be no longer possible for the
United States government to support
the Carranza government intervention
will be the only alternative.
Senators have been appealed to bv
representatives of certain factions in

that If this government viii merely
Withdraw It's recognition from Carran-

arms and ammunition to cross the
American border for the revolutionists.
they will take care of the Carranza
problem and Will speedily. after remov-
ing hlm, set up stable government.
The Senators are not much impres essed
by this optimism, but, on the other
hand. they do not altogether share the
pesslmlsm OF the State Department.
Republican SenStors who have ana
.yzcd the testimony before the House
committee declare that it demonstrates
three Fundamental facts. as follows:
First - That the Carranza regime
was made a government in name
only, and has been held in power since
October, 1915. solely by the diplomatic
recognition of the United States. and
the subsequent support and favors ac-
corded by this government.
Second - That the Carranza gov
ernment' has not protected Americans
IN Mexico from the depredations of its
own partisans.
Third the American govern
ment has been unable TO impress
the Mexican government with sense
OF the Importance of protecting Amer
lcan lives and property, proof of this

at the time Of his death.
The artist, on furough from the
state hospital, was taken to the camp
July 3. Although the disease which
caused his death had had him an it's

Occasionally he was melancholy, and
he was particularly bitter at his
failure to obtain recognition when
recognition might have changed the
whole course OF his life. The failure

recent trips to New York, where his
works have been on exhibition, and it
dwelt in his cloudcd mind.

New York, Oct. 2O-Having finish ed their preparatory work. amicably settled a difference of op.uion with the management on a business ques- tion and expressed confidence il their ability to win the first prize in the competition, the seven expert baiE liners who are entered in the tourney for the worlds championship at 12.2 are ready for the opening games this afternoon and evening in the Hotel AstOr ballroom.
 \ rare treat is in store for the low CTS of the game of billiards. Jake Schaefer, son of the most spectac acular player who ever chalked a cue, will appear in the first game of the day. He is scheduled to meet Ora Morn ingstar, a former champion, at l p. m.
 The second match of the day will bring together two former title hold CTS, George Sutton and George F. Slosson, the student" Old timers will be interested in the work of these veterans of the cue.
 The feature of the first day of play will be the match beginning at S:30 D. m. between William F. Hoppe, champion of champions, and Welker Cochran, the sensational young per former from Manson, Ia, who has been a challenger of the baIk line king for nearly two years. This match should serve to give the on lockers fairly clear idea, of the rel ative form of the champion and chal- Ienger. The last meeting between Hoppe and Cochran resulted in a rather one-sided contest, the young Iowan being for the most part a spec tator.
 Quite naturally, Cochran has mate riaIly improved since that time, and will give the champion a stiff argu- ment. The youngsters friends be- lieve he has an excellent chance tn beat the title holder

PAT MORAN GETS ROARING
 WELCOME IN HIS H0hHE TOWN
All Fitchburg Turns Out to Greet Manager of Reds Great Manager Says Nine Game Series Is
 Too Much of Strain.

Fitchburg, Oct. 20.-Pat Moran, the Moses of modern days baseball, hav- ing achieved his task of leading Nor ris Rath, Heinie Groh, Jake Daubert and the rest of the downtrodden Reds out of a half century Of bondage in the second division of the National league and into the promised worlds championship, is back home again in Fftchlburg and all Worcester county is rejoicing.
 Five minutes after his big touring car that burned up the mileage be- tween this burg and Worcester and turned it's dusty way into West Fitch burg every fan in town was aware of the fact, and they had a hard time to keep the local mills from shutting down. For the local pride has come back to his own again, and ere he shakes the dust of this hilIy section from his heels the leader of the Gin cinnati worlds champions will be given plenty of reason for believing that all the world loves a winner. But, tired out after all the hulla- baioo that he has just escaped from at Redland, Pat wisely sidestepped the big welcome that the fans were wait ing to give him, and only a few inti- mate friends were made aware of the time of his arrival.
 Instead of coming direct to Fitch burg, where he would have had to run a gauntlet at the railroad station, Pat alighted from the train at Wor- cester Friday forenoon, and here he was met by his brother Tom, Colonel George Wallace, Mayor Foss, Edward. J. Breen and George H. Goodbeer, who had left town early in the morn | ing and journeyed in a, big auto to the Heart of the Commonwealth to greet the conquering hero.
 | A hearty handshake as Pat got off the train and an immediate departure
 for one of the hotels followed, and,
 according to those who knew, there weren't any excise people in the lneighborhood when the reunion took place. It was a hearty greeting that Pat received, and a hearty meal that
 helped to take some of the taste of
 that dubious rain fodder from his pal
 ate. And if a Spirited" discussion followed there was no harm done.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-10-20

Going directly to F'itchburg, the party stopped for a few minutes at the Sentinel office, where Pat had to hand out a few columns of inter views, and then it was straight home to 65 Phillips street, where Moran Senior, the proudest man in Massa- chusetts, was waiting to hug his brainy son.
 q knew they couldn't trim you, Pat, my boy said the fond fathe as he hugged him warmly. 'fTrotn, no one but the barber was ever able to do that thing" he chuckled. And then the father stood side by side with Pat shaking hands with friends and neighbors who just insisted on forcing their way into the house to greet the Reds manager.
 As Pat said later on it was harder work than having to stand up during nine innings with Orvie Overall burning them over.
 When the news percolated down town it was rumored that the chief of police gave orders to the night force to attach red cords to their night sticks, while Mayor Foss found half a dozen decorators all eager to put in bids for the repainting of the haEOT 5 OIlCe, WHICH IS SIIO1 l4S lO bS done in red. Meanwhile the local fans are laying in stores of red fire for the big celebration that is going 10 turn the town upside down to- morrow night.
 To say that Moran is happy would be expressing the matter mildly. It was a hard task for him to get away from Cincinnati, where he could have had anything from the keys to the City Hall to the remainder of the t'seven ard a half per cent" that the press gang left Garry Hermann after the final game at Cincinnati. But the Reds leader wanted to get back to Gods country.
 There is no place like home after aIl.'' Patriots emphatically declares. CT m dead tired out, and the old hills around this burg look mighty restfui to me. I'm going to stay here for a week or so, and then go back to Chicago. where Mrs Moran and the

Then American Chain eleven open ed the 1919 football season yesterday at NewfieId park by burvtng the team from the New London Naval Base under a score of 32 to 0. The sailors were outweighed about 20 pounds 10 a man and put up a very poor eNhibi- ton of pigsllin chasing. They showed a lack of fighting spirit and football sense, and outside of the stellar play ing of IcGowan the Bridgeport High school eleven would have put up a much better showing.
 Morehouse of StratfOrd, who was the selection fof referee, was unable to appear and Chirruptng Charlie Mahoney directed the hostilities. This substitution undoubtedly saved the fans a monotonous afternoon as Charlie proved right after the kick off and from then on kept himself in hot water for the rest of the afternoon. Charlie has got his jobs mixed up. He ought to be out on Main and Fairfield directing traffic with that graceful wave of his trusty right hand and his brand new whistle.
 Waters started the game by kiCking g off to the sailors and Brown was downed in his tracks trying to run the ball back. New London tried three attempts to break the stonewall defense of the Acco's but were forced to kick.

ROAST SHARPE;

 JONES ID YALE

New Haven, Oct. 20-A1 Sharpe, Yale head coach, was criticized on the ground that he had put the players through too many strenuous scrin- images and that several of the play CTS were unable to take part in the game because of this.
 Tim Callahan, the captain and cen tre; Joe Neville, a back; Fred Gra- ham, an end, and Crane and Aldrich, backs. it was pointed out, had been rendered unavailable for service as the result of bruises sustained in the scrimmages to which Sharpe had subjected the squad and it was sug- gested that none of the players would be in condition for the Prince ton and Harvard games unless Sharpe nodifes his program.
 An emergency call for Tad Jones, coach of the 1916 team, which de- feated both Harvard and Princeton, was seriously considered and, unof- fcial1y, it was said that such a cal, had already gone out. Jones is at present in Seattle, where he is en- gagged in the shipbuilding business.
