CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 21-
Two Bolsheviki cavalry regiments
have passed over southern Armenia
into Turkish territory and lined up
with the Turkish nationalist follow
ers, according to advices received
here today. Soviet Russia has con-
cluded an agreement with Armenia
by which two provinces in Southern
Armenia will be neutralized. En-
tente circles are alarmed by this con-
vention which they believe it equiva-
lent to permission by Armenia for
the Bolsheviki to cross the country
from Baku into Anatolia where the
Soviet forces can join those of the
Turkish Nationalists.

ROYAL GIANTS
DEFEATED BY
FAIRBANKS A. A.

The Royal Giants of Montreal had
the Royal rubbed off their winning
streak Friday afternoon on the cam
pus by the Fairbanks A. A. of st.
Johnsbury to the tune of to 1 in one
of the best games of baseball seen
this season. Their winning streak
was broken after 33 consecutive vic
tories The crack St. Johnsbury
team put over the sixth defeat the
Montreal team has suffered this sea-
son and they put it over by superior
baseball playing.
The "ebony" boys did not have any
time for their favorite pranks right
from the start off. ST. Johnsbury got
a run in the first inning. The Giants
center fielder had high fly directly
in the sun and he could not field the
ball. This put Davidson on second
on a play that would ordinarily have
been a put out, but that had to be
scored a two bagger.
1t was just enough to get the nerve
of the colored boys and from that
time on they played baseball every
minute. But in spite of their best en-
deavors Hoernle's stars kept right
after the ball, did not pull any
"bdne" plays and won over their
powerful opponents by sheer merit.
The crowd at the game was one Of
the largest of the season. The st.
Jehnsbury team is receiving magnlfi-
cvht support from the fans and itSis
easy to see that frst-class team
will be supported to the limit in this
town.
Witty pitched a superb game,
tightening up in the pinches and
showing himself past master of the
mound game. He also felded several
hot grounders in fine shape. Under
Hoernle's careful eye he is rounding
into real major league class.
Witty scored six strikeouts on a
team that is noted for its heavy stick
work, allowed but four hits and pas
sed but one man. His opponent
Emory struck out five men, allowed
six hits an dpassed one man. 1t will
be seen that Witty travelled right

CANTAL0UPE CARS
THRU MEXICO.

SAN DIEGO, April 29.-Imperial
Valley growers expect to ship $4,000
cars of cantaloupes this year, accord
ing to Customs Collector Clarence D.
Sprigg, who has just completed an in
spection trip Of ports of entry in the
ye1av.
Practically all of the cars will be
shipped through Mexico, going out of
the United States at Calexico and en-
tering them again at Andrade. The
customs regulations decree that these
cars in transit must proceed under
the supervision of the custosm service.
There are two ways in which this may
be done, says Collector Sprigg, one
of which he deems impractical. The
cars may be sealed at the port of exit,
which takes time, and this method
demands that the seals be examined
when re-entering the United States.
Here would follow another delay,
which the growers feel would be harm
full to the conditions of the canta-
loupes.
The present practice therefore is to
send rider with each train to insure
that no foreign goods will be put on
board during the journey through for
