Yes. II is important and here are
the reasons. Tho distance and the
course which fly bah will travel
depends largely on what the pitcher
gives the batter to hit at. For this
reason II Is important that the catch

OBREGoN FORCES CONCENTRATE
FOR ATTACK ON VERA CRUZ

Tampico, Mexico.-Three columns
commanded by General Fausto Topet
and Juan Andrew AImazan are advanc-
ing toward Vera Cruz against the
rebels. The columns comprised all ele-
ments necessary to meet the de In
Huerta forces. The expectation is that
the federal forces will come in con-
tact with the rebels on the i~nteroceanic
railway at Jalapa and on the Mexican
railway at EsperanZa.
The advance column of 5000 men,
commanded by General Luis Cutter
rez, which left Panuco for Tuxpam
with the object of thanking the rebels
in Vera Cruz, has reached Puerta
Lobos and Palo Blanco and occupied
both places without fighting.
A body of seamen has been assem-
bled in Tampico to form units for
manning the gunboats and coast guard
ships, which will cooperate in any at
tack by sea against the rebels in Vera
Cruz. Rear admiral Othon P. Robledo,
on board the gunboat Bravo, com
mands the flotilla. The Bravo is cruis-

Submarine L-24 Goes Down
With Crew ard Officers

Weymouth, Eng.-The British sub
marine L-24 was sent to the bottom
of the sea by the dreadnaught Resolu-
ton, with which she was in collision.
The disaster, which occurred off Port
land, was similar to one which hap
pened two years ago, when the K-5
was sunk.
SO far as is known, all on board the
L-24, numbering 43, persisted.
Details are somewhat meager but
it seems that the Atlantic fleet was
leaving Weymouth in various group
including several submarines. for the
spring cruises, when the Resolution
rammed the L-24, which was a mine
laying vessel and had IA live mines
aboard. The accident occurred in a
fog, when the vessels had opened out
in the channel.
Another report says that the col
lisiOn occurred when a combined at
tack on the fleet was being carried out
by submarines from Portland, Ports
mouth and Plymouth.
The L-24 sank Immediately, and, al
though salvage vessels hurried to the
spot and the whole area was searched
by the mine-sweeping f~lotilla, no trace
the Inflated vessel was found.
