fielder at present. The dickering by
the White SoX does not mean they are
disa ppointed in Scott at short, because
he has been teaming UP exceilently
with Collins. but ii does mean they
figure on more reserve strength and
better chance to win with Ward
than without him.
Likes to Play Short.
Ii Ward goes to Chicago the
probability Is that he would play
shortstop. He has been eager to play
at short for some time. He believes
he can play short better than any
other position on the infield. Even if
he did help to win a pennant for the
Yankees by playing second base, he
is confident that he could make bet
ter record at shortstop The right
side of the infield is not to his liking
The exchange OF players demanded
by the Yanks has baked negotia tions
thus far. Higgins wants Barrett and
Gulley in exchange for Ward. In
addition to McCurdy. catcher. The
White Sox can afford to spare Barrett
and they would be letting a mighty
good kid batter get away II they sent
Gulley along in the deal. II Gulley
goes tn New York. II is probable he
would he sent to st. Paul. The Yanks
have an excess Of high class out
fielders as they stand, and in addition
TO Gulley they would no doubt plant
Barrett in ST. Paul II he were in
cluded in any trade. That additional
strength would put st. Paul far up in
the American Association race and
give the Yanks outfield reserves for
the future which would keep the team
h. I-L La, hnt to-. f-.-
years TO come.
Yanks Need Catcher.
II Chicago could be prevailed upon
10 make the trade and send the Yanks
A young catcher who can hit like
blazes, It would surely put New York
more prominently in the race-and
possibly the White Sox are not keen
for result of that kind. since II may
be New York that the Chicago team
will have to beat in order 10 cop the
championship.
With kamm, Ward and Collins
working together on the left side and
center of the Chicago infield. the
pitchers of the Chicago team would
be even better than they are now
and two Of them threaten to he
leaders in the American League race
for pitching supremacy.
The White Sox infield would cover
ground better than almost any infeld
in the league. except Washington. as
all the players are sure with their
hands as we'll as speedy on their feet
Ward might bat better If he were
with the White Sox and holding q
position on the inf1eld agreeable to
him.
II the Sox give the Yankees Gulley
and Barrett. it would cut down the
reserve outfield strength of the
Chicago club, which needs something
to work on. as the retirement Of
Hooper, followed by the illness Of
Mostil for the last week. made evident
TO the Chicago manager Just what he
needs to get through the year.

l3.-The Church of the Sacred Heart
Of Christ once more is open to Catholic
worshipers in the village of Jalis-
uuello, near here, following a riot in
which three officials were killed. The
trouble was precipitated by an effort
of state dignitaries to close the temple
by order Of the state and federal gov.
ernment.
A mob, frenzied by the action of
Mayor Margarito Romero, who sought
to support the officials in their demand
that the house of worship be closed.
caused what is believed to be the
first bloodshed as the result OF the
federal governments closing OF
churches.
Brought to the attention Of Gen.
Matias Ramos, chief of military oper-
ations in this state, the riot was
uuelled by several troops Of soldiers
but only after it had threatened to ge-
out of hand.
AS soon as calm had been restored
bodies of the dead-including those o.
the mayor. Congressman Francisco
Torres Maldonado. and friend, An
tonic Ortega--and the wounded. were
gathered together. Ortega wae said tC
have been a saloonkeeper here.

there are forceful manifestations by
people of all classes against what
they term the persecution" Of the
church by the government.
Particular attention has been paid
to the effort to close the Sacret Heart
of Christ at Jalisquello. Word has
been dispatched to the palace Of the
governor of the state. in which enea'.
getic protests are made against SINH.
lar efforts.
that complete order and a continu.
ance Of peaceful worship in all the
temples Of the state Is assured by
the government. The priest who
caused the disturbance at Jalisquellc
asked pardon Of the government and
