AMERICAN KILLED
IN MEXICAN FIGHT
Business Partner Of G. 0. P.
National Committeeman Slain
CREAGER BELIEVED SAFE
Dead Man Is F. j. BetanZa, Personal
Friend OF Gales and One Of the
Most Influential Capitalists in

Washington, March UP)-Tho
state department was waiting today
for official advices on the reported
Mexican Staying Of F. j. Betanza on
a ranch in the state OF Vera Cruz.
The American ambassador will be
instructed to make representations
to the Mexican government for APP
prehension and punishment Of the
responsible.
The reported killing Of Betanza
associate of Republican National
mittecman Creagcr, it is be-
lioved may affect United States pub
lie, opinion regarding the Mexican
situation rather than Immediately
affecting diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries. In the
past, the Mexican government has
shown readiness 10 punish culprts,
it was said, and authorities here
assumed this would be true With the
Betanza case.
Break Seems Certain
IN the meantime an eventual
break between the United States and
Mexico appears inevitable, unless
the Gales government makes major
concessions 10 the state departments
demands. The department charges
Mexican alien land-oil laws are con-
tiscatory. and that Mexico supports
movements here and in Nicaragua
opposing United States foreign
policy.
Reports that the United States
has definitely decided to sever diplo-
can embargo on arms shipments to
Mexico are said to be premature.
But there is every Indication that
President Coolidge and his advisers
consider the situation grave.
While the president is moving
for eventualities.
No Thought of War
Officials denied today there is any
thought of war, but they did not
deny they arc considering lifting
the embargo as q last resort. Ac-

MINNESOTA TO HAVE EXPERIENCED SQUAD
IN WESTERN CONFERENCE TITLE FRACAS
Is Lettermen, IL Playing Third
Year of Varsity Football.
Will Be Back to Play Under
Leadership of Herb Joesting
championship Outlook Is
Good

Minneapolis, MIMI, Sept. 21.-R
Minnesota, the team that Mich
igan's great eleven managed to de-
feat by single point for the 1926
Western Conference championship,
will shoot an experienced and
weighty squad into the 1927 Big
Ten race.
Eighteen lettermen, II of them
playing their third year of varsity
football, will be back to play on the
Gopher squad under Captain Herb
Joesting, All-American fullback. And
Joesting whom no team, not even
Michigan, could stop last year, and
whose yardage for the season ran q
close second to that registered by
the stellar Red Grange, will again
be the pivot Of the Minnesota at
tack. Only four of the 1926 regulars
will be missing.
To the best prospects regarding
material that the Maroon and Gold
has seen since the best days Of DR..
Henry l.. Williams, is added the ad-
vantage of a well-balanced schedule.
The only doubtful factor in the rosy
outlook centers around the shift, the
basis Of all Minnesota plays, under
DR.. Clarence w. Spears, head coach
The shift under a new ruling will
be held to a one-second stop.

TUNNEY'S SHAPE
Is FINEST EVER

Lake Villa, Sept. 2l.- (AP) -
With Gene Tunney's training for the
title fray with Jack Dempsey IN
Soldier field thing Of the past, the
heavyweight champion, his entour-
age and the thinning ranks OF the
visiting experts settled in the deep
chairs of the Cedar Crest Country
club today to await the breaking Of
camp tomorrow.
The chill breezes whistling about
the clubhouse and the generally fall
like weather have produced a sltua-
ton that calls for constant rallying
of all hands before the big log fire
in the spacious living room. Here
the latest camp scandal" is dis
cussed, the fighting qualities Of the
two battlers taken apart and put to-
gether again, and the match itself
analyzed from all angles. Chief in
terest has centered on several prob
lens in higher mathematics. The
figures showed Tunney, with a guar
antee Of $l,OO0,00O, would receive
100000 a round or $33,333.33 a
minute, for his 10 rounds Of labor
against Dempsey-if the bout goes
the limit. Mathematical minds came
forth with the announcement that
Gene, at the 81 a day rate he re-
ceived as soldier during IS months
of service in the world war, would
be obliged to engage in 1,754 more
wars to earn the sum Tex Richard
will pay him for 80 minutes work
Thursday night.
Gene had only a long walk on the
program today before packing tt
leave early Thursday for Chicago
and the weighing ceremony at 3 p
M, before the Illinois boxing com
mission. Tunney, in the "fines
shape Of my career" expects to scale
1888 pounds for the title contest.
