Incident Occurs at Shrine OF
Virgin Of Guadalupe in
Mexico City

Mexico City, Dec. 13.-R-An
attempt to explode q bomb dis
guised as q holy candle ,as made
at. the shrine Of the Virgin Of Qua
dalupe, as many worshippers made
their devotions on the annual ma
tional holiday devoted to her men,
ory:
die was discovered before it was
lighted. Police today were endelv-
oring to find . motive for the at
tempt.
More than 100000 persons, mostly
Indians, congregated during the day
at the shrine Of the Virgin, who, &C.
cording to tradition, appeared al
most four centuries ago. Many of
them had come from long distances.
Street Heavily Guar led
The streets leading to the shrine
were heavily guarded by police, but
there were no priests. For the Sec
ond time in history they were un-
able to conduct their offices at the
shrine because Of the religious re-
strictions. The pilgrims, however,
attempted no demonstrations
against the government.
Through the worshipping crowd
an unidentified man approached the
altar. He carried what seemed to
be ? large uplighted candle. He
handed this to . worshipper saying:
Nburn this for the Virgin"
The worshipper, noticing the un-
usual weight Of the candle, turned it
over to the police. It was q wax
covered bomb.
Indians Dance
As the worshippers assembled in
the church, Representative, of some
eight or 10 different Indian tribes
in tho fields nearby danced weird
dances inherited from their ances-
tors before the days of Cortez.
Around the church, as is the Gus
tom, were stationed variety Of car
nival amusements, ferris whee's,
merry-go-rounds and shooting gal
leries.

CINCINNATI
RED SOX HAVE
NO CHANGES:
With Ford Back at ShOrtStOp;
Hendricks Believes Pen.
nant Chances Good

Cincinnati, Jan. 25.--LR--The pen.
nant which they missed by narrow
margin last year is fluttering in the
eyes of the Cincinnati Red Sox in
1927. .i
With Horace Ford ready to start
the season at shortstop, Manager Jack
Hendricks believes the Reds have an
excellent opportunity to finish in
front this season. Ford was out for
the greater part Of the race last sum-
mer when the Reds ran second to st,
Louis. Had he been holding down
short when the season opened, Hen.
bricks believes the Reds would have
won the championship. The Reds had
the batting leadership of the league
last year and three Of the leading
hitters. Hendricks expects to open
the season with the same players that
placed the club in the runner-up posi-
ton last year.
No outstanding trades have been
negotiated outside Of the purchase Of
kolp, a pitcher bought from st. Paul
of the American Association. Enough
recruits have been added to bring the
Reds pitching roster up tn IA. With
Ford among the regulars, the inficld
is one Of the strongest in the league.
Pipp will be at first base; Critz, who
was voted the second most valuable
player in the National League, ut Sec
Ond and Dresser at third.
For the outficld the Reds have
Christensen, left field; Roush, center
and Walker right with Bressler and
Zitzman as reserves. Bressler
probably will play left field when a
lefthand pitcher is in the box for the
opposing team.
The pitching staff is conceded to
be strong with the lineup Of Luque,
the Cuban; Mays, submarine hurler;
Donohue, Jake May, Nehf and others.
Hargravc Behind the Bat
Eugene Bubbles" Hargravc will
catch the major portion of the games.
Val Picinich will be second string
catcher, with Clyde Sukcforth, who
was recalled from the minors, as third
man.
The Reds will train this spring
along the usual lines. They will go to
Orlando, Fla, on February 26, and
remain in the south six weeks. After
seven days practice, exhibition games
begin with the Cleveland Indians at
Orlando on March s.
