Now and again baseball
moguls Zare guilty of waxing
over enthusiastic about pros
poets for their baseball darl-
ings of an approaching season,
and President Clark Griffith
is no exception.
we thought Griffith was biting
off a big order during a recent
tanning bee when he declared that
Babe Ruth couldn't break into the
Washington outfield and that the
Capital would boast as good an
outer garden as any team In base
bali during the 1929 season.
At the moment we had a mental
reservation that we'd hate. to have

Colonel Rupert to suddenly put
the "Bambino" on the market. but

the word bruited around the
campus today as the students
await the positive identity of
the new imperator of sports at
the Methodist institution.
1t is understood there are 10 APP
plicants for the position. but the
deans office refuses to hint their
names. However, the fact Is adj
mitted that Springston Is passing
out as athletic chieftain at Ameri-
can University.
Springston, a lawyer here, hasn't
the time to spare for his extra
duties at American University and
will resign. Indeed, he is partly
coaching the basketball team. more
than half of the actual work falling

GALES TELLS GIL
Foderals Have Rebels Pennod
Up in Trap With No Escape
Believed Possible

Mexico City, April 2o.-(R)-0en-
eral Plutarco Elias Gales notified
President Portes Gil today that the
stage was set for "annihilation" Of
the rebel west coast army with its
retreat northward cut Oft BY = burned
bridge IL miles north Of Navojoa,
Sonora.
Federal light horse, under General
Joventino Espinosa, undertook .
forced march last night which was
expected to place It In position for q
flank attack OH the revolters today
as the main federal army attacked
them at their front.
Escape Believed Impossible
Artillery was brought up during the
night, with the prospect that air.
planes would inflict heavy casualties
with q new supply Of 7S-pound de-
molition bombs. No escape was be-
lieved possible.
The shaping up Of the federal trap
with its possibilities OF bloodshed
even exceeding the action at La Re-
forma three weeks ago which General
Gales described rs "veritable
butchery"-came late yesterday and
last night after q complete turn Of
the tables in southern Sonora.
For some undetermined reason the
rebels. believed to number 5000 or
more. fled precipitately from Ma
siaca, where they were strongly en-
trenched yesterday. Navojoa. q for
mer stronghold to the north was later
evacuated. Federal troops were In
hot pursuit and were believed last
night to have occupied Navajoa,
after It's evacuation later yesterday
by the rebels.
In the meantime q cavalry con-
ttngent under General Tellechea had

force and burned q long bridge Is
kilometers north Of the city before
more than q few could escape. Re-
pairs to the bridge, 1t was said, could
not be affected before the federals
would have arrived In force for At
