DETERMINATION OF REBELS QUESTION OF HOURS NOW
 STATES DISPATCH

MEXICO CITY, April 3, R- Trapped within the city of Jim- snez rebel troops under General Escobar are reported to be stead 5ly and desperately seeking a way sp retl eat to the north while pow erful federal forces continue to close in upon them. All bridges leading out of Jimenez have been burned and retreat by rail appear ed to be almost impossible.
 Federal planes bombed the rebels necessarily in a definite and clear cut victory during the last two d,rire which violent fighting for the city has been underway.
 The government, which hopes for a federal victory at Jimenez before the collapse of the rebel movement in Chihuahua, also looks for complete extermination of the rebels shortly. General Gales said it is only question of hours pefole the rebels are decisively de- feated.
 The rebel losses are placed at 500; the federal loss has not been announced. The rebel version ot the attack is lacking as telegraph Hines were out of commission but the last message yesterday reported the capture of 1000 federals and the destruction of plane. Fur ther victories were also reported by the rebels on the west, coast. Vic tories were likewise reported from the area by the federals.
 Government troops are said to be on the edgeg of Naco, Sonora, where a battle is anticipated. Fur ther federal air raids have been made. The insurgents have given assurance no more bombs will fall on the American side of the bor- der.

True enough, he scored a 70 in his first qualifying round and tiei Gene Romans for the medal with l45, but his approximate 75 yester- day. although a stroke better than Goodman's medal score. was below the Jones standard Single match play was the thing the medal tally didn't mean much. and but for q number Of breaks in his favor. th.

II, started so raggedly that he lost three successive holes. He was only one down at the turn after talliu; puts on the short seventh. and squared the match on the l2th ror the first and only time.
 Then the 14th: Jones fired two long shots to within easy striking distance of the green on this 55a yard layout while Goodman, in the rough from tho tee. was forced to play his second from under a trca. Bobby then fell short and into a trap on his third, barely exploded to the green and took while Goodman got down from the edge in two putts for his par ]. This furnished the deciding margin, for Goodman played the last four holes in par to resist all of Bobhy'S chal l"ng's. As a matter of fact. inches separated Goodman from settling the issue on the 17th green. On the last hole, Jones second shot rcboundod to the fairway from tree and he pitched woofuIIy short while Goodman shot boldly 10 the pin.

VETERAN YS. YOUTH
Francis Ouimet Meets Lawson lit tie of San Francisco in Third Round of Tourney.

Pebble Beach, Calf, Sept. (UP) -SiXte"n years ago, Francis Oumet, still in his teens, startled the world of golf by defeating the mighty Britons, Ted Ray and Harry Var don, for the open championship Of the United States. Today, Francis, veteran now as golfers go, was pittcd against another 19-year- old youngsters in the third round of the national amateur tournament- Lawson Little of San Francisco. A victory for the California boy, who is the son of an army officer and is studying for West Point, would be quite all upset, but there were many at Pebble Beach who believed that youth would be served, just as it was at Brooklyn in 1913.
 Little defeated two able golfers Wednesday including Johnny Good man, the Omaha boy who can have printed on his calling cards: "con- queror of Bobby Jones'" Heretofore, the San Francisco boys golf has not brought him national attention.

Again. it appears that the idea in the works, seeing that Hartford Is to have two teams In the circuit, seems to be that when the league has finished it's schedule, these two Hartford teams will battle it out for inc city championship in Hartford or somn other imaginary title and. at the same time. get all the gravy. This is the opinion of the local men.
 Apparently, the idea has taken root in other cities besides New Brit ain and Hartford. Merden will prob ably have team as will Waterbury. New Britain will. undoubtedly. be represented at the session tonight.
 As was generally predicted, ar rangcmonts have been made for the Holy Cross and Corbin Red SoX base ball teams to play a series of two out of three games starting next sunday. These two teams topped all others in the city title series which blew up last Tuesday night and it is rightful and just that the two be considered the leading mines for the cham pionship of New Britain
 Kensington and the Falcons will also meet Sunday aftrnoon in Ken sington ostensibly to settle the argu- met over the Labor day game when Eo1 list of players.
 However, it may be that the teams will continue 10 play out a series of two out of three games. This will de- pend on the showing Of the clubs next Sunday in Kensington.
 The Eddy-Glovor. post baseball team will meet South Manchester Saturday in South Manchester and a second game will be played the fol- lowing Saturday in this city.
 Nothing new has been heard re- garding the proposed meeting of the Fafnir and Holy Cross teams, cham pions respectively in the Industrial and City leagues. Both managers stand ready to have their teams meet in at least one game but the mat ter now awaits some starter.
