Echols had nine horses in his

of Indians frequently passed
through this section, Echols told
his sen, but there were no settle

In July, 1874, Echols was trans

east of Coyote Wells. IT was
near Clear Lake in the Silsbee
district.

often remarked that he would not

He stayed at Indian Wells SIX
months and then was transferred
to Cooks Wells, in Mexico at a
point 20 miles from Yuma. After
Is months as agent there, he was

The situation was the most Sc
rious in the five years life OF
the Spanish Republic, uncensored
information made it plain. 1t was
more serious than was the 1884
revolt OF workers because the coun-
try is more seriously divided.
Information reaching here
through the government censor
ship, and by means of/the uncen-
sored messages sent on the air
waves by the rebels, conflicted.
It was indicated, however, that
the next "a hours will see the
turn-a victory for the left wing
government or a dictatorship un-
der the rebel generals.
The rebel generals, it was re-
vealed, wish to proclaim such
dictatorship. This might take the
form of that of the late Primo de
Rivera, which preceded the fall
of King Alfonso, but it would be
modernized, republicanized one, 1t
was indicated.
Late news from Madrid on the
new cabinet showed the govern
ment was making a supreme effort
to dominate the situation by using
high army leaders who are loyal
to wreck the rebel movement. The
surrender of the rebel chleftalns
in Catalonia, it was suggested,
might lead others to submit.
The situation which remained
unknown was the attitude of the
left wing masses as whole, espe-
cially in the big cities. The dan
ger of a clash between the workers
and the army was perhaps the
most serious potentially Of all.

TIGHT GAMES MARK
BASE BALL STRIFE
Peoples Drug, Miller Furniture

Exc Out Victories.

TIGHT play marked competition In
l. three of the city's major sandlot
leagues yesterday as one run separated
winners and losers in two instances,
while another team broke an eighth
inning tie by scoring twice in the ninth.
In probably the best game OF the
day Peoples Drug Store nosed out
Pepco, 80, in a National Capital
League fray both teams scoring twice
in the third and Peoples pushing over
the winning marker two innings later.
A bit more thrilling, however, was
Miller Furniture's 81 victory over
Coffey Sales in the Industrial loop, the
eventual winners being forced to come
from behind twice. Coffey got of to a
three-run lead in the second, only to
have Miller tie it up in its half Of the
inning. After the furniture lads had
gone ahead at 4-3. Coffey scored twice
in the fifth, but Miller took the lead
with a three-run splurge in the seventh,
never to be headed again. F. Wahler
led the victors' attack with double
and two singles.
Agriculture Green Belts added an
other triumph when they scored pair
of tallies in the ninth to trip Resettle-
ment, 4-2, in an Industrial League
game. Babe Clapper was on the mound
for the Green Belts and limited Re-
settlement to eight scattered hits.

board Of strategy cannot be reconciled
to the belief that McCarthy'S current
cast is as dangerous as the 1927 muir
derers' row" of Combs, Meusel, Ruth,
Gehrig and Lazzeri. Neither do they
doubt that Chicago has the best
pitching staff in the American League.
From Ted Lyons, Vernon Kennedy,
Sugar Cain and Johnny WhiteheaH
the Sox think they are able to throw
as intelligent and expert a gang of
hurlers in the league at New York
and sit back to watch the theory ex-
pressed by Sewell work out.
1t may be that Luke hit the
nail on the head. Certainly the
pitching in the American
League is far below the stand
ard of other years.
The Yanks' own staff must be aub-
normal, else a club with that kind Of
hitting would win more Of the games
in which an opposing pitcher keeps
his ears from being pinned back. And
also lending weight to the Sewell the
ory is the fact that only the White
Sox have been able to hold New York
even for the season in games. They've
divided IA contests.
Chicago, anyway, is interested in
the formula for beating Joe McCar-
thy's band. Out here they think the
White Sox are hot stuff but are in
clined to believe the Cubs are better
bets to get into the world series.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HICAGO, July ga bunch OF
the boys we're punching the
bag in this town today and
~ the talk naturally drifted to
what happens after the Nationals
leave the town. The reason 1t is natu-
raj Is because the Yankees invade
Chicago tomorrow, most of the seats
for the series are sold, and everybody
in the Windy City is all hot and both
cred over the prospect of seeing the
White Sox in the roles of cortenders.
You see, Jimmy Dykes team is con-
sidered a threat to the Yanks in the
home town now.
During the course Of the bag punch
ing. Luke Sewell dropped a comment
that might be food for thought Some
body was saying that New York
couldn't be overtaken. Luke. who is
credited with large part of the Sox
success. was. inclined to think diff
ferently.
Look up the records" in
vited Sewell, land you'll dis
cover that invariably a pitcher
who turns in a good game
against the Yanks wins"
What Sewell means is little more
complicated than it sounds, popping
out just like that OF course, if a
pitcher stops the other sides hitters
he figures to win. But what Luke
means is that Col. Ruppert's 1886 muir
derers' row." gang of ball-buSters
who actually are ahead at this stage
Of the famous 1927 row" in compil-
ing batting records, does its whole
sale numbering when the opposition S
pitching is pretty objectionable. He
means that New York isn't SO tough
to stop when guy stands in the box
and works a fair-to- -middlin' game,
because the hitters are not as good
as their averages indicate and the
Yanks' pitching is no better than
anybody's else, except Rog Hornsby S
and Connie Mack's.
Review Bears 1t Out.
TAKING Luke's invitation, you
glance back over the campaign
so far and find a ~ell-pitched game
Is quite likely to beat the Yanks a
majority Of the time. A bunch of
ham hurlers give their club no chance
to whip New York because the Rup-
perts can tee of for more distance
than hitters Of any other club. Didn't
the Yanks, incidentally. set their big
1886 batting records against the Ath-
letics?

season, you readily remember
