* Vaughn made a master stroke in the
double header with Fitzgerald ‘last
Wednesday when he twirled through
both gamés for Cordele, the second
of which went through eleven innings.
The further he went the more he seem
ed to sirengthen and after the first
three innings of the first game he al
lowed only four hits in seventeen in
nings. In the last game of eleven in
nings he only allowed one hit.
It's a pity that such billiant effort
on the part of Vaughn was not reward
d with a run by his teammates and
the game copped for Cordele. Howev
er, the Fitzgerald twirlers were going
good, too, and at the finish when the
game was called on account of dark
ness the score stood 0 and o.¢

In the game with Dawson Thursday
|Westbrook went on the mound for Cor
dele. He is one of the latest acqui
gitions to the club and it was his first
time on the firing line, which partially
accounts for his being batted freely.
From all accounts Wastbrook is to be
counted on. They all have their off
days. Wilson relieved him in the fifth
inning and surrendered only one hit
to the end.

and defeated Montezuma by a score
of 4 to 1. “Dick” Stevens, another old

score of 5 and 3. Better watch that

I Thrasher and L. Thrasher are still

While Fitzgerald has a fair pitching
staff, and there is no better second
sacker ir the league than Milligan;
he is as good a pitcher as he is a sec
ond baseman, and Fitzgerald might do
well to pitch him more often. He has
the stuff that wins. :

He is a good batsman, has as good a
wing as any man on the club and fields
like a fiend in the left. He just don’t

- We understand ‘that Wooten will
play with Cordele since the league di
rectors took the action they did in the
Montezuma meeting last week. He is
a corking good man, and it is to be
hoped that he will not feel disgruntled
over a matter that was necessary to
uphold the integrity of the league.
That was one of the first matters
agreed upon when the schedule was
adopted, that no club should hire a
man that another club had in its em
ploy. :

Davis went like wild fire twirling
for Dawson today and held Cordele to
a whitewash, surrendering only one

against Dawson’s one.

WILSON HAS RIGHT
TO DRAFT GUARDS
Washington, D. C., June 30.—The
senate {oday approved and sent to the
white house the conference report on
the Hay resolution authorizing the
president to draft into the federal ser
vice all national guardsmen taking
the prescribed oath.
Approval was voted by the house
last aight. As finally agreed upon the
resolution is stripped of both the house
provision for financial relief for de
pendents of guardsmen and the sen
ate amendment authorizing the release
of members of the guard having fami
lies without means of support, <
Transferring of guardsmen to the
federal service will make them avail
able for any service, like regulars, and
they will be taken over for the period
of the emergency: Any who fail to
teke the oath will retain their nation
al guard status and will be available
for border defense service. |
There is a flashing beacon on Rich
aardson rock; a wave-swept spot west
of the Santa Barbara islands, Califor
nia, which, without attention, will
flash its warnings every three seconds |
for seven months, or over 6,000,000
flashes, before it requires recharging
with gas.
NEGROES FACED DEATH
SMILING AND SINGING
Field Headquarters, (Via wireless to
Columbus, N. M.) June 29.—American
negro troopers faced almost certain
death at Carrizal with smiles on
#ttheir lips and they burst into song
once or twice as they fought their
grim fight against heavy odds. This
nwas the story told by Capt. Lewis S.
Morey, when he arrived at field head
quarters here.
“For 45 minutes the men fougl}t\
joking among themselves all the‘
while, even though they realized we
had been trapped and had little chance
of getting out alive,” he said.
Capt. Morey said that he had nev
er seen such valor as was displayed
by Captain Charles T. Boyd in leading
a handful of dismounted skirmishers
through the machine gun fire and in
to the ambush of death. He added
iltha.t it was not until their ammunition
'was exhausted that the troops were
finally cut to pieces, and he told of
the heroic death of Lieutenant Henry
R. Adair, of Portland, Oregon, in at
tempting to replenish it. Lieutenant
)Adalr died fighting his last words be
ing: “Go on, sergeant,” to a non-com
}missioned officer at his side, Captain
‘Morey said. The two were on their
way to the pack animals carrying the
!ammunition when they were inter
cepted pear a small irrigation ditch
by a detail of Mexicans. Lieutenant
'Adair has already been wounded and
‘had lost his pistol in the previous}
?fighting. but he had borrowed another
;and was fighting a hand-to-hand bat
‘tle when he was killed. He fell un
;conscious and was caught by the ne
gro sergeant as he slid toward the
‘ditch, which was filled deep with wa
‘ter. The sergeant held Adair in his
arms, his face above the water, until
he died. The wounded officer reviv
ed only long enough to whisper or
ders to leave him and finish the mis
sion.
Captain Morey was brought here by
iroops_of the 11th cavalry sent to res
pue Carrizal survivors after having led
a handful of starving, panting troop
ers forty miles over a sun-baked des
lert to relief. .
SPER CENT. DECLINE
IMPROVEMENT SHOWN HERE—
EXTESSIVE RAIN CAUSED DAM
AGE IN OTHER STATES.
{ New York, June 29.—Replies from
over 2,000 special correspondents of
the Journal of Commerce, bearing an
average date of June 23, give the per
centage condition of the cotton crop
as 78.6. This compares with 79.1 per
cent a month ago, or a decline of 0.5
per cent. A year ago, at this time,
condition was 79.7 per cent, while in
1914, the record crop year, it was 78.6
per cent, or the same as this year.
The ten-year average is 79.7 per cent.
Marked improvement occurred in
Georgia and South Carolina, where in
creases of 6 per cent. and 4.3 per
cent are shown respectively. States
showing substantial declines were:
North Carolina, 2.1 per cent; Alabama,
2.4 per cent; Mississippi, 3 per cent;
Louisiana, 1.8 per cent; Texas, 2.5 per
cent.; Tennessee, 3.7 per cent.; and
Oklahoma, 1.8 per cent. Weather con
ditions have been somewhat mixed,
but excessive rain has been the cause
of the deterioation. Insects have
not done much damage as yet, but
boll weevils are very generally re
ported as appearing in large numbers.

weeks late. Percentage conditions by

g\WILL PERMIT BODIES OF
| SOLDIERS TO BE REMOVED
Mexico City, June 29.—Minister of
War Obregon today instructed Gen.
Trevino, the Mexican commander at
Chihuahua, to inform Consul Garcia at
El Paso that no impediment would be
placed in the way of the American
authorities if they desired to remove
the hodies of the American trooper
killed at Carrizal to American terri
tory for burial.
The correspondent between Gen
eral Obregon and General Trevino
arose from a request of Gen. George
8e11.,, Jr., commander of American
troops at Kl Paso, that the Mexican
government deliver the bodies for bur
‘ial. Gen. Obregon informed Gen. Tre
mnino that the expense for the transfer
of the bedies to the Urited States must
be borne by the American government.

itenced to fifteen years in the peniten
tary, following htis conviction of volun

*ling E. M. Carden, his father-in-law,
has been denied a new trial by Judge
[W. E. Tiomas. Attorneys for the de
tendant will carry the case to court

asserted a day or two before the trial
that “I will sit there a week or break
Hiers’ neck, if I am drawn on the jury
that tries him.”

than the trial of Will Hiers. His ar

on the front porch of the Hiers home,
in the eastern portion of the county,
on the night of February 7.
