BELIEVED VILLA IN
DESPERATE POSITION
DOUGLAS, March 25.—All
reports here indicate that Villa
111 a most precarious position
and is facing almost certain cap
ture or destruction. General Cal
les, military governor of Sonora
received a telegram this after
noon from General Enriquez,
military governor of Chihaithua,
stating that five columns of Car
ranza troops are closing in on the
bandit chiefian and his army near
Namiquipa and that with the aid
of the Americans it is believed
that he will be prevented front
escaping. Villa, according to a
dispatch from General Bartani,
the Carranza commander in the
field, made a stand against his
pursuers in the Santa Clara can
yon near Santa Gertrudes Thurs
day but was driven out, after los
ing a number of his men. The
report also says that Villa was
compelled to abandon over one
hundred head of horses, all- of
which were captured by the Car
anzists.

With almost ideal weather'
conditions prevailing along the1
entire course and tlie trails in ex
cellent shape, bred Ayer, scratch
.nan in tlie i\ecord handicap race, i
..mashed the record estaolished j
->ome years ago by Chas- John-!
son for the round trip to Solo
mon and return, 'lhe race was
i.'st and furious throughout and
,ne leaders maintained a pace
that seriously endangered the
. ecords to all points both going
and returning. Ayer was the
urst to leave Nome, crossing the
line at i p. m. Webb, with a
thirty minute handicap, followed
ten minutes later. Delezene with i
thirty-five minutes, followed
vv eoo, and was in turn followed
oy V mcent, the limit man, with
lorty-five minutes handicap. The
order was unchanged throughout.
Ayer arrived at Solomon at
3-39:27> having made the first
nail of the journey, thirty two
miles, in 2:39:27. Webb arrived
at 3 49, two hours and thirty
nine minutes out, Delezene cov
ered the course in 2:58 42, arriv
ing there at 4:18:42. Vincent
showed up at 4:39:30, making the
distance in 3:09:30. After a five
minute rest tne racers again
started. 1 he same grueling pace
was maintained throughout, the
return being made almost as rap
idly as the outgoing journey.
Leaving Solomon at 3:44:27
Ayer sped up the coast in two
hours and fifty three minutes, ar
riving in Nome at 6:38:033-5,
[five hours, thirty two minutes,
three seconds and three fifths af
ter leaving the starting line.
Webb, departed from Solomon at
3:54 and arrived at the journey’s
end at 6:59:40, completing the
course in 5:44:40 and winning
first place owing to his time
handicap- Delezene carried off
third honors, by making the run
in 6:12:51. Vincent, the fourth
man, returned at 8:32 having
done the course in 6:57. The pace
"set by Ayer throughout was re
markable as indicated by the av
erage of eleven and three fourths
miles per hour, something close
to a mile an hour more than his
I time in the last Solomon derby.
| As the old record was 5:47:24
3-5, Webb was also inside of the
j record by nearly three minutes.
Ayer shattered the old mark by
something over fifteen minutes.
The Webb team also proved itself
one of the speediest in the coun
try by hanging close to the leader
throughout losing only two min
utes during the trip. It is the
general opinion of the dog fans
that the record made by Ayer will
stand for many a long day as a
speed of nearly twelve miles per
hour in seldom maintained even
over shorter distances.
