CAMPBELL’S TEAM WIPES
FLOOR WITH HAASCH NINE
Seventeen to one is the score given
by Manager Harry Hoben as the re
suit of yesterday’s game between the
Campbell and Haasch nines on Lum
ber Park, formerly Bay View’ Park.
: The game is made doubly interesting
1 because of the fact that no one can
i i,ee all he ground*at one and the same
time and conjecture enters largely
1 into the matter. Last year the basc
| ball boys went to a lot of work level

SO tine that the Engineering Commis
sion decided to use the improved plot
j as a lumber yard. It has been hoped
for some time that the officials can
J see their way clear before the Fourth
of July to pick out some part of the
various miles of government property
in the neighborhood for the storing of
1 those sticks. It is a pity to see the
game spoiled. There were some good
individual plays yesterday and some
of the other kind.

AMERICANS FLEEING
WASHINGTON, June 18. — The army transports!
Sumner, Prairie and Hancock have been ordered to Veia
Cruz and Tampico to rescue the Americans who are now j
fleeing from Mexico and a pontoon equipment lias been'
rushed to El Paso to facilitate the crossing of the Rio |
Grande by the Americans in that part of Mexico. Secre-j
tary Baker has received reports that the raids made on J
Sail Inacio last Thursday were incited and precipitated
by the Carranza people and some of the raiders wounded
carried Carranza commissions. General Funston has now
been authorized to assume full command of our troops in
Mexico at the Namiquipa base. We have thirteen thou
sand soldiers there but they face an army under General |
Trevino which numbers about lifty thousand. It is ex
pected that Funston would seize the Mexican railroads at
the outbreak of hostilities to send reinforcements to Per
shing. It was learned that at nine last night Baker made
a request for a talk with the President and this creates the
belief that something serious had occurred in the relations
of the two countries.
MEXICANS KILLED
BROWNSVILLE, June 17.—Three Mexicans are re
ported killed in a clash which occurred between Mexican
raiders and American troops during a raid by the former
ten miles east of San Benito last night. There were no
American casualties.
ORDER MEXICANS RESIST
LAREDO, June 17. — Carranza troops in Neuvo
Laredo are reported to have received instructions to re
sist an attempt of the American forces to cross into
Mexico regardless of circumstances. The majority of the
raiders who escaped after the raid at San Inacio are re
ported to be concentrating near Nuevo Laredo.
BORDER EXCITED
COLUMBUS, June 17.—The border is excited by wild
rumors but the authorities have stated that there is no
confirmation of the report that Carranza threatened hos
tilities if the American troops moved in any direction but
towards the border.
