THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, JUNE 271914

ZACATECAS, Mex., June 27. General Villa is on his way to Aguaa, Calientes, following closely the troops he dispatched there after the remnant of General Barron's Federal forces who fled to that city after the capture of Zacatecas. Before leaving here Villa said: "I think the real fighting will be at Quertaro. I anticipate little resistance before we reach there, but we shall take that city and then the way to Mexico City wil be cleared. The shadow of the rope has already fallen across the neck of Huerta. the assassin." It Is now known that the cowardice of the Federal officers was largely responsible for Villa's quick victory here. Many fled as soon as they heard that Villa had arrived to direct the attack, and the Federal forces were disorganized, several companies fighting without any officers to direct them. Recruits are flocking to Villa's standard from every part of central Mexico more rapidly than he can arm and equip them.

Four Los Angeles policewomen from left to right Mrs. Frances Griffes, Mrs. Alathea Gilbert, Mrs. Ra chel D. Shatto, and Mrs. Nellie Tarbell. Is the policewoman a success? Chief of Police Peterson, of Oakland, after investigating the work of local policewomen, finds that this city can give a very decisive and enthusiastic answer to this in the affirmative. Here are some of the things a policewoman does: She goes into a dance hall where she has seen a girl who should not be there and over whom the law has authority and takes her home. They go through the city looking for the discouraged, the deluded, the incorrigible, and to each, according to her kind, is administered the proper treatment by these wise women of the police force who are the friends of the victims and the abandoned. The chief of police is so pleased w-ith the work that they have been doing that he has asked for an additional squad of policewomen.

Time and Federal League Money Break Down Famous Cub Machine

BY FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, June 27. The old Cub machine, once, the mightiest in baseball, has been broken, never again to be mended. Of the grand old gang that thrilled thousands with their wonderful team work in the old days, while working under the Cub standard only one still wears the Cub uniform, and he Frank Schulte is slipping fast, and seems due to be shunted off to the scrap heap ere the year is out. Chance, Tinker and Evers, that wonderful double play combination, is scattered in three different leagues, Chance managing the New York Yankees and Tinker is holding a like job for the Chicago Feds, while Evers is cavorting around the keystone sack lor the Boston Nationals. Miner Brown is scouting for the Feds, Jack Pfeister is somewhere in the low class minors, Overall is on the coast in semi-retirement, and Johnny Kling has quit the game for all time. Jimmy Scheckard is in the American Association. Artie Hofman is with the Feds and Jimmy Slagle and Steinfeldt have passed out of the game forever. Feds Beyond Repair. Nothing can save the Feds, in the opinion of Organized Baseball. Ban Johnson says they will be in the scrap heap before August 1. For your information it may be remarked that Ban was the very same person 'who said the Feds were a joke, that they wouldn't open the season, that they would blow up by June 1, and then by July l. And now comes Chris Mathewson, of the Giants, John McGraw, who bosses that outfit. Both arrive with remarks that the Feds are ready to turn up their toes. John says, in one COBB TO STICK SAYS TIGER HEAD DETROIT, June 27. President Xavin, of the Tigers, today reiterated his denial that Ty Cobb was going to jump to the Federal league. "All this talk about Cobb going over to the Federal league is piffle," said Navin. "He is more anxious than any one else to prove that the unfortunate at'air Saturday was a mistake of the head and not of the heart. To prove his loyalty to me this year he signed a two-year contract when he could have merely signed for one year and watched developments in the Federal league. STEAMER ASHORE BATAVIA, Java, June 27 The British steamer Kintuch, which was reported missing yesterday with 200 passengers on board, has reported that she had gone aground ne? Pari Island. All the passengers are safe, the message added. The Kintuch was thirty-six hours overdue when word was received from her. STEAMSHIP AGROUND SUPERIOR, Wis., June 27. The freight steamship Matapa, with a crew of twenty men, is going to pieces in a heavy sea which drove it ashort near here today. Life savers have put in an effort to save the crew. The Matapa is four hundred and thirty feet long and carries 6,971 tons. She was built at Lorain O.

; of his signed articles that "I would be

sorry to see Eddie Collins and some of the other stars jump to the Feds, for several reasons, but most of all because they will hurt themselves and cannot save the Feds." Now you see now it is, don't you? Even if Eddie Collins, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Honus Wagner, Clyde Milan, Walter Johnson and 75 other stars of the American and National leagues jump to the Feds the Feds will fail. Why? Well, because Ban Johnson, Garry Herrmann, Chris Mathewson, John McGraw and other Organized fellows say so. That's why. Herzog Loses Medal. Charlie Herzog, of the Beds, denies that he ever said that "there are at least four teams in the American league that can beat the Giants any day in the week." Too bad, Charlie, too bad. Quite a lot of people agreed with those sentiments, and were ready to slip you a medal for having spoken something that had weight to it. Now you don't get the medal. The Federal league promoters ought to be in jail on the charge of theft, according to the views of Organized Baseball. They've stolen the sentiment from baseball. Most of the fight clubs in and around this section are closed for the rest of the summer, which means that ati the puncning persons who didn't lay aside a portion of their winter winnings will have to go to work digging ditches to keep themselves in food and tobacco until harvest time comes again. Honus Wagner, now over 40 years of age, Is batting at a higher clip than when he was twenty. Which leads to the question: How much will he be batting at CO?

Young Richmond is preparing to blow up its savings with fireworks. One week from today occurs one of the two big days of the year. There is already ample warning in evenings of the nature of the day. Fireworks can be heard in various parts of the city usually about dusk when boys take the fruits of the investment of their pennies, and blow up their savings of weeks in a few hours of noise and powder burns. E. M. Haas and others are still warking on the program for Morton park. This work is being done more systematically than formerly as there are fewer details to deal with and more time to complete the work. Some fine prizes will be given, entirely in the merchandise line. Stores of Richmond are donating plentifully and giving suitable articles, almost all of them useful. Charles Parker has added to his program a fifty-yard swim for ladies in which there are now four entries. The race was placed on the program at the request of the entrants and it will be a spirited one. Entries for the ladies race and all other acquatic contests may. be sent or telephoned to Mr. Parker. Although the motor boat races on opening day failed to materialize, there will be no less than four boats entered on the Fourth and probably there will be six entries. Canoe and row boat entries will be coming in during the next two or three days. Entries for boat races of all kinds

may be left with Tomlinson or Gott- j shal at the row boat landing and refreshment stand. I SPOTTING CARS ORDER SUSPENDED BY B. & O. WASHINGTON. June 27. A phase of the five per cent advance rates was decided today when tariffs by the Baltimore & Ohio and about fifty other railroads, imposing charges for switching cars to and from points located on private sidings and industrial plant tracks, were suspended from July 1 to October 29, by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The suspended practice is that known as "spotting" cars. ARREST HIRSHFIELD ON SERIOUS CHARGE One of the most revolting cases brought to the attention of the city court in years was related very briefly today when Frank Hirshfield, 434 South Tenth street, married and the father of four children, was arraigned on a charge of public indecency. Mayor Robbins, after Hirshfield, with hanging head, had pleaded guilty, stated that he would postpone judgment until he had given the case thorough investigation. A brother of the man was at the court and said that in his belief Hirshfield was mentally deranged, an opinion shared by others familiar with the man's record. It is possible that the mayor will have physicians make an examination of Hirshfield, in which event he will take no action in the case until he has received their report. The champion long-time smoker is Herr Henz, of Sachsensansen, Germany. He established the record of two hours, thirty-six minutes and twelve seconds for smoking a cigar without relighting it winning form two hundred contestants.
