MEXICAN CASE WILL HANG OVER UNTIL ELECTION

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. There will be no definite results of the present Mexican negotiations before election. Also there will be no breaking off In the parleys prior to Nov. 7. Consequently neither of the political parties Is to get any advantage, despite the fact that the Democrate had been hoping to "point with pride" to definite accomplishments and the Republicans had desired to "view with alarm" withdrawal of Pershing's expedition. Leaves Mexico City. Officials very frankly admitted today that while the Atlantic City negotiations were deadlocked, due to the constant pressing of the Carranza de-. mand for withdrawal of the American troops, a way was in Bight to continue the negotiations. Ambassador Designate Arredondo Shortly will be en route to Washington from Mexico City. He will be accompanied by General Juan Barragan, chief of staff of the Mexican army tinder Carranza. It is known that Barragan will be asked by the Mexican commission to attend the conferences and discuss the border situation and the Mexican plans for, the protection of American territory. This will be in line with the action of the American members of the commission in calling General Tasker H. Bliss, assistant chief of staff of the army, who detailed the advantages of the suggested American zone plan. General Barragan will speak as a military official. The Mexican commissioners, all civilians, have insisted that the problem was a military one nnd that the first chief, in demanding that Pershing be ordered out was adhering to a plain military rule.

RICHMOND AMD MUNCIE RACE FOB "V" HONORS

It is a race of giants. 1 ' " Starting next Monday morning, It lasts a week. It is not between horses, ocean liners, automobiles or armies, but between cities, Richmond and Muncie. Each is concentrating every force. The prize is first place in the State Y. M. C. A. membership campaign, October 5-14. At the start, Richmond will have the jump, with 1050 handicap points while Muncie only has 775 handicap points. Points will be awarded as follows: One point for every dollar paid in on October, November and December renewals; two points for every dollar paid in by new members. Each night bulletins from the state headquarters showing the exact standing in the race will be posted In the "Y" lobby. Standings of each of the teams working in the local campaign will also be posted. The membership committee feels DODGER STAFF LEADS RED SOX FOR AVERAGES BY FRANK C. MENKE. Sporting Editor of The International News Service. NEW YORK, Oct 5. The surprising fact that the Dodgers' hurlers outaverage those of the Red Sox is revealed in today's perusal of the pitching averages. Look at it from any angle that you wish and youH find that the three Dodger stars Pfeffer, Cheney and Marquard outrank in the percentage table the Ruth, Shore, Foster or Leonard combination of Boston. Also the five Dodger regulars Pfeffer, Marquard, Cheney, Smith and Coombs are pitching nine points beyond the grand average of Ruth, Shore, Foster, Leonard and Mays. Pfeffer Heads Squad. Ranking the pitchers in. the order of games won and lost, Pfeffer with .686 tops the entries from both squads. Marquard is a nose behind with .684, Ruth is third with .657, Shore fourth with .654 and Cheney fifth with .645. So, you see, the Dodgers, in addition to having the two best average moundmen, also have three in the first five. The chances are that three pitchers on each team will carry the defensive burden in the world series' battling. They will be Pfeffer, Marquard and Cheney for the Dodgers, with a grand pitching average of .672 against Ruth, Shore and Foster, or Leonard, with a grand pitching average of .648, or less if Leonard works instead of Fester. Both Squads Tied. . In the point of effectiveness the two squads figuring five men each are tied with an average yield f 5.2 hits per game. 'Of the entire group, Cheney has done the most consistent low hit pitching. He has permitted only 4.3 hits per game, against 4.8 for Marquard, who ia second, and 4.9 for Mays the low-hit pitcher for the Sox. In the matter of bases on balls, Ruth is the wildest of the lot. He has walk ed 116 men in forty-four games. Cheney, the wildest of the Dodgers pitchers, walked 107 men in forty games. The steadiest hurler of the group of ten was strange as it may seem the so-called "eccentric Mar quard. In thirty-six games he issued only thirty-eight passes. The next best record in the line of steadiness was turned in by Shore, who walked fortyseven men in thirty-eight games. Cheney, with 165 victims In forty games, leads in the matter of strike outs. Ruth also struck out 165 men in forty-eight games and Pfeffer with 127 fan credits in forty-two games, ranks fourth.
