At a meeting of the league last j evening, the line-up of games for the i first half of the playing season of j 1914 was arranged to the satisfaction of everybody. Hut not without diffi- I culty. Senator Frank Baum stood out for what he believed to be a more j equitable divishin of the games from a financial standpoint, and the other -. three managers declared for a division favoring the towns, rather than the crowds. This trouble arises every time They try to frame a schedule, for the disparity in sizes between Tempo, ! Mesa and Phoenix makes it hard to j split things evenly. Baum said he felt like a Republi can in the Texas legislature, but as everybody seemed to want it that way he was for it too. Now that the league has progressed thus far, remains nothing but the prospect of building up the teams. Players are flocking in from all sides. H. H. Kling.

This will give the business men and clerks ample time to set- the game and it is believed will not discommode the patrons of the stores to any great extent since it is hoped that they will be present at the game also. In other words the plans are now for the town and surrounding country to be at the ball park when the big game starts.

Goodman Leaving "Doe" Goodman decided yesterday to leave for Keokuk, Iowa on April Pith to tiy out for the Iowa Slate Clash With Border Patrol I EAGLE PASS. March 23. Mexican federal soldiers, who attempted to pur- ! sue the defeated rebel forces who fled to the United States in safety, were ; most sharply resisted yesterday by the United States cavalry of the border patrol at McKees Crossing above Del Rio. When three horses held by Amer ican trooiers were shot down, the Amer icans returned fire across the Rio Grande. After an exchange of shots, the Mexicans withdrew, taking their dead and wounded. The number of fatalities is not known. No Americans were hurt. All available cavalry of the border patrol was ordered to Del Rio. Persistent firing by the federals at rebels fleeing in American territory, precipitated the conflict. According to official reports. Captain Winterburn reported that his signals to the federals to cease firing were disregarded. One troop, with a machine gun pla toon left Eagle Pass for Del Rio to day. Another engagement between Mexican federals and rebels is expected tomorrow in the same territory. Cap tain Winterburn said the continued fir ing by the federals, put his own men in danger, so he stopped signalling and ordered thp Americans, consisting of fifteen troopers, to fire. A sharp fusil lade followed, lasted about fifteen min utes. Of 45 rebels, only 27 reached the Texas hank. Several were killed in the water, their bodies floating down stream. A force of about seven hun dred rebels is reported advancing from the southwest to I-as Vacas, where a federal command is stationed. A rebel company also is moving down the river. I notified the sheriffs office of finding the explosive. Deputy Sheriffs Roberts j and Sullivan found the dynamite sticks I and the bomb and becoming suspicious of the eagerness of their informants, i held Killman as a witness. Investiga tion showed that Clark. Patton and Hogle for a time boarded in the neigh - borhaad but had left a few days previ ously. Killman was asked to tell his story to Deputy Prosecutor Wright and on his information, Sullivan was ordered to arrest Semple. "The charge against the men is con spiracy," said Wright. "Killman was frank in his story and promised plead guilty. Semple, I understand, feigns ignorance of the plot and will fight the case. I am afraid the two other men have left the state." o JERSEY CATTLE Sam V.

Brown last night designated A. 51. Tebben of Phoenix for the Pirates' game at Tempe and Jack Arnold of Tempe to umpire the Mesa Solon game here. Abe Lukin, manager of the Rears wired last night for Catcher N'utt, the heavy sticking backstop of last vear's Tempe team. Manager Baum of the Senators has lined out some of the fastest men in the city, and is j getting two or three new men from ! abroad. Lukin already has one of the' fastest aggregations in the league. There remains much to be done to build up the Pirates. It is doubtful if any of those now playing on the Buccaneers can qualify with the fast men on the other three teams. For a game or two, the league will have to mark time, until McKinley can sign on some of the many huskies who are floating around town waiting for a chance. Among those who have ap plied for places is Old Busted Mitt Bill Barngrover. Bill is not all name, but is mostly al pep. He is swinging a good right arm this season, he says, and wil play with any team that will have him. Coast players hearing of the formation of the league are com ing in regularly, about one a day. The season will be divided into two parts. Vp to July 12 will be one half and until November 29 the second half. Schedules will be provided for the second half, as for the first.

This report came from the constitutionalists' of ficials at Matamoras, opposite here. There is no telegraph or telephone communication with the battle site, and despatches are traveling by courier for a long distance before reaching the first available wires. General Guardiora's federal army was defeated near Guerrero and the town captured, according to dis patches.

It is reported that Villa captured three hundred prisoners and General Velasco brought a large number of federal troops out of Torreon it is said, Gomez Palacio being the main point of contention. Capture Water Tank EL VERJEL, March 23. Rebels captured the water tank on the Cerro Do La Pilar soap factory, after bloody fighting in the streets of Gomez Pa lacio. The rebels abandoned it, and Villa says the city now is practically his. If the conviction were forced upon me that the social and psychological climate of our country were really favorable to the spread and increase of hurry, as the physical climate of Australasia is to the spread and in crease of the British rabbit, then should I also be convinced that Eng land was no place for me. As it is, I wait patiently for the horrid thing to pass, and in optimistic mood con gratulate myself that already I see some faint indications of its passing. Hurry is a disease, an infectious disease: but - it is also something more than a disease: it is a fashion. Some men hurry because they cannot help themselves, they are forced to it by untoward circumstances or their own morbid natures. But others, and I am inclined to believe the great majority, are mere imitators. These hurry, if the paradoxical expression may be pardoned, deliberately. They like to appear as poisons immediately Ik fore whom is always something of importance; as persons whose time is verv precious. That is a conclu sion which you simply cannot resist if you stand and meditate for a mo ment or two upon the platform o' one ot the great London termini, at i an hour when the departing trains I are carrying their human loads to the suburbs. You will lind meditation difficult in that environment, but, still, it can be done. They are all in a rlesperate hurry, these home-bound travellers. They struggle barbarously with one another to get first past the barrier; and to get first into the trains they struggle with one another with a ferocity which well-bred barbarians would disdain. One would think they were escaping from a plague-stricken city or from a theater on fire. They jostle the unhappy porters, they hus tle the bewildered guards, they bump up against Me. They lose all trace oi human dignity, they become ob livions of common politeness. And to what end? Just to arrive at Peckham or at I pper Tooting, say. a quarter of an hour eailier than they woukl do were they to ti.ke it leisurely and catch the next train or the next train but one! One knows quite well, as well as one knows anything, that for at least per cent of the hurrying crowd no such inducements have any existence whatever. These hurry either be cause they have caught the disease or just in senseless imitation.

Reports re ceived by the officials of the provision al government would seem to indicate that at least seventy per cent of the officers of the infantry battalions of regulars, now quartered in Ulster, would refuse to serve in a campaign against the province. Major General Macready arrived for the purpose of explaining the situation as to prevent the resignation of the oflicers. He informed them that nearly all the oflicers of the Norfolk regi ment, quartered at Hollywook Bar racks, four miles from Belfast, ex pressed their readiness to resign rather than to accept orders to take part in the anti-Ulster campaign. LONG SENTENCE FOLLOWS PLEA r ASSOCIATED PltKSS DISPATCH 1 VANCOUVER, March 23. In spito of his plea of innocence and for clemency based on the fact that he had a wife and four children, Joe Angelo, an organizer or the L'nited Mine Workers, was sentenced to four years for his part in the Nanaimo strike tiots last August. Angelo was the principal figure in the march of the strikers from the jail to the court. There were twenty-four prisoners in line. Those sen tenced will pay penalties of from one to four years. The others were released. WANT BLANKETS, NOT MONEY John Fox. the author, was recently discussing Longfellow and during his conversation remarked that the house where the noted poet was born in Portland, Me., is now tenanted by peo ple of the poorer classes. Mostly Irish are located in that vicinity. Some time ago a teacher in Portland was giving a lesson on the life of the poet. Finally, after the usual time devoted to instruction, she asked: , "Where was Longfellow born?" A small, red-haired youth waved his hand vigorously, with an unmistakable desire to impart knowledge. "Well, James, you may tell us," said the teacher. "In Jimmy McFaddey's bedroom." came the quick reply. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH LOS ANGELES, March 23. The problem of the unemployed here has become one of blankets, since the "army" made this plea to the city council, instead of the proposed de mand for $lr.00 cash. The police de clared that if a cash demand were made, the unemployed would be of fered jobs and would be chased out if they did not accept the work. :-o WHAT CHURCHES LACK. Probably the reason that the I. W. W. leaders choose to storm churches rather than saloons is that the people who run the churches never have been drilled in the skillful swinging of a bungstarter. New York Press. o STORM CENTER. The Tucson, Fhoenix and Tidewater Railway Company, failed to obtain a franchise from the City Council last evening for a right of way along Jack son Street as desired, and additional time was granted the committee, which was appointed to draft a method of approach to the center of Phoenix for the company to come to a settlement with the company's representatives. The matter will be made the special order of business for the coming Mon day night. Another meeting of the Board of Trade on Wednesday also will be held. For the first time in many months the Council Chamber was filled and to overflowing with citizens interested in the coming of the new railroad. Since the matter was before the council before, and the committees of properly owners and Board of Trade, have been working on the matter, there has been all sorts of opinion expressed as to the right of way lor the company. Last night it developed into a contest. A petition was presented to the council asking that no right of way be granted on Madison Street and that no com pany be allowed to come that fa, north in the center of town for its railroad terminals. Shortly after this a message was read from W. A. Drake of the Santa Fe offering a division of the right of way up Jackson Street, which is now occupied by a track of the Santa Fe. Shortly after this Su perintendent Scott of the Arizona East ern, representing Epes Randolp made the same proposition for the Southern Pacific as regards the tracks of that company. Judge Hawkins of Prescott and Judge Kibbey for the company, explained that any sort of arrangement like that would destroy the individuality of the com pany and is not what is wanted by the company. It was explained time and again in answer to the charge, that the coming of the railroad through the section of the city it proposed, would destroy many little homes that had been put there at large sacrifice, that the law covers these with ample pro tection and that if damages are done by the company the company expects to pay. However, Judge Dunlap during the evening doubted that the railroad is a tidewater road or a main line, while Brady O'Neill asked that the city not act hastily in the matter as the fran chise wherever granted, is valuable and ought to be a source of revenue to the city. There were many speeches during the evening. G. H. N. Luhrs presented the report of the committee with the peti tion, while Dr. Ancil Martin of the Board of Trade asked for more time for a consideration of the proposition of getting together. C. M. Sturges advo cated letting the company come in over Jackson street, but opposed Madi son street. H. W. Ryder proposed that a franchise be granted the Santa Fe and the new company for a joint right of way on Jackson Street, as the Santa Fe does not have such a right now. The talking all ended where it had begun except the petitions were with drawn for more signatures and the city engineer was instructed to procure a map of the city for the use of the com mittee. O. T. Richey in behalf of Mad ison and Jackson Street property own ers pleaded for more time. Judge Hawkins asked for a tangible proposi tion not a visionary one, wnile Judge Kibbey remarked that the company wanted to build to Phoenix and will, if given an opportunity.
