When General Pershing aband

started back to the border, the
Chinese colony in that section pack
ed their belongings onto wagons,

to kill all Chinese in Mexico and
General Pershing gave them per

Chinese were placed in an intern

made between representatives of the
United States immigration depart
ment, the Chinese government and

tonio. Here they were allotted to
the army camps and posts where
they do all classes of work for the
army and do it well.
Many of the Chinese are wealthy,
having owned stores and ranches in
Mexico. They have endowed a bed
in the American hospital at Neuilly,
France, gave what was characterized
as the largest chop suey party ever
held in Texas as a Red Cross bene

SCHEDULED BALL GAME
POSTPONED BY SHOWER
'
The baseball game scheduled be-,
tween teams representing the mar- ^
ried and single men of Nenana,
which was to have been commenced,
i
at half past two yesterday after-1
noon had to be abandoned, owing
to a heavy shower of rain and hail
which came down just before the,
game was commenced.
Much interest in the game was
evinced by the lovers of the game
in Nenana and many bets were also :
made on the outcome by staunch,
backers of the two teams. 1 he i
single men who had been badly de
feated some few days ago, were
determined to turn the tables on
the married men and a very lively
and hotly contested game was looked
forward to.
Mike Cooney, manager of-the base
ball team in Nenana, announces that
the game will probably be played
on Thursday evening provided the
ground dries up suficiently to per
mit play. A day or two of sunshine
j will, it is thought, put the ground
in first class shape for play,
