H. S. ELEVEN IN

HARD PRACTICE FOR NEWCASTLE

Local Eleven Works Long Hours to Prepare for Henry County Boys Saturday. With the playing strength of the R. H. S. football squad equally divided between the varsity and scrubs, Coach

Rock put the two teams through a ftlff workout at the playgrounds, Wednesday evening. Rock kept the boys working at top speed by his barks of advice and criticism. Two new plays and formations were tried out, and the squad was working them smoothly when Coach Rock gave the Order to quit. Newcastle has one of the strongest teams that has ever represented the Henry County school and Coach Rock believes that Richmond will have a hard Job In trimming this eleven. In an endeavor to strengthen the end positions, of the varsity, the ceach made several changes. Zuttermeister, who played guard against Hamilton last Saturday, showed well at end. Clarke played a good game at end against Hamilton and as he has weight and height, may enter the game against Newcastle there. Lohnian, playing on the second team, impressed Rock, and he may be shifted to guard cn the first team in the place of Zuttemeister, the latter player to play end. Passes Working Smoothly.

Although the team is heavier than the average High School eleven, forward passing and open formation plays will form an, important part of the R. H. S. offensive. Two of the backs can make accurate spiral passes for great distances and the rest of the eleven show good form in getting down to receive them. Wednesday's practice will be duplicated Thursday afternoon, only more severely. All of the players are in good physical condition. A man named Williams, touted a great football player and who is supposed to have played on a Cincinnati high school team, was supposed to practice, Wednesday, did not show up.

SINGLE G IS NOT DONE, SAYS DRIVER OF FAMOUS HORSE

There has been quite a lot of talk among horsemen regarding the poor

Robert Powell was elected captain of! form that Single G, l:59i, owned by

the Garfield varsity baseball team. The

players for the varsity will be picked from the Garfield -Assembly Room League, by Coach Lyboult. Games will probably be scheduled with the High School Freshmen, St. Mary's and teams from the grade of tho city. .Wednesday afternoon, at the Gar-

Will Barefoot, of Cambridge City,

showed this fall, and some were inclined to believe that the sensational pacer had passed his best days, and was no longer fit to tackle the best of the gait, says a race expert in the Indianapolis News. With this notion, Ed Allen, who has

had him in charge since September

door bp.l! seen this season, was played

mg the stallion s sensational race at

Toledo, in July, when he established a new three-heat record, Allen was not able to drive him in his races, as it was only a day or two after that great race that the western reinsman was thrown from behind another horse and suffered a broken arm. The break was of more than ordinary consequences, and it was not until September 24 that the injury had

repaired sufficiently to allow Allen to get up behind the horse again. Then it was at Allentown, Pa., where a special race for $10,000 had been arranged between Single G, Adioo Guy, Directum J and Lillian T. The latter two, through shipping trouble, were not on hand on the scheduled day, and Single G and Adioo Guy started. The course a half mile one was muddy from much rain, so the chances for fast time were killed absolutely, but in the event, which the Indiana pacer won, there were some sparkling fractions, nevertheless. The final quarter of each of the three miles was always better than thirty seconds, and that on a muddy half mile track, is sensational beyond question. Showed Old-Time Whiz. Allen avers that Single G showed "him all of his old-time whiz down at Ailentown, and believes he will come back in 1920 with more than a fair chance to stay at the top of the list of fast pacers. "He was so full of speed, that he could fairly fly," said Allen, "and when they say he is all in, there is

; a chance for an argument with me.

And I am not criticizing any of the other drivers who had this year while I was out of the sulkey. This horse is likely in any season to get bad gaited as he did this year, but I am confident he Is not through." Single G was shipped back from Allentown to Indianapolis, and will be wintered in the barn of Allen brothers. After his good race at the Pennsyl-

Monger Makes Record In Spring High Jump Howard Monger, clearing the bamboo rod at 6 feet 4 inches, broke the local Y. M. C. A. running spring-board high jump record at the regular session of the senior class. With 30 members, the senior class at the "Y" which meets every Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 8:20 o'clock, has a record membership

Last year, owing to the war, only 15 seniors were in the clas3. In the present class over half are ex-service men. The boys' classes at the "Y" have smaller enrollments than in former years. This is attributed to the advanced physical training being taught in the schools of the city. 'Plans are under way for the forming of an indeor baseball league at the "Y" for the coming winter. Teams from the various factories in the city are to make up the league. Last year, the Simplex team won the indoor championship. A basketball league of the factories may also be formed. Two of the largest factories have teams that are i anxious for an encounter.

BUSHER IN AUGUST, IS WORLD'S SERIES HERO IN OCTOBER

Chicago Bettors Here Nearly Broke Even Though the Sox Lost Series Richmond fans who backed the White Sox as world's series winners, have paid off their debts and declared the Reds to be the better ball club. But the hot stove league is just geting into full swing. Ten to 7 were the odds offered on Chicago in other parts of the country, but the betting in Richmond was nearly always even. Ten to 8 were the greatest odds offered. When the series got under way, the betting staid even until about the fourth or fifth game. After that Cincinnati became heavy favorites. Chicago bettors here, when their favorites dropped the first game, doubled up on the second. Losing on the second they tripled their original bet for the third. Winning on the 3d they went back to small stakes, and lost on the 4th and 5th games. Doubling up on the 6th, they made a killing, as odds were on Cincinnati. They also won in the 7th game but got cleaned out when they bet heavily on the 8th and last.

RACE REDUCTION LENGTH I

INTEREST SCHOOLS OF WEST

NEW YORK, Oct. 16. Reduction of the length of the varsity race in the annual intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie from 4 miles to 3, announced last night by the board of Stewards, means that Western colleges may match oars with eastern collegians rowing authorities said here today.

Engles Work by Arcligkt to Prepare for Portland

Reserves was held beneath the arc lights in South Tenth street park, Wednesday evening. The team is working hard in preparation for Sunday's game as it hopes to make a good showing against Portland. Another practice will be held in South Tenth btreet park, Friday evening and Captain Sheridan hopes to ahve enough men out to form 2 complete teams.

Richmond Rooters May Travel in Special Car If the demand Is sufficient, a special Pennsylvania car will be chartered for Richmond rooters to take them to Newcastle next Saturday, when the local Hi representatives meet the Henry County men on the football field. Pupils in the local high school were Mgning up for the proposed' trip Thursday, and considerable interest was evident. Another pep session for the football battle on Saturday will feature the chapel exercises Friday morning. FOUR EVENTS IN GRAND CIRCUIT TODAY

MIAMI CENTER OUT OF GAME SATURDAY

ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 16. Four events instead of the three on previous Grand Circuit cards attracted greater attention to today's races at the Lakewood track here. The added attraction was a 2:10 pace for Southern horses and drew seven entries. The regular events scheduled were a trot open to all two-year-olds, a 2:07 trot and a 2:07 pace. Clear weather gave promise of a fast track.

OXFORD, O., Oct. 16 "Red" Hale, Miami University's football center, who was injured in the Miami-Case game in Cleveland Saturday, will be unable to participate in next Saturday's game with Ohio Wesleyan University upon the occasion of Miami's annual home-coming. Hale's place at center is to be taken by Henry Orth, of Chillicothe. All other Miami players, though they still exhibit scratches and bruises received at Cleveland, are in good shape, and are putting in their best efforts in preparation for the battle with Wesleyan. Last night's scrimmage was one of the best the Miami team has had this season. It is not believed that Coach Little will inake any notable change in the line-up of his team for next Saturday, though there may hp an unimportant shift in

the line. There Is a strong feeling that Miami will win over Wesleyan, but there is an utter lack of cockiness among the players. They are, of course, much pleased over their defeat of Case, but that victory has not in the least turned their heads. Every man on the team realizes that Miami still has a very difficult schedule to play out, including as it does games with Oberlin, Mt. Union, DeniEon, Ohio Northern and Cincinnati.

Castro, Once Dictator, Ending Life in Poverty (Kansas City Star) After a stormy political career and a life marked by riches, Don Cipriano Castro, one time president of Venezuela, ia reported to be practically penniless at his home in Porto Rico. It is only within the last few years that President Castro has become almost lost to the public eye. President Castro started his politi

cal career as a senator in Venezuela, i

In 1892 he resigned the office and seven years later with a band of out- j laws started a revolution against Pres-1 ident Anclf ade. October 24, 1S99, he ! was proclaimed provisional president i of Venezuela. Ii his rule he became

a dictator, imprisoning his enemies and extorting heavy taxes. He monopolized in his own name the light plants, railways, flour mills and other industries of the country. After a few years he became entangled in serious disputes with Eng

land and France over debts and with the United States over the treatment of American citizens. In 1908 he left for France, presumably for a surgical operation. It is reported he took with him several million dollars. Two months after his departure he was exiled and foreign countries assisted Venezuela in keeping him out of the

country. In 1913, proclaiming himself the "Napoleon of South America," he returned to start a revolt against President Gomez. He landed at Coro early in August, but his attempt to overthrow the existing government was thwarted. He has been practically friendless since that time. He was deported from England, France and Spain and in July, 1916, was refused admittance to the United States. Later he was admitted for a few days and then deported.

( Grant Allen In Clout's Calendar). The original parents of all our cereals were grasses of one kind or other, often belonging to remotely different groups, but almost all indigenous inhabitants of the Central Asian and Mediterranean regions.

The pedigree of wheat, the most important of all our cereals, is somewhat obscure. It has Taried to a greater degree from its humble original than any other known artificial plant. Fortunately, we are still able to recover the steps by which it has been developed from what might at first appear

to be a very unlikely and ill-endowed ancestor indeed. The English couch-grass, which often proves such a troublesome weed in our own country, is represented around the Mediterranean shores by allied genius of annual plants known as goat-grass; and one of these weedy goat-grasses has now been shown with great probability to be the wild form of our cultivated wheat. It is a small dwarfish grass, with very pretty seeds, and not nearly so full a spike as the cereals of agriculture. When man first, reappears in northern Europe, after the great icesheets once more cleared away from the face

of the land, we find him growing and using a rude form of wheat from the earliest moment of his re-establishment in the desolated plains. Among the pile-villages of the Swiss lakes, which were inhabited by men of the newer stone age, we find side by side

with the polished film axes and the ;

handmade pottery of the period several cereals raised by the lake dwell

ers on the neignboring mainland.

The charred seeds and waterlogged1,

shocks disinterred from the ruins oi the villages include millet, barley and several other grains; but by far thej commonest among them is a peculiar, small form of wheat, which has been

named scientifically after the ancient folk by whom it was used. Not First Grain. This lake-wheat, however, though it

I dates back to the very beginning of

the period in Europe, can not be con-.

sldered as the first variety developed j from the primitive goat-grass by the earliest cultivators; it Is so superior! in character to the wild stock that it ' must already have undergone a long course of tillage and selection in more genial climates, and must have been brought back to Europe in a compar-j atively perfect condition by the short: dark people who settled our continent immediately after the termination cf the -glacial era. j From the neolithic time forward, . the improved seed has continued to , prow blpger and bigger, both in the

size of the shocks and in the girth of

the individual grains, until the present day. The original small lakewheat, Indeed, lingered on in use in Switzerland and the north down to the days of the Roman conquest; but, meanwhile, in Egypt and the south, still better varieties were being gradually developed by careful selection;

and we find both kinds side by side;

in some few instances; thus showing that both were grown together at the same time by races in different stages of civilization. With the introduction of these bet

ter kinds by the Greek and Roman colonists Into Gaul and Britain, the old lake-wheat became quite extinct. Indeed, in every case the cultivated seeds and fruits which grew in neolithic garden plots were much smaller than those of our own time, whereas the wild seeds and wild fruits found under the same circumstances are just as large as their congeners of the present day. A lapse which makes relatively little difference to the stable wild weeds makes relatively great differences In the very, plastic and carefully selected cultivated plants.

One Refrigerator Car for Every 1,000 People (New York Times.) For every 1,000 persons in the United States there is at least one refrigerator car, loaded with food products rolling along the rails. These cars

carry billions of pounds, and more than three-fourths of them haul fruit and vegetables. Much of this produce is highly perishable, and must be moved quickly while temperatures are kept down by the use of ice.

Unless one is much given to traveling, his breakfast fruit or dinner salad is Hkely to have covered more miles in a trip of days than he has in as many months, and all the way from field to table perishable fruits and vegetables must be watched over and cared for by a group of workers who are as busy as a mother traveling with a baby in arms.

Sometimes refrigerator cars arrive at markets with their fruit or vegetables damaged by heat or shifting of

loads, through faulty containers or

diseases and rots developed during transit. This means not only a loss

of foodstuffs, but increased prices for

the sound produce that arrives on the

market lasses that in the long run

must be borne by wholesaler, retailer, producer and consumer. This itself is serious enough, but according to the bureau of markets of the department cf agriculture, there is a present shortage of refrigerator cars in thia country, and the more cars that bring damaged produce to market the fewer available cars there

are to carry perishable food to the cities.

( Mostly Personal j DRAMATIC SOCIETY TO MEET

Helen Haseltine, chairman of the social committee of the Dramatic Society of the high school, has announced that "The Paper Match" will be read at the regular meeting next Wednesday. Dorothy Lebo is -president of the society: George Johnson, vice-president, and Mildred Whitely, secretary. CLUB TO PRESENT PLAY "The Kleptomaniac" by Margaret Carmeron will be presented from the high school auditorium stage by the Pedestrian club, on November 14. This play is by the writer of "The Burgler," a light comedy given by the Dramatlo society last year.

Pat Duncan, rookie member of the Keds, stands out as one of the series' greatest heroes. In August he was filaying along, unknown, in a minor eague. Less than two months later he was wrecking the White Sox hopes for a world pennant by his spectacular batting and fielding?

Scientists have demonstrated that nearly 60 per cent, of our bodily ills result from mental worries.
