BRINGING UP

VHAT D0 VOO DO With THAT eOX OP NML5 ANTHIN OF MINE STIVERS NEXT FOR H, S GAME WITH NEWCASTLE OFF Cancellation of the Newcastle-Rich-moad football game Saturday, by Man ager Vernon, because of the Impossibility of finding a place In Richmond where a football game could be played, was a sore blow to the hopes of the team and to the student body. The contest was looked upon as the big game of the season, by Richmond rooters and Vernon waited until the last minute before Bending word to the Rose City of hia decision. It la the last game of the season for New castle, and as Richmond has no open dates within the next three weeks, Vernon says Richmond will probably have to wait until next year for an other chance. Stiff Game Next Week. Exhibition Park and the Play grounds were In impossible shape Fri day afternoon and Coach Rock held signal practice for the team in the Y. M. C. A. gym. The team put a lot of pep and action into the work. Following the football practice, the squad began shooting a basketball, and it could be called the first workout for this season's basketball squad. Next Saturday Richmond will travel to Dayton, O., where a game has been scheduled with Stivers high. An indication Of the strength of Stivers can be gained from the fact that Steele high beat Stivers by 3 points, and Steele beat Hamilton by 30 points. Championship Field to Narrow, Both Here and in East, in Today's Game Indiana and Notre Dame hold the center of the Indiana football stage for today. Other elevens will, however, meet in some battles having interest to dopesters and close followers of the teams. The meeting between Purdue and the Michigan Aggies at Lafayette promises to be a warm affair. It is holding the interest of many state fans, in view of the fact that this promises to give the boiler makers a chance to redeem the havoc wrought last week by the Wolverine eleven, when it took DePauw across in fa&t style. The Boiler Makers are working to keep thir record clean with the Michigan school. The Aggies are down with blood in their eyes, bent on revenge. Other state contests that give promise of making some marked results on the state gridiron records for this season include the scrap to be staged at Greencastle between Coach Buss's Tigers and Franklin. The Baptists have not met defeat before a state team this season and by virtue of their tie game with Purdue are entering the battle with all confidence of overcoming the Old Gold combination. Butler at Hanover. Butler travels to Hanover and Valparaiso to St. Louis, camp of St. Louis universUv, in the only other games engaged "in by Indiana aggregations this 'Saturday. The Butler-Hanover game will have practically no bearing on the season's record, other than to determine a cellar occupant for the I. C. A. L. Butler is given the edge, however, by virtue of its strong showing against Rose Poly last Saturday, when the Torre Haute combination was held to a 21 to 7 score. CUT DOWN EAST. NEW YORK, Nov. 1. A further reduction of the eastern college championship college football field may be expected from the games played today. Interest particularly centers in the Dartmouth -Colgate game at Hanover, X. H., for both these powerful elevens have swept all before thorn to date. Colgate has played four games, defeating Brown, Cornell and Princeton in the last three, without being scored upon. The most impressive of Dartmouth's five victories are those achieved during the past two weeks at the expense of Penn State and Corn-Mi. The other two contests stand out in the day's schedule involving undefeated combinations in the Pennsyl-van'.a-Penn State, and the LehighPittsburg games. Spiceland Announces Card; Two Games With Richmond SPICELAND, Ind., Nov. 1 The next game on the schedule of the Spiceland Military Academy is with Technical of Indianapolis, on Nov. 7. The academy team has already marked up wins over Hagerstown. 25 to 23. and Lewisville. 17 to 8. The schedule for the rest of the season follows: Nov. 7. Technical of Indianapolis at Soiceland: Nov. 14, Rushville at Rushville; Nov. 15, Haperstown at Spiceland'; Nov. 21, Franklin at Franklin; Pec. 5.

TOUD JOHN TO THROW IT OUT I tXJN't WANT THAT UOeISH AROUND HERE. - , Poly Loses to Wabash in Last Three Minutes CRAWFORDS VILLE, Ind., Nov. 1. After holding the Wabash eleven scoreless until the last three minutes, and playing a marvelous game. Rose Poly went down to disheartening defeat today by a 10 to 0 score on Ingalla Field, which resembled a lake after twenty-four hours rain. For fifty-five minutes the Rose lines, depleted by injuries to several stars, held the smashing attack of the Scarlet back field, only to lose the game on a turn of luck. When within 20 yards of the Rose goal, with 3 minutes to play, Naber, Little Giant full back, dropped back for a kick. The ball sailed high over the goal posts, and it could not be seen whether it had gone over the bar or not. Referee Heze Clarf called the kick good. A minute later, after the kickoff, the Scarlet advanced the ball down the field, and with 6 seconds to play, Weber, subquarter broke through the Engineers' line and went through a broken field for a touchdown. Naber kicked the goal, and before the ball could be put in play again the whistle ended the game. ST. MARY'S AGAIN CANCELS; QUAKERS LOOK TO FRANKLIN With the St. Mary's game cancelled, Coach Mowe will -turn his undivided attention to the coming game with Franklin on Reid Field, next Saturday. The Quaker mentor is keenly disappointed over the action of the Dayton school, for the game would have proved invaluable as practice for the Quaker team. Reid Field is waterlogged, but unless it is two feet deep Monday after, noon. Coach Mowe declares that Earlham will get in a stiff practice. If necessary, Mowe says he will instruct the squad in the Australian crawl. This is the second time that Earlham has been forced to forego a game with the Dayton school, and unless a post-season game is scheduled, no further effort will be made by Coach Mowe. Eighteen men were picked to make the trip and when notified that "all bet3 were off", were ' dismayed for they were counting upor this game to help them obtain their football "E's". All the stories emanating from the Franklin camp are not being given credence by the Earlham fans and in spite of the fact that Franklin has made considerable showing against some strong teams this year, the fact that it was downed by the St. Xavier I crowd has made the hopes at Rich mond rise higher. y The inactivity of the Quakers will probably be a good thing in one way, as it will allow the hospital corps of the squad to get back in shape for the Franklin fray and will eliminate the possibility of any one of the more dependable players getting injured in the game today. Engles' Cancel Sunday Contest With Kokomo Because of a conflict on business arrangements, the Engles' 828 football team, Richmond independents, called off the scheduled Kokomo game for Sunday, according to Captain Sheridan. This leaves all local football teams idle for the week-end. FOX TO BRING WIGGAMS AND CHIEN TO CITY Promoter Joe Fox has signed Dick Chien of Cincinnati, O., to meet Howard Wiggams, the popular Indiana light heavyweight boxer, in a tenround bout in Richmond on the night of Nov. 17. 394,000 JOIN (Continued from Paae One) of the mines to begin wo'rk at the usual hour this morning, and whistles sounded the "work today" signal, but there were no responses. NOT SO MANY IN KY. MADISOXVILLE, Ky., Nov. 1. Affected the first time in 10 years by a strike of large magnitude, Kentucky today was within the grasp of a nationwide strike of soft coal miners which went into effect last midnight. Approximately 10,000 miners of the state had ioined the walk-out early today, according to union officers who predicted that several thousand additional men would quit before Monday. Although officials of District 23, United Mine Workers of America, have repeatedly asserted that from 13,000 to 20,000 workers would answer the strike call, available reports today from the entire state did not show that many miners out. ALL OUT IN MICHIGAN. BAY CITY. Mich., Nov. 1. Not a pound of coal is being produced in Michigan coal mines today, according to union officials. The 2,400 members of - district number 24 LTnited Mine Workers of America, they added, went out yesterday to remain out "until j they have won this strike." J

WHE"RED VOO THROW THAT

IN THE LAKe-tRl Gatherings From By JACK KEENE. Promoters dont have to guarantee all boxers. Here is one who will give the manager a guarantee any time he fights. He is Stock Yards Tommy Murphy, the Chicago middleweight, and war hero. Tommy has signed for a series of bouts with the Racine (Wis.) Club, and has agreed to post a forfeit for each show that the gate receipts will amount to a certain sum. For instance he told the promoter what guarantee and percentage he "wanted and the club replied that the show would have to draw a certain sum to show a profit. "All right," replied the Irishman, 'Til post ten per cent of that sum to guarantee the receipts reach that figure." Murphy Is one of those fellows who believes a boxer is worth no more than he can draw at the gate. He works on the same principle with other club3 and is willing to make the same arrangements with them. The shifty Irishman is fresh from a ten-round victory over FrankieBrennan, of Detroit, at Kalamazoo, and expects a busy season in Michigan rings. He has dates pending at Detroit and Battle Creek. Tom is an ex-saiolr, having put in eighteen months along the Atlantic seaboard with the American convoy service. He developed a knock-out punch while in service and has a batting average of .333 since being released. Any football team might do well to remember the wonderful achievements of the 1905 Penn team. After accidents and faculty rulings had ripped the eleven well nigh asunder, the boys rallied back and remodelled a team that beat Harvard. To start the season Big Bill Hollenback broke a leg and remained out of the fame all season. Weed, who -was an AllAmerican end, also broke a leg and he retired for the year. Dutch Zeigler then contracted typhoid fever and Baldy Draper was ruled out by the faculty. Such a casualty list might have staggered any eleven, but the Penn men got together with the real spirit. They won all their games, and finally came down to the struggle with Harvard. Early in the game Dr. Otis REDS MUST WORK HARD TO REPEAT CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 1 At this early date it appears the Reds are going to have a real fight on their hands next season to repeat as pennant winners in the National League. When they dashed right home with the senior league bacon and the world championship, they certainly looked like the best bet in' the country for John Heydler's 1920 pennant. They still look that way. but indications are they will have more opposition next season than they encountered thi3 year. Owners of the New York and Chicago teams found there is a miut of money to be made with winning teams in their towns. The Giants, though they finished second, made more money last summer than any club in baseball. The Cubs, by finishing third also made money. Owners of these two teams realize a pennant next year will mean more profits than they laid up in 1919, so they are prepared to losen up and corral all the good players possible this winter in an effort to wrest the championship next year from Herrmann, Moran & Co. If something happens to cause a break or two in the club, or if the Reds become imbued with the idea that they are invincible they will not win out next year. Their battle is going to be harder in 1920 than it was this year. It is almost certain they will have a lqnger schedule to play next year and that they will have to beat stronger teams. The Reds, if they stick together, will be the stronger team next spring than they were in most of the 1919 pennant race. They will have three reliable outfielders Instead of two and should have first-class pitchers, whereas there were times last season when Moran had only two or three dependable hurlers. He developed his staff as he went along and had jt at its highest notch of efficiency in the closing weeks of the season. If the Reds run back to their best 1919 form, as they should do for at least one more season, they can win the pennant even if the rest of the league shows an improvement. Moran's team this year was so much better than anything else in the league the other clubs had no show, once the Reds realized their own strength. SOON READY FOR DEMPSEY Bob Matin, of Akron, O., the A. E. F. champion who won his first professional bout last Tuesday night, had 28 ring battles while in France with the A. E. F. He won a large number of them by knockouts, and after winning the A. E. F. title went into the inter-allied competition and won the final bout by stopping Coughill of Australia, in 50 seconds. He also knocked out Journee, sparring partner of Carpentiei'.

i"KEW ITthe World of Sport Lamson scored a touchdown for the Quakers, but Harvard evened the score, and at half time the count was 6 to 6. It was on that day that Mike Murphy made his immortal speech between the halves. "Iv'e only a little while to live, boys" said Mike, who -was a sick man at the time. "Win this game for me." And Penn. fired by the words of the great coach, went out and won. Kid Gleason is planning a trade or two to be consummated this winter which will result In the bracing of his pitching staff, for the White Sox hurling corps must be strengthened if the team is to make a serious bid for the championship in 1920. Eddie Cicotte, Claude Williams and Dick Kerr are about the only dependable pitchers he has at preent and as Cicotte has retained his effectiveness much longer than the average pitcher it is certain that he will not last very much longer. He may be as good in 1920 as he was this year, but Gleason has no tangible guarantee of that and he cannot afford to take any chances. Incidentally, it is reported that the shrewd leader of the American league champions already has obtained Kerr's signature to a contract for next season. DE HART'S PLAYING PITT'S BAROMETER Captain De Hart. The most notable feature of the terrilic beatinjr Syracuse handed the famous Pittsburg eleven recently was the crl-color T'lcvn of Captain De Hart of the Pitt crew. Pitt fans are positive that, with Pe Hart playing in form, the result would have been different. "When De Hart is right, wo win." say they. The fans haven't lost hope, however, and predict that De Hart and the rest of the Pitt team will be heard from before tho season's over. Senate Farm Committee Favors Sugar Board (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 By a vote of 9 to 2, the senate agriculture committee today ordered a favorable report of the McNary bill to continue the United States sugar equalization board during 1920 and to authorize it to buy sugar crop3 next year.

REPORT RECOMMENDS SALE OF SHIPPING BOARD VESSELS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. Recommending that shipping board vessels under 6,000 tons .deadweight be sold both to American and foreign bidders; that vessels over 6,000 tons be restricted to American registry for a period of years to protect American ship-owning interests and that the government absorb the difference between the cost and the sale price of the 2,000 ships owned by the shipping board, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States today submitted to its 1,236 member organizations, the report of its committee on ocean transportation.

Absurd to Call U.S.

Old" Says Charnwood (Lord Charnwood. in Anglo-French Review., I have spoken of the United States as a new country. In a way it is well to remember that the epithet "new" o applied is in some respects mis leading and absurd. The United States as a national power is of course older than the late German empire. The American constitution of today is a little older than the real working British constitution of today, however much the antiquity king, lords and commons, severally, may disguise this fact. The American nation moreover has by now a sufficient length of history behind it of history peculiarly rich In romance, in dramatic events and in heroc figures to do away with any sense on the part of others that Its life lacks the background of antiquity, and if it lives in a constant state of transition, so, too, is it with ourselves. But in one sense the word "new" applied to the United States stands for an Important fact a fact common to them and to the overseas dominions. Their political and social community was the creation of a number of men who came together in a field heretofore untrodden by their race, steeped as individuals in the traditions of an older community, but surrounded, then and thenceforward to this day, by circumstances wholly unlike those which have ever prevailed in any country of Europe. Therefore the untraveled Englishman or Frenchman who wishes to understand America has to perform two initial efforts. He must once for all imagine vividly the difference of circumstances which all along has governed or conditioned the development of America. He must then recognize, as then alone he can, the persistence in the American commonwealth of very old and very venerable things the creation, In the main no doubt of its English progenitors, but influenced in marked degree by Ideas which had their origin in France. Thus, and thus only, he will begin to see the things which may first have struck him about America in their true setting and perspective. As he does so. things which may at first have repelled him are likely to fill a smaller space in his vision; things which have stirred his affection, or even enthusiasm may become the chief associations of the word America in his mind. Anyhow, America is a country not a region of space and a country which it i3 impossible to regard with neutral or lukewarm feelings. Richmond Division Makes Record in Safety Drive Only one accident marred the otherwise perfect record of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania railroad, in the recent nation-wide safety campaign. The only accident was the death of a yard brakeman at Kokomo. on October 20. Officials and workmen of the division who had charge of the drive, were greatly rleased with the showing made by the division, particularly in the prevention of minor accidents. Warning was issued by Superintendent Stimson, of the Richmond division Saturday, against relaxing the care on the part of the workmen. "The drive is over now, and we have made a good record, but do not stop being careful," he said. "Help us keep the Richmond division in the lead in accident prevention work." W. VA.
