HIGH FOOTBALL SQUAD GETS BRISK WORKOUT AT CITY PLAYGROUND Brisk scrimmage and snappy signal practice featured the workout of the high school squad on the playground gridiron Tuesday evening. The majority of the fellows reported to Coach Stenger for the practice. Including Tom Nolan, who has been on the sidelines for some time. Nolan is considered a logical man for a regular berth and his work thus far has been of high order.

btenger ran the first and second squads through the best scrimmage neia mis year, ine two teams were evened up by the switching of Green, Nolan, Stanley and Schumaker to the second team. They scrimmaged for several minutes, each team scoring at frequent intervals. The purpose of the mixed line-up was to make the competition more intense and to develop the forward passing and linebucks of the first squad. The final score of the short game was 24-24, neither side having the better of the argument. Been Fortunate Thus far this season the men have met with no serious disasters and their precaution is regarded as being the main reason for the good condition of the men, physically. Stenger makes a habit of making the man work for his position and some lively competition for the regular berths has prevailed throughout the season. The defensive play of the entire team has been the main factor in the victories registered so far. Green, savior, opauiuing ana .viuuigan nave) stood out as the main defensive cog j in iuc uwi umr nuu wnu luebe uustues plugging the holes the offense has always been able to come across with the necessary points for the win. Captain Tom Schumaker, deserves mention for being the captain of the first team in three years to win two games in one season. Schumaker does not necessarily deserve commendation for his good work any more than the other members of the team, but,! the fact, that he is doing his part so well marks him as a real captain for the high school team. Makirrj Good Showing. Wonderful showing is being made by men of the team who are either playing their firt year or have had little experience. Malone is making his debute as quarterback this year and his ability has been proved in the past games by his brainy piloting of the team's plays. Brown. Kennedy. Spaulding and Gaylor are playing their first year at the grid game and they must be commended for their good work. The forward passing department of the game is a very important one. :md Stanley, a new man, has mad" quite a show by his ability to receive passes for substantial gains. Another pair of new men who are -alternating at right tackle is Semler and Kohnle. These fellows won their places by work and they show signs of promise in the remaining games of the schedule. Around the old timers Mattcx, Mulligan, Nolan. Schumaker and Green is the nucleus for the winning team which the Red and White has proved itself to be thus far. Practice With Eartham. Coach Stenger's grid squad met competition at Earlham college. Wednesday evening, for their big and important workout before the Knightstown game here Saturday. The high school men have benefited by the scrimmagewith the mere experienced men. Duo to the fact that they are meeting the college men in practice, they are able to subdue the high school teams of Indiana, which they have met so far. Richmond will have a chance ct witnessing the Red and White in action for the second time this season when Coach "Sheno" Collins's warriors from Knightstown appear for a big tilt on Reid field Saturday afternoon. A large crowd of rooters is. expected from Knightrtown and alou;: with the usual crowd of local fan?, there should be a record crowd out tor the high school game.

Efforts to obtain Harry Hooper, former star outfielder of the Boston Red Sox, now with the Chicago White Sox. are being made by the New York Yankees, it was learned today. Kid Gleason, nianaeer of the Chicago team, was in conference with the Yankee owners and Manager Huggins last night.

Each member of the Louisville association club which won the junior world series from the Baltimore team, champions of the international league, will receive for his share of the winner's purse, $.-)64.04. Members of the losing team will receive $375.03. The St. Paul team which lost last year to Baltimore received twice as much for losing as the Colonels did for winning. George "Buck" Weaver, of the old White Sox team, has filed suit against Charles Comiskey, owner of the White Sox, for $20,000 salary, alleged to be due him on his contract with the club. Weaver contends Comiskey dropped him without warrant and that the trial. at which he was acquitted, showed there was no evidence to connect him with the alleged throwing of the series. The Illinois football team returned from Iowa without any excuses for its defeat and with a word of praise for the Hakeyes. This game will be forgotten and all attention is being put forth for coming Wisconsin game next Saturday at Illinois.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

UP TO JUDGE LANDIS OR STAGE BACKDOWN Br PRAXK G. MKNKE George Herman Ruth determined In Buffalo that he was a mightier thing than the rules of baseball. So quite openly and with a public show of contempt for the regulations that govern the national game, he indulged In a barnstorming combat. It is now cleaiiy up to Judge Kenesaw M. Landis to suspend Ruth, in keeping with the rules, or do an inglorious backdown from his throne of power. What'll it be? The rule which Ruth violated is a sillything at its best. All players, other than those involved in world series duels are permitted to indulge in after-season barnstorming. But the baseball law states that no world series player can do it. Just why a blue ribbon battler, who, naturally, is more of a drawing card than a nonpennant winning athlete, cannot indulge in after-series games, is not at all clear. But rules in baseball are made to be kept not broken. Right after the series ended, Ruth announced his intentions lo barnstorm. Landis isued a warning then. He declared, in substance: "The rules bar Ruth from playing in a barnstorming tour now. He must not Dlav. If he does, there is nothing i I left for me to do but to act in keep-, J"s "1U1 ,UIPS- uenance uy rvuui of the rules means a personal issue between Ruth and myself, as to which of us -is the bigger man in baseball. Ruth originally was scheduled to play on the field of the Buffalo International League club. When the owner of the club learned of the Landis order, he closed the park to Ruth. But. the slugger, not to be denied, looked around quickly for some other place where the game could be staged. A semi-pro field was secured. And there the game was played. Ruth wasn't alone in fracturing the rules. He had as his team-mates three other Yankees Bob Meusel, Tom Shoehan and Bill Piercey. That trio is subject to the same sort of punishment as Ruth, for like Ruth, they played the game in full knowledge of their act of defiance. Action is Conjecture. It is within the power of Landis to suspend all the players indefinitely, to fir.o them any sum of money within reason or to bar them absolutely from baseball. Just what action he will take is a matter of conjecture at this moment. But Landis, in legal actions. is a spectacular figure. He does nothing by halves. If Ruth and his mates had broken the rule and declared afterward they were not wholly familiar with it and that they were quite sorry about it, Landis might have had occasion for leniency. But in this particular instance, the four flagrantly went against the specific rules, of baseball and entirely ignored the advance warning of Landis. . "I ll play," said Ruth. "If you do you'll be punished to the limit," said Landis. Ruth played and so scoffed at the Landis power. Therefore, the sportive public sits by and watches and waits for the next move on the part of baseball's High Commissioner. (Copyright 1U21 By Klnc Feature Syndicate. Inc.) TV0 BIG TEN TEAMS TO BE ELIMINATED IN SATURDAY GAMES (By Associated Press CHICAGO, Oct. 19. When the University of Chicago team leaves Thursday to meet Princeton on the eastern school's grounds, they will have trained in all the plays which were used by Princeton against Annapolis last Saturday. A scout for the Maroon? brought back diagrams of the Tigera' offense play, and Coach Stagg ha-? coached the Maroons diligently in the different formations. With two weeks' rest the squad is pronounced in better shape than at any time this fall. The big question is whether the Maroons will be able to withstand the rush of the Tigers' attack. Chicago showed up good against Northwestern, but looked "ragged" against Purdue. From advance ticket sales it is ex j pected that 1,000 rooters will accompany the team. These will be headed by Arthur Cody, cheer leader of the university. Two to Go Down. Two of the -four teams which have ; proven strong contenders for Big Ten honors In the past, face elimination next Saturday. Michigan will play its first Big Ten game of the season at Ann Arbor, when it meets Ohio State. Buckeye's 27 to 0 victory over Minnesota, last Saturday, showed Ohio State to be in splendid shape, despite graduation of many stars of last year. Wisconsin, another unbeaten Bi? Ten aggregation, will play Illinois at Urbana, and while the Badgers now look best, the Orange and Blue team Is expected to recover from the trouncing given It Saturday by Iowa. The Indiana eleven will go to Minneapolis Saturday to meet Minnesota, and present indications point to dofeat for the Gophers. The Hoosiers have a good attack, whereas Minnesota has made a weak showing in defense. Iowa, Purdue and Nebraska, of the Big Ten teams, have no games scheduled for this week end. Notre Dame and Nebraska will meet at South Bend in one of the leading mid-west games of non-conference teams. The Notre Dame team is confident of winning despite heir defeat by Iowa two weeks ago. TENDLER POSTS $5,000 TO BIND BOUT WITH LEONARD NEW YORK, Oct. 19. Lew Tendler, Philadelphia boxer, who meets Rocky Kansas in Buffalo in a 15-round decision bout here Friday night, has posted $5,000 with Tex Rickard to bind a match with Lightweight Champion Benny Leonard. - Leonard and Tendler were to have met in a championship bout at Phila delphia recenty, but the contest was called off when Leonard injured his hand in training. Kansas stayed 12 rounds wijh the champion in a bout in New Jersey last winter.

The Bulldogs are sure to be confident and in the words of Coach Mowe, Earlham has the chance to give Butler the surprise of her athletic career. The coaches are working this week to perfect a better co-ordination between the backfield and line, in both defense and offense. The line which was ihe weak point of the combination early in the season, has been improving steadily as was shown in the Wilmington game. No important change has been made in the lineup. Stanley's broken nose has healed rapidly and it is probable that he again will be in his old position for the Butler fray. Ivey, the speedy full back of the Quakers, has been limbering up his kicking toe this week, and it is expected that it will play an important part in getting the Maroons out of the danger zone in the coming contest Press reports state that Fat Page has also been working his backfield in this department of the game. The Butler game will throw some more light on the Thanksgiving day contest, when the Quakers meet Franklin, on Reid field. Rose Poly sprang a surprise Saturday when they defeated Franklin 10-0, while in the preceeding week the Butlerites experienced little difficulty in walking over the Engineers.

The Wall Street Mystery By FREDERICK J, HASKIN

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 19 Al though persistently baffled in their efforts to solve the mystery of the Wail street explosion, which last year killed 39 persons, injured 200 and caused nearly $1,000,000 properly damage, the New York police and detectives of the United States department of justice have never for a moment abandoned it. Investigation of this so-called master crime is still proceeding quietly but determinedly, every detective cherishing the dream that some day he will triumphantly march the guilty criminal into an amaz?d and envious headquarters. Upon the anniversary of the disaster, a couple of weeks ago, the fi nancial district of the city was placed under heavy guard. Upper Fifth avenue shown brilliantly with brass buttons, while downtown, detectives from the bomb and homicide squads of the police department "covered" the subtreasury and assay office and the large I banking houses of the neignborhood. eagerly waiting for some indication of proposed violence. In these propitious circumstances, of course, nothing happened. After a long day of hopeful suspense, the guards went safely home to bed, and the mystery of the bomb outrage certainly one of the most curious that has eviT puzzled the police was ad mitted to be no nearer a solution. A ! few officials went even further and admitted that it had been impossible even to establish the fact that a bomb was planted by any one. That the crime was planned and perpetrated by an anarchist or a group of anarchists is the theory which the police have been working on all along a theory presumably well founded upon clues discovered on the scene of the crime. Accordingly, the search for criminals has been confined chiefly to radical groups throughout the country. In the past year several sus-

P. Morgan bank building, a location not more than 100 feet from the New York stock exchange. The noonday crowds were filling the narrow streets when the blast came. The shock was so great that peoples RICHMOND (Continued from Page One.) than Richmond, reported 19 cases and only two deaths.

in distant Brooklyn were frightened and ran screaming into the streets. You can imagine, therefore, what havoc it wrought among the crowds in Wall street. In a brief interval seemingly only a few seconds 1,700 policemen were on the scene fighting back the thousands of persons who rushed forward, in order that the wounded might not be trampled upon and that the ambulances and dead wagons might have free way. They arrived upon a ghastly scene. Many victims were strewn in all directions, some dead, some dying, and many suffering from painful minor injuries. The dilapidated vehicle which had hauled the explosives was shattered into atoms, while the head of its equally dilapidated horse was picked up on the steps of the United States assay office. The police soon had the streets roped off and the scene of the crime cleared in order that all existing clues might be preserved for investigation; Detectives from police headquarters and agents from the nearby department of justice offices, including some of the most expert criminologists in the country, were almost immediately on hand, checking up bits of evidence, questioning alleged witnesses and tracing various reports. Fairly intelligent descriptions of the horse and wagon were obtained from three persons who claimed to haa seen the vehicle clatter into Wall street. Hoof pads cf the horse, bearing the inscription "Bison Hoof Pad Company, Buffalo, New York," were picked up, and from the size of these pads the investigators were able to judge the exact weight of the horse. They also were able to judge from the size and extent of the disaster that it had been caused by approximately , 200 pounds of T. N. T. The presence i of small bits of metal, scattered over a vast area (the deadly pieces of sash weights, already referred to) convinced the police that they had to deal with a deliberately planned crime. This assumption was strengthened by the statements of several witnesses who claimed to have seen three Ital ians standing near tne fateful wagon e minutes or so before the explosion. Then came the seeming confirmation of this theory in the news that warnings of the impending catasi trophe had been mailed to various per ! Enna nn the rtav hefnre it occurred. The last clue was investigated first. In a short time agents of the department of justice had uncovered tho surprising information that the warnings had been mailed by Edwin P. Fischer, former tennis champion cf New York City. "Keep out of the financial district on the afternoon of September 16," was the message he had sent to several friends as well as to the French high commission. A Psychic Warning. The solution, of the mysterious explosion seemed to be reduced to the mere matter of locating Edwin P. Fischer. Fischer saved the police this trouble by appearing in Hamilton, Ontario, 54 hours after the disaster, .in company with his brother, who was trying to have him committed to th3 care cf the Canadian Lunacy commis sion. Instead, he was taken into custody by the Canadian police, who held him until the United States secret service men could reach Hamilton. This they did in a great hurry, bringing with them a staff of stenographers ! for the purpose of recording Fischer's confession so certain were tney tnai he was connected with the explosion. They w ere destined to be disappointed, however. Fischer turned out to I be as unperturbed as he was cordial. I He greeted the government agents politely. He admitted writing the warnings. When accused of having visited a New Jersey munitions fac tory two weeks before the explosion, he also admitted that. He did not deny that he had left New York for Canada a few hours after it had happened. But that he was guilty, he would not admit. His foreknowledge j of the disaster, he declared, had como to him by reason of a peculiar psychic USE SLOAN'S TO WARD OFF PAIN LITTLE aches grow into big pains unless warded off by an application of Sloan's.

Fischer, stubbornly stuck to his story. : ' J After this great t. disappointment, secret service officials, wers' compelled to start searching for a new criminal. In this search police in all parts of the country Joined, inspired by the fact that the city of New York ,alor.! offered a reward of $10,500 for the capture of the guilty parties, while an additional reward of $50,000 was Oifered by Wall street business lrterests. The Cleveland police were the first to contribute interesting suspects, when they arrested a radical trio, two men and a woman, who professed to know more than they should about the explosion, but these three wer? able to establish perfect alibis. Later came the arrest of Tito. Ligi, a Pittsburg Italian, known to be a draft deserter and radical, boastful of his familiarity with bombs. The chief evidence against Ligi was the fact that pieces of sash weights similar to those found in Wall street, were discovered in his home that, and the fact-that a new York witness positively identified him as one of the three Italians seen near the bomb cart just before the explosion. Nevertheless, Ligi. also possessed an invincible alibi. Following this failure, an Italian of Bayonne, N. J., was arrested and formally charged with the crime, after several. witnesses had likewise identified him as one of the guilty throseen in the vicinity of the T. N. T. wagon. But later when arraigned by the government on the specific charge, the number of witnesses had somehow dwindled to one, whose story was ob viously patched and flimsy. De Filipis was quietly released.
