too much, and Billiard was deposed and

FIREMEN WE'RE LOSERS.

Spencer, Oct. about 200 spectators
were present at Railroad Park to witness
the base ball game between the c.. r. A.
ball team and nine representing The
Spencer hremen. The features of the
game were Birds home run and Dillon
two base hit. The Spencer fremen's team
was composed largely of the old Tumbler
and brotherhood base ball teams, which
brought Spencer's colors many time to
victory They also showed by the game
that they put up today that they had not
lost all of their base ball ability. The
game lasted only seven innings, as the
firemen did not think they could stand
nine The Anal score resulted in II to Z
in favor of the c. T. A. team.

Especially in the second half was Yale

HARVARD MEN DowNcAsT
Yesterdays Game With Williams Showed
Many Weaknesses.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. Harvard
defeated Williams this afternoon by
only II points. Harvards great weak
ness was in the line at the three cen
trail places and at right. Behind the
line the backs played hard and fast,
though their interference was not COM
pact and precise. DAILY, the new Har-
ward quarterback, was tried in back
field in the same capacity as was De-
Saulles of Yale last year. He punted
the ball admirably, got into the inter-
ference WELL and tackled superbly.
Harvard did all the scoring in the first
half, but only one of the touchdowns
were made by straight ahead foot ball.
The first down was primarily due to
the fumbling of the Williams fullback.
In both halves, the ball was in VIII
liams' territory most of the time, but
in the second half the heavy Williams
forwards opened big holes in the Grim
son line, and their half backs found the
line very yielding. On actual ground
gaining, the Williams men were very
nearly at par with their opponents, but
much inferior in punting and handling.

Dear Hal: Jan. %.
Pure and unadulterated smut" is
Mr.. Edward Rice's latest contribution
to the stage literature of the day. The
Girl from Paris has done more to
convince me in a single night that the
American stage needs a censor, than
a dozen problem plays could do in a
whole season. Where is the thing go
ing to stop? What is the remedy? If
the stage is going to be turned into
an Augean stable, where is the Her
cules to arise to scour it out?
1 am thankful to believe that there
is a healthy public sentiment, in this
corner of the land at least, which VIII
froWn upon and resent such ~endeaVors
to poIlute the public taste n to drag
down theatrical standards, as is evil
lei in the presentation of plays"
like Mr.. Rice's.
We have our ''rou-lders,' of course;
our ''chappies' and our willie boys"
who engage the two or three rows
nearest to the orchestra, Il who try
to appear "devilish' to the dancing
girls in front, and hope al the same
time the backs of their heads won't
be recognized in the rear; but, thank
fortune, there is not a second hOuseful
in the town that could be beguiled into
the theatre after hearing Of the eX-
p~erience Of the first. The box Office
man this morning must have thought
that the city had been visited over
night by some epidemic of disease.
The number of telephone calls he re-
ceived. announcing that owing TO
sudden illness in the family" the order
for seats for Saturday afternoon or
evening would hive to be counter
manded, etc, was little short of para
lying. The matinee was largely at
tended, mostly by people VINO had
bought their tickets early, but at night
there were many yawning gaps in the
ranks of the bunkoed auditors.
As I saw the troops of young people
of high school age emerging from the
matinee, l couldn't help wondering
what effect such exhibitions, such in
decencies Of action and speech, must
have had upon their thoughts. The
mind of youth, so like a white, IN
spotted piece Of canvas, ready for the
painters brush. How previously
should its purity be guarded, If a tiny
fake of SCOT settles upon the canvas
before the artist is ready with his col
ors, long and a~rduously must he toll
to efface the stain. Who shall say
thai many a youthful mind has not
been soiled for the first time by cOntact
with some such performance as that
seen at the theatre today?
Were I a mother in Israel. which,
thank heaven, I am not, I would show
to the front door without hesitation
any young nan who invited a daugh-
ter of mine to sit through such a bold
and libidinous rendition IS The Girl
from Paris"
1 met a young couple. by the way,
just out from the matinee. I asked
the lady how she liked the perform
ance. She said she didn't care TO dis
cuss it, and he hurriedly asked US both
if We wouldn't so into tie drug store
and discuss Huyler. L went, but I felt
more like asking for disinfectants.
In the meantime, while we are doing
without stage censorship, what is the
matter with fathers and mothers exer-
cising q little censorship of their own
over the shows their boys and girls
shall be allowed to visit?
