Another Record Smashed.


Magofin. of Central. broke the record
in the 440-yard dash. He negotiated the
quarter of a mile in 0:53 is seconds.
The old figures were, 0:53 1-5. Jaeger,
of Eastern, fought hard to keep his
rival from beating him out, but was
not strong enough to reach the finish
first. Fischer. of Central, finished third.
scudder vaulted 5 feet II inches with
the assistance of the pole, and Johnson
jumped feet inches.
Jaeger beat Magofin out in the 100
yard dash. and finished the distance in
10 rs seconds. The 75-yard dash was
captured by Roberts, OF Central Time,
o:S Is. Kelley, of Central. ran away
with the half-mile. and completed the
trip in PIP 1-5. Rittenhouse. of West
ern. romped away with the 22O-yard hur-
die in e:29 is. Jaeger beat Magofin
1.-The Central Demon" by nose in the
220-yard dash. Time, 0:23 2-5.
Albert Hendley, a frail looking little
fellow from Central. ran a fine race in
the mile event. and the scene bordered
en- picturesqueness when such big fell
lows as Bell and others fell fainting to
the ground before the event was com
rleted, while little Hendley ran in ex-
cellent form and showed no ill effects
after his tiresome trip.
Interest in the Relay.
The High School championship relay
race was a stirring event. and evoked
showers of applause from the fair ele-
n-ent of the audience. OF course Cen
trial, as usual, won. Magofin, who ran
the last relief for &C." literally burned
the wind as he tore around the cinder
path a la Duffey. He finished yards
ahead of the Western man, who came
second. and Tech was third. Time,
2:49 2-5.

His Fine Record.

The record of Elberfeld as a Detroit
player. and his performances in the
earlier games of the present year seem
sufficient TO dispel any belief that at
any time he would deliberately do any
thing TO lower the standing of his own
club. Up to the time of the Washington
series in Detroit he was the winning play
er of the team Then came his slump in
batting. and q falling off in his field
work. not notable until Detroit met st.
Louis, a club against which it was
necessary to gain every point. When
Elberfeld does not hit he becomes moody.
and does not play his best game It
was one OF these slumps that last season
induced him to accept an offer to go
with McGraw in 1903-an offer that he
turned down when he had come out of
his Respondent fit. His lack of hitting
affected him in the ST. Louis series. was
an Indirect cause OF bad field playing.
and put him in a frame of mind for
Mondays mask kicking and glove throw
ing exhibition, on which he might prop
erly have been benched by the umpire.

The Elberfeld Case.

Nothing that has developed in base
ball this season has attracted the at
tention that is given the EIberfeId fine
and suspension. Two things account for
this. One is the great popularity of the
player in question, the other the char
acter of the principal charge against
him. which is virtually that of making
no effort TO stop St. Louis victories. This
is an especially grave charge In all
the history of organized ball but one
case Of deliberate effort to throw games
has been proved, and the punishment OF
those concerned was so swift and suf-
ficient that there was never a recurrence.

Hard Fought Battle.

Every event on the card was hard
fought and won by the best men, for
there We're no fiukes. Each athlete was
out to do his best. Central was prepared
for anything the other schools might
do, and in Magofin. the crack runner of
their school; Johnson, the high jumper;
Dent, the broad jumper; Scudder, the
pole vaulter; Hendley and Parsons, the
mile runners. and a lot of others, Cen
trail had all the best of the representa-
tion, and all of its athletes were typical
contestants for track and field suprem-
acy. In the weight-throwing contests
Central was not in the running. These
events were easily carried off by Balm
ger, of Tech, who threw a hammer
81 feet 5 inches. and put the shot IS
feet inches. The discus throw was
won by Macdonald, of Central, who
broke the record with a hurl of 81 feet
2 inches

it impossible for few men to control

the ETIQUETTE OF PRECEDENCE.

Etiquette OF precedence has aroused
acrimonious discussion among the wise
and reverend seigniors at the state
capital. i Responsibility for this dis
cussion is divided between President
Roosevelt's visit to Dies Moines Con-
gresham Hull's spirit of enterprise and
Jim Brenton's bulk. 1t appears that
Congressman Hull, with ali eye to the
main chance, has secured from the
committee on arrangements a promise
of a seat in the carriage which is to
meet the president on his arrival. 1t
is surmised that Mr. Hull hung around
and waited for the box office to open
but he got the ticket just the same.
With Governor Cummins. the pres
ident, this provided for the future seat
ing capacity of the vehicle.
Someone maliciously suggested that
the mayor Of Des Moines should take
precedence of common Seventh dis
trict congressman and Mayor Brenton
came forth and stood upon his rights.
Then there was trouble. The COM
mittee suggested various comprom-
Uses. It was argued that If Cum
minis and Hull rode there was no room
for the mayor. 1t was entirely evil
dent that IL the mayor rode there would
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1903-04-06

be no room for either Hull or Cum
minis. 1t was suggested that the re-
ception party be mounted on horse
back and Mayor Brenton with a red
sash wound around his middle, head
the cavalcade. A hurried search re-
vealed that neither horse nor sash
equal to the necessity was to be found
in all Des Moines. The committee had
dreams of float. with Mayor Brenton
as the centerpiece, but that was dis
missed as nightmare. Mr.. Brenton
expressed his willingness to give up
his place-possibly places would be
more accurate-to such honorable men
as Messrs. Cummins and Hull but with
Falstaffian insistence declared he
would render his place to no man
upon compulsion," so a Encouragement
has been made and President Roose-
Welt will contemplate the Brentonian
paunch during his progress thru the
streets of Des Moines. Where Governor
Cummins will sit the Lord knows, not
the committee. Perhaps the child-seat
arrangement may be brought into serv-
ice and he may sit between Mayor
Brenton's mighty knees.
But the people are awakened. This
matter of precedence must be settled
once and for all. We need a book OF
etiquette. Every court of Europe has
its Median law of precedence. Why
should Mayor Brenton's court lag be-
hind those effete eastern monarchies?
The lord mayor of London takes rank
with kings in matters pertaining to the
city. His status is clearly defined and
ordinary state officials are enjoined
from Quitting in" upon his prerog-
atives. Let us then have the book of

During visit to the south with an

eminent American professor met an old
negro servant whose duty it was to look
after the chickens of the establishment
where he was staying. The day before
the eclipse took place the professor in
an idle moment called the old man to
him and said: Sam. If tomorrow
morning at IL o'clock YOU watch your
chickens you will find they will all go
to roost.'
Sam was skeptical. af course. but
when at the appointed time next day
the sun in the heavens was darkened
and the chickens retired to roost the
negro's astonishment knew no bounds
He approached the professor in awed
wonder. "Massa," he asked, how long
ago did you know dat dem chickens
would go to roost?"
"oh. long time said the professor
airily.

ONE WAY TO PROHIBIT.
TWaterloo Reporter.1


The most effective plan to prevent
the establishment of saloon in a
town seems to have been discovered
in Lyon, Neb., where a court has just
decided that property cannot be used
for saloon purposes because clause
in the deeds stipulates against it. The
every deed provides that If intoxicat-
ing liquors We're ever sold upon the
premises the property should revert
to the original owner.
The suit just decided was brought
by Waldo II. Lyon, heir of Waldo
Lyon, to eject Balthas letter from a
certain lot in the town which he pur-
chased and used for saloon purposes
soon after the town went wet at a
recent election. The defense held that
the prohibitory clause in the deed is
binding only on those negotiating
with the original grantor. Judge Bax-
ter decided that the plaintiff is enti-
tied to writ of ejectment; that the
property reverts back to him and that
the prohibitory clause is just as good
as it ever was and will be for all time
to come. Furthermore, that Waldo
II. Lyon is entitled to s92 rent for
the use of the lot by letter. 1t is un-
derstood that the case will be appealed
and taken to the supreme court.
So 1t seems that a few lines written
at the proper time in deed of con-
veyance is force more mighty in
stopping the liquor traffic than all the
sumptuary laws that could be crowded
into a book of statutes. If the judg-
ment of the lower court is construed
as good law and sound sense by the
supreme court 1t will settle effectually
one much vexed question, and incident
ally it will tumble to dust the sup
posed right of the majority to rule their
own affairs in their own way. No mat
ter tho the entire voting population
