SAYS HoFER IS
NOT COMPETENT
Quincy Papers Claim Majority Of Fans
do Not Believe Hofer Can
Give Winner.

That the fans at Quincy are stir
red up over the baseball situation
is no joke. 1t is even said that Judge
Akers, one Of the rost loyal fans
there. has lost heart and states that
he will not attend any more ball
matches for the present The article
n part says: H s:
1t seems to the writer that the
people who make baseball possible
in Quincy; make the game possible by
putting up their good money year in
and year QUIT seems to the writer
that these people are entitled to a
little bit of consideration, and that a
word should be said in their behalf
at least once or twice d ring The
course OF the baseball season.
In recent years the baseball peo-
pie in Quincy have gotten poor re-
turns for the good money they have
put up. And the indisputable fact
is that they place the responsibility
upon Harry Hofer. who owns the
franchisc promotes the game, hires
the Quircy players, pays them and
selects tneir field manager We are
stating the facts here. as all inter
ested persons know them to be.
Nor is that all 1t IS the settled
opinion OF the great majority of our
baseball-loving people that Harry
Hofer will never give this town win
ming baseball. The truth OF this
statement cannot be successfully
gain-said. Our people say If Harry
Hofer is not responsible, then who
is? Responsibility has to be placed
somewhere. and our baseball people
are putting 1t precisely where 1t be-
longs. Where else can they put It?
The fairest baseball men we 7alk
with say that 1t is not worth while to
roast the players. The players are
not responsible for the baseball sit
uation In Quincy but the man who
owns the franchise. who promotes the
game. who hires and pays the play
ers, and selects their captain is re-
sponsible.

chance for ride with Mrs. Henry

Grand Avenue and started to climb on
the extension bar on the bacZ " the
stanhope driven by Mrs. Heaslip who
occupied the rig with two other ladies'.
In some unknown way, he slipped
from the spring bar and his right leg
was quickly caught by the wheel. The
limb was caught in such manner as
to twist It entirely from the body, Just
at the knee-cap, causing disarticula-
ton.
A large number Of the crowd which
was just coming from the ball park
witnessed the awful accident and
many rushed to the side Of the lad
who though his leg was twisted and
severed from his body remained in a
standing position until the wheels Of
the stanhope was removed and the

UNIVERSITY REGENT REPLIES
"Mr. Byrd Trego, Editor Of the Black
foot Republican,

foot Republican,
Dear sir: find In the Republic
can OF October 22nd an article en-
titled Friction at the University
This article states In substance
that there has been friction for long
time over the use Of the money APP
propriated by the Federal Govern
ment for experiment and training in
Agriculture and that the present
corps at the University are not work
ing In harmony; also that Prof.
French resigned his position because
he was not allowed to use the appro-
priations for the purposes for which
it was intended. 1t is further stated
that there is a tendency to divert fed
eral money for other departmt nts
than agriculture, and that those in
sympathy with agriculture are smart
ing under the use of agricultural
funds for foot ball and base ball.
"You have evidently been misin-
formed and as the article IL uncon-
tradicted might do state institution.
great injury request that you give
this reply publicity. There is at the
present time no friction In the agri-
cultural department. The present
corps at the university are working
in complete harmony.
Prof. French did not resign be-
cause he was not allowed to use the
agricultural appropriations as he de-
sired. His resignation was called for
by the Board Of Regents for the best
interests Of the institution. No money
whatever, from either federal or
state appropriations are devoted to
base ball or foot ball. Funds for
these purposes are provided by the
students themselves through the Ath-
letic Association.
Changes which have occurred in
the Agricultural department have
been Intentionally brought about by
the Regents for the purpose of putt
ing this department upon the highest
plane of efficiency. There are three
federal funds used by the University
1.-THE Hatch fund, Morrill, fund and
the Adams fund The uses to which
these funds may be put are defined
by law and by the regulations OF the
department OF agriculture.
1.-THE accounts are examined by
representatives of the federal gov
eminent and may add they have al
ways been approved.
Very truly yours,

Member of the Board Of Regents of
