The invaders were on the defensive during every stage of the game. At no time was the green and white line within dan l ger of being crossed.
 The afternoons work brought out two individual stars, smalling for the Thunderbolts and Hogan for the enemy. The local youth was easily the hero of the afternoon. Big Mike {; worked into the game at the start of the third period making the rebels ing the spectators to stand on their toes. so sensational was his work. Though the largest in the matter of inches of all the gladiators. smalling and diving tactics pursued carrying him many feet before he is brought down. The rooters had great chance to whoop it up every time Srnal1ing took the ball. It was only through his great work that the last two touchdownS came about.

In this particular the visitors shone out to greater advantage. It was the only plays on which they could make first down. They showed that though they might not be very proficient in line bucklng and skirting the ends that they had the pass down to perfection.
 The kick-off came through at 3:3O o'clock. with Quinn grabbing the punt, rushing it back for eight yards be- fore downed. On the first play Baker punted out. and after a nifty run re- covered the ball himself The ball was rushed to within easy kicking distance of the Torrington goal. Ba- ker was called back from the line to attempt a field goal. It was a fake play, Baker trying to skirt the end. He was nailed. and the ball lost to the visitors. Torrington kicked out of immediate danger, the Thunderbolts again working the pig skin within easy haflfng distance. Again Baker was called back to attempt field goal, and again tried the fake by making an end run. Torrington was on to the play, Baker being nailed before he could make his yards. With the spheriod on the visitors 40 yard line time was called for the first period, the goals being changed.
 Thunderbolts worked the ball to the one yard line where it was lost on downs. From behind his own goal posts, Miller kicked out. but the wind

BASEBALL DEATHS COMPARED WITH
 YEARS FOOTBALL
List Shows 21 Fatalities or Dia- nlond, Seven Less Than on
 the GridirOn For 1910 Season
Especial from United Press.l

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Footban is ike Iy to be robbed of it's most gruesome distinction; that of being the deadlf- est of all outdoor sports, according to statistics of baseball fatalities for the season of 1910, compiled today.
 The list shows 21 baseball fatalities for the year, which is within seven of the number of football deaths recorded last year. Football deaths for the present season are propor- tionately far below the record for 1909 and it is likely that this seasons baseball deaths will exceed the num- Der of victims claimed by football.
 One of the baseball deaths was ++~+ ~>e T-77onire Philip Forney who was hit over the eye with a pitched bail at Fl Reno, Okla. Most of the ,.t atGsr were from players being struck by pitched and batted balls. Three of the deaths credited to the game. were not directly baseball fatalities, being due to a riot between negro teams in Georgia.

Especial from United Press.)

Belmont Aviation Field, L. l., Oct. 31-Though barred from winning the Thomas Fortune Ryan prize of $10,000 for a flight around the Statue of Lib erty and return to the aviation field, Claude Grahame-White was expected to make another flight across New York today to prove that he could lower the time made yesterday by John B. Moissant.
 Grahame-White made the B mile trip in 35:2 in his 100 horsepower Blerfot- He demanded the right to try again but Moissant's protest was upheld by the contest committee. which ruled that Grahame- White could not fly ing, though popular with the public, did not meet with the approval of those who had carefully studied the rules which contained no provision to limit the number of flights.
 GErahane- Whites flight totalled about 40 miles. owing to the circuit estimated at nearly TO miles an hour. He finished 6 1-2 minutes ahead of Count De Lesseps, although the latter took more direct course.
 The 100000 people, who watched the flight from Belmont. cheered the Eng lishn1an as the winner and ruefulIy re- gretted that America had lost another great prize in aviation.
 All the time little Johnny Mois- sant sat in front of his hangar conff- dently expecting Charles K. Hamilton. enter the contest. Moissant's only racing machine, in which he might have flown, had been wrecked early in the day But the little CIFica goan proved to be resourceful as well as patriotic. His brother opened nego- tiations with Fred 1e Blanc and paid the latter $10.o00 for his 50 h. D. Blertot. This machine. in which he had never even made a practice flight Moissant took away toward the start. When he crossed the finish line on his return, for a few moments Moissant was cheered only as a man who did his best but failed. Then the official figures were posted and when it was

The owl was in former times gen. orally regarded as an omen of nis- fortune or death, but as the Egyptians represented Minerva under the form Of an owl the Athenians, who were under the care of this goddess, looked upon the appearance of the owl as a favorable omen. It therefore formed upon the ancient coins referred to the symbol of Athens and her foreign pos sessions.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Minnesota and Michigan will fight it out this year for the western football champion ship. Minnesota's overwhelming vic- tory over Chicago, PA to o, and to 0, show conc1usiveIy that these teams are in the front rank of west ern football. Should Minnesota win by a decisive score, western football will take rank well up with the east ern game. zs
 Coach Yost, of the Wolves, will work from now on to build up the attack of this team, which SO far, has not compared favorably with the powerful attack developed by Coach Williams at Minnesota.
