able source, Owner William Grayson

accepted by the Paducah baseball
men. He will assume all of the debts
of the club, and will put a pennant-
winning team in the McCracken cap

GAME FORFEITED.
Crowds On Field Break Up
Contest at Paducah.
Delayed Till Darkness Came
and the Visitors Refused
to Play Any Longer.

The game of football at Paducsh
Thursday between Hopkinsville and
Paducah High schools was forfeited
to Paducah on account of crowds on
the field and darkness. The players
were given no police protection and
the rules were repeatedly violated
and the game interfered with by the
spectators crowding upon the field.
The delays protracted the game
until darkness made it impossible to
play longer. A Paducah report
says neither team scored in the first
half, but after few minutes play
in the second half Browning made
Paducah's first touchdown and fol-
lowed it by kicking goal. King made
Paducsh's next touchdown, shortly
after which darkness ended the
game.
The result makes Hopkinsville tied
with Paducah. Madisonville tied
with Paducah and Madisonville won
the only game played with Hopkins
vile. If Hcpkinsville should defeat
Madisonville in another game all
three teams would be tied. AS it is
Msdisonville has the best claim.

ing. Proctor is an epileptic and
will probably make his way to his

AS stated in the Kentuckian Tues
day, Miles escape was sensational.
VIM. H. Davenport, the attendant
in charge, was keeping Miles under
his eye. Proctor asked Miles for a
needle and thread to sew his coat
and as Davenport turned his back to
enter workroom, Miles and Proc
ter sprang upon him, stifed his cries
and oyerpowered him. Securely
tying ~ hands and feet with strips
torn fVym bed clothes and gagging
him with the same material, they
pitched bin on a bed, putting a
mattress on top of him. With the
keys which they had taken from his
pockets they opened the door Of the
ward and made their way to liberty
through the corridors. the arrange
ment Of the stairs making it possible
to reach the ground without being
observed from any of the other
wards.

door, which had been left open, to
an adjacent ward, where he was
freed and the escape alarm sounded.
Miles, who is son Of J. A. Miles,
of Bennettstown, was in the asylum
8 years ago for awhile. He made
his escape and joined the army, but

nut streets in Louisville one night
last March. He met the girl in
Evansville and took her to Louisville,
where they represented themselves
as having been married. He had a
wife and child in Tennessee. Mrs,
Miles went to Louisville and her
husband sought to solve the compli-
cation in which he found himself by
killing his paramour while they were
taking walk on the street.
He was sentenced to death but
was given a new trial and sentenced
to the Eddyville penitentiary for
life. He had been there but few

FEARS DELUGE OF STAGE FOLK
License Commissioner in Doubt as to
New Law Regarding Contracts.

Unless Corporation Counsel Watson comes
to the rescue, Herman Robinson, Commits
s1oner of Licenses, will soon have a string
of stage performers lining up outside his
door and reaching into City Hall Park A
new law that has just gone into operation
provides that ''all contracts entered into
between managers and players shall be ap-
proved by the Mayor and the Commissioner
of Licenses. Mr.. Robinson believes this
means only that the forms of contract shall
be approved. But some managers and the
atrical agents hold that the law calls for
the approval of each individual contract,
The Corporation Counsel has been asked to
settle the question. and if possible draw up
standard contract forms. Meantime the
business of making contracts for the COM
ing season is being delayed.
IF I am not right in my opinion said
Commissioner Robinson yesterday. there
is no end of trouble ahead. Some $500 con-
tracts a month are usually entered into in
this city about this time of the year. We
could not possibly approve each one and
do anything else"
The new law provides that only per cent
may be demanded for putting through any
contract and it must be divided between
whatever agencies may be engaged. Here
tofore each agency involved charged per
, cent.
