portant session of the Kentucky state
racing commission will be held at Lex

it will join in the request. Latonia and
Lexington have been ordered to bring

to show cause why the increase should
be granted

minimum to $4,000 and for purses
from $400 to not less than $500.

ming p to o

SEATTLE. Dec 26.-The Oak Park
high school eleven demonstrated the
superiority of Chicago football over
that Of the Pacific coast today by de-
feating the Wenatchee. Wash. eleven.
p to 0. Wenatchee was Outclassed at
every point by the Chicago boys. but
the game was made interesting by the
brilliancy with which the Oak Park
team unfolded play after play that had
never before been seen on a western
gridiron. Oak Park scored three times
on touchdOwns. kicking one goal. and
twice on place kicks. Wenatchee never
got nearer Chicago's goal than the 25
yard line. and that only once
Wenatchee, hitherto undefeated. had
a slight advantage in weight. but the
team work was poor. the boys were
slow on their feet, and at times
seemed TO suffer from stage fright
Oak Parks startling plays went or
like clockwork. and the rapidity with
which they introduced new tricks
showed that they were not dependent
upon any particular style OF play. The
forward pass was frequently resOrted
to by both sides. but where Wenatchee
made miserable failures OF its attempts
Oak Park carried the plays through
with precision.
Cotter, left tackle: Gree. quarter:
Russell. right half. and Rice. fuIIback.
were the stars OF the Oak Park team.
None of the Wenatchee players showed
to advantage
The Chicago team started the game
with rush and would have scored in
the first quarter but for the interfer-
ence of the bell. Wenatchee held them
at the beginning Of the second quar-
ter, but soon gave way. The rest of
the game was all Oak Park
The crowd was the largest that ever
attended a high school game in Seattle
and was the most disOrderly that ever
occupied the bleachers on Denny field.
AS the one sided game approached the
end the spectators became more in
terested in the red apples distributed
by the Wenatchee boosters. who came
on special train. and the crowd was
soon in an uproar. The student police
of the University of Washin gton. who
patrolled the Held. were unable to
handle the situation, and the crowd
/ broke into the field before the game
was over. Oak Park had Just made a
touchdown, and the game was called
with eight minutes to go.
Oak Park will leave Wednesday
night for Portland. where they play

Stanford Defeated on a

couver defeated the Stanford university
Rugby players today in the first of the
holiday week games by a score Of 13
to 6. The field was slippery and the
work was necessarily. confined to the
forwards. Vancouver won because the
men were more at home under the con-
ditions. The Stanford back division
did not have chance to show it's abiI-
ity and the forwards were outplayed
most of the time. The game was de-
void of spectacular features. Van
couver scored in the first minutes play
and at the end of the first half was
in the lead, 5 to g. The play in the
last half was more evenly balanced.
Both teams went over for try, but

FINE MUSIC A FEATURE
AT MEETING ALL WEEK
Services Will Continue On
Next Week.

The Bass-Stapleton meeting at the
First Methodist church has been Of
special interest the past two days
and on Thursday night the lower floor
of the church was crowded and many
were forced to go into the gallery
to secure seats, as was the case the
night before also.
Mr.. Bass took for his text Mark
1886, 81. His subject was "The Lost
Soul" He began by showing that a
soul is valuable because of the price
that Jesus paid for it's redemption
the love of God and of the life and
death of Christ.
Mr.. Bass methods are different
from those of any evangelist who
has ever been to Americas, and the
congregations are being uplifted and
delighted with his strong preachin,
and pleasing manner of conducting his
meeting.
Much comment is being made on the
singing done by the large chorus and
congregation. Not in many years has
there been such singing in the con
gregation as in this meeting.
The solo sung by Mr.. stapleton en-
titled Drifting Away From Cod was
exceedingly impressive. His solo, "a
Sing Because I'm Happy" was hearth
ly commented upon.
The announcements for TODAY and
Sunday are:
Chdldrens' chorus rehearsal at $3.50.
All children between the ages of 10
and II years invited.
AT 10 a. m. Rev. Bass will talk to
the children on "The Magnetic Power
OF Jesus" This is a talk which has
proven very attractive and helpful in
other cities and people of all ages
should hear it.
No services will be held this after
noon or tonight
Sunday services: II a. m. "fIonor-
ing God" Service at $3.50 for men and
boys on Moral Manhood" All men
should hear this address. Sunday
night service at 7:45.
Next Week a chtldrens' chorus will
sing at the afternoon service on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The
other Choir will sing on Tuesday and
Thursday and at night as usual.

SMITHS CANDIDACY
SEEMS TO BE FADING
Politicians Regard Ex-Gov-
ernOr As Out of Field.

Atlanta, Ga, April 22.-The state
political situation continues to be a
case Of talk. But there is at least
one more possibility to talk about.
Judge R. B. Russell of the State
Court Of Appeals is the most recent
prospective candidate for governor OF
Georgia. The judges friends are
talking about the likelihood of his
making the race, and the Judge him.
self admits there is something in the
talk.
He will not have anything definite
to say, but he does not deny that he
is thinking about it. He is now
serving a six-year term on the bench
to which he was elected in 1908. and
which he would no doubt resign if
he should enter the governorship
race.
Judge Russell, it will be recalled,
ran for governor in 1906; he was one
OF the three candidate outdistancad
by Hoke Smith. He carried only half
dozen counties in that race. Pre-
Yiously he ran for chief justice of the
State Supreme Court and was defeat
ed by Chief Justice T. J. Simmons. In
his race for the State Court of Ap-
peals he won by good vote and drew
the short term-two years Then ne
was elected for long term of six
years, which he is now serving.
Gossip also continues to center
around Controller General William A.
Wright as a possible candidate, but
Captain Wright's position remains I'M
changed; that he would be glad 10
run for governor if he were sure he
could get it, otherwise he would pre-
fer to retain his strong hold upon his
present office, which from a pacun-
larry standpoint is one of the best
In the state capitol. He is simply in
the attitude of waiting for the situa-
ton to develop.
Report has it today that Hoke
Smith is getting further and further
away from the notion OF making the
race; that it is more than likely thar
he will keep out of it, leaving the run
ming to some other representative Of
his views yet to be selected. This
may change again tomorrow and bring
him back into it, but just now his can
didacy looks about as distant as if
viewed through the wrong end of an
opera glass.
Gov. Brown continues to say moth
ing, and others don't seem to know
just where to place him. His candi-
wacy seems definitely assured as
it did a month ago when his friends
expressed the view that he could be
counted on to be in the race.
No word has yet come from Chair
man Hewlett Hall of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee. If he had decided
on the first week of May for the meet
ing, the call would have been issued
by now. Evidently he has decided
to wait until the middle or latter
part of May.
All in all it may be considered that
the campaign will be well opened by
about the first of June.
