No Date For Examination.
Arrangements for the civil service
examination are now i'm the hands of
the civil service department. and the
inspector is unable TO state just when
or where the examination will be held.
1t is likely however, that it will take
place some time this month
There will be three carrier routes es-
tablished as mentioned i'm The News
a short time ago. Eighteen mail boxes
will be placed throughout the town,
also two combination letter and parcel
boxes I'm the business section. The To-
cation Of these boxes will be announc-

Mr. Otto proposed to remain In Cal
umct for one week and will look after
the various details connected with the
establishment of the service here. lie

Old Eli VIII Be Pointed BY Tom Shev-
lin and Heffelfinqer.


New Haven, Conn, Nov. 9.-Tom
Shcvlin Yale's former football cap
tain and coach, is today on his way
East to take charge Of the coaching
situation here Shevlin's advent last
year checked Yale's Waterloo after
the Brown defeat, marshaled the dis
organized Ell forces and swung them
together in an attack that moved
down Princeton ana Cutplayed Har-
ward. la Sheylin's gripsack are some
new plays that will figure in the Yale
repertory during the annual games this
season.
Fudge Henelfnger Yale's greatest
guard, also has sent word that ne will
be here soon. He and Shevlin live In
Minneapolis the home of Harry VIII
lams, coach of Minnesota university
and the father of the tackles back
and the tackles shift formations.
Coincident with the arrival of Shev-
lin, the Yale eleven will go behind
closed gates for the season, and the
field will not be open to the public
except on two or three afternoons.
The Yale coaches who watched the
game last Satur-
day maintain that the Princeton Yale
game will be the real championship
contest of the year, and that defeat
lis much more likely than in the Yale
Harvard battle.

FOR THANKSGIVING DAY.
Chickens May Be Lower-Turkcys
About The Same.

From present indications there will
be no decrease i'm the price of turkeys
for Thanksgiving, over the prices
which prevailed one year ago, accord
ing to a well known Laurium retailer.
1t Is too early for definite prices TO be
announced, but the Thanksgiving day
birds are about as scarce this year as
they were last.
The fact that turkeys are in de-
mand at all seasons of the year for
special luncheons has much to do with
the high prices which have prevailed
for several seasons past. according to
It's dealer The turkey raising in
dustry has hardly kept pace with The
increase i'm consumption, and the fact
that II Is now possible to keep birds
i'm good condition for several months
in refrigeratars has much to do with
the high prices. when turkeys are
plentiful the surplus stock
in usually placed I'm storage and there
Is no appreclable decrease in cost.
Chickens probably will be slightly
lower in price this year due to the in
crease of interest in poultry raising
the country. From present
other produce usually asso-
ciated with the THANKSGIVING day din
ner will be about the same price in
the markets this year

ONE HARD WALLOP
STOPS FIGHTERS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

one little wallop oftimes stops short
The career OF a prospective champion
says Otto Floto. Young Sayior of In
dianapolis was touted as the coming
lightweight after his battle with Nell
son in Omaha. He went TO New or
leans. and there Joe ManGot floored
him for the count. His championship
aspirations were knocked into cooked
hat with just that one little wallop that
generally tells its own story. True,
Sayior may come back and make good.
but he has received a check that will
be annoying to him at this time.
Remember when Kid Mccoy went To
Chicago and met Mccormick at the cid
star theater. Mccormick had no more
chance to defeat Mccoy than the av-
eragc fighter did. Yet he swung a hay
maker and down went Mccoy for the
count in the very first round. True.
Mccoy came back and made good af-
forwards, but he lost a great deal OF
ground recovering
Where was there a fighter that was
going better and winning easier than
Young Corbett until he met Battling
| Nelson in San Francisco? The beat
ing he received that night put him
out of !t forever afterwards. Nelson
wasn't conceded a chance by Corbett;
that's why the defeat was so singing
IN it's results.
After they fe the effects Of that
wallop that sends them down and out
for the count, they never come back
! with that same self-confdence that
they possessed prior to the fatal occur
| renee that is continually recalled to
ring. 1t will be so with Sayior in the
future.

POSTAL INSPECTOR SAYS LAURI-

Every. II is splcndidly located for this

FLORIDA i'm the recommendation for free

sidewalks" said Postal Inspector Otto
Of Marquette yesterday, when inter-
viewed by a representative of The
News relative to the establishment of
free delivery i'm the village Mr. Otto
assured the reporter that no time
would be lost in arranging the prelim-
mary details, which are more compli-
Gated than most people suppose, but
he would not venture to predict a date
when the service will be in operation.
I'm explaining the status of the Flor
ida situation, the inspector stated that
il would not be necessary for the resi-
dents 10 go to the expense Of installing
cement sidewalks, but that wooden
walks, even two planlls adjacent to one
another would prove sufficient. 1t is
absolutely essential, however, that
walks be installed and that an ade-
Quate lighting system be established.
Up To Township Board.
Florida's shortcomings in meeting
the requirements for free delivery will
be taken up with the township board.
As Florida is a part of Calumet town
ship, it Is believed the problems should
be at least partially solved by the
township authorities. Several of the
township officials have already been
Interested i'm the matter and it is pos
sible that the situation will be formal
ly considered soon This does not mean
however that the residents will have
no responsibility themselves i'm the
matter. An adequate numbering sys-
tenn is greatly needed, although Mr..
otto places no special stress upon this
feature
Mail rcceptacles are also required.
This applies to Florida and Laurium
and also TO Red Jacket. According to
ruling made by the postoflice depart
mcnt recently, all persons whose mail

MILE WILL NEVER BE
RUN IN 4 MIN. 10 SEC.


There are four men i'm this country
who are capable of running a mile in
4:1O. These men are John Paul Jones,
Wilton Paul, Melvin sheppard and Abe
Kiviat."
This is the opinion Of such great
trainers as Mike Murphy and Lawson
Robertson, yet George Mcdonald, man
.ager of Matt Wells, the English pugil-
list, says that no man will ever run a
mile in that time.
Il was a trainer of professional foot
runners for a number of years i'm Eng
land" says Mcdonald "and | was ra-
ther amused when I read an article in
which Melvin Sheppard, your great
middle distance runner, declared the
time would come when the mile would
be run i'm minutes 10 seconds. Real
ly / very much doubt that a mile will
ever be run in so fast a time.
Nv. G.. George, the countryman Of
mine, who made worldwide reputa-
tion as an amateur distance runner,
and, later on, running as profession
al, established the worlds mile record
by travelling the distance in minutes
12h seconds. was probably the great
est runner that ever lived, and l am
quite positive that 4:10 would have
been an impossible feat even FOR him

as of Sacramento will receive a trial

Smith does not think very much OF
Iany of the first sackers Of the Coast
League, but picks Rapps of Portland
as the best. jim Mcclure looked him
over and decided that he was not big
league material Peckngpaugh is the
choice for shortstop, because of his
sensational fielding and also because
he batted better than the other short
fielders in the league. Weaver, once
the property of the Maps, is given con-

he was not a team worker
Witt, drafted by Detroit is given the
preference at third base, while the

the Portland club and Hoffman of
Oakland. Ryan, says Smith, stands
alone among the outfielders.
