ADDISON A GOAL TENDER.
Newly Arranged Arena Line Is
Expected To Be Superior to

Detroit gets its first taste OF Cana
dian hockey for this year, when the
krgonauts. OF Toronto, invade Ameri-
can ice and clash with the Detroit
seyen at the Arena Saturday night.
n The Argonauts are one or the fast-
81 OF the teams in the q. II. A. IN
<ermediate division. Last year they
were strong claimants for the cham
uIonship, losing out to the Eatons AT
~ a hard fight.
II is claimed that Addison, the for

fl the business and that he can show
any OF them something about the fine

Whether the hockey put up in the
And OF Uncle Sam can be compared
with that played in Canada Is a much
mooted question. The fans from across
the border are of the opinion that the
game the Americans see Is OF low

Maple Leaf There is only one way to
settle the question and that Is the
k.ethod employed by David A. Brown,
manager OF the Arena, namely, bring
ing the Canucks and the Americans to-
gether.
( There are few on this side of the
border prepared to say what the rela-
live merits OF the players from the
two countries are, for the reason that
few Americans have seen the best or
the over-the-line teams. But il hardly
appeals to the average fan as plaus-

Observations From
The Sporting Dome

All ha, Walter Camp. You're TWEEN
~ years behind the times. SO says
Coach Cayanagh OF Dartmouth. And.
too, the day is not far distant when
you and Caspar Whitney won't stir the
country with your football opinions.
Without a doubt, Camp and Whit
ney cannot expect TO remain at the
top OF the list OF authorities forever
The games must necessarily outgrow
them. Their firmly set ideas are not
subject To change as are those OF the
younger men, who are actively engag-
ed in the sport. They are probably re-
taTding the development OF the game
by their dominance in making the
rules. II will be welcome change 10
many TO see younger men take their
places
But as long as Camp and Whitney
remain interested in football their All
American teams will be the classics
OF the country. A precedent such as
has been established by them in this
matter cannot be broken, no matter
how competent or incompetent they
may be TO choose team representing
the best in the country.
And, evidently. Camp is not far off
in his opinions as TO the ability Of
players, for his prize team this fall
agreed almost exactly with that pick
ed by the greatest number OF eastern
experts.
Jimmy Dunn took a chance during
the bout OF his protege. Kohler with
Richie, at Cleveland. the other night

Sapulpa, Okla, Sept. II. - Rumors
that the Farmers and Merchants bank

bank failed to open its doors at the

nounced that the state banking board

later stated that the bank would prob

The bank is owned by two brothers,
Bates B. and Birch c. Burnett, promi-

details regarding the financial condi-

WOODROW WILSON
THE MAGNETIC

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 9.-One of the
great causes of Woodrow Wilson's sue
cess in life has been his ability to at
tract and retain the enthusiastic de-
Votion OF other men. There is some
thing about the personality OF the
man, mysterious something which.
for want of better word, we call per-
sonal magnetism, that binds to him
and his cause every generous soul with
whom he comes in contact. All his life
Mr.. Wilson has been a sort of storm
center about whom other men have
stood and conteded There may have
been dissensions ON other matters but
always there has been perfect accord
among his associates in love and loyal
ty to him
This quality of leadership was par
tcularly demonstrated in the pre-con-
vention presidential campaign. Mr..
Wilson had been less than two years
in public life. He was known only to
a comparative few as the president of
university, and yet, as the campaign
developed, leader after leader in every
state in the country cast their fortunes
in with him and burned their bridges
behind them. Conspicuous example in
point is Joseph b. Davies, secretary of
the national democratic committee and
manager of the yestern headquarters.
Mr.. Davies had been chairman of the
Wisconsin state central committee
and, in due time, succeeded to the ma
tional chairmanship Wisconsin de-
mocracy for years had been divided
and disorganized but, under the lead
ership of Mr. Davies, had become a
strong working, fighting organization.
When the Wilson candidacy was an
Mr.. Davies and his success
sor, Mr.. Frank B. Schultz, came out
openly for Wilson and, as has been
said, literally burned their bridges be-
hind them They not only announced
their preference for Governor Wilson,
but plunged into the campaign and
worked night and day not only in Wis
consin but in adjoining states.

NINE INNINGS
WITHOUT A SCORE

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 12.-The
Golden Rule team of Vinita and the
Seminole Indians of Seminole battlad
for nine innings yesterday at Athletic
park without scoring a run. Darkness
ended the contest.
A total of eight hits were made
throughout the whole game and none
of the sluggers got farther than first
on hit except Birch of the Seminoles
who knocked two-bagger 1t was a
pitchers battle from the start with
lineup of the Oklahoma State league
fame on the mound for Vinita and
Scott, formerly of the Salako Indian
team twirling for the Seminoles. Tin
cup famed thirteen men anl allowed
none to walk and Scott made seven
teen drop the bat and let two men
walk. Four hits were made of eacn
pitcher.
The Seminoles had an opportunity
to win in the ninth and lost it through
bonehead play by runner on third.
The runner was playing off before the
fly was caught and was put out before
he could return to the third sack. The
bases were full and the failure to
catch the fly would have meant at
least two scores for the Seminoles.
Two minor errors were made by the
Golden Rule team and three by the
Seminoles.
The Vinita team has been touring
Arkansas and Oklahoma and has a
record of but sixteen defeats in hun
dred games. The other team has won
twenty-eight of forty games. Both
teams contend that the game yester-
day was one of the hardest contested
they had played this season. Most
of the tlayers have been on semi-pro-
fessional teams.
The attendance yesterday afternoon
was not good because of other attrac-
tions and because few persons knew
of the playing ability of the contesting
teams. Three more games are sched
uled for the series this week and a
large crowd is expected at Athletic
park by the Woodmen under whose
aspices the attraction is staged.
