CHICKASHA
SPONCINC
OFF STATE?

One OF the ravorite arguments
against the state schools is the asser-
tion that they are mere high schools
and are used by the towns in which
they are located to take the place Of
local high schools. "Why should the
state pay for maintaining a high
high school in one town any more than
in another?' is asked.
AS far as chiekasha and Women's
College is concerned. this argument Isl
based upon pure ignorance or wilful
misrepresentation chickasha main
tains high school with a four years
course, It is housed in building thar
cost about $4,000 and is Of such
standing that its graduates are ad-
mitted without examination to the
state university and the University of
Chicago. If the college were being
used to take the place of the high
school, the enrolment Of the latter
school would show It but instead Of
this. the high school enrolment shows
q steady increase since the college
was opened four year ago.
supt Ramey Of the public schools
furnishes the following figures on
high school enrolment IN Chickasha.

Knocks for Inter-League Series
No Friends for Herrmann's Plan

y UT, as Messrs. Lynch and John
- son agree, there is one big dis
advantage.
The Worlds Series has come to be
regarded as the Baseball Classic. 1t
is the short sharp, crucial encounter
that settles for all time between two
particular clubs which shall enjoy the
title of worlds champion of certain
year.
The settlement may not suit every
body. But as matter of history the
better club usually wins. And. any
way, the affair is settled in the good
American way-in a short. sharp, de-
cisive action.
pREXY LYNCH fances the long
drawn out interleague season
would result In a great loss of inter
est, with the contests becoming mere
local series, not of national impor-
lance"
Prexy Ban already had voiced a
similar opinion.
And now even Jawn j. McGraw,
who has a right to be sore on the
present system II anybody has. lines
up with the powers that be and chimes
in at the top of his lungs for a Worlds
Series.
Which. by the way, reminds one
that even the losers "cut" is worth
having.

SUPREME OVER

NTEW YORK, Oct. 27.-HarVard
NJ to-day reigns supreme IN the
Eastern section of the football
world with Dartmouth second,
Princeton third and Yale and Penn
sylysnia about tied for fourth place.
one of the big regrets of this sea-
son is that Harvard and Dartmouth
for the first time in many years, will
moi meet. Just now it looks as if the
champion must be chosen from be-
ween these two teams, and not from
among Harvard, Princeton and Yale,
as in former years.
Each new contest in which Har-
yard figures more forcibly demon
strates the fact that the Crimson
squad this year is one of the best
football aggregations ever gathered
ogether-a team that has a stone
wall defense and a smashing, dash
ING offense that no opponent this year
has been able to stop.
THE Dartmouth aggregation, by its
| to victory over the speedy
Princeton outfit, has demonstrated
beyond a doubt that 1t is now a team
hat ranks second only to Harvard,
and MANY there are who believe that
The heavy New Hampshire team, II
sent against the Crimson, would come
out winner.
Prinoeton's defeat Saturday was a
crushing blow to its supporters, who
looked for a victory, or, at least, a
tie score The muddy condition Of
The field greatly handicapped the Ii
gers. who depend very largely on
their speed, but it was about as large
handicap to the Dartmouth boys,
who were unable to use the forward
pass, one OF the main dependencies, to
any great extent.
|CATURDAY was a day of surprises
y and one in which the dope"
was upset and scattered in seventeen
directions. Everywhere throughout
the East the games were played In
Quagmires, but this gave one side as
much advantage as the other. Per-
haps on a dry field the results, how
ever. might have been different.
Next to Princeton's defeat by Dart
meath the mort surprising result was
the to Yale and Washington and
Jefferson score. The Ellis looked for
miserable showing made by the Bull
dogs has thrown the coaches into de-
Ispair. This was the second time this
season the heavy Yale outfit was
played to a standstill, the little Maine

THE Girl and the Pennant" Is ths
joint effort of the Giants famous

By Sam Crane.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-A bail
trade! or he thinks so, any
how. In fact, think a player. would
throw over" load of empty barrels
and call it Jonah instead of a mas
cot If he lost his mitt.
And that would be going some.
There was kid" Elberfeld, the
Yankees shortstop a few years ago,
who would face a spiked shin with
equanimity and gloat over the scars
still he would weep salty tears If his
glove was missing. And, mind you,
that glove was only frame-a wreck.
1t had nothing but an outer edge. The
fingers of it might have been whole
and intact, but the palm of the glove
was-the ambient. 1t was as wide
open as the wide, wide world. And
yet the kid thought he couldn't play
without that fragile, f1imsY protection
of nothingness
That old saying of funny critics,
that all he had was a glove" was
trlte with the kid.
More Than Superstition.
And at that there is more than SUI
perstition in it.
ne NOTSl Insult another prayer car
hurl at an opponent after the latter
muffs ball is to have an opposing
player say: why don't you take the
rubber out of your glove?"
The last thing in baseball para
phernalia a ball player will give up
is his glove. He mourns the loss
of 1t more than the Harlem small boy
does the demise of his grandmother
the day before the opening game Of
the Worlds Series.
Just as an incident to put more
emphasis on that, we will tell about a
little thing that happened TO Mike
Donlin this fall.
Made Good With Homer.
Now, Mike is no spring chicken in
baseball and neither IS he a has
been" There Is lot OF good base
ball still left in Sir Michael. He has
a glove that has enwrapped his star
board flipper ever since the Giants
beat out the Athletics for the worlds
championship in 1905.
That may be a long way back TO
refer to, but as the result OF later eff
