Broken in Auto Mishap.

Des Moines. Oct. eO.-F'or the 'steenth

notion to act in an unseemly and sur
p.ising manner. AS the result Of its
latest caper the mayor Is confined to
his home with broken ankle.
The accident occurred while the
mayor was in the act OF cranking the
machine. AS he turned the crank over
his young son. who was playing In the
seat. showed back the sparker and with
q vicious lunge the crank swung back.
The mayor was in such position that
his ankle was caught by the blow and
the ffbula bone in his left ankle was
fractured.
DR.. Ell Grimes attended the city ex-
ecutive and set the broken bone. He
announced that the fracture would
keep the mayor In confinement for at
least a week. At the end of that time
he may be able to get about on
clutches but it will he no less than
month before he can resume active
work,

payers - Points Out Steps Com
rnandsd by Law.

Des Moines, Oct. 20.--When the agi-
tation against the road law was start
ed in Fremont county and petitions
We're circulated asking the governor
to call a special session Of the legis-
lature to repeal the law, it was not
anticipated that the state highway
commission would tell its story. But
the commission did that in statement
made public Saturday night.
This explains the commissions atti-
tude toward the tight on the road law
in Fremont county:
Turn the full searchlight of pub
licity on the bridge building methods
that have been in vogue in Fremont
county; let the truth, the whole truth,
about conditions there be known. not
merely half of it or less than half"
It was explained that the Fremont
county fight was begun by persons
other than road officials. but the ones
responsible for road building are the
ones who caused the commission to
take its stand. They failed to comply
with the law, it is said and the COM
mission demanded that they comply
Fremont's Charges.
The commissions answer is to the
following charges:
Undue interference by the highway
commission with the bridge affairs OF
Fremont county.
Revision Of good enough" bridge
plans by upstairs sent out from Ames
college," who demand $4,000 bridges
where cheaper ones will do.
Unjustif1ed demands for especially
deep foundations for the Horse creek
bridge, the construction of which was
attended by . cavein resulting in the
death Of one workman.
THAT there has been interference
in the bridge affairs of Fremont county
(and many other counties.) the COM
mission freely admits, but this Is only
half the. truth. The commissions dis
trict engineer for southwest Iowa found
that three Of the six large steel bridges
ordered by the supervisors were bought
illegally. There was no resolution or
necessity, no record OF the orders in the
minutes Of the board, no estimates OF
cost and no plans on file for these
bridges in the auditors office, yet one

When the proposition TO NUMBER
football players was advanced in the
East, Capt. Ketcham of Yale, in right
eous wrath, rose up and yowled that
football wasn't played for the bene-
fit of the newspapers or public, but
was intended to promote friendllness
between college men.
And now we learn that the new
Yale stadium will cost pile of coin,
and that the only way the authori-
ties see to get their money back is
to stage some games that will draw
well at the box Office. Along with
this information we are wised to the
fact that Yale cleaned up $4,000 in
the Princeton and Harvard games.
These 10000 iron men were con-
tributed by the public, whose interest
in football was kept alive by the
newspapers.
The high cost of college athletics
may mean a game between Chicago
and Yale next season. Walter Camp,
Yale's athletic guardian, is on his
way to this village, and will confer
with Coach Stage Of the Maroons.
Stage is former Yale man, and this
fact, together with the prestige the
Maroons attained by winning the
Conference title, would make them
big drawing cards in a game with Old
Eli. 1t would be played at New Haven,
of course.
When they need the coin Capt. Ket-
cham and other Yale seem to awaken
to the fact that there is public, and
also that there are few settlements
west of the eastern terminal of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
Michigan will not play PennsyI-
vania in Chicago next fall. This state
ment was given out by Wolverine
athletic authorities yesterday There
is agitation for a game in Chicago,
with the Maize and Blue as one of
the contestants, and some college

From an unexpected source comes
a denial Of reports of numerous big
league players signing with the Fed
erals. Dave Fultz, president of the
players organization, who has been
mentioned as the future head of the
third league, says the players are not
signing.
DaVey explains that so far the Feds
have not submitted copy of their
contracts for the approval of the or
ganization, and that IS per cent of
the athletes whose contracts have ex-
pired have agreed not to hook up
with anyone until the executive board
decides they are getting a fair deal.
1t is expected that the Federal con-
tracts will be submitted to the or
ganizatiOn next week, and DaVey
opines that the exodus of players
from organized ball may then begin
in earnest.
There is a chance for Qualification
of the middleweight muddle, and the
settling of one champion firmly on
the throne of the class.
Billy Papke, former titIe-hoIder,
and the man who gave Stanley Ket-
chel his best battles, is coming back,
and will celebrate with a match
against George Chip of Scranton.
Certainly the charge cannot be
made that Papke is looking for
soft one to open up with. Chip is
about the hardest nut in the middle
weight division at present. He flop
ped Frank Klaus, and recently clean
ed up Tim O'Neill in a Wisconsin
bout.
The winner of a Papke-chip bout
can make match for the champion
ship. Jan. II is the date the two boys
have selected to lock horns, and Mil
Waukee will be the scene of histiIities.
