POLO MATCH IS
CALLED OFF FOR
This AFTERNOON

There viii be no polo at Moanalua
this afternoon, the third match of the
inter-island tournament in which the
4th Cavalry and 1st Field Artillery
teams were to have met having been
called of this morning Rain has
played havoc with the field, and il is
unsafe for the ponies. In addition,
even If the footing had been firm
enough to play the match would have
cut up the field and put it out
of commission for some time to come.
The Cavalry-Artillery game will not
be played until the Maui-Oa match
for the championship has been decided
according to arrangements made this
morning. If possible, this event will
come of Saturday as scheduled and
the army game can then be staged
Monday or Tuesday.

the statement that even If the war

have set back the cause of Olympic

MANY SMALL men STAR
I'm THE MAJOR CIRCUITS

Some one has revived the question
Whether big men OF little men play
the better baseball The question ais
good deal like the one discussed
among. players. whether nine Walter
Johns0ns could beat nine Ty Cobbs.
But It Is interesting
One can pick q little" team that
probably would win, a tall team the
same way and the big team Just as
easily.
Undoubtedly the style of ball play
ers now runs to the strong, big fell
lows, especially in the pitching line.
Four cut of every five pitchers in the
the major leagues now are close to six
feet and 200 pounds Styles have
changed wonderfully. The managers
are after men with the weight and
strength to stand the wear and tear OF
q season, or of a dozen seasons, but
the little men are not barred.
Look over the lists: Arson, Della
hanty. Young, Comiskey. Williamson.

were giants of men Anson wanted
huge fellows with driving power be-
hind them. On the other hand. Hugh
Duffy was at his greatest at 140

153; McGraw was a little man; Grif-
nth, Cunningham, Radbgurne. Billy
Sullivan and scores OF great players
were small.
Tip o'Neill weighed SO pounds when

was Toad Ramsey. Michels. Tacks

lanky fellows.
So it doesn't seem to make much
difference. It is the spirit in the man,
rather than the size, that makes the
ball players, even though Arson, when
he released Hugh Duffy, remarked:
you are about seven inches and 100
pounds shy of being a great ball play

WILL GO TO COLFAX
Special Train Secured to Take
Spectators to Important Football
Game This Afternoon

The high school football team will
meet Colfax high at Colfax this
afternoon. The game will be the
most important of the season and
will probably decide the county
championship. A special train will
carry over 100 Pullman high school
"rooters" to Colfax at noon.
The Senior class surprised the
high school and incidentally put one
over on the Juniors when they had
their sneak day last Friday, thus
breaking the custom of having it in
the spring. They left the high school
decorated in their class colors,
orange and black, and shocks of
corn were placed around the stage
and verses were left in all the rooms
and on top of the desks in the as
sembly room.
The Halloween party given by the
Freshmen in honor of the Sophie
mores Saturday, October 81, was a
big success. The gymnasium was
beautifully decorated with pennants
corn shocks and Jack O. lanterns.
After a delightful entertainment.
sweet cider and doughnuts were
served. One of the surprises was
the dismissal at 1890 by Miss Ross
the Freshman class advisor
The high school debating society
organized Monday, November 2.
Grace Douglas was elected president
and George Mackie vice president
Mary Ellen Plaskett was chosen as
secretary and Will West as treas
urer The name chosen for the soci-
ETY. was that of Abraham Lincoln.

took unto himself a charming bride
at the home of his brother at Elk,
Wash. Or. Kinney, in an effort to
escape the narrowing experiences
into which the friends OF neWlyWeds

communicate his plans to his numer-
GUS Pullman friends, but in the dark
of night hied himself to Spokane,
from which place he took the train
for Elk, there to claim as a life COM
panion Miss Ellen Gaffney. The
popular physician congratulated him
self upon his cunning in evading the
Pullman testers, and was relating his
brilliant strategy to his brother and
the new Mrs. Kinney when the dep
uty sheriff at Elk raped gently on
the door of his brothers domicile
and demanded Or. Kinney as a
prisoner, displaying a legally execut-
ed warrant charging the doctor with
marrying under legal age. Despite
the fearful protestations of his bride
DR.. Kinney was taken from her pres
ence, hailed before an improvised
court and soon found guilty of the
charge by jury which may have
been prejudiced against him. He
was held in custody until the wee

c. y. AGETON WILL
MARRY NEW YORK GIRL
Former Pullman Boy Will Take
Bride to Cuba, Where He Is En-
gagged in Chemistry
Investigations

Pullman friends of Charles Nor
man Ageton, better known as
Prof" Ageton, this week received
invitations to his marriage to Miss
Aura May Chessington, which will
take place in New York City next
Wednesday. Mr.. Ageton is 1911
graduate from the chemistry depart
ment of the Washington State Col
lege, and is now in charge Of the
chemical department of the Central
Experiment Station of the Cuban
government, at Santiago de Las We
gas, Cuba, near Habana. Mr.. Age
ton is at present in the states doing
chemistry inyestigational work for
the Cuban government, but will soon
return with his bride to Cuba. In a
recent letter to The Herald man, Mr..
Ageton had the following to say re-
garding his new work:
Il left Porto Rico about the last
of May to come to Cuba, where | am
iiON W VI hlhS III inc C6ulIdl EADGIl-
ment Station near Habana Ga Esta-
cion Central Agronomica.) | was ap-
pointed as "Jefe del Departame nto
de Quimica de la Estacion Agronom-
lea, d" which means that have charge
of the chemical department.
There is an opportunity to do
some good work here if the station
can be kept free from the evil in
fluences of the politicians. The sta
ton grounds comprise something
more than 200 acres of land and the
equipment is fair. The office build
ing is an old Spanish barracks, so
large it makes one tired to walk
around the building. My laboratory
is in room which measures 40 by
go feet. The laboratory equipment
and apparatus is quite sufficient for
the work we contemplate doing.
There are four chemists in the de
partm ent, two young Cuban chem
lists, one young man from the states
and the unworthy jefe.' "
