Two GAMES
Won By Mt. Vernon From
Utica On Sunday
A Large Crowd Of ROoters
Saw The Game

Mt. Vernon mad little trouble in de-
feating the Utica team Sunday after
noon, taking both games, IL to Q and
10 to 2. The second game was called
in the seventh inning on account Of
darkness.
The Utica team has on three oc-
casions defeated the "Bearcats" of
this city, composed practically of reg
ular Mt. Vernon players. 1t was then
a distinct surprise that they were TAX
en- into camp so easily on Sunday af-
ternoon.
Utica presented q strong linee-up
and really put UP a good article Of ball
most of the time. A succession OF
hits bothered them and they lacked
the ability to settle down in tight
places and usually went to pieces
when the locals filled the bases.
Householder and Bowden twirled
for the locals, while Utica used Fritch
and smoots IN tAe first game and
"Toddy" Richardson in the second
Fritch was batted out of the box by
Mt. Vernon in the fifth inning Of the
first game. Pierce and Lake caught
the two games for the Licking county
lads, while Thompson held up the re
ceiving end for Mt. Vernon.
There was much heavy hitting dur
ing the games. Sullivan Tailed 9
home run on a ball that stayed inside
of the fence. Tiger slammed out {
triple, while Pierce of Utica did the
same.
There was large crowd of rooter'
up from Utica and all were sadly dis
appointed at the showing made b!
their club.

D. r. ANTHONY OF KANSAS.

D. 4. ANTHONY OF KANSAS.
members Of the military committee,
and around the capitol there is consid-
erable feeling that this government
cannot afford to be without this unit
of war equipment
ITO my mind" said Representative
Anthony, there can be no doubt that
any up to date army must be equipped
with armored automobiles. The things
that have been accomplished through
their use In Europe have demonstrated
that as engines of modern warfare
they are indispensable. This Is strik-
ingly so In connection with all cavalry
movements. Nobody can question the
advantage Of having fast moving vehi-
cles which can carry fighting men and
keep them impregnable to rife fire.
81 understand that one of the argu-
ments against the use of these cars in
the United States is that our terrain.
the lay of the land. is not suitable for
their use. This. 1t seems to me. is an
untenable objection. The country over
the terrain Of the United States does
offer more obstacles than that Of Eu-
rope because the present battlefields OF
Europe are network OF improved
highways. But there are many areas
where hostilities might take place in
this country that are exactly suited to
the use of the automobile.
ut must be remembered that an
armOred car Is not the ordinary touring
car. 1t is not built, for instance, with
pneumatic tires. and 1t can traverse
open and rough country with facility.
1t can even go through the panel Of a
fence without being stopped. and 1t can
do away with the efficiency Of barbed
wire fences. distractions which our
American troops encountered with
such fatality In the Spanish war.
Properly equipped with sufficient
ly low speed. the cars could climb steep
hills, Offering absolute protection to
their occupants from rifle fire and 0rdi
nary machine gun shots, thus accom-.
plishing a movement which would be
impossible to cavalry and at the same
time throwing deadly fusillade into
| the enemy.
"As life saving devices the armored
automobiles seem to me to be the great
est war invention we have had fol
some time In an armored car fOul
men can be transported at high rate
, of speed to the point from which the
attack seems to be made and can han
die their rapid fire machine guns will
practically no danger from hostile fire
1t does not require much Imagination
! to realize with what deadly efficiency
100 or 200 OF these cars could operate
against the enemy. They would be Of
prime Importance In protecting q re
treat. because they can be constructed
so that their fire can be directed from
either front or rear, and. being armOr
ed. they would form sort of moving
fertilization. a screen behind which thu
retreating troops could operate.
''The time may soon come wher
much of the military work done by tn,
horse will be accomplished through til,
] instrumentalIty OF the armored car, fo
arlnored cars can pull greater weightl
than can horses and can hold positions
which would be impossible for cavalry
When this time does arrive 1t woult
be great mistake TO have this c0un
try behind all others In such valuable
and essential equipment"

KENYON WON

Gambierr, Oct. 12-Kenyon defeated
Wittenberg here Saturday, IL to O..
Kenyon was severely handicapped
owing to the loss of its regular back
field. Due to the death of his father,
Olenberg left for home Friday. Gregg
cannot play because of parental objec-
tions and Kelley was put out OF the
game for rough play four minutes af-
ter the game started. The second
string backfield, with the exception of
Vance, was slow and unable to gain
consistently.
The game was characterized by ex.
tremely rough play on both sides.
Time after time the game was delayed
owing to injuries of the players. Kel-
ley, Kenyon, and Kimball, Wittenberg,
engaged in a rough tumble fist fight
early in the game, both men being put
of the field.
Owing to the sloppy condition OF
the field, good, clean football was an
impossibility. Kenyon scored in the
first quarter after gaining the ball on
Wittenberg's l5-yard line from 8
fumbled punt. Vance then circled the
right end for the first touchdown
During the next two quarters, Kenyon
lost several chances to score, owing t.
the green backfield being unable tt
push the ball over.
! On the kickoff in the last quarter
Schafer recovered a tumble ON Wit
tenberg's 20-yard line, two forward
passes netted 15 yards and Dell buck
cd 1t over. For Kenyon, Kinder wa,

Gayer also played well. Ihrig ant
