two points to their one, and that one
goal was made for them by one of our
own men. Had I coached our boys to
play the style of game as taught at
Yale we should have won, but it Is
not hockey, and desire to state that I
prefer to lose game rather than play
such tactics
Now, this sounds a good deal like
some of the old discussions we used to
hear in foot ball. The question is what
kind of a hockey game are we going
to have, or, rather, what kind do We
really want. for in the long run we get
what we desire in the form Of any
sport. I have heard many a man COM
plain that the tendency was to emas-
culate the game; that we were going
too far in eliminating personal con-
tact; that the game must have that
element in it. On the other hand,
have heard that the officiating was too
lenient. Now the main thing is certain
from the above comment and that is
that all do not understand the game in
the same way, that officials them
selves vary in their Interpretation and
rulings and that misunderstanding of
motive comes as it always does under
those conditions. Let rule makers and
officials get together and clear it up.

third indoor course which has been
constructed in the offices of John w.

Brawner has thrown it open to all of

Benz Has Some Hard Luck.
Joe Benz. thee rack spitball pitcher
of the Chicago White Sox, is strong
supporter of the theory that no ball
game is won until the last man is
out and your team has scored the most
runs. Near the close of last season
Joe had the truth of the theory twice
impressed upon him. In game with
Detroit the Tigers opened the first half
of the ninth three runs behind, the
score being to 0, in favor of Chicago.
For eight innings Benz had held the
hard-hitting Tigers helpless, and after
the first two men to face him in the
tain of scoring shut-out victory. At
this stage of the game the Detroit
players proved conclusively that the
club still had the punch.
Tyrus Cobb started the undoing of
Benz with clean single. Sam Craw-
ford followed suit with another safe
one and Tyrus moved to third. Bob
Veach. mighty good batsman. con-
nected for a single that was booted
around by one of the outfielders. both
runners scoring and Neach going to
second. First Baseman Burns. a new
man with the Tigers, knotted the score
with single that sent Veach over.
while he reached second on the throw
in. George Moriarty topped Off the rail-
ly with another safe drive that sent
Burns home with the deciding run of
the game. Five successive singles after
two men are down in the ninth is GER
tinly going some. A few days later
New York indulged in a similar rally
game.

Gibson was born in London. Ont,
July %. 1880. His first venture into
the sea of professionalism was in 1903,
when he was an obscure member of
the Buffalo base ball team of the East

Stallings. He was given little or moth

the official list of averages for that

catcher Buffalo had, and he was SPAR

for Washington in 1901 and for Indian
apolis in 1902. Buffalo was after the
second place. The. next year. however,

Therefore it was not. surprising that

Montreal in 1904 had three catchers

released, and then, all the backstop
work devolved upon Gibson and Nc

Mrs. Hen is without doubt one OF
the most popular females in the state
of Iowa today. And she deserves ev-
cry smidgeon Of the honor and glory
that is coming her way. If Mr.. Hog
is entitled to the quite high sounding
title of mortgage litter, Mrs. Hen has
all the right in the wide world to be
known as the family proyider. All
the little extras of the household,
those little creature comforts and
luxuries that combine to smooth Mes
pathway, are provided in large mea-
sure by her ladyship. She sets the
table-as we'll as the incubator. She
buys sisters ribbons and silk hosiery;
Bub is dependent on her efforts for
ammunition and fishing tackle; she
digs up mas mission money and, T.
the truth were known, is probably
paying for the gasoline and cylinder
oil to keep dads auto going
The Iowa State Fair management
recognizes her Importance in the gen
eral scheme of life by devoting lib
eral share of the premium money
to her particular department. The
classification is wide one, and in
cludes more different kinds and vafl-
cites of hens than we had any idea
existed. There are classes for Amer
lean varieties, Asiatic, Mediterranean,
English, Dutch, French, Games, etc.
In addition to all these are the class

Ten to one he is a reformer for rev.

are, in order ito make place for

He'll get up an organization to
fight something that gives pleasure
to others whether it's dancing, such
as the young folks enjoy, or play
ing cards, which maybe some of the
matrors like, or billiards, or base
ball, especially on Sunday, or any
other enjoyment in which normal,

go to the capitol to prevent the pas
sage of a bill by which people will
It some enjoyment He will try to
have things prohibited. He is always
trying to prevent something. Did
you ever see this kind of reformer
trying to have bill passed that
would enable people to enjoy life.
Never. His sole, idea is to force
through the legislature or the city
council blue law to make other
people live according to his ideas,
or to prevent the passage of laws
introduced by other people who may
wait to live differently. The world
is sad enough without losing our
pleasures. There is no place in these
red-blooded days for blue laws. The
pasty-faced complexion has gone out
of style and the rudy glow of
health tells that we are living the
right way. The healthy man and
woman, who loves life and the good

forming for living or to make
other people as miserable as him

WHAT A|LS KANSAS?
SHE'S ALL RIGHT

We have fifty counties in Kansas
where not single man is in jail.
We have SO counties in Kansas
which have not sent to the institu-
tons a single insane person.
think we have the largest percent
age of literacy and the smallest per-
centage of pauperism. In more than
half of the counties in my state we
have been obliged to rent the poor
farms to the farmers; there was no
body to live in them And the bank
clearings of my town, Wichita,
years ago were 81, 100000. Last
Saturday night they were $4,000
900.
And then you want to know what
the people themselves think of the
prohibitory' law of Kansas. In the
last election one man ran in order
to find out how near he could be e.
lected in the programme of going
back to the old system, and he was
beaten by 475,oOO majority.
So when you read about Kansas
as horrible example Of state
ruined by prohibition, just remem-
Der that have come to say to you
that I believe, growing very large
ly out OF the operation of this law,
we have become the most genuinely
Pre- sperous people in the Unitld
Stats. Why? Because we've taken
out of our civilization that which
makes more human waste than all
the other wastes of life combined.
