T0UTED ELS WELL LICKED
 BY VIRGINIA
Clever Southerners Outplay Ellis in All Departments. Punting Duel is Won by Visitors at New Haven, 10 to 0
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcH1

1 NEW HAVEN, Oct 2.-Yale foot ball took an unexpected drop when | the University of Virginia's clever. well balanced eleven won a ten to
 nothing victory.
 Captain Wilson and Guernsey, of Yale, fumbled lateral pass and while the ball was rolling around on the ground near the Blues goal line, T. Goodman fell on it for a touch down from which goal was kicked. few minutes later Thurman, stand ing on the forty yard line and with
 stiff wind to aid him. booted the
 ball between the uprights for a per feet field goal
 Yale threatened to score only once and that was in the first quarter After an impressive rush up field for fifty yards Virginia braced and Guernsey attempted a field goal from the 25-yard line, but the kick went wide. Yale was outplayed both offensively and defensively The Nirginians had no difficulty in solv- ing the Blues passing game The Yale attack lacked conference and versatility. The work of the Yale line though extremely crude braced at critical junctures. Neither team was able to gain consistently so the game resolved itself into a bunting duel between Thurman of Virginia. and Wilson of Yale, with the laurels going to the former.
 Virginia gained from fifteen to twenty yards in these exchanges The visitors ends covered the kicks well while Berkeley frequently eluded the Blue ends for substantial gains.

TODAY DECIDES FED
 LEAGUE 1915 WINNER

As predicted earlier in the week. Chi cagoS series with the Pitfeds resulted in something crucial in the Federal League. The Thinkers claimed a victory yesterday over the Pittsburgs that mean an upset in the top positions in the pennant race. By winning a double header Chicago took a lead amounting to two percentage points over their rivals St. Louis, also within striking distance all last week, seems to be out of it, unless a play off of postponed games gives them another chance.
 Today marks the end of scheduled games in the Federal league and on to- days game will depend the ownership of the second outlay league flag. Either Chicago or Pittsburg can claim the bacon on the strength of this after noon's effort.

A LEGEND OF THE SUN
 FROM THE SOUTH SEAS

One of the most picturesque legends connected with the solar beams is
 that told in the islands of the South Pacific, where sunbeams are known as
 the ropes of Maui" It is related that in former times the sungod. Ra. was not so regular in his habits as he is today. In fact he caused the
 south Sea islanders much annoyance
 by setting in the morning or at noon. or at other inopportune times. just when his light was needed for the daily tasks of mankind
 The great hero Maui undertook to cure him of these cratic habits. and the first step was to make the sun god prisoner. This was accomplished by laying q series of six snares. made of strong coc0anut fiber. along the suns path in the sky When the deity next rose from Avaaki. or the land of ghosts, the first moose encir- cled him, but slipped down and only caught his feet: the second slipped, too, but caught the sun gods knees. the third caught around his hips.
 Still Ra pressed on scarcely ham pered by these contriVances. The fourth moose frightened around his waist the fifth under his arms. and finally the sixth and last caught him around the neck and almost strangled him. Then the sungod confessed him self Vanquished and, in fear Of his life, promised Maui that he would in future adjust his daily journeys more in accordance with the comfort and convenience of mortal men,
 Ra was then allowed to proceed on his way, but Maui prudently declined to take off his ropes which may still be seen hanging from the sun at dawn and when he descends into the ocean at night. Hence the islanders say. when they behold the beams radiating from the sun, "Tena ta Taura Maui'-

JESS WILLARD CAN'T BE
 KEPT OUT OF PARADE

Jess Willard is said to be wearing a disguise. Not that the worlds cham pion heavyweight is in hiding, but for the sake of the box office of the wild west show with which he is appearing Jess had bought himself a six cylinder Studebaker for making the jumps of the circus stands and for time drove it in the daily parades accompanied by Mrs. Willard. Even those having only the most casual acquaintance with the features of the COW boy monarch of the squared circle, had no trouble pick ing him out of the mile of parade.
 But Jess wants to be in the parades. So he compromised by confining his his Studebaker touring to hours. when he would be less conspicuous, and, at tired in regulation flannel shirt, chaps and Stetson, he rides a COW pony in the regular morning turn out Life without the parade stuff wouldn't suit Jess at all. Especially SO as Mrs. Will lyard parades every day in a COW lady outfit
 Physical force and violence can't keep Jess out, for who'd provide the Violence? After a long argument it was finally conceded that Jess could parade if he'd allow himself to be dis guised so that nobody would recognize him.
 There being no way in which he could be sawed off or hammered down. they wanted to put goggles on him. but at that he baked. He finally compro- missed by agreeing to wear large black mustache. The gentleman be- hind the mustache is Jess Willard.

Don't Get Wild

Baxter Springs IL a good lit
tie town. Let's all do our part
toward keeping il u good town.
We mean by this that we do not
think II would be a good idea to
get wild about il and induce fell
lows to establish business here
unless II be sure there is BUSH
ness enough here for them. A
town which has a reputation of
having lines of business over
done is not apt to have a lasting
growth. When outsiders inquire
about a town and get a reply
that business is overdone there,
It has a strong tendency to keep
people way. Much better il will
prove to be to give all establish
ed lines of business your hearty
and loyal support than to get too
many institutions of the same
established, so that none of them
can make money. Baxter has
all lines of business we'll estab-
lished, and until there is a much
bigger growth of population it
will be we'll to give hearty sup
port to what we have.
What Baxter Springs needs and
must have is a lot of small, but
comfortable residences built
The day is coming, just as soon
as the electric line is built, that
a lot of houses are going to be
needed for people who will move
here from Commerce, Riverton,
Cardin, Picher and Galena.
