Eastonville News

Messrs. j. FL Ragsdale and Eli Knowles
each shipped car load of grain from
Eastonville this week.
Kinney Bros. have eight men busily
engaged in converting tie tops, that would
otherwise be wasted, into perfectly good
cord wood.
In competition with irrigated products
at the Mid Winter fair held in Denver,
last week, the X. K ranch exhibit Of
grains and grasses grown without irriga-
tion took two cash prizes and three rib
bons.
Through the courtesy OF our @. q S.
agent, Mr. L. A. Parenteau, we are able
to submit from his records the following
figures which cover the car load ship
ments in and out of Eastonville during
the year 1914:
We shipped out 80 cars of cattle, 20
OF grain, IA of cordwood, and one car
each Of sheep and hay, total OF los cars.
AS the cattle sold for price in excess
OF $500 per car, it will be seen that
cattle shipments alone brought more
than $4,000 into our immediate vicinity
Our local freight shipments. that il
less than car lots, amounted to % car
loads more.
A large per cent Of the 1914 grain crop
remains in the hands OF the growers ano
its shipment will go to the credit of 1915.
As incoming freight we have to ou,
credit II cars OF cattle, cars OF CONNER
cial coal, 3 Of cement, 3 OF -four, 2 of SAT-,
3 Of lumber, and one each of grain, hay.
cotton-seed cake, sheep, apples and fur
niture, a total OF 81 cars.
The II cars Of cattle we're young ami
mails which will be -matured here and
returned to the markets.
During 1914. 10000 railroad ties were
delivered to the Colorado & Southern
here and are still awaiting shipment.
During the current month some to
10 cars Of cattle and grain have been
shipped, so 1915 promises to at least
hold its own with last year.

REINSTATEMENT OF
 PLAYERS WON'T BE:
 ALLOWED BY YALE

New Haven, Oct. 28-A1though Yale has received a formal request from Harvard that, Harry LeGore and Billy Easton of the football eleven and Milburn, Pumpelly and Rhett of the baseball nine be allowed to com pete again in Yale athletics, no such communication has been received from Princeton It is doubtful, how ever, whether Yale would declare the. five athletes eligible again, even with a request from the New Jersey insti- tuition.
 The opinion is held by the Yale, lathletic committee that the athletes violated a rule that was clearly de- fined, although the circumstances were extenuating in nature
 A member of the Yale eligibility committee said yesterday: Yale act ed on the cases on their merits, on the evidence presented and will act on all such cases frankly, with the rules consid cred as. they stand, not what they. should or might be. If the rule is a bad one Princeton, Harvard and Yale must work out a better, but we propose to live up to. our own 1aws.'' Instead of a break between Prince ton Harvard and Yale being made possible by the incident, the three have been drawn more closely together than ever before and break made impossible for years, if at all.
 Another link in the chain of good understanding that has been forged by the Big Three, is the action of Captain Aleck> Wilson last spring, in inviting here Frank Click and Ned Mahan, the Princeton and Harvard captains, for conferences on several occasions They discussed all sorts of fod football season. New Haven being geographically, center between Princeton and Cambridge, the con- ferences were all held here. The re- suit was the closest bond of sympathy that was ever. interWoven into the footba1Il teams from the three big universities for a single season. Nearly every executive detail which could be considered was discussed and ad-z justed and the sport was put on a flrmer basis than ever before by the talks and visits
 Captain Aleck Wilson summed up the visits and the talks and also show. ed his own caliber as a sportsman when he said recently in talking to a friend of the visits of the Harvard and Princeton captains: Med Mahan and Frank Click are my personal friends. I have known them both for years and I prize their friendship. highly. Why snouldn't we De close friends as football captains? Why shouldn't we talk over together the things that we regard good for the sport? We may be able to avoid mis- takes if we do so. We all love foot ball and, if we can make it better. we want to. It's the greatest game that was ever invented and we all want to improve it if possible.
 When Ned Mahan and or Frank Click and Bet on the field we are going to try our best to win by every fair means we know but, when the game is over, I'm going to take the other captains by the arm and say, Ned, or Frank, where's the party to- night ?'''

HARVARD SHOWING BETTER AND TEAM
 MAY BEAT TIGERS

Cambridge. Mass. Oct. 2s-In the second session of the hard driving week of football at Harvard, the Var sity players again showed that their "comeback'' of Tuesday was a reality. For the second time in the week the second team was defeated, this time the score being 18 to Q. Horween and Enright hit~the line with strength and Rollins proved himself very dangerous on the end run plays
 But the work of Captain Mahan was the feature of the afternoon, his punt ing and drop kicking before the scrim- mage coming up to his average The work of Mahan was above par in the drop kicking game and he sent one ball after another over the bar with great accuracy and with lots of power behind all of then- If the Harvard line can hold the Princeton team, the Tigers will have a job keeping the Crimson from scoring.

YALE HAS TURNED OUT COACHES WHO
 ARE SUCCESSFUL

New Haven, Oct. 28-The victory Cornell over Harvard last Saturday, is regarded at Yale as a reminder that there are a number of Yale foot
 ball coaches who are still producing winning teams against rivals of the
 first Intercollegiate rank. The sue
 cess of Dr. Alfred Hayes Sharpe in putting Cornell in football, where it has been/ in track athletics and row ing for years, was begun with the Ithacans' victory over Pennsylvania last year and, established by the score
 in the Harvard stadium on Saturday A movement was on foot last year to secure Sharpe for head coach at Yale for a term of years but the Cor ! nell football officials learned of it
 and promptly secured Sharpe's sigma ture to a contract as coach for five seasons. As football and baseball
 coach and director of the Cornell gymnasium Sharpe has made himself
 invaluable at the Ithacan University. Aside from Sharpe, the best. known Yale alumni who are coaching the | university elevents, are ''Lonny' Stagg
 at Chicago, and pr. Harry Williams.
 at Minnesota, universities. Both have had distinguished careers as coaches and as athletic directors for two de-
 cades. The work of George Woodruff in establishing football at University
 of Pennsylvania gave that institution E but a crop of players who have bril-
 liantly taken charge of the coaching at Pennsylvania and have extended it
 to a dozen universities in Pennsylva-
 nia and the Middle states
 Four recent Yale players have
 made shining successes of coaches the past year or two. Perhaps the best l known is Fred Daily, who has taken | charge of Williams College athletes
 and given that institution more than it's share of winning games in the New
 England Intercollegiate circuit, as | well as a high standard of sportsman ship. George Foster Sanford, who
 has coached Yale, Cornell, CoIumbfa and Carlisle Indian eleVents, has re-
 organized football at Rutgers. Dr.
 Arthur Brides. one of Yale's best tackles and fuHbacks in recent years
 has given the Massachusetts AgricuI-
 tural College the best eleven in it's histody the past two seasons.
 Another brilliant Yale player of re-
 cent years, who is making a reputa-
 tion as a clever coach is Harry Vaughan. who has taken charge
 of the F'ordham eleven this fall. Vaughan succeeded Howard Jones as
 coach at Ohio State University with
 as brilliant success at marked the
 work of Jones. when that coach came to Yale.
 In the Middle west, Elmer Me
 Dewitt, Yale guard, three years ago, and Fred Murphy, stellar halfback,
 baseball captain and nephew of Mike and Top Murphy, of all round ath- 1etic fame at Yale, are in charge Of the eleven and other athletic affairs
 at Northwest University. c. c. Childs,
 thef- ormer Yale Iineman, is coaching
 at University of Illinois, and Dutch Levine and Frank Coy are coaching
 on the Maine circuit

COLUMBIA STARTS
 MOVEMENT TO GET
 BIG NEW STADIUM

New York, Oct. 28-Another move ment toward the erection of a sta dium for Columbia University is to be started. according to the, an nouncement yesterday by an alumnus connected with the affairs of the foot ball team. The runor is that a. grad suate of the early nineties has prom ised to raise $10O,O00 for this pur- pose if such a. movement should re- ceiVe the unconditional sanction of the university authorities. At present Columbia has a promise of $1OO, 900 provided a certain definite amount for a stadium is raised and with $2o0 900 available at the start Co., Iumbia undergraduates and alumni believe tha tthe dream of all Colum- bia men for the past twenty-five years promises to become a reality.
 The 2plans for sth he<new stadium as drawn up tentatively some years ago call for the construction of the bowl of concrete in the Hudson river, be- tween 18th and 12oth streets. South Field is entirely too small for a sta dium, and one of the reasons why only temporary stands were erected this year for the return of football to Morningside Heights may perhaps have been because of the possi bility of a stadium. being constructed in a few years.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1903=Aurelio Herrera knocked out Eddie Santry in 1 9th round at Aana- conda, Mont Herrera, who was Mexican, had been fighting in Mon tana for some time and had whipped all corners, usually winning with a Knockout. The fans were anxious to get somebody who could prove the SUI premacy of Anglo-Saxon blood, and Santry, the Chicago boxer, was picked as likely man to lower the Mexican's S flag. Eddie shared the fate of Kid Broad and other good men, however, and was put to sleep by the Medcan's s terrific punch. The field of victory soon became the vale of defeat for Herrera, however, for a few months later he was knocked out in the fourth round by Louie Long in a bout which was staged in Anaconda. Later he was defeated by Battling Nelson in Butte and he was never very good after that Herrera is said to have trained on booze, and it was alleged that he could consume 9. quart of 4o- rod a day. Santry entered politics af- ter leaving the ring and a, year or two ago was elected to the Illinois Iegisla- ture.

Old "Lron Man.
 Smith One of the
 Years "Come- backs

< Old Iron Man Frank Smith, one of this years com ebacks with the Feds, was born in Pittsburgh, Pa, thirty-six years ago today, Oct 28, 1879. Smith isn't quite as old and venerable as Eddie Plank and Morde- cai Brown, wEzo ranked among the leading twirlers of the Independent major this year, but at that, he sounds like ancient history to the newer crop of fans. The Iron Man won nine and lost six games for the Tip Tops during the season just closed, which isn't a bad record considering the general weakness of the Brooklyn Feds. In fact, the veteran won a higher percentage of his games than any other slab man on the Ward pay more, first and last.
 The Brookfeds should have been popular with the Smith family this year, for the well known clan was box, Harry Smith behind the bat oc- casionally, and Fred Smith at short. It is likely there will be a thinning out of, the Smiths next year, however, for the old Iron Man'' is no longer as durable as his name would imply although he tWirled some classy games this season. Harry Smith was no more succ essfu1 as a. backstop with the Tip Tops than he was with the Giants, although McGraw once, picked him as 8 coming great. It is also likely that John GanzeI will have a new man at short next season,
 t.Iron Man. Smith has been pitch ing ball ever since 1901, when he started with Erie, Pa, In 1902 he was with Raleigh, N C., and the fol- lowing year with Birmingham, in the Southern league. He joined the Chi cago White Sox in 1>7so4, when Fielder Jones, the SIoufed pilot of 1915, was the leader of Corniskey's hit1ess won ders. Frank stuck with Chicago un- til 1910, when he was swapped to the Red Sox- Fom there he went to Cincinnati, and finally landed with the Feds. Smith was always a will ing worker with the White Sox, and earned his nickname of s"Iron Man. by his ability to stand up under the most strenuous labor.

MINOR COLLEGE ELEVEnS ARE
 DOING WELL AGAINST BIC TEAMS
Little Fellows No Longer Provide Easy Games As
 in Past Years.

New York, Oct 28-The present football season offers a remarkable example of the a1l-round improve ment made by the average college eleven in playing strength and grid iron strategy. A decade ago it was an extraordinary event when the minor varsity scored upon it's big university rival, Today the eleven which can show clean slate at the seasons halfway mark is a rarity. The radical changes made in the rules during the past few years is responsi- ble, to some extent, for this increase in scoring power, but the fact re- mains that the smaller college com bination is no longer familiar with the full possibilities of football.
 In list of more than 100 institu-
 ions less than. a dozen have gone being scored upon and when this number is restricted to those colleges which year in and year out make a high class and consistent. football showing, the humber can bee ounted upon the fingers of one hand In the east and middle west all 1#but three have met opponents capable of crosse ling their goal line or goal bar. The select trio with. clean states is conn posed of Vanderbilt, Colgate and. Washington and Lee. Wisconsin and Syracuse have escaped with but one field goal registered against them, but the others are far from being so for tunate.
 Among the e1evens which have tasted the Bitterness Of defeat are Yale, Harvard. Pennsylvania, Dart mouth, Virginia, Army, Navy, Brown, Syracuse and Rutgers A peculiar angle of the situation is that the group of undefeated teams includes many representing colleges which were seldom heard from in the foot ball of few years ago Among these same teams will be found the con querors of the big varsity elevents which until. recently ran rough-shod over the little fellows in the so-ca11ed practice games. preliminary to the Championship contests. af
 A careful study of the records of 10 years ago will show that at this period of the season the leading uni versity teams of the east and middle west were, as a ru1e,s unscored upon and had run up totals that ranged all the way. from 100 to 200 points At the nid-season mark of 1905 Penn sylvania. and Cornell were the only big elevents which had been scored

Palmerston On Boxing

The .semi-centenary of the death Of the great British statesman, Lord Palmerston, which has just been ob- served in England, recalls the cele- brated Prime Ministers remarks on boxing. In the '50's, when pugiIisrfl was being rigidly suppressed in Great Britain, a hot debate on the sub ject added interest to the proceedings in the House of Lords. In replying to one of the: critics of boxing LOT, d Palmerston said:
 There may be a difference Of opin- ion as a matter of taste, whether
 ilism affords a spectacle one would wish to see, or whether if is calcu1at- ed to excite disgust Some people look upon it as an exhibition of manly courage characteristic of the people of this country I saw the other day a long extract from a French news paper describing a ring fight, as a type of the national character TOT. en- durance, patience under suffering of indomitable perseverance in deternin- ed effort, and holding it up as a spe- cimen of the manly, admirable quail ties of the British race. All this, of course, is merely matter of opinion; {; but, really, setting aside the lewaI technicaities of the case, T do not perceive why any number of persons who assemble to witness a prize fight are more guilty of a breach of the peace than an equal number who as- semble to witness a balloon ascent. There is no breach of the peace They go to see sight, and when that sight is over they return, and there is no injury done to anyone.

PRINTED BIBLES.

The first Greek Testament printed from type appeared nearly four cen turies ago, in 1516. Its publication was due to the labors of Desiderius Erasmus, who was born in Rotterdam 448 years ago today, and who, all though professedly an adherent of the Church of Rome, was one of the most influential pioneers of the Re- formation, and in some respects he may be regarded as the father of modern rationalism. His celebrated edition of the Greek Testament, with notes, the first version which appear ed in print, is considered his master piece. Erasmus was an excellent Greek scholar, and one of the princi- pal revivers of the study of that an cient language in western Europe. The first printed edition of the Latin Bible was the wofk of John Gutenberg, inventor of metal types, and appeared about 1455 A book. printed from Greek characters by sA1dus appeared in 1476.l The German Bible was printed at Nuremberg in 1483- The first printed edition of the entire Bible was, strictly speaking. the Com plutensian Polyg1Ot of Cardinal ximenes, printed at AIoaIa, in Spain, in 1517.

upon. Five years later the progress of the minor college team was shown by occasional scoring against their big rivals, with a rare defeat as a promise of greater reVersaIs to come.
 While the gridiron leaders are still to be found among those colleges which have been ma king football his tory for many years, their margin of superiority is being cut down each season. The top point scores are no longer restricted to a few big eastern and western universities as was the case of five or 10 years ago. Vanderbilt leads today with Wisconsin and Col gate close at the heels of the south erners, while Harvard, Yale, Prince ton, Pennsylvania, Army, Navy, Chi cago and other institutions with long and famous gridiron history are un- der or just over the hundred point mark.
