second place since the beginning OF
the season. BY reason of their victory,
the Gilliettes dropped from second to
fourth place, the TeXacos taking sec
ond and the Exchange Nationals third
places. respectively.
A noteworthy incident occurring in
this match was the breaking of two
league records by L. w. Mckee OF
the Exchange team. In the first game
he put up the remarkable score of
27S pins and his match total of 6l9
pins was also the best bowled so far
this year in league game. Both OF
these records are the best in the
league this year to date His 27S pin
game was scored as follows: Strikes
fron, the first to the eighth frames,
inclusive; nine pins on his first ball
in the ninth frame followed by spare
on his second ball; then two more
strikes followed by nine pins upon his
last ball.
The averages for this match were as
follows Mckee 2O6 1-3, Gillette
1874 Ia, Friend ia, Humiston ia 1-3,
Gregory 1862 2-S, Hance 1872 and Bell

taking only 140 pins per game for the
absent team member. Regardless OF
this great handicap. the Enchange
bankers put up tOtdl Oh &,OiO pins
for an average per man of III 1-3 pins
per game while the Gillettes totaled
2.42S pins for an individual average
per game of 161 1875 pins. Other

Monday night the league leaders
took the star AetnaiZer crowd into
camp for two out of three games in a
match featured by fine bowling from
the start to the finish. The lowest
team total bowled was S07 pins and
SSS the highest, both games being put
up by the AetnaiZers. The second
game would have been a walkaway
for the Aetnaizers but Gideon lost
control and only put up 10 pins in
that game, thus permitting the

QUESTION ARISES

If Aggies Win Over Varsity
1t Now Looks Like No
Championship.

DALLAS Nov. 10. - Interest in
football in Texas centers in the game
to be played on Thanksgiving day
between Texas university and Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college at
Austin. While both these teams have
been defeated, their records during
the season are such that close fol.
lowers Of the game contend the cham
pionship hinges on the outcome OF
this contest.
Enthusiasts of the Texas university
were elated yesterday over the re-
suit Of the A. e NJ. game with the
Oklahoma Aggies Early in the sea
son Texas trounced the Oklahomans
by a score of IA to 8, while Baylor
eleven Yesterday scored only 10 points
to the oklahoma Aggies' Z.
one question arises in the minds OF
the fans, however, when the awarding
Of the championship on the outcome
of the Thanksgiving day game is con
sidered That is: Can the champion
ship be awarded to the Longhorns If
they defeat the Aggies by a larger
score than the Agiges beat Baylor
a week ago. since Baylor was victor
ious over Texas.
1t seems to be agreed that if {,
championship is awarded that the
comparative scores Of the contenders
during the season will have to be
the basis for the decision. 1t also
is generally agreed that If the Aggies
should defeat Texas on Thanksgiving
day that awarding Of a championship
for the state would be practically cut
of the question.

were played last week and the sched

king, as well in Wales, Scotland and Ireland as in the colonies and dOmin- ions beyond the seas.
 Mrs. Humphrey Wards little book has renewed the old controversy. She calls it "Englands Effort" and it has already brought forth a strong pro- test--and from an Englishman, too. English authors, publishers and iournalists,' he says in a letter to 'The Spectator" "should beware of giving needless offence in this matter. If you ask a Welshman or 8 Scotchman or a Canadian what he thinks about it, probably the reply will not be in Words-just a significant shrug of the shoulders, which speaks volumes"
 "The Spectator" endeavors vehe- mently to defend the expanded use of "England" on this ground among others, that it is "true to the spirit of those who use the language of the Bible and of Shakespeare, of Burns and of Walter Scott" It argues that British" Is not always interchange able with English" and asks: Does any one seriously propose, for ln- stance, that we should talk of the British language or of British liter ature'?" Surely not but the test of language will hardly do. In this country, for instance, we talk approxi- mately the same language as the peo- pie of England, and are content to call it English, yet we hold ourselves quite outside the quarrel between English and British, and claim neither title.
 It is contended, however, that if we say British" we must logically say "Briton''-"an ugly word suggest ting an undesirable ancestor covered with woad" But does it? The word was used freely in other days-Ne!- son used it, George III, as '"The Spec tator" admits, boasted that he was "born a Briton," and the folk who never would be slaves were not ashamed of their blue-stained fore bears.
 Some better pretext will have to be found for the abuse of English" The final plea of '"The Spectator" that 1t is merely ca pretty convenience" is an evasion of the issue, for the inconvenience is apparent enough in the vehement Outbursts of jealous Scots. And it is particularly pretty:

rival on the border No more than army aviator who falls out of an aero plane while reconnoitering on the border The American people Will soon begin to know where the blame lies for distortion of facts, however, if some of the New York newspapers keep pounding away at the Adminis- tratiOn. These publications, rabidly antagonistic to President Wilson, have done everything in their power to drum up charges against him. Other journals throughout the states have followed suit until the attempt to dis credit the Administration is becoming ludicrous. An instance of this Is seen in the first big drive against Wilson. It was hinted that not enough supplies had been bought for the men on the border. Immediately the War Depart ment called for a report on the case. In a letter written to the chief quarter master of the Southern military de- partment, Briga dier- General Parker of the United States Army casual ly remarks that "a MT. Rhode, correspondent for the New York Fri bune, yesterday showed me a tele- gram calling upon him to find out and report all deficiencies that could possibly be laid to the fault of the administration"
 MT. Rhode was rather indiscreet in showing this telegram to the General. There are many other correspondents at San Antonio and Fl PasO and Nogales who are carrying in their pockets telegrams of the same order, on a wager. It is the old New York newspap per game. Its exposure in this instance may open the eyes of those who have been reading and devouring the adverse criticism of the Admins tration. Instead of endeavoring to get the facts in the case some of the correspondents are trying their best to get anything. that can "pOssibly be laid to the fault of the admin1stra- tiOn."

Difficulties between our government and the Sultan are liable to present themselves at any moment. There Is always a pack of iil-natured advisors in back of the man who controls Turker's destiny, and to offset such evil influence an American ambassador there must posses more than ordinary tact, courage, and ability.

BLAME TIT ON WILSON.

After an investigation into the causes of sickness attending some few soldiers on the Mexican border, one pr. Thomas Darlington, hired for the occasion by the National Civic Fedora ton. has blamed the illness of the guardsmen on President Wilson. It is all the fault of the man in the White House. All because President Wilson did not allow the regular army officers at the War Department to carry on the plans of mobilization. That is Dr. Darlington'g theory. He must firmly believe that President Wilson deserted his offices at the White House, walked across the street to the war Depart ment, ordered all the army officers out of the building, and personally attend ed to the issuing of orders to the various state organizations,-a job that requires the entire board of strat- egy backed by a competent corps of experienced clerks.

 North Dakota delegates to the St. Louis convention came as recognized officers of their state. Each delegate and alternate was entitled to draw $2OO from the state treasurer prior to his departure. From this sum he defrayed his convention expenses and returned the remainder of the $2O0 to the state. The republican and progressive delegates made creditable records in economy, and the demo- cratic delegates in St. Louis regulated their expense accounts with view to saving a still greater amount or the taxpayers money.
 Machine bosses and wealthy inter ests have often gained undesirable in f1uence in conventions by paying the expenses of delegates.

N0 Wonder Syria Sta1pes; Sc1entitic Fa1m1ng Unkn0wn

Washington, D. C., July 19.-That Syria has been unable to feed it's own Christian population and at the same time satisfy the military authorities extra ordinary demands for supplies is not surprising to those familiar with the primitive agricultural methods Ot the Holy Land. Concerning the man her in which crops are raised in this section of the near east, where 5O,00O people are reported to have perished already and where the entire Chris tian population seems doomed unless Americas representations to the Turkish government are needed, John D. Whiting presents a graphic picture in a communication to the National Geographic society. MT. Whiting says:
 Tn the mountain districts the farm land Is usually owned by peasant pro- prietors, each mans property being composed of various small pieces scat tered about near the village in which he lives The raising of olives, grapes and many other fruits is the leading occupation, but almost every farmer grows some grain.
 "DOWn on the plains larger fields exist and cereals are largely planted. The land of a given village is ire quently owned in common by the vil lagers and a division of it takes place every alternate year, and Is so ar ranged that every man gets portions of the good as well as of the less de- sirable land.
 "Fences in the western sense of the word, are unknown. Tn the mountain ous country lands are inclOsed by loose stone walls, still called by the ancient Hebrew name jedar,' and on the plains by thorn hedges. When the open fields are owned by individuals, the boundary lines are indicated by deep furrOWs, in which at intervals stones are laid as landmarks.' It is, therefore, readily seen how easily these boundaries could be changed by an aVaricious neighbOr undeterred by the Mosaic warning, Cursed be he that removeth his neighbours land mark

 "OXen are the favOrite animals for yo1ing to a blow. Cows and don keys are employed by the poorer peo- pie. Horses, mules and camels (the last named only along the Mediterran- can coast, are harnessed singly to blows, while sometimes one sees an OK and camel yol<ed together.
