Winslow-Phoenix Game.

letic park last Monday to get his
first experience at a football
game, and we are willing to ad-
nit there are several points
about the playing that are not
real clear to our mind. The two
teams engaged in the struggle
and we use the term advisedly-
were the Phoenix and the VIM
slow high schools, but even our.
own boys looked unfamiliar with
the leather fre-buckets on their.
heads. Some one told us the fel-
lows with the red sweaters lived
in Phoenix, thus locating our lads
so we could cheer when they
kicked a home run. The Phoenix
fellows brought out ball that
looked like the gas bag of an air
ship, and set it on a little hastily
constructed mound to tee off.
When it had been carefully put
in position, the players all stood
back few yards studying the
beautiful poise, when Doc. Gil
pin spoiled the whole effect and
started a rough house by blow
ing whistle. A Phoenix fellow
run up and kicked the ball for
long fly to left field. but Wins
low fellow caught him out fair
and then the Phenix fellows rush
ed down on him to get the ball.
He saw them coming and started
lodging to keep out of the way,
but some big fellow grabbed him
around the legs and threw him
down, and all the other fellows
mixed in. Doc. Gilpin went over
where they were piled up, and
probably told them he would have
them ''pinched" if they did not
let the boy alone. They untan-
gled, and the boy still had the
ball. Doc. made him lay it down
and chased the Phoenix fellows
all over on one side and stopped
the trouble for a few minutes.
A Winslow fellow stopped over
apparently to start a game of
leap-frog, and another fellow
started reciting the multiplica-
tion table, but just as soon as the
Winslow boy put his hands on the
ball, it made the Phoenix fellows
mad and they commenced edg-
ing around looking for trouble.
The STOPPING figure threw the
ball between his legs to some
one behind him, and the fight
started again with every fellow
grabbing some other fellow, and
they all went down in a heap.
This same thing happened sew
eral times, and the last time ev-
erybody cheered. We thought
perhaps the police had "pinched"
the place, but a little boy, with
ill-concealed disgust, informed us
Phoenix had made a touchdown.
whatever that might be. Then
a big Phoenix man took the ball
out in front of the horizontal bar
and tried to kick the ball over it,
but missed the mark. Doc. took
the ball away from them, and
marched down to the other end
of the field where two men with
surveyors chain had located a
place to plant it. Then the me-
lee started again, continuing in
termittently for several rounds,
and Phoenix touched down again.
and few minutes later Winslow
got touchdown. The two teams
were mar shaled to different parts
of the ground. and the foreman
of each gang was seen telling his
particular crowd how to kill the
other fellows off. A little ner-
vously we asked the freckled
nose kid why the lull in the ex-
citement, and learned it was the
end of the first round. There
had been considerable close-in

ADVANCES NEW THEORY.
Dr.. Gibson Believes Weather condi

Dr.. Gibson Believes Weather condi-
tions Responsible For Epidemic.
Special to Times Republican:
Des Moines, Aug. 21.-Dr. ]. l. Glib
son. state veterinarian, who has had a
successful experience in tracing down
the origin of animal diseases, has
theory that infantile paralysis is due to
some condition, brought about by the
weather perhaps, which develops the
germs. These germs then go into the
system by being breathed in thru the
nose or mouth or in food perhaps. DR..
Gibson makes no claims to being a
physician and only advanced his theory
in response to questioning.
In 1912 when the Kansas horse dis
ease killed so many horses in Kansas
and for weeks 'baffled the veterinarians
it was finally determined that a fun-
gous growth Of the vegetation in Kan
sas and in some parts of Nebraska
and Missouri was causing the trouble.
This growth was developed by the
weather conditions. Soon after the dis
ease broke out Dr. Gibson attended a
conference Of veterinarians held at
Lincoln. He told them that his theory
was that the weather had caused some
germs to develop on the vegetation
and that this was causing the trouble.
The season had been quite dry in the
spring and earlier summer months and
then during the latter part Of June and
early July there was considerable rain.
Vegetation forged ahead Then some
hot days came and in parts of Kansas
and Nebraska hot winds. These hot

Saturday morning he went to work as

ATTEND PowWow.
Annual Dance Of Tama Indians Proves
Bio Financial Success.

Special to Times Republican.
Tama, Aug. 21.-The annual pow
WOW Of the Sac and Fox Indians was
celebrated at the camp west of Tama.
Friday to Sunday. Good crowds
we're present the first two days but 1t
remained for Sunday to bring the null
titude. Over thousand cars were on
the ground Sunday and the dance
grew in fervor and perspiration in true
ratio with the gate receipts. The sue
cess Of these annual dances from the
standpoint Of crowd bringers should
teach even an Indian that he could
pull off other stunts during the year
that would get the ready money of the
automobilist who is always looking for
an excuse to go some place. Located
as the camps are, on the Lincoln High
way, many a dollar could be earned
by the redskins II they would fix up
a suitable place for receiving visitors
as they pass.
The only complaint heard from the
thousands who came to Tama for this
exhibition was regarding the terrible
condition Of the city streets. Many OF
the principal streets have not been
dragged since the rain Of last Monday
and those that were dragged were
worked from a day to three days too
late to be effective The neglect OF
proper dragging of our city streets is
lasting disgrace to our city council
and especially to the man who con-
trolls every action Of the council.

Dr. Gibson says that germs are de-

frequently which bring on animal dis

ease breaks out in most unexpected
places and so often in rural commune
tiles or on the farm supports this
idea.
In communities where there is in
