GOPHER ENTHUSIASTS
WATCH EXAMINATIONS
By G. D. HUBBARD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 27.-
Minnesota football enthusiasts are to-
day wishfully waiting the outcome of
the examination, which will either
bar or make eligible James Ballen-
tine and Jack Townley, the former
a star tackle of the 1914 team. He
was barred last year because of schol-
astic troubles.
With Ballentine and Jack Town
ley on the squad the Gopher stock
will leap several points. Capt. Bas-
ton and Frank Mayer we're today
hoping favorable outcome of their
final quizzes. Rooters are hoping
for the very same.
doc" Williams is contented to
keep the squad busy with the same
tactics as earlier in the week. A
hard time is being had to discover a
suitable punter. Ballentine is show
ing fair form, kicking the ball about
60 yards. Bro and Ecklund are also
showing considerable class.
The so-called first eleven was:
Capt. Baston, left end; Hartwig, left
tackle; Sinclair, left guard; George
Hanson, center; Townley, right
guard; Hauser, right tackle; Eek
lund, right end; Long, quarter, Har-
old Hanson and Sprafka, half backs,
and Wyman, full.
DR.. Williams son proved a tower
of strength on the freshman eleven

RAINBOW CHASING.

Nothing but the most fantastic
rainbow chasing enables the Demo-
cratic managers to figure out a vic
tory for their candidate. This is
shown by the declaration Of the New
Yorw World, official organ of the
Wilson administration, that the Re-
publicans and Democrats both con-
ceae Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and New
York to be doubtful states. The
Democrats doubtless concede these
states to be doubtful, but the Repub-
licans do not concede one of them to
be so. They are perfectly confident
that Mr.. Hughes will carry every one
of them and they look for a 100000
majority in Illinois.

JAPANESE INTERESTS
WANT LOW TARIFF
(By United Press)

Toxic, Sept. 3.-(By maiD-After
the war the allies should have a uni
form, comparatively low tariff wall
for each other and higher tariff
wall for the rest of the world, ac-
cording to resolutions adopted at the
annual congress of the Associated
Chamber of Commerce of Japan
whose meeting has adjourned at
Toxic. The congress endorsed the
wartime measures proposed by the
Paris economic conference, but ex-
pressed new desires as to the post

Teberg, a candidate for fullback,

Plant Trees.

Every one knows that an intimate
relation exists between forests and
farms. A principle laid down by the
wiscyt observers is that 5 per cent. or
ali the areas of plains and prairie
states should be put into trees. Years

An EXCELLENT STOCK COMPANY
Compares FavOrably With Other Pop

other Week at the Opera.

The management of the local
Opera House and the theatre going
public in particular, are to be con-
graduated on the engagement of the
Mattice Stock Company, which open
ed an indefinite engagement at the
Opera House last Monday evening i'm
the we'll known play The Girl from
Out Yonder." Coming to this city as
strangers they certainly won their
way into the good graces of the audi
ences by their excellent work and no
doubt will make many friends during
their engagement in this city. Miss
Lois B. Hammond instantly jumped
into popular favor and in the charac-
ter of F1otsam, made most notable
success. Miss Hammond is endowed
with a combination of beauty grace
of bearing and ability which makes
her shining star in even such
capable company as the Mattice Stock
Company Space will not permit re-
viewing each of the plays presented
during the week, but suffice it to say
that the plays are all clean and
wholesome. The supporting COM
pany is especially clever and last but
not least the scenery is feature.
Special scenery is carried for each
and every play and it is safe to say
that the Mattice Stock Company is
one of the best equipped companies
that play towns of this size.
On Saturday two performances will
be given, Matinee at 2.30, at which
time "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
will be the offering at popular prices,
and for the night performance their
great comedy drama An American
Girl" will hold the boards. For the
first half OF next week the following
bills are Underlined: Monday-A four
act Southern Comedy Drama THE
Princess of Patches" Tuesday-"The
three act Comedy Smith, Smith and
Smith" Wednesday-the four act
pastoral Comedy When Women
Love-" The Mattice Stock Company
is composed of eleven people, all
ladies and gentlemen and are really
deserving OF the patronage of people
who can appreciate good clean amuse-
ment Reserved seats are on sale at
The Opera Box Office during the day
for each and every performance.

ARMORY FOR
WESTMINSTER.
COMPANY I'll AND BAND WILL HAVE
A HOME.

A bill was passed by the Maryland
Legislature on Monday which calls
for an appropriation of 100000 for
the erection of armories in Westmins
ter, Cambridge and Hyattsville which
is to be divided between the three.
Company H has made many at
tempts to have an amount of money
appropriated for the erection Of an
armory in this city but was always
unfortunate, but by the backing of
our best citizens and officers Of the
First Regiment was successful this
time.
Every member of Company Fl and
Band was elated above expression
on Monday evening at the ArmOry
when the good news was passed
around about the passing of the bill
and the building of an armory here.
The bill has to be signed by the
Governor before it becomes a law.
After his signature the site for the
armory to be built upon will be the
next problem to be solved.

NOW FOR THE AUTO FIRE TRUCK
Mayor And Common Council VIII
Help.

The executive committee of the
Westminster Fire Department was
before the Mayor and Council on
Monday evening again for an appro-
priation toward an auto fire truck.
After considerable argument the
council consented to allow $35 a
month to the company toward the
maintenance of the truck if purch-
ased, which was accepted by the
committee.
The next question to work out is to
the raising of the funds to purchase
the truck.
The scheme the company has in
mind is by subscriptions, which is
very good, as we know there is no
one who would refuse a donation to a
cause of this kind.
A festival will also be held some
time later to raise money.
The need cf an auto fire truck was
demonstrated at the fire on Pennsyl-
vania avenue recently.
