BOWLERS ARE IN!
Pelletiers and Palace Teams
Start City League Season.
Hobbs of PelIetiers Makes High
Score in Opener.

The bowling season is on in Topeka
The first games of the City league
were rolled Tuesday night at the Stag
alleys between the teams represent
ing Pelletiers and the Palace Cloth
ing company and the Palace pin bust
ers won, taking two out the three
games after a close, hard fight. Hobbs,
of the Pelletiers team made the high
individual average of the evening.
Next Friday night the L. c. Rain
and Felix Clothing Co teams will get
in action and from the interest that
has already been shown it is evident
that this winter will be a big one for
the bowlers. The Stag alleys have
been put in excellent shape and Doc"
Hollinger. proprietor, is exerting every
effort to make the Stag equal to any
bowling emporium ir the country. The
City league teams will bowl regularly
twice a week and their schedule car
ries them up to the gath of December.
Later on in the season it is planned
to make special inducements to lady
bowlers and with a large number of
devotees of the game among the fair
sex here, it is thought that they will
demand a special ladies' day on which
the alleys will be set aside for their ex-
elusive use. The scores of Tuesday

tier. At the close of the game they
surged upon the field, and following a
band paraded about the diamond.
Hundreds of seat cushions, hats and
banners were hurled high in the air
as the loyal sons of F'latbush danced
in jubilation. A defeat for Brooklyn
would certainly have meEnt the
beginning of the end of all their
worlds championship hopes. AS it is
now, they have a fighting chance, and
they have demonstrated that they are
some fighters.
To Boston Thursday
The result of Tuesdays game means
that after today's struggle, here,
the teams will return to Boston where
the fifth tussle of the series will be
staged Thursday After an extended
lapse, Jake Daubert got his bat in
action Tuesday. He made three hits out
of four times up, one of them a triple
Jake tried to stretch this into a home
run. but was called out at the plate
by Umpire O'Day. 1t was a hair line
decision. Practically all the players
on both teams came bounding out on
the field and the Dodgers surrounded
the umpire, filling the air with shouts
of protest and gesticulating wildly.
O'Day took walk down the third
base line and let them cool off Olson
also showed better. getting a
single and a triple, the latter driving
in two runs. The extra base swatters
among the Red Sox were confined to
Hooper and Gardner.

ABE ATTELL BOBS UP

New York, Oct. 11.-Abe Attell, who
used to take 'em as fast as they came,
is about to desert, for the moment, a
thriving shoe business and attempt
Queensbury comeback. With Abe it
is a matter of honor; the bright shield
of the Attell tribe must be wiped
clean.
Some days ago Joe Lynch sent
Monte Attell, the last rin~ survivor of
that fighting family, to the cleaners
in seven rounds. Abe was in Monies
corner that night and the unpleasant
duty of tossing in the sponge devolved
upon him. But he cannot rest with
the Attell escutcheon all bloody and
smeared up. So he has signed up for
match with Lynch and is now in
training.

INSIDE GRIDIRON TIPS
BY CHARLES e. BRICKLEY.
Getting Off Right.

Some players seem to fit naturally
into the position of halfback and re-
quire very little coaching. In order
to become proficient in this position,
one of the things a man should learn
to do is to get a proper start. His
feet should be far enough apart, with
one foot back of the other to have
the weight balanced properly and to
give him a chance to get under way
quickly. Many schoolboys, and even
college men. give their plays away by
pointing the direction in which the
play will go. If halfback will al
ways stand facing the front, there will
never be any danger of this happen
ing.
A boy, to be successful in the back
field, should also learn something
about drop kicking and forward pass
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-10-11

ing. OF course, it is possible for a
line man to do the punting, but it is
much more advantageous for a team
to have a back or backs who can run
or pass or kick, for it adds greatly
to the deceptiveness of the offense
plays.
On the defense the backs should be
able to tackle, intercept forward pass
es, and catch punts. Catching punts
and tackling consist mostly of hard
practice, while the ability to intercept
forward passes comes partly from in
tuition and partly from a thoro study
of an opponents offensive. All half
backs should be full of fight mean
in the legitimate sense of being full of
pep" and on the job every minute

Examples a plenty can be cited to prove
that there is affinity between the two
occuR tions. First there is our own DIR.
Kennedy, of Washburn, who is a well
Weede, of Cooper, a doctor of the tooth
carpentry variety DR.. Banbury, of
Friends university, also is mouth dig
ger" and DR.. Pete" He'll. recently gradual
ed from the dental school of the University
of Pittsburg, is rapidly becoming a promi-
nent figure in Kansas football.

The general public may not believe that
all football coaches are hardhearted. cruel
men who like to see others suffer, but If
this is asset to the profession, then
there can be no mystery about the reason
so many of them turn to the tooth tortur-
ing sport during the months when foot
ball is out of season.

Football, like dentistry, is exciting and
eXhilarating," the Ichabod mentor explain
ed. Both are stirring, rousing, stimulat-
ing, and l may say sensational. More and
more the general public is learning to ap
preciate the efforts of the makers of teeth
and the makers of football teams. The
work of the two professions goes well to-
gether because a man to practice either
successfully must have courage and de-
velop hardheartedness towards his VIC
tins that am sure have noticed. In my
opinion all good dentists are good material
for football coaches and ! am sure that all
football players would have less trouble
making good if they first took a course of
training in a dental Office

Just why the men who make their Iiv-
ing by making molars should take de-
light in making halfbacks and line men is
not known, but there must be something
about the two occupations that produces
kindred appeal. DIR. Kennedy, of Wash
burn, was asked to explain the unusual
conditions as they have been noted, and
what he had to say on the subject will be
found in the following wheeze.

Had the Carrigan elan COPIED this year

GORDON WINS VOTES IN HANNIBAL

Present State Auditor, Who
Seeks Reelection, Spends a
Day Meeting His Numerous
Friends in the Bluff City.
(From Hannibal Morning Jour
nall
State Auditor John P. Gordon
spent yesterday in Hannibal in
the interest of his campaign for
reelection.
Missouri has never had a bet
ter state official than the pres
ent auditor, and probably no
man in Missouri is better ac-
quainted with state affairs and
its needs than John Gordon. 1t
is very important that in chang
ing administrations of the state
that at least one official be kept
in Office who knows something
of the states affairs, and from
present indications, from all over
the state Mr.. Gordon's renom-
nation is a certainty.
The records show that during
his administration for 1913 and
1914 it cost the taxpayers ST.
lS2l.55 less to run the auditors
Office than it did for two years
under his predecessor. Su6h .
record as this should, and will
appeal to the voters.
The record further shows that

During the campaign Mr..
Hamlin made against Judge
Cooney, Mn, Hamlin made use Of
the argument that six years
was long enough for ONE man
to hold the office and long enough
for one county to have the honor
of furnishing the Congressman"
In q recent pamphlet issued by
Mr.. HamIin replying to this
charge, among other things, he
says: Il frankly confess that
have undergone some mental
changes in that regard, due to
the fact that | have learned
something that l did not then
know" In other words, Mr.,
Hamlin has learned that it was
a very forceful argument against
Judge Cooney who had only serv-
ed six years, and that it is
doubly forceful against him af-
ter serving twelve years. Ac-
corning to Mr. Hamlin's code, il
is alright to use ANY argument
ito get in, and alright to use
ANY argument to stay in.

Courtney w. Hamlin Of Greene
County, has been elected to the
Office Of congressman for six
terms. He is now a candidate
for the eighth time and for the
seventh term. In view Of the
fact that Mr.. Hamlin has been
so singularIy honored by the
Democrats of the three big
Democratic counties, Howard.
Saline and Lafayette, when there
has been no cIamOr for him in
his own county, it is generally
conceded that Sam C. Major Of
Howard county is entitled to the
nomination and that he win re-
eeive it.
Mr.. Hamlin was defeated in
his own county in the primary
of 1914, by over 400 majority,
but was saved by the maiorities
of Howard, Saline and Lafayette.
1t is necessary to the success of
the Democratic ticket that these
majorities be preserved and that
Mr.. Hamlin being unable to
carry his own county, the voters
of Lafayette and Saline viii
rally to the support of a neigh
Dor, a man whose own county
is supporting him almost unan-
.imously-Sam c. Major of
Howard county.
