Very Little Betting
Despite the crowd attracted by the
games and in spite OF the interest
aroused by this f1rst clash between
the nations two greatest cities, bet
ting was practically absent. The
team feeling is too evenly matched to,
allow any great speculation.
Chicago was entertaining the great

most Of the outsiders were going

confident promises. were going with.
out tickets save small allotment box
seats and these they were selling at
500, the same old price. No grand
stand seats were available because OF
the personal vigilance Charles A.
Comiskey exercised. individuals have
been considered and they have been
given the tickets. Spectators have
been unable to buy them.
Looking for Odds.
Chicago fans were willing to bet on
their favorites but they refused to ad-
nit it was more than an even money
proposition. In fact they demanded
odds for the most part, pointing to the
fact that the Giants triumphed. as
had been expected-as one of the
greatest of National league baseball
clubs.
Strength is added to the Giants by
the return of their two cripples, Nc
Carly and Herzog. as regulars, and to
the White Sox through a switch made
when Buck Weaver was recently In
jured. Herzog's back has so far re-
covered that he is playing better base
ball than at any time this year. Nc
Carty's leg has healed completely but
still causes him to limp
Herzog's playing as fielder IS not
more brilliant than that Of other
second basemen but his personality
has much to do with the spirit in the
Giant team play. He has all his old
pepper back.

CHICAGO, Oct. Chants and
White Sox reached the baseball
Marine today.
Before shutdown, with more than
10000 red blooded Americans cheer
ing the victor on, one must be re-
pulsed in the first assault along the
road that leads to the worlds baseball
championship.
The sun was shining brightly early
today upon Comiskey park. the field
where these representative leaders of
American sport will meet in the first
clash for the highest baseball honors.
After forty-etght hours Of rain, 1t ap-
peared that perfect weather was as
sured for the opening Of the big series.
One of the greatest crowds that
ever gathered for a worlds series
packed itself into Chicago before mid
night. Every hotel reported stand
ing room only" The thousands came
from every corner Of the country
From every side arose a constant cry
for tickets, the supply of which was
exhausted hours ago.
Sporting Blood Not Trimmed.
Americas sporting blood has not
been thinned by war. That is evil
denced by the crowds and the enthusi-
asm with which this biggest of Ameri-
cas- sporting events is being greeted.
But the war is not forgotten. Clean
cut, khaki clad men are in the throngs
seeking tickets. In the long line
waiting at the b1eacher entrance to
Comiskey park at dawn, sailors and
soldiers in uniform snapped yarns
with GIVES
The war has scattered, too, the
audience that worlds championship
contending teams have played before
in the past.
Thousands who last year witnessed
the games in Boston or Brooklyn, or
home are "over there"

Washington, Dec. 11.-With q deci.
sion upholding the Idaho prohibition

ion which may be one Of tlle most far
reaching victories for 'bOne-dry" pro-
hibition yet recorded.
1t was held that Il citizen has no
constitutional right to possess liquors
for his personal use if state wishes
to forbid it.
Justice McReynolds, who gave the
courts opinion, held that a state has
power absolutely to prohibit manufac~
ture, gift, purchase, sale or transpOrta-
ton Of intoxicating liquors within It's
borders without violating the COnsti-
tuition"

clearly follows from our numerous de-

liquors for personal use is not one of
those fundamental privileges of a citi-

COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF DRAFTING

The army. large machine corporations,
Marine Corps. shipbuilding companies
and innumerable other institutions re-
quire the services of craftsmen. Never
has there been such an unsuppliable de-
mand for men experienced in drafting
work. The great opportunity offered is
evidenced by the unusual numbers of po-
sitions open at most excellent salaries,
and the fact that in many drafting lines
the civil service examination has in ef-
feet been waived. Facilities for prepar-
ing residents of this city for such service
have been adequately instituted at the
Columbia School of Drafting. Of which
Roy c. Clafiin is the president. Glasses
are held day and evening. all the year
round. This school has for many years
concentrated all its efforts in furnishing

reached a point of enviable ability to
properly prepare its students to accept

ment service or with private concerns.

forces nar1eiy. heredity. early impres

Heredity, or hereditary transmission,
Is the scientific name for the law that
each plant or animal produces others or
like kind with itself. But IN a more re-
stricted sense heredity means the char
aeter1stics which are transmitted to each
new soul by its ancestors. Many a man
Is handicapped in the race Of life be-
