TOPEKA HIGHS WIN
Romp Over st. Joe for Victory in
TOday'S Clash.
Final Score: Topeka 3, St. Joe o.

Final Score: Topeka 3, st. Joe o.
The light, but well balanced Topeka
High school football team joined bat
tie with st. Joe pigskin gamesters at
League Park this afternoon. Out
weighed twenty-five pounds to the
man, the Topeka team entered the
fray with determination written on
their faces. Coach Beargs pastimers
have not been defeated this season
and their playing schedule has been
well calculated to lead up to this all
important game. The championship
of two states hangs in the balance and
the victor may well lay claim to the
championship of the Missouri valley,
with little prospect of contradiction.
First Quarter.
Fighting desperately the Black and
Gold warriors took the lead in the
first period of today's game with the
invaders from St Joe. The Topeka
lads worked the ball within kicking
distance of the visitors goal and
promptly scored by the aerial route.
At this early. point in the game the
determination of the local lads to take
the long end of the score was plainly
evident. Score at end of first quar-
/ ter: Topeka 3, St. Joe 0.
Second Quarter.
Fighting hard to maintain their
lead. Topeka time and again STAYED
OFF st. Joe raids. The ball was IN To-
peka territory most of the time, but
the line held at critical moments. and
the ball was carried and booted out of
danger. The Topeka boys seemed TO
have the jump on their heavier op-
ponents all thru the first part of the
game and their defense when threat
ened. was impregnable. The quarter
/ closed with the ball in st. Joe's pos
session on Topeka's 2O-yard line.
Score at end of quarter: Topeka 3.
St. Joe 0.
Third Quarter.
/ Topeka still maintained the lead
gained in the first period. This quar-
! ter was also marked by a stonewall
! defense on the part of the local pig
skin artists. The ball was in Topeka
| territory all thru this period. but as
/ often as the visitors threatened to
score the ball was kicked out of
I danger. Score at end of quarter: To-
| peka 3. St. Joe 0.
/ Fourth Quarter.
With the ball in her territory thru
I out the game Topeka emerged vic
/ torious from her annual contest with
/ St. Joe. The last quarter was a replica
! of the preceding one. St. Joe leading
the attack with Topeka fighting hard
] to stave off defeat. The feature of
this quarter was an attempted drop
| kick by Darrow fro mthe 4O-yard line.
The attempt failed by inches Final
score; Topeka 3, St. Joe O.

In the time he has been with the
state commission, Castor has made an
excellent record. He is one of the
most versatile private attorneys in the
state in the matter of public service
corporation law. He has directed the
trial of many of the big utilities cases
before the state commission and the
state and United States supreme
courts. He has also appeared before
the various branches of the federal
commission in the Kansas natural gas
cases, the freight and passenger rate
cases and other big public service
cases.
Retained by Republicans.
Governor Hodges "found'' Castor in
Oberlin, Decatur county, more than
four years ago So well did Castor
that he has been retained more than
two years by a Republican commits
sion.
Desire to enter private practice is
said to be the real reason for Castor's
resignation. He will leave the state
commission January 1 and will be-
come a member of the well known
law firm of Stone & McDermott.
George McDermott, junior member of
the firm, is now attending the Off
GERS training school. In event he en-
ters the army service. he will be re-
tained as a member of the firm of
which Robert Stone. state represen-
tative and former speaker of the
house, is senior member of the part
nership.
Castor's formal resignation has not
as yet gone before the commission. il
is reported. 1t is not known at this
time who will be appointed to sue
ceed Castor. Fred S. Jackson is now
a special attorney for the commits
sion and a candidate to succeed Jo-
seph l.. Bristow at the expiration of
his term as chairman of the commits
sion. 1t is possible. tho, he may be
given Castor's job. A. E. Helm. rate
counsel for the commission, is now
in Washington representing the state
in the freight rate case before the in
terstate commission

Makes Public Letter Refus-
ing Request of lncom-
ing Estimate Board
City Will Need Supply
Postponement of Work on
$4,000, 900 Tunnel Contract
Had Been Asked

In view of the fact that the incom-
ing Tammany Board of Estimate did
not give out the letter received re-
Gently from the Board of Water Sup
nlv in which the latter declined to
grant the request to postpone Tor
ninety days the beginning of work on
the Shandaken tunnel contract, con-
Meeting the Schoharie watershed with
the Catskill AQueduct, the members oil
the Water Board made it public them
selves Yesterday. Following meeting
of the incoming Board Of Estimate at
Mayor-elect Hylan's headquarters on
Thursday, it was announced that re-
fusal had been received from the Board
of Water Supply and that 1T was EVIL
dent that body did not intend to CO.
operate with the new Board OF Estl-
mate.
The members of the Hylan board
wanted work postponed on the $4,000
600 contract, which was signed NO
yember 9, until they could officially
determine whether the improvement
was necessary at this time. Inc let
ter to Judge Hylan from Chairman
Charles Strauss and the ether mem
bers of the Water Board set forth the
necessity of the work, in the opinion OF
the board, and the mandatory powers
imposed by the Legislature to COM
plete the city's water supply system.
Desires to Inform Public
In a statement prefacing the letter
the members of the Water Board said {:
referring to the letter of the
Board of Water Supply to Judge by
Ian and his associates, setting fortti
the reasons for letting the Schoharie
contract at this time, the board, de-
string to treat this matter in a digni-
fed and courteous way, did not give
out the letter for publication, expect
ing that Judge Hylan and his asso-
ciates would give it to the newspa-
pers. The board now feels that the
public should be fully informed
The letter covered ten typewriter
pages. IL pointed out that the con-
struction Of the Shandaken tunnel was
not a new undertaking, having been a
part of the original plan adopted in
1905, when the board came into exist
ence. and that the entire cost OF the
Schoharie work was included in the es-
innate made at that time. The origi..
nal plan for the total expenditure OF
Sl77OO0,OOO on the water supply sys.-
tenn and the work so far completed
were reviewed.
THAT an overwhelming necessity
exists for the prosecution of this work
can readily be established, the letter
said. First, TO safeguard the health
and comfort of the people of the City
of New York for drinking, sanitation,
industrial and fire protection purposes;
second, for financial reasons.
DELAY Would Double Cost
