In Mr.. Laws opinion, the INSULT

Certain subjects have neces-

Peters, confessed on the witness
stand that they were at the killing
but denied actual participation in
the Reeves tragedy. The other two
defendants Heard and Stewart, re-
pudiated Confessions that they made
some days after their arrest.
One Of the profoundest sensations
Of the trial was the testimony Of
Peters and Tyson charging that
Henry Waller and Johnny Long,
white men, took part in the crime.
Both negroes declared that Waller
misrepresented the object Of visit
to the Reeves home, alleging that
the man explained that they were
going for the purpose Of gambling
and drinking and giving them ad-
vance notice that murder was to be
committed: These charges were sub
stantially the same as those made by
Peters in a confession at the Caddo

6 TEAMS IN 5-MI. RACE
Chicago University VIII Enter With
Five Men Against Purdue's Ten.

ChR1go, Nov. 24.-Six teams will
get agay in the tenth annual cross
county run of the big Ten" to be
held today. preliminary to the Chi
cago-WiscOnsin football game. The
five mile course is in Washington
park, a few blocks from the football
field.
Ames is the only university outside
the western conference to enter a
man. The other five entries are Chi
ago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio
State and Purdue. The Chicago team
will attempt a feat which is without
precedent in recent years, the team,
riddled by enlistments for military
duty, will have only five men in the
event. AS it is necessary for five to
finish to keep the team in the race,
Chics go's chances will be lost if one
of the runners drops out or even
finishes far back in the field.
Purdue which won the event last
season, will be represented by ten ex-
perienced men. Ames holds the Mis-
souri, valley conference championship.

BONING THEIR BATS is
POPULAR SUPERSTITION
OF BASEBALL PLAYERS

Chicago. Nov. 24-Superstitious
of baseball players have given many
a. laugh to Charlie O'Leary, who, for
nine Years, was a star outfielder with
+be Detroit club of the American
league. But it remained for the prac-
tice of baseball accentrics to bone
a, bat'-to rub their clubs with big,
greasy bone fresh from a butcher
shop-to produce really amusing sit
uations.
O'Leary, a Chicagoan. with seven
teen years of service on the diamond
behind him, curled himself up in
chair and started.
Never heard of a guy 'boning
of the players, even in big leagues, sit
in the club houses for hours and bone
a bat until it glistens. Sometimes
they'll take their favorite stick to the
hotel at night and bone it for a cou-
pie of hours. And if any of them
should get two or three hits in the
game the next day, the devil himself
couldn't get the bone away from them.
1t would be a lucky bone then and
they'd rub it all the harder"
"Boning the bat" in the minds of
the superstitious ones, fills up the
pores of the wood, prevents it from
splintering and makes the bat ring
when it connects with the baIl-pro-
ducing longer drives.
Getting hits is the sole ambition of
every pail prayer, u LeaTY SdlQy ana
a lot of them sincerely believe that
'boning' their bats will get them more
hits. It's the truth that some of the
bugs of the game, after a particu-
larly successful day, will take their
bats to bed with them and some will
even go so far as to stick them up in
a seat opposite them while riding on
a train
OLeary, who managed the San
Antonio club of the Texas league
last season, told of one lanky MEM
Der of the team who happened to take
a certain street car to the ball park
one day. As luck would have it, he
drove out four hits in the game that
afternoon.
Veteran May "Come Back"
DO you think 1 could get that bird
to ride out to the park in an auto
mobile with me the next day? ~
O'Leary asked mot on your life.
For four days he waited for the same
street car"
O'Leary has two offers to. manage
minor league clubs next season, but
does not plan to close a deal until
after the first of the year. There is
a chance that he might return to the
majors to fill some gap caused by the
departure of a player into war ser
vice. O'Leary cavorts around the in
field with much of his old-time speed
and still is considerable of a hitter, al
though he steadfastly maintains that
! he quit "boning'' his bat years ago.

TOPEKA Fl, ATCHISON O
Another Step Toward State Title
Taken by Local Highs

Topeka High took another stride
toward the state title when they
emerged victorious from their strug-
gle with the Atchison County ath-
letes at League park Friday after
noon. Bearg's boys took the long end
of the score to the tune of 81 to O.
Only twice during the game did the
visitors from Effingham seriously
threaten to cross Topeka's goal The
local line held at critical times and
Linden booted the ball back beyond
the danger point. Linden was the
individual star of the game, return
ing punts in a sensational fashion for
distances of 20 to 40 yards.
With this victory behind them only
one more danger threatens Topeka's
claim to the title, the Manhattan
game on Thanksgiving day. If the
local highs are able to weather the
Manhattan attacks various critics give
Topeka an undisputed claim to the
state title. Coach Bearg has a well
balanced team of huskies who fight
from the first whistle to the last, and
who have returned as Victors from
were held to 90 ties. Manhattan may
well look to her laurels when the
Topeka raiders invade that city on
November 20.
First Quarter.
Topeka received the kickoff Four
minutes later Rellihan plunged across
for the first touchdown. Darrow
kicked goal Topeka relying on line
plays and end runs marched steadily

Billings went over for the second
counter. Darrow again kicked goal.
Score: Topeka IA, Atchison County 0.
Second Quarter.
Topeka opened this quarter with
another march down the field, reach
ing the 10-yard line. Atchison County
held and punted out of danger. The
ball see-sawed back and forth for the
remainder of the quarter. The Wis
itors at no time threatened to score.
Quarter ended with the ball in To-
peka's possession on her 30-yard line.
Score: Topeka 1 4, Atchison County 0.
Third Quater.
The ball was in Topeka territory
turnout the quarter. Atchison gained
consistently by the forward pass.
Reached Topekas 10-yard line but
failed in the pinch. Lindell kicked
out of danger. The visitors failed to
gain. Lindell returned Atchison Coun-
tvs punt 35 yards. Atchison again
threatened to score from the 15-yard
ended with the ball in Topekas terri
tory on her own 15-yard line. Score:
Topeka IA, Atcl-ison County 0.
Fourth Quarter.
Atchison kicked out of danger, Lin
dell returning rs yards. Topeka ad-
vanced to 10-yard line. Darrow went
over and kicked his own goal Game
