Still thinking of that sinister ad-

and then Hatzell drew a revolver and
fred three shots into the body Of
Heffernan, perhaps fatally wounding

Heffernan and refused to allow

delay the wounded man was taken
to a hospital where he lies between
life and death.

was released under a $500 bond pro-

.T oLLoWING upon the heels Of
I1F resrettable advice published
IkI In the Democratic" dailies
H Supporting the Whallen Irish
Catholic ticket in the coming cleo
tion, the first blood was shed
by gangsters In the registration
October 81.
Merritt Drane, leading citizen
and prominent Mason was malicious
ly attacked, assaulted and beaten by
Earl Hatzell, one Of the Romanist
election officers who conducts a no
torious saloon and gambling den at
Ninth and Green streets, without
molestation by the Romanist Sheriff
Cronan, who is a candidate for mayor
(or the Romanist police depart
ment?).
Because the Irish Catholic Sheriff
is a candidate for Office the law pre-
vents him from serving as an officer
Of the election and the man who
would, by law, take his place, the
Irish Catholic court clerk, is also a
candidate and therefore barred by
law.
The duty Of the county Judge in
this case is to appoint an elisor who
acts with all the powers Of the
sheriff. County Judge Green, de-
feated for denomination in the Demo
cratic primary by the machine can
didate, appointed Hon. W. F. Wood
ruff, defeated in the same primary
by an Irish Catholic machine man,
as elisor. Woodruff's proudest boast
is that he wears no mans collar, and
having said that he would do what
he could to see that absolute fairness
prevailed In the election, the Whal-
len gang at once got nervous and
notified their poor dupes through
their newspapers, particularly that

COMMISSION SHARE
TOWARD BALL Fund
IS ALMOST MITE

NEW YORK, Oct 11.-CIark -Grif-
fth's Bat and Ball Fund will hardly
derive much beneft from the National
Commissions generosity, so widely
advertised recently. To date, the
Washington manager will collect just
S219.70 from the first three games.
This averages about so q game. II
the series ends in hve games, the
fund to provide American sol
diers will obtain about $3.50.
The commission will pay over 1 per
cent OF its share Of the worlds series
profits. At first this was expected to
be worth while, but now the Old Fox
knows better.
At yesterdays game at the Polo
Grounds several big league stars went
through the stands and collected
close to $4,000. In Chicago more than
$4,000 was given by the fans watch
ing the first game of the series.
Altogether the fund will be boosted
by about $4,000.

Cy Cummings is a happy bird these

Who's Font? Well, il you ask Cy.
he'd promptly reply, Hes the great

So far as foxhounds go. Font is
physicRlly perfect. Cy Cummings
adds that he's also mentally perfect.
A year or so ago Font was declared

Air Lewis, the welI-known fancier

Font at that show and recently he
begged of Cy Cummings to allow the
foxhound to travel with him and show
his class. Cy let his pride and 10y
leave the kennels in Montgomery
county.
A month passed without word from
Lewis. Washington's big excise com
missioner began to worry. He imagin-
ed that Font might have died or been
stolen. He sought to communicate
with Lewis. Finally. after ten days
OF worry, Cy got some Information.

SEVENTH
CAPTAIN IS OUT
W|THBROKENLEG
By TAD

John Barnes captain and left tackle
Of the Mckinley High School football
team, will be lost for the remainder
of the season Barnes suffered q
broken leg IN the game with Episeo-
pal High School Saturday.
The loss OF Barnes this year makes
an unbroken string OF losses sus-
tained by Tech for the past seven
years, and is thought to be without
parallel in the annals OF the sport.
Tech captains seem pursued by fate.
Injuries have robbed the football
teams OF captains for a part or the
whole of the season since 1910.
In 1910 Mac Mccarthy was laid
low after two games were played.
The following season Country" Nor
ris, captain OF the team, was put out
OF commission by a wrenched knee.
Earl Eckendorf, captain in 1912. was
50 badly shaken up in the early sea
son games that he was practically
useless 20 the football team.
Noel White, who captainei ne team
in 1918, received a sprained ankle
which kept him cut OF competition
the greater part of the season. Percy
Gibson, who was Techs 1914 captain.
played In but one game. q wrenchsd
back forcing him to remain on the
sidelines.
Gene Ochsenrsiter, well remem-
bered as one of the best backfleld
men ever developed at Tech, was the
1918 captain. He played through the
first game of the season and there
after retired with a badly wrenched
knee. Football followers remember
that last year Jack Easter, captain
OF the eleyen, was out the greater
part Of the campaign on account OF
bruised hip. And now Johnny
Barnes is out of the game for the
year.
Tech maintains that hard luck Is
camping on the trail of all football
captains. 1t will be difficult to get
any member OF the squad to accept
the captaincy, following the unusual
string OF injuries that seems destined
to happen to the Tech captains.
Army and Navy Preps are looking for
a game for Saturday. All the available
teams in town are scheduled and the
Preps want a good workout in prepara-
ton for the remaining battles on the
