Face the Truth,

There are times when we should be
thankful for the frankness that stings.
We do not know ourselves any too

of real service to US. Let us be brave

Strongest Team
in State to Play
Against Anderson,

ANDERSON, Ind, Oct 10 With
the best schedule that an Anderson
high school ever faced, the prospects
for winning five this year are bright.
Three Of last years arst team men
are in school and four more Of last
years letter men are back, making a
practically old team for Coach A. R.
Stages to build up. Several players,
however, are giving last years crew
a fight for their places and 1t is prob
able that two men who were not even
on the squad last year make the first
team or its subs. Manager C. c..
Rhodes secured two more dates for
the schedule, one October 10, adding
Newcastle to the already strong list
Of teams. Nine of the strongest f1ves
in the state are on the schedule and
the high school thinks that the team
will get underway fast from the big
games that come at the first of the
season, including the game against
Richmond to be played here on No
vember Is.
While Coach Stages has not issued
any definite statement to the press,
he has said to use your eyes and he
will stick by the papers. In a recent
article the story ran: Miller and Can
non will probably be the choices for
forwards, Row1ey center and True
blood and Wertz or Wolski, guards.
The only place where any hesitation
Is in the guards as Wolski and Wertz
are the same size with the shade in
favor of Wertz"

Thirty-tWo years ago, when scores
were supposed to have been small If
they ran under 20, Chicago defeated
New York, to 4. 1t must have been
a whale of a game.
Weaver made three errors Saturday
and got one hit in four chances.
Weaver is a shortstop. Risberg had
but one chance, and he used that
chance beautifully. Risberg is short
stop, but acted as a pinch hitter.
Jack Doyle, one Of the leading au-
thorities of the country on baseball,
has figured that the odds on the
series are to 2 on the Sox, despite
the fact that the seventh game will
be played In New York.
Any Sox fans want to bet that way?
The game starts at o'clock Tues
day afternoon at New York and at l

.OUAKERSIOSE
HARD BATTLE
TO FRANKLIN
With Gordon Out of Game,
Earlham Men Are Unable
to Withstand Baptists.

With a weakened line. and crippled
backfield, Earlham lost it's second
game to Franklin, at Franklin last Sat
urday, 20 to II. The absence OF Cor
con. the big tackle, who was held out
of the game on account of an opera
ton, left big gap In the Quaker line,
and to this gap the Baptists made most
of their plays.
Although Snyder, the speedy Quaker,
and lobe Jessup at half, were out OF
the practice sessions for the greater
part Of last week through injuries re-
ceived In the game at Cincinnati, both
men played brilliantly throughout the
entire game, Jessup being one of the
chief ground gamers for the Quakers
Earlham's passing and kicking was
also used to advantage, more than
hundred yards being gained by this
method Of play. Franklin started the
scoring in the second period, with a
brilliant run of fifty yards from an in
tercepted forward pass to touchdown
by Pruttt and kicked goal by Ross.
In the third Franklin scored again,
this time taking advantage Of the
weakened Quaker line and going
through for touchdown with a series
Of plunges.
The Quakers started in this half
with touchdown on line plunges, in
which the entire Quaker backfield
plunged through the Baptist line for
half the length of the field, Snyder
carrying the ball under the Franklin
goal. Calvert kicked goal. Ragsdale
scored for Franklin in the final period
and Brown. Quaker right half, scored
the final touchdown for Earlham on
a fake forward yass that went through
without a hitch. Calvert closed the
scoring of the game by kickink goal,
making the final score, 20 to a.
The Quakers outplayed the Franklin
warriors IN field play, but the Earl
ham line was unable to withstand
Franlins attack without the aid of
Gordon and two Of the Baptists' touch
downs were the result Of this weak
Eess.
Gordon will be able to get back in

Camden, Nov. PA verdict in ia
vOr Of the State for $9,360.5O was on
Monday directed against the bonds
men Of w. w. Huckabee. late sheriff
of Kershaw county, by Judge George
E. Prince in the court of common
pleas of Kershaw county. The action
was to recover the total of certain

were unaccounted for on the books of
the late sheriff. Solicitor w. Hamp-
ton Cobb and Claude n. Sapp, assist
ant attorney general, represented the
State, while Cole L. Blease and J. nj.
Johnson appeared for the defense.
Notices of an appeal have been serv-
ed by the defendants attorneys upon

supreme court in the spring term.
Governor Manning ousted the late
sheriff in 1915. but the official was
ltaer reinstated when it was shown
that the governor had no authority

LENINE GOVERNMENT WITH
CENTRAL POWERS.
Official Confirmation of News From
London That German Staff Officers
are Advising BOlshcviki Will Cause
Prompt Action by United States.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Offlcial con-
frmation of the news from London
that German staff officers are in Pc
trOgrad acting as military advisers Of
the Lenine faction probably will be
followed promptly by action on the
part of the United States and the al
lies definitely to place the Bolsheviki
regime in the list of Germany's al
lies.
If the Germans are there all doubt
AS to the purpose Of the Bolsheviki
is removed, and the diplomats will be
obliged to withdraw to a neutral cap
ital, probably tockholm, to await in
structions from their governments.
Such a development undoubtedly
would be followed by immediate cam
collation. Of all orders now in process
OF execution for Russia, both in the
United States and Japan. Several
cargOes from the United States are
now on the way to Vladivostok but
these can be diverted by wireless or
ders, and it has been understood that
their delivery would be contingent
upon evidence that they would not
fall into unfriendly hands
With Germans openly advising Len
inc and his followers, it is assumed
| that efforts will be made to carry Rus
sia into the position Of an active ally
OF the central powers. This might
produce a most serious situation by
making available to Germany the
Russia and even though the Teutons
found 1t impossible to convert the dis
organized country into an active mill
tary ally, the million or more Ger
man, Austrian and Turkish prisoners
held in Russia would be freed for SER
vice with the Teutonic armies.
Ever since the overturning Of the
Kerensky government military STRAIT
gists here have been anticipating such
condition as exists today in Russia.
This is one of the principal problems
with which the interallied conference
in Paris is expected to deal. Without
being bound by any special instruc-
tions, Colonel House and his military
adviser. General Bliss, will cooperate
with the representatives of the en-
tente powers' in framing some policy
to meet the military situation.
Strong hope is felt that an effort
by Lenine to turn Russia over to
Germany will meet the powerful re-
sistance at home. Any action decided
upon by the allies will be directed at
the Petrograd extremists and not at
the people OF Russia.
Reports that come from the Don
Cossack country that the hetman.
General Kaledines, may be the master
OF the situation through his control Of
the food which is necessary to main
tain any military force in the north
OF Russia, have encouraged military
experts here to believe that in spite Of
the aid of his German advisers, Len
inc and his faction may be brought
to terms.
