ADMITS WRONG
Attorney General Expresses
Surprise at Paroling Of
Murderers.

Mln0G N. D., May 3.-Attorney
General William LANCER, who was in
Minot Wednesday night after return
ing from the funeral services Of his
chief detective, Kersey Gown, who
was shot Friday night. was inter-
viewed at his hotel and gave out the
following statement regarding the
recent work Of the state pardon
board:
"Your statement that John steff
and p. A.. McPeek have been permit
to this part of the state, was the first
intimation that 1 have had that these
men have been paroled. Stef was
sent up by q jury. while McPeek
pleaded guilty. Both of these cases
were very carefully considered by the
pardon board, consisting of Governor
Lynn j. Frazier, Chief Justice A. A.
Bruce. Peter Roth of New Salem and
Gust Wog of Gaylord, and myself, and
unanimously turned down. The par
don board absolutely refused not only
to pardon these men. but also to cut
down or commute their sentences in
any way.
you can readily imagine my sur
prise to learn that these men have
been paroled out of the ~penitentiary.
The present administration is in no
wise responsible for the present parole
board, or for the paroling of these
men. Not being familiar with the
circumstances which prompted their
parole, l must refuse to comment on
the same, but unless there were some
tremendously exceptional circum-
stances that have arisen since the
pardon board considered these cases
last June, then their parole is a black
mark upon the way justice is admin
istered in this state.
Immediately upon my return to
Bismarck l will make a searching in
vestigation to end out why men of
this kind are permitted to be at large,
and If the investigation shows that the
parole board paroled these men with
out any additional evidence, 1 shall

SOCCER TITLE OPEN.
War Plays Havoc With Champion,
ship Elevens.

New York. Oct. ,21.-The ma
tional championship of soccer
football may be anybody's prize
this season. As in nearly every
other sport. the dope is completely
upset in the major league of the
kicking game. In all probability
some combination entirely new to
the National Challenge cup competi-
ton will wear the soccer / crown
when the 191S-19 season, is brought
to a conclusion next April.
The long arm of the military
draft has reached into the Bethle-
helm Steel F. C. which won the ma
tional trophy three times. Two
stars of the Bethlehem machine
Tommy Murray. one of the best
half backs in the land, and Jimmy
Murphy, a leading forward-have
been called for army service. The
championship aggregation of last
season has been materially weaken
ed, a fact which injects a new in
terest into the N. c. c. competition
A dozen new elevens of the very
first rank are entering the lists for
the national title. They will repre-
sent leading shipbuilding plants on
the Atlantic coast and along the
Great Lakes. Many of these give
great promise and several prophets
of the kicking game hold to the
opinion that there will be herd OF
dark horses in the soccer classic
soon to get under way.

ALLIED RIDERS ENTER RACE.
Annual Six-Day Cycling Contest to
Be International.

All the allied countries will be rep
resented in the annual international
six-day bicycle race, which will. start
in Madison Square Garden Decem-
Der l. at midnight and continue until
midnight December I. Great interest
is attached to the cycling classic this
year, because 1t will bring before the
American public some of the war
heroes of France, Italy. England and
Belgium. Many of the six-day stars
of the past three years have won
their spurs fighting in France, and
as a reward are to receive furloughs
to come here and race.
New foreign champions are coming
over and at present it looks as if
twenty teams will start in the cham
pionship grind.
The point system that governed the
race last year will again prevail which
means almost continuous sprinting
throughout the week. Practically all
of the American favorites viii be en-
tered. as well as several dark
horses from the amateur ranks, who
plan to make this their professional
debut.

WILL NOT GIVE UP.
Major League Moguls Will Hold
Session in December.

New York, Oct. 21.-From a
thoroughly reliable source it is
learned that the American and
National leagues instead of winding
up the affairs of their respective
circuits at the annual meeting in
December, will go right ahead with
tentative plans to open in 1919,
writes William Peet in the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
December 10 is the time set for
the meeting of the National Leagu
club owners in New York The
American League is scheduled to
assemble in Chicago. a few days
later. and efforts are being made
to get the major league magnates
together for a joint session, prob
ably in New York.
Matters of Importance to both or
ganizations can be discussed. There
should be much in common about
which to talk and the logical move
would be to hold a joint meeting.
There are a number of magnates
who are optimistic over the pos
sibility of playing next season,
others are pessimistic, but all arc
willing to go ahead, appoint sched-
ule committees and map out cam
paigns.
II the war should end by spring,
there is no earthly reason why pro-
fessional baseball should not con-
tinue. ~
More will be heard of this pro-
posed joint meeting before many
days have elapsed.

that the gym" has been given over

the present conditions II Will be
almost impossible to schedule any
big games.
1t will now be up to Penn to find
some other suitable attraction with
which to bring the season TO a

Swarthmore game, which was post
poned On Saturday on account
the influenza. might be moved 20
one of the dates in November.
There are several service and col
lege teams anxious to come to
Franklin Field on November 23 OF

game will be secured.

Station: November 80. OPEN
The schedule suggests that IL will
be the ambition of th8 Midshipmen
this year to procure unqVesuoned
supremacy among tho teams OF the
naval service, this desire taking the
place of the strong rivalry which
ordinarily exists between the mil
itary and naval academies. A vic
tory over the three service teams
to be played would indicate rather
plainly that the Midshipmen stood
at the top OF the heap.
It is felt that games with two OF
the strongest college teams of the
Fast would be desirable for the open
dates. However. the college teams
have not shown any strong anxiety
to play the Midshipmen this season
Great interest is taken in the
game with the Great Lakes Train
ing Station, to be played at An
napolis on November %. The man.
agement of the Great Lakes team
is most anxious to get the Midship-
men to Chicago for a game on
Thanksgiving. Day. The Midshipmen
would be glad to take the trip, but
are not in a position to ask the
authorities to permit 1t. 1t is un-
derstood here that the whole sta
tiOn at Chicago is on fire with foot
ball enthusiasm and that more than
thirty teams have been formed from
more than 500 candidates.
1t also is stated that prominent
men of the section expect to put
before Secretary Daniels the ad
vantages which will accrue from
taking the Midshipmen to Chicago
to play the team Of the training
station. II is held out that it will
put the navy before the people ot
the Middle West in a most favorable
way and also produce a great sun
which would be turned over to the
Red Cross or for other war work.
