season yesterday when they wal
Hoped the hitherto indicated
Staieys Of Decatur in q thrilling z
too contest at Normal Park. More
than 5000 fans saw the pastime,
which was as full Of football STRAIT
egg and skill as three ordinary con-
tests.
The Staley's on the strength Of
their record. claimed the profess
sional football championship Of the
country, having won every game
played SO far by easy margins. The
Cardinals not only outscored them,
but also outplayed them every inch
OF the way, gaining almost twice as
much ground and breaking up al
most every play that was attempted.
Cardinals Score.
Leonard Sachs, end, is the hero Of
the South Side fans. With the ball
on the 20-yard line he scooped up
a tumble and, without a moments
hesitation, dashed across the goal
line for the tally. Paddy Driscoll's
kick added another marker.
The Staleys started the game as
though it was going to be q rum
away affair, scoring on the very
first kickoff. The ball touched one
Of the cardinal players and Bob
Koehler picked it up and carried it
for the touchdown. Hugh Black
lock, who won laurels for himself
as a member. of the Great Lakes
team by making a goal kick that
beat Annapolis, missed the goal.
The Cardinals battled desperately
to make up these six points for the
rest Of the first half, once bring
ing the ball down to the 5-yard line,
only to lose it on downs by less
than a foot.
Staley tumble Costly.
The second half was only a few
minutes old when Driscoll ran a
punt back about twenty yards to the
center of the held. When his team
failed to gain he kicked and the
ball went into play on the 20-yard
line. An end run failed to gain for

THREE-ICLUbS
CALL METEOR
CHICAGO, DEC. s
Two-Month Delay Caused by Recent
Attitude Of Majors Regarding
Recognition Of Minors.

President A. r. Tearney has
finally issued the formal call for
the annual meeting Of the Three-I
league to be held in Chicago Mon
day, Dec. 6. This gathering is
usually held in October, but IN
certainty regarding the attitude of
the majors and minors in relation
to the Lasker plan and a possibility
of some changes in the National
Association Of Professional Base
ball clubs, led President Tearney to
defer the call until the present
time.
Cedar Rapids Mum.
Nothing has been heard from
Cedar Rapids and the attitude of
that city toward the circuit for next
year will not be known until the
directors get together in Chicago.
Cedar Rapids has been threatening
to secede unless the circuit is made
more compact by the elimination of
Terre Haute and Evansville.
So far as known all of the other
members during the recent season
are anxious to retain their fran
chise for next year, and. if no other
league is available, Cedar Rapids
will likely vote to remain with the
Three-I for another season. In ad-
dition to the makeup Of the circuit
the league at the December meet
ing will award the pennant for 1920
to Bloomington and discuss the sal
airy limit and discuss some proposed
changes in the constitution.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Playing a
steady, driving game throughout
the contest, the Chicago Tigers
walloped the Thorn-Tornadoes at
the Cub park yesterday, ~ to 0.
Considerably outweighed and weak
ened by numerous injuries, the
Pulmanites hardly put up the bat
tie they were capable OF, and had
it not been for stellar work by
Charpier, fuIlback, the North Sid

several more touchdowns.
The Tigers wasted no time in
scoring. taking the bail on a FUN

while straight football accounted

second half.
End runs by Dune Amman and
Chez. line plunging by Falcon and
the work of the Tigers line were
features Of the victory. For the
losers, Charpier's work on The do

WEST POINTERS
Middies Win Annual Clas.
sic With Line-Plunges
Saturday.

New York, Nov. 29.-Line plunges
with superdreadnaught backs, aid
ed by a smoke screen Of delayed
double passes enabled the navy to
triumph over the army, z to 0, in
their annual gridiron clash at the
Polo grounds Saturday. When,
early in the fourth period. Ben G.
Koehler of Geneva, Neb.. former
star at the University of Nebraska,
crashed over the Army's last white
line on a double pass play that
started seven yards from the goal,
Navy officials among the $4,000
spectators could draw an analogy
between the main reliance of foot
ball offense and that of actual bat
ties at sea- Both elevens had found
the forward pass ineffective for
piercing the enemy's territory. Dis
carding modern aerial tactics, the
Navy relied on the battleship tackle
smashes from close square forma-
ton SO efficiently that after the
touchdown was made, another was
prevented only by a tumble IA
yards from the Army's goal.
The break Of the game came near
the end Of the third period. A punt
by the Army from its own 34-yard
line went outside and Melted only
II yards from the line Of scrim-
mage. A forward pass OF eight
yards and 6-yard line buck by
Conroy gave the Navy a first down
% yards from the Army's goal as
the fourth period opened.
KGehler Scores.
Then came the tactics. In two
line plays, Koehler put the ball
seven yards from the Army's goa
and gave the Navy a first down
there. On the next play Hamilton
the Navy fullback, started from &
close formation as if for buck al
the Army's right guard. Como,
instead passed the ball to Noyes
then playing at right halfback, ant
he turned and gave it to Koehler
who plunged through the Army:
left tackle, for touchdown. King
kicked the goal after touchdown
and there, as it developed, the scor-
ing ended, but not until after an
other brilliant march down the field
by the Middies.

the Staleys and on the next play
the tumble occurred that gave
Sachs his opportunity to win the
game.
After the Cardinals had taken the
leaf the Staleys tried everything in
their bag to make q tally. Twice
they surprised the fans and the en-
tire Cardinal team by trying for
ward passes from almost under the
goal posts, while q third time they
tried q fake punt which Melted 80
yards.
The work Of Paddy Drisccll was
the outstanding feature Of the game.
Time after time he would rip around
end or worm his way through the
line for five to ten yard gains and
not until at least three Staley men
had downed him was he effectively
stopped.
Driscoll Stars.
Driscoll and Hallstrom showed
especially good work toward the
finish of the game by breaking up
innumerable passes SO thoroughly
that such star ends as Halas and
Chamberlain failed to connect more
than twice. Chamberlain demon
strated to the fans why he won ALI
American honors several years ago
by putting up one OF the best ex-
hibitions Of playing end that has
been seen in this vicinity for many
days.

GRID CHAMPION
MUCH IN DOUBT
J As PLAY STOPS

By HENRY L. FARRELL.

BIZ HENRY L, FARRELL,
UNITED Press star Correspondent
New York, Nov. 2s.-Personal
opinion, that no-account Judge, will
have to decide football champion
ships.
The 1920 season over, Georgia
Tech owns the top nag in the south
and California has the honors on
the coast.
In the east and west there will
be as many champions perhaps as
there are personal opinions. Three
candidates stand out in the east
Princeton, Pittsburgh and Penn
State. In q good many opinions
they rank in that order.
Others Indicated.
Harvard, Boston college and
Stevens were also undefeated, but
their schedules were not heavy
enough to entitle them to consid-
GRAFTON for first place.
Syracuse and Dartmouth also
must be given a place near the
top.
Ohio State won the western con-
ference without doubt. but outside
the confines Of the conference is an
eleven which the east considers
better-Notre Dane.
Notre Dame in West.
Notre Dame probably will claim
the western championship and get
away with it, as State will be salts
fed to be termed the western con-
ference king.
Benny Boynton, the Williams
star, who is said to be headed fol-
Army, led the scoring, with q
touchdowns and IL goals from
touchd0wns for 14S points. French
Of the Army was second with 81;
Mayer, Cornell, 70; Kaw, Cornell
u: Way. Penn State, IS.
Not even q mythical national
champion can be established OF
claimed. Notre Dame has disband'
ed her team. Georgia Tech is moi
inclined to take on a post-seasor
game, while the Ohio-State- Califor'
mia struggle can't clear the situa'
ton.

DOES NOT GO
FAR ENOUGH

The bill introduced by Congressman
Evans of Nevada to repeal the tax
on precious metals is all right as far
as it goes, but 1t does not go far
enough. Silver is 10Y selling at
about double the price it did during
the war, while copper is a drug on
the market at a greatly reduced price.
Even with the tax on copper reduced
it is a question if the mines a keep
in operation, but it would help some.
A considerable number of copper
companies were run at a loss during
wartime prices for the metal, but as
the government needed the copper,
there was no complaint. An illustra-
ton of this is brought to light by a
suit field by the Shannon Copper Com
pany against the government for $780,
900 for the s~hrinkage of its earnings
suffered from granting increased
wages to employees in 1917 in accord
ance with findings Of the government
labor commission. Under the promise
of the mediation that the government
would reimburse the company for any
losses, provided it continued to pro-
duce the copper then needed SO badly,
the company continued to produce at
a loss, and now has to bring suit in
order to secure the guarantee made
by the commission.
When the war was on the price of
copper was limited by the federal
government, and more than doubled
in value, and now, if there is to be
a reduction in taxation on metals, the
copper mines should not be discrimi-
mated against. The copper mines are
an important factor in the general
welfare of the state, and surely are
as much entitled to protection as the
silver and gold mines.-lEly Record.

GOVERNMENT.
ACCUMULATED DEBTS

Many people overlook the fact that
on turning the railroads back to their
private owners, the government mana
gers returned them under many
handicaps and embarrassments.
Among these handicaps is an accumu-
lation of claims and lawsuits which
were not prosecuted while the rail-
reads were under government control.
Men having claims against a railroad
company either Under contract or for
damages, could not bring a suit
against the government with the anne
opportunity for success that they
would have if the railroads were In
der their private managers. These
suits, and the pressing Of claims,
therefore, were in a large majority
of instances deferred, and now that
the roads are back under their private
owners the suits will be pressed. AS
a result of that, the railroads will be
called upon to liquidate a large &C
emulation of claims accruing under
government operation, but ultimately
showing on the books as paid while
the railroads are under private mana
cement.
On the face of the record, therefore.
the railroads under private manage
ment VIII in this respect make a dis
advantageous showing, due largely
to the fact that the railroads were
under government control for nearly
two years.

practically on a parity with wages
paid in other industries in japan. II
is with such wages as those above
given, therefore, that the American
producer in every line of industry
must compete in the case of all COM
modities which japan produces and
ships to this country, but which could
be produced here at home. The Demo
cratic tariff law of 1913, cut the duty
on pottery, plain and decorated, on
an average, about twenty per cent.
Since Japan finds that the United
States is its best market and the
United States finds Japan n of its
largest sources for imported pottery,
it is evident that the United States
could as we'll have realized a larger
revenue by retaining the Republican
rates.

A SAMPLE OF
JAPANESE WAGES

Secretary of Commerce Alexander,
formerly a congressman from Mis-
souri,, and a supporter of the Demo-
cratic policy of free trade, has re-
Gently issued a bulletin of commerce
reports containing among other
things, facts regarding Japanses
manufacturers of pottery. He con-
veys the information that America
is n of Japan's best customers, and
before the war, took nearly half of
Japan's production. Two-thirds of
the imports of decorated china, Par
ian, porcelain, and bisque into the
United States, came from Japan.
1t is altogether likely that most
of the imports of pottery in the United
States from Japan are due to the de-
sire of Americans to have the pc
culiar decorations that are found on
Japanese pottery products. 1t is not
likely, therefore, hat the Japanese
product ware comes into very direct
competition with the American prod
uct, for the importations would con-
tinue even though the prices of ia
panese products were higher.
Nevertheless the information COM
piled by Secretary Alexander and
published for the information of the
American people contains some facts
regarding wages that should be of
general interest. In Japan girls un-
der seventeen years, working in the
pottery business, receive from thirty
to forty cents per day. Women over
seventeen years receive from forty
four cents to sixty-four cents. Men
under seventeen received from thirty
to sixty-two cents, and those over
seventeen from sixty to n~inety-nine
cents per day.
1t must be assumed hat the wages
paid in the pottery industry are

CHARITY FOR
| THE WORTHY

The Italian premier is authority for
the statement that throughout the
world there are now idle 300, 600, 900
men who ordinarily are engaged in
productive enterprise. OF course no
one can know definitely whether his
figures are accurate or not. They are
certainly not accurate IL the rest of
the world is tt be judged by col Ii
tons in the United States. There are
exceedingly few Idle men here; but
wherever there is an idle man, here
or elsewhere, there Is some other
working man who is doing enough to
make up for the idleness. If there
are 800, O00. 900 idle men throughout
the world, the high prices of commo-
| dities in the United States today are
| due in some measure to the fact that
| those millions of men are not produc-
| ing, but are consuming, and a large
| part of the commodities consumed
must come from this country. What
ever the United States can do, either
by precept or by its dealings with the
peoples of other nations, to induce
those peoples to go to work, should
be done. Charity should be extended
only to those who have not the meani
to help themselves.

In most places, people are cordial
to new arrivals. but they commonly
take no very special pains to welcome
them.
In others, the new folks are invited
to take part in all community affairs,
and made to feel at home and their
cooperation is sought. II a mar
comes into the neighborhood and
rents a farm. he is urged to make an
effort to buy it on mortgage, and et-
forts are made to obtain funds with
which he can finance the deal.
That spirit prevails to some extent
in parts of Nevada. 1t will make a
wonderful difference In any COM
munity where it Is felt
