COMBINE SPORT
and BUSINESS
Ex-Service Men Have Session
That Counts and Perfect
Plans For Future

An assemblage of rs members of
the American Legion marked the reg
ular meeting of the Jesse M. Dykes
Post, No. II, at the court house on
Wednesday night, the first regular
meeting night after the change in
dates, and business combined with
pleasure rendered the session one of
extraordinary interest. Members of
the post have been contemplating do
ing things for some time, but the
busy season seemed to interfere with
the PRONUNCIATION of plans on an ex-
tensive scale. However, the veterans
got to it and when the finish was re-
ported there had been much impor.
tant business transacted, and some
rare sport enjoyed.
The latter, which was out of the or
dinary, although rather impromptu,
comprised two boxing contests that
for quantity and quality were we'll up
the line. One was 3, 2-minute bout
between Messrs. jackson and Bowen,
of Eastern Normal, and the second,
the same length of time, between
Messrs. l. n. Douglas, a local boy,
and another representative OF the
Normal school.
All participants reached out" and
presented an illustration of self-de-
fense that appealed to the big audi
ence. This is but forerunner, it is
said, of what is to come in the way
of sports, since this is to be q fea-
ture of the future meetings, especial
ly when the post members are eS-
conced in their new quarters.
There was a selection of a new ex-
ecutive committee for the ensuing
year, comprised of the following: Joe
H. Barnett, L. r. Bianton, Dr. o. F.
Hume and Harold Oldham.
Owing to the necessary resignation
of DR.. J. H. Jeff1ies, who was called
to fill a post at Lexington, a change
was made here, Hart Perry being ap-
pointed to fill the position as finance
officers.
The committee to select club rooms
was another feature of the meeting
Chairman Harold Oldham of the COM
mittee, reported that the members
would get busy and would be able to
report at the next meeting that there
had been a selection made, since a
number of places have been consid-
cred. One of these vii be accepted
and the members of the legion will
proceed with the work of making the
new home one that will appeal to the

TWO AUTOMOBILES
REPORTED STOLEN

Richmond, through the theft of two
automobiles Wednesday night, has
lost the excellent record in this re-
gard, which has been held a surpris-
ingly long time. The automobiles
stolen as reported were from Edward
Blanton and Cabel Chenault. The
machines were parked on Main near
Third street. Mr.. Chenault missed
the machine late Wednesday night
and reported the theft to the police.
Mr.. Blanton, who was detained up
town until late, decided to leave his
car in the street and did not miss it
until Thursday morning.
The fact that both machines were
parked close together and both taken
leads the owners as vel as the police
to believe they were taken by profess
sional thieves who have been watch
ing for the opportunity. No trace
was reported of them Thursday at a
late hour. 1t is believed the numbesr
have been changed. The thieves had
several hours start, especially with
the Blanton machine.

GRADED SCHOOL TAX
IS KNOCKED OUT

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 14EKen-
tucky graded schools cannot levy
the additional 5O-cent levy pro-
vided III the act Of the 1920 legis-
lature, the Court of Appeals de-
cided. The act is "unconstitution-
al, it is held.
The old law placed the maxi
mum to be levied in graded schoo'
districst at Is cents. The legis-
lature, having in view the increas-
ed teachers salaries and other
greater expenses, added special
levy of 50 cents.
The Court of Appeals overruled
the motion to dissolve the injunc-
ton in the case of the TompEins-
vile graded school district against
George w. Jackson, from Monroe
county.
The opinion of Judge Sampson
holds the title of the act is mis-
leading and in conflict with Sec
tion 81 of the Constitution.

A STEADY GRIND
IN CIRCUIT COURT

Despite the fact there have been
number of delays i'll the hearing
of cases in the circuit court, the
calendar shows that there has
been somebody operating on it,
since there is steady decrease in
the number OF cases, and it is eX-
pected the remainder of the week
will record the elimination of sew
eral others.
Owing to the fact that the Be
rea College damage case occupied
more than two days, the regular
schedule was held up temporarily,
but Judge Shackelford got started
again Thursday afternoon and
cases set for hearing on Wednes-
day were taken up. These will
make big hole in the list set inn
in the way of civil hearings. and
there will be some cleaning up to
do next week before the hearing
of the murder cases which will
follow.
The Keeton and Gentry cases
will be called on the 18th, alter
which the Andy Poff case will be
given attention. 1t is expected
this will require the most time,
since there is said TO be greater
number of witnesses. The hear
ing Of these cases will mark the
beginning of the close of the pres
ent term, it is believed. since there
will be big list of lesser import
ant cases disposed of between
times. There will be divorce and
other matters which will be given
attention it is expected, following
the hearing of the murder cases
There will also be a forgery, an
assault and battery, and few
other cases tried before the close
OF the present term, according to
present indications.

CENTRE WORKING HARD
FOR HARVARD GAME

Danville, KY, Oct. 14.-The game
with Howard Saturday brought out
some very encouraging features from
Centre viewpoint and also served to
emphasize many points which will
need material Strengthening before
the Harvard game
The brightest feature was the work
of George Chinn, former Millersburg
Military Institute player, who filed
the role of halfback for three quarters
in most praiseworthy manner. He
picked his holes with rare Judgment
and gave an exhibition of ability
which, if maintained, should rank him
with the best line plungers in the
south this year. He scored four for
Centres 16 touchdowns.
Word that the Pennsylvania team is
coming to Danville Saturday in great
shape is encouraging to players and
fans alike. While the Gold and White
followers enjoy seeing the Colonels
score, a game like the one of last
Saturday fails to satisfy the most en-
thusiastic. Stiff opposition is what
the Centre eleven needs and inasnluch
as the Lexington team has made spe-
cial plans for the Danville campaign
it looks as though there will be plen-
ty of opportunity offered to test their
defensive strength.
With only seven more afternoons
of practice before the Harvard con-
test. Cheek Field resembles a battle
area. Commander-in-C Chiefs Moran
and Meyers led the Colonels through
every branch of offensive tactics
known to modern football. Over anx-
iety on the part of number Of the
candidates led to glaring funbles oc-
casional mixing of signals, all of
which made it rather ragged work
out. They say that even the best of
elevens have one bad inning every
week, SO according to the above dope
the Centre team work during the re-
mainder of hte week should show a
vast Improvement.
"Red" Roberts is again down to
weight after the greatest effort on his
part. "Red's" willingness to do ex-
ira work in order to reduce has been
most gratifying to the mentors, who
are banking on him to outpunt and
outcharge the great Horween in the
Harvard game. Roberts spirals are
averaging sixty yards, and they are
that mean twisting kind that brings
results.

Chance For Man O. War
To Win More Money

Covington, Ky, Oct. IA Acting
on the supposition that Samuel S.

% War the greatest money-ea
ing horse in the world, and that
the owner of the great horse
would be Iii receptive mood to
entertain proposition that would
make Man O War the greatest
money Garner in the history Of
racing, Manager Matt ]. Winn,
began trying to get in touch with
Mr.. Riddle with a view to offer
him $4,000 purse for a contest
with Exterminator at mile and
"a half, to be run at either Latonia
or the Churchill Downs track.
The offer should appeal to Mr..
Ridde1, for Man O. Wars turf
earnings are slightly under $685.
600 from the record sum won by
England's champion, Isinglas.
Another feature that might lead
to Mr.. Riddles acceptance is that
Man O War is in close proximity
to Kentucky at present, and the
shipping prejudice is in good
measure overcome, as it is Mr..
Riddles intention to retire Man O.
War to the stud in Kentucky. The
jaunt from his permanent home
would be practically nil if he were
shipped here to strive for the $50
GOO prize.
