killed by motor vehicles in Vermont.
That which made prosecution impera-

fact that in addition to driving at ex-
cessive speed the operator of the motor
vehicle made no effort to stop and de-
termine what injury had been done to
the victim of the collision but speeded
on with the same reckless abandon, at
the same time turning off the lights
which might have made it possible to
ascertain the number of the car. The
defense of the man was an alibi but an
alibi OF such weakness, apparently, that
the jury placed little reliance on it. So
the verdict of manslaughter was re-

In commenting on our statement OF
belief that President Wilson would moi
be candidate again for the presidency
the Rutland Herald again falls into the
error of stating that we previously at
tackled the Senator Moses statement
concerning the illness of the president
Says the contemporary:
There was also something said, as We
recall it, about the president never
again being the great personal and po-
litical force he once was. The foregoing
rather indicates that light from a high
ly illuminated quarter has been hello

As a matter of cold, political fact
Washington long ago discounted the
possibility of the presidents ever again
being candidate for high office. And
Washington knew long ago substan-
TALLY what Senator Moses told in his
now celebrated letter.
If the contemporary will revert to its
files again it will find that The Herald
brought in the Moses letter of its own
accord, our own observation on the
presidents illness being as to the YER
aeity of DIR. Grayson's bulletins regard
ing the progress of the patient toward
recovery. That is far different, as the
contemporary will see if it viii admit
a little of the photographed light which
il speaks of. Then, in case the con-
temporary should ask us for our opin-
ion of the Moses letter we should say
that, when published at least. il was
in miserably bad taste. Perhaps Sen.
ator Moses never intended the letter to
get into the newspapers, for it seems
that no person with human sympathies
could desire to choose so inopportune a

HAD HIM ON RUN
Carpenter Forced Fighting
Onto Battling LeYinsky.
Scored Knockout in Fourth
Round at Jersey City.

New York, Oct. 13.-Georges Car
pentier has vised his passports to a
fight with Champion Jack Dempsey.
He sealed the document last night
with a right hand blow to the chin of
Battling Lcvinsky, veteran light
heavyweight, in the fourth round of
their match in Jersey City. Levinsky
was knocked out.
Carpenter won his first American
fight as a battler, not as a boxer. He
constantly attempted to draw Lev
inslky into attacking by dropping his
arms, but the cautious battler was
content to let Georges do all the lead
ing.
Levinsky's blows were delivered
while in retreat and the Frenchman
disregarded them. He tore in at full
speed, flaying wildly with both hands.
In the fourth Carpenter drove Lev
insky to the ropes, battering at the
appraised arms protecting the Ameri-
cans face. Finally, Carpenter drove
a straight right thru with the full
power of his body behind it, Levinsky
slumped down in a corner.

Ruby to Coach Tiger Five.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct. 13.-Craig
Ruby, former Tiger baseball star, has
been appointed basket ball coach at
Missouri university. He will work in
conjunction with c. z. Clevenger, ath-
letic director. Ruby is a former West
port high school boy. He made the
all-star high school team in 1915. In
1916 he played on the Missouri fresh
man team, and in 1917 dropped out
of school year. In 1918 he returned
to Missouri and played with the Tiger
quiRtet for three years.
He played on both of Meanweirs
Valley championship teams in 1918
and 1920 the only years Missouri ever
won the flag, and made the all-valley
team for three consecutive years, be-
ing captain of the all-valley quintet of
1920. To top his wonderful career as
a player. he was reelected to the cap
taincy of the Missouri team last year,
the first man ever to hold the honor
twice. Although Ruby played as a
guard in high school he has always
played forward on the Missouri teams,
He had the reputation of being the
most brainy basket ball player in the
valley, and his experience as we'll as
his popularity among the players
should go far in making him as sue
cessful a coach as he has been as a
player

Lee Wykoff played wonderful
game for Washburn against Kansas at
Lawrence. Not only carrying the ball
well at fullback, but he backed the
Washburn line in wonderful shape,
cutting down the Crimson and Blue
backs repeatedly for a loss. He was
on the bottom of every pile.
Wykoff is playing his third year on
the Washburn team, and looks like a
good bet for a position again this year
on the all-KanSas team. He is from
Osborne. Kan, where he played four
years of high school football before
coming to college.
Lee tips the scales at 100 pounds
and is six feet two.

GOOD CHANCE TO WIN
Dwight Rean Predicts Victory in
Washburn- Ottawa Game.

Washburn's chances for a victory
over the Ottawa Baptists Saturday are
of the best, according to Dwight Ream,
Blue mentor, today.
I'VE will have a fight" said Ream,
but the boys are feeling pretty well
over holding K. U. as low as they
did"
The Blue warriors feel the same
way about the matter and the Bap-
lists must put up good fight to over
come the Ichabod machine. Heavy
Irwin, who was taken out of the game
with Kansas suffering from a badly
wrenched knee is on his feet, and will
be able to enter the Saturday contest.
Punk Simpson, who is playing his first
year of college football and won hon
ors in the Kansas game, is trying his
toe behind the ball, and may do the
punting for the Ichabods "Lonny''
Euler, substitute halfback, is develop
ing a wicked drop kick and getting
some deadly direction from the 35 and
40 yard lines.
I'VE need a kicker and need one
bad" said Ream today, land if Simp-
son can show the stuff with his toe on
the pigskin. he will do the punting for
Washburn from now ON. The game at
K. U. was lost by poor punting. Had
our punts been as long as theirs, we
could have held the play in the middle
Of the field, and only a fluke could
have given them a touchdown, or
made us lose the game"
Ream is putting the men thru a
and altho the Varsity men are slightly
sore, and a little stiff, the scrimmage
and brisk working of Jack johnson,
trainer, will soon put them in shape.

World series Dope.

The worlds series is finished and
now the post mortems are being held
and the dope artists are telling just
how certain games could have been
saved if Manager Robinson had done
as they wished. The present series
came out just as doped on the sport
page of The State Journal in before
the battle" story. The American
league has again showed the entire
sporting world that they have a hig
edge on the National. Not only in
pitching but hitting and base running
and the number of stars make the Ban
johnson circuit the greatest one IN
organized baseball. The Cleveland
team under the excellent management
of Iris Speaker, one of the stars OF
the American league. has not only
brought the first worlds championship
to the Ohio city, but also their first
American league penhant. Coveleskle
is undoubtedly the star performer,
having won all three of his starts.
while Mails, the youngest member OF
the Speaker twirlers. came thru with
a beautiful shutout game when things
looked darkest for the Cleveland team
The only disappointment on the team
was the poor playing of Sewell, who
was trying to fill Ray Chapmans
shoes at short This youngster was
under an awful strain and possibly
that accounts for his poor fielding.
Bagby after losing his first game came
own game with a drive into the stands
that went for four bases.
Prepare for Washburn- ottawa Game.
The Washburn Boosters club are
making big preparations for the OF
tawa-Washburn football game which
will be played Saturday on the college
athletic field. 1t will be Dwight Ream
day in honor of the popular Washburn
coach, whose team has made such
wonderful record against both Kansas
and Nebraska. The business men of
Topeka, former students and the stu
dent body have some real foxy plans
under way that will not be disclosed
until later in the week. This Will be
the first time that Washburns 1920
team plays on the home field and it's
up 10 every one in Topeka that boasts
of having any red blood to turn out
and hep cheer the Blue on to victory
Coach I:eam has said that no matter

mace that the merchants and towns

with the right KIND of support.
