The Panthers open their gridifon noon, when they meet the Hamilton Aggies. The game will start about o'clock.
 Coach Charlie Brown has a squad of well-trained athletes this season, a squad from which a winning cam should be picked. The Partners. in sd- dition to their preliminary training on the camp at Queenstown, have been sent through rigorous workouts on the campus.
 The Panther machine is one of strength. The line is heavy and pow erful. Five of the linesmen are veter- ans of last season, while the other wo are promising youngsters who have been showing up we'll during the training season.
 In the backfield. four veterans will probably start. Baty, Lewis, Burney and Miller will probably compose the backfield quartette Staton and Brinskelle are sure to get in before the game is over. Mike Norton may start at quarter, instead of Burney, but he is sure to play part of the game at least. At present, it's toss-up be- tween Burney and Norton for the quarterback job.
 Hamilton is said to have a good team this season, one that will force the Partners to the limit this afternoon.

ter for presentation to the Chicago grand jury.
 T wish, however. to make this state- ment. Every championship game played in the National League in 1919. as well
 as this season, has been won or lost
 strictly on it's merits. I challenge any
 one of these muck-rakers. either inside
 or outside the ranks of professional base
 ball, to appear before the Chicago grand
 fury and prove otherwise.
 Regardless of the alleged attempted
 fixing of the first two games of the . last worlds series, I always have con- tended, and do now contend, that the best team won the pennant on the level. "If the testimony given by Pitcher Benton, of our New York club, is cor rectly set forth in today's press ac- counts then that fellow either perjured himself before the grand jury or in his private examination before me His contradictory and wholly unjusti- fled statements will be uncovered at the proper time.
 NO suspicion should be fastened on any player or group of players because of Bentons statement" Mir. Heydler refused to make known the results of the investigation in De- trOit.

This season has tended to present him as Q famous slugger more than as the greatest defensive outpost of all time. yet when Iris hasn't been slamming the ball for keeps he has been sneak ing back on drives in his accustomed form. In fact, the 1920 season thus far has shown Iris enacting a triple role and performing feat that recalls to older fans the days of other famous playing leaders who not only piloted th cir teams out toward the front, but also blaze the way for the league in batting and fielding.
 Features of Speakers 1920 work

 runs in the season. during which only seventeen games. He has ap- proximated this remarkable record

University. September A.-(Special)- The Thin Red Line will enter upon another season tomorrow afternoon, season which is expected to bring forth much in the way of success, when the Crimson and White brigade is massed in battle formation against the invading forces of the Southern Military Acad- emy. The game will be played on the campus and the interest and excitement among the students has no bounds, so
 intense is the interest in the fast ap- preaching 1920 football season here.
 Interest Tn today's game is not caused by any anxiety over the result, for al though S. NJ A. is sure to put up a game fight the Thin Red Line so out classes it's opponent that there can be no doubt over the outcome.

mented persons, and while at his
home, at his office at the capitol and
when he returns to Marion, Ohio,
there will not be a moment of the day
or night when this vigilance will to
the slightest degree be lessened.
When Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson
were nominated the same thing was
done, and although even after they
became president they did not know
it always, there was never long
trip nor one of half dozen blocks
from the White House where the Sc
cret service men, on the lookout for
trouble, were not to be found.
For the next week the new nominee
of the Republican party will be IN
Washington, comforting with leading
members of his party, then he will
slip away to his Ohio home to re-
main until the campaign takes him
from place to place this summer.
William Mckinley, Theodore Roose-
velt, William Howard Taft and Wood
row Wilson were so different in their
personal likes and ways that the Sc
cret service men quickly discovered a
difference in them, that is, those who
had been attached to the White House
for a long period of years.
Mckinley was said to be much too
friendly with strangers and never
would have been shot had he observed
reasonable caution. AS it was, his as
sassin got in his deadly work with
one hand wrapped in a handkerchief.
Roosevelt many times lost his Sc
cret service men in the wilds OF Rock
Creek park as he would make a dash
up one of its steep hillsides or Jump
into the water and swim across.
Nothing pleased him better.
Before he became ill it was often
President Wilson's plan to run out OF
the White House door, jump into
waiting auto and hike for Chevy
Chase golf links, but invariably he
lost and his guards overlook him be-
fore he had gone many blocks.
From now on, wherever Senator
Harding goes he will be closely fol-
lowed by a corps of the best secret
service men which money can get,
working in relays to prevent sudden
attacks from unexpected sources.

SECRET SERVICE
/ BEGINS ITS VIGIL
HARDING, REPUBLICAN NOMI-
NEE FOR PRESIDENT WILL
BE CLOSELY GUARDED

From. the moment that Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio was nom
mated by the Republican convention
at Chicago, June 18th, for president
of the United States until he is either
declared defeated at the November
elections or in case he is successful
until he finishes his term of office in
the White House he will be as closely
guarded as if he were already the
chief executive of the land.
Hardly had the hurrah of the con-
Nention died away, the hum of voices
subsidized, and the applause ceased,
when the Ohio senator became, next
to the President, the most highly
pSized and valuable man within It's
confines. From the roe of an or
binary citizen he instantly became
clothed with all the importance that
attaches to a nominee for the presi-
dency.
The first thing he did to separate
himself from the ordinary mass OF
people was to hurriedly take spec
ial train and on that special train a
private car to Washington. But few
knew in advance of this special trains
movements-among them Senator
Lodge and perhaps dozen other close
personal and political friends Of Sen
ator Harding, and still fewer knew
that on this special train there was
a private car in which rode the noni-
nee of the convention and the mem
bers of his immediate family.
On this train closely secreted was
a guard of secret service men ready
for anything that might happen, and
upon its arrival in Washington it was
this same advance guard of pathfind-
ers which looked for any stray assas-
sins or others who might be inclined
to make trouble. AS soon as they
made their way through the big gates
at the union station and cut a road
through the crowd which had gather
ed to witness Senator Harding's re-
turn, they were closely followed by
the Republican nominee himself.
Just in front and following him close
ly were well known plain clothes men,
who had gotten on their jobs at Chi
cago the instant Harding was deciar-
ed the nominee, and who will prob
ably serve in this capacity for many
months, and possibly years, in the
event of a Republican victory this
year.
Next to the President himself no
man will be more closely safeguarded
from attacks of cranks and other de-
