 Marathon Event
Metropolitan District Dis tance Men to Contest In
 15 Mile Race

By far the biggest marathon evens ever staged in Connecticut will be run under the auspices of the Board sof Recreation Saturday afternoon when over 100 leading distance runners from the Metropolitan district Wlil take part in the 15-mile marathon at Seaside park. s
 Out of these entrants it is believed that at least a dozen high class men will be found who will make the fin ish a fast one. The worlds amateur record for the distance is so minutes, 2-5 seconds, made by the famous British athlete, App1eby, IS years ago. It is unlikely that Saturdays winner will come within 15 minutes of this record mark.
 The runners will get away on the Seaside park race track at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and will circle the track 30 times. A A. U. rules will govern and the race is open to all registered amateurs. Each competi- tor must furnish doctors certificate indicating that he is in physical con dition to warrant his entering such a, stiff endurance contest.
 There will be the five medal prizes for the first five to finish-gold, sil yer and bronze-and a silver cup will be awarded the team having the most men finish in the first ten.
 Entries, which closed last night, have been received from the New Haven Harriers, the St. Christopher club of New York city, Stamford and the Venice A. C., Holmes & Edwards i A. A. and Swedish A. c. of this city.

 Fight Carpenter


 New York, Oct. 27-signing of the contract for the proposed bout be- tween Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter, European title holder, to- day depended upon whether agree ments could be reached on certain clauses said to be objectionable to Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager.
 A conference was arranged for this morning following yesterdays, verbal agreement which was expected to cul- minate in formal signatures but late last night Kearns announced he would not attend the conference. He made no specified tions of his oA3ec- tions but simply said that perusa1 of the contract brought out objectiona- ble features not mentioned in the ver- bal a agreement.

 Joe Gedeon, second baseman of the St. Louis Browns, is believed today to have saved himself from indictment by a frank statement to the grand jury of his knowledge Of the 1913 plot to fix the worlds series. It is thought likely Gedeon will be allowed to continue in organized baseball.

GREENLEAF WOULD PAY
 S20O FOR CUE RECOVERY

Ralph Green1eaf, the worlds pro- fessiona1 pocket billiard champion, has lost his cue. Returning from playing an exhibition match at Law Ter Brothers Academy in Brooklyn recently he became separated from his stick and doesn't know just where Although it was worth only about $15 he has offered a reward of S2aO for it's return. The young champion prized his cue almost as much as he does his title. It was the same cue that he has used ever since fhe was nine years old. When he first began to show ability as a player his father presented him with the cue, so that it might be said that Greenleaf =practi- cally lea rned to play with it. In mak- ing the announcement Greenleaf called attention to the fact that his name is inscribed on a plate on the butt of the cue.

Fine Nightmare
 In Store For The
 Football Experts

There is a fine nightmare in store for the experts who will select all- American elevens this fall, according Ito indications today.
 The football Armament is full of 1 stars already and the current season l is only little more than half played lout. Many big games to come are bound to develop more heroes.
 Backfield talent, particularly, is plentiful. And what an epidemic of crack quarterbacks! ''Bo' McMillan, ranking quarter of 1919. has lost no little against Harvard.
 Benny Boynton, Williams crack captain and quarterback. is just as brilliant as he was in 1919.
 and leads all players in the individ- ual scoring list. Murphy, of Yale, Buell. and Fitzgerald of Harvard, Lourie and Murray of Princeton. Garry of Cornell, Dunn of Michigan and Bob Fletcher of Illinois, shine brightly.
 Way, Penn State, Flowers, Georgia Tech; Oss, Minnesota; Gipp, Notre Churchill, Harvard; Garrity, Prince ton; Stincombe, Ohio State; Beck, West Virginia; Kelly. Yale; Moore. Nebraska; Lawrence ..A Army; kaw. the ha1fbacks, who are showing great form.
 Arnold Horween, captain and full back of the Harvard team who is also a kicker of ability, stands out among the fullbacks. Scheerer of Princeton; Strauss, Penn; Crangle, Illinois; and Ruben,s Minnesota, are all great fullbacks.
 The Inesmen are looming up as per usual. Gulick of Syracuse, is one of the best tackles in the country. Faxon, Harvard; Keck, Princeton; Dickens of Yale and others, too numerous to mention, will give the experts something to puzzle over in selecting tackles. Guick, of course, out as an almost sure shot for one tackle position.
 The other line positions have de- veloped no great outstanding stars, though there are many good centers and guards. Asdearth of really good ends is notable this season

MOTOR COP MAKES & -s..:.
 SHOW OF HIS FIELD

J. K. L. Ross's Motor Cop, which seems to have reached his best form again, gavef further evidence of his speed at Laurel yesterday safternoon when he romped off with the six furlong handicap which was the fea- ture- of the day. It was his second easy victory in d few days. He finishedp six lengths in front of H. P. Whitneys Panoply, with Mock Orange third.
 Motor Cop took the track at the break and ran away from his field. Panoply made a good effort, but could never get close to the leader and the Ross sprinter was being eased up in ~ the stretch. ~ePanop1y was easily second, though Mock Orange closed with a rush when she turned for home v s:sl-.

LIKELY TO MODIFY
 BAN ON SPITBALI

Major league club owners at a meeting last winter passed a rule that the spitba1l should pass out of their circuits at the close of the 1920 cam paign. One year of grace was al lowed so that exponents of the moist delivery might develop effectiveness along other styles of pitching. Now it appears that the regulation against spitbaH pitching in the majors is to be modified.
 The campaign of seIf-protection got under way at the training camps last spring and it has been carried on in a quiet but most effective manner during the season. Pitchers special 'izing in the moist delivery got to- gether whenever two teams met, and word was passed along as the season progressed until all the spitbal1 pitch CTS had been acquainted with the plan, which was simple. It consisted of discussing frequently with the club owner the idea of having the rule changed so that all pitch CTS now in the game be allowed to remain until their effectiveness is gone. In the meantime no spitballers will be added to the list.

Fall River last night at the Casno- because he caged {. the ball in the overtime play which ! pulled out the win in a strenuous struggle between himself and Fred Jean, known all over the circuit as one of the best men in the game on { skates. Bridgeport won the game, [ 6 to 5, and it was the bitterest kind t,of a battle with the locals devoting their attention to team play, while sthe visitors resorted to individual ] work almost entirely.
 Williams has put new pepper into | the Marathoners which name was tgfven them after last nights overtime | for they have shown in the last two Egames that three 5 minute periods is Erather short for them to decide bat | tie so the long distance route is more | to their liking and the name, the Marathoners. was hitched to them. i Mulligan and Williams worked to- gether like a pair of beavers last night with Doc Harold and Quigley assisting them at every turn.

LET ALL REJOICE!

To us it certainly seems as
though the Pilgrims had little to
be thankful for. If the settlers in
Plymouth could sacrifice the
sacrifices of thanksgiving" in
1921, what, pray, ought we to do
in this year Of our Lord? Think of
the blessings which we enjoy as
the commonplaces of the day, of
which the Pilgrims never even
dreamed! A vast territory mast
cred, surveyed and thickly settled
abundant treasures of farm,
mine, forest and mill poured out
for human uses-innumerable in
ventions harnessed to the service
of human efficiency and comfort
a great republic Conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the pro-
position that all men are created
equal"-free political, educational
and religious institutions, hitherto
unknown and unparalleled, sue
cessfully established-a higher
grade of material we'll being, a
wider diffusion of culture, a
nobler ideal of happiness, a finer
conception of democracy, achieved
for all the people, than the world
has ever seen before! 1t is true,
of course, that not all ills have
been suppressed, nor all blessings
won. But because we have not
yet achieved everything is no rea-
son why we should not be glad
that we have achieved much! Be-
cause we have not yet won the
goal of life is no reason why we
should not rejoice that we have
advanced! The world today is
better than it ever has been be-
fore. Men have less suffering,
greater happiness and nobler op-
portunity than in any epoch past.
Humanity is still fighting the
same persistent ills and seeking
the same Elusive goods, but in
new fields and on higher levels.
The goal still lies far ahead, but
behind is long road of miseries
conquered and battles won.

PEOPLE ALWAYS WILLING
TO PAY FOR TURKEY

New York spends about S3,000,-
900 On it's Thanksgiving dinner,
with turkey as it's chief feature.
The dealers say if it cost a dollar
per pound they would sell just
about as many. Turkey on
Thanksgiving is traditional in
America, and the farmer knows it.
He fattens his best birds and
saves them for this day. Without
realizing it the farmer thus cor
ners the market until the price
gets high enough. Then he sells.
But the people will have their
turkey and this year the dealers
expect a greater demand than
ever, although they are selecting
smaller birds in order to meet it.
The great part of the Eastern
citits' turkey supply comes from
the Middle West-Indiana, Ohio
and Michigan. Maryland and Ken
lucky send large consignments.
This year turkey specials" are
being run from st. Louis. A year
ago one of these trains brought
$4,000 birds for the New York
market.
Vast numbers of turkeys are
raised in Missouri and Texas. The
product of the latter state, where
the birds feed on sage and sun
flower seeds, is highly regarded.
According to reports, however,
the output of both of these Sec
tions has been effectively cornered
this year.

THE UNHAPPY FACULTY OF
"STIRRING THINGS UP"

Eyes, she's a bright girl, an ex-
cellent stenographer and she gets
through more work than any one
l have ever had in my employ, but,
she has an unhappy faculty for
keeping every one around stirred
up. She has sharp tongue and
she doesn't hesitate to use it.
While she was here, every other
day or so one of the girls would
have a crying spell. Something
Miss A had said had hurt her
feelings. One good worker left
us just as our annual rush was
beginning because of an unkind
remark Miss A made to her.
Even on days when nothing hap
pened you could feel the tensity
as soon as you stepped into the
office. 1t was like working over
volcano. And when at length
she left us and a worker, much
her inferior, took her place, it
seemed as if the dove of peace had
come back to the office"
The young woman described is
not an exceptional case. There are
innumerable competent workers
who are handicapped by their in
ability to get along with others.
Wherever they go, friction and
strife result. The atmosphere
about them is always electrically
charged. The girl who is ambi-
tious to be successful in the busi-
ness world should remember that
in addition to ability and training,
she will find tact, poise and kind
Illness essential. The people who
cannot work harmoniously with
others are not likely to get very
far.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A water made of gum arabic is
often used to give body to lace
which has lost it's pristine fresh
ness; this is the way it is pre-
pared: Wash a quarter of pound
of gum arabic in cold water to re-
move dust and wood fiber, then
add two pints of boiling water.
Put it in a warm place and stir
frequently with a wooden spoon
until the gum melts, then strain
through piece of muslin and
bottle; it is then ready for use.
An average proportion to use is
one tablespoonful of gum-water to
one cupful of water. Gum-Water
is used for fine laces, silks and
flannel waists, also sometimes for
dark blue and black sateens,. and
art work sewn in colored silk. 1t
