1t was on Saturday that Miss Ban
croft won the Philadelphia title, beat
ing Miss Ann Townsend in straight
sets, CO. 0--3. Miss Bancroft is a
tall left handler with fine variety of
strikes. She hits the bull with all of
the power that the average man puts
into his strokes.
In her match with Miss Townsend,
Miss Bancroft played the most accur-
ate tennis that she has played this
season. She had no less than twenty
four placement shots in the two short
nets. wonderful record when it il
considered that Miss Townsend is one
of the best scttcrS IN the business. But
she couldn't cope with Miss Bancroft &

Moran SCOTS at Idea
of 'Fixing' Worlds Series

Cincinnati, Sept. 81. When
asked last night about the alleged
frame up in the last worlds series
on the part Of the White Sox, Pat
Moran. manager Of the Reds, scoffcd
at the idea.
1--WE defeated the White Sox fair
ly and squarely last year and ! chal-
lenge anybody to prove otherwise.
To my mind all of these reports re-
garding the fixing of certain menu
bers of the White Sox are pure bunk.
81 kept pretty good watch on
things, as you might imagine, andl4
didn't see the least thing that ap-
peared out of the way. This talk OF
throwing ball games makes me tired.
What is more, as far as ! know,
there was very little betting here on
the series"

The independent football season in

when three teams played their initial
games, but the majority have fixed the
coming week end as the occasion OF
their openings, when at least dozen
more will swing into line.

while Mr.. McGllicuddy wasn't particu-

In this case as a matter Of courtesy
to the court, and that this body does
not hereby relinquish any of the
powers and authority which 1t be-
ieves the status Of this state grant
to 1t. In other words this action
of the board is not intended to be in
any manner construed as a consent
to the power of the courts to exer-
else control over institutions like the
soldiers home. for this body believes
and insists that such control Is by
statute solely vested in 1t.

The death Of Harry Scurr, Of GIL
man. at the Rock Valley crossing of
the Minneapolis & ST Louis railroad.
only reiterates the necessity of
watchfulness at grade crossings on
the part of drivers OF motor vehicles.
In the case OF Mr.. Scurr death has
not come to one noted for reckless
driving. While the crossing is dam
gerous, as grade crossings run, a
view Of south-bound trains from the
east Is afforded. While no one will
ever know just how Mr.. Scurr hap
pened to drive over the crossing in
front Of an approaching train, the
chances are that his mind was pre-
occupied with his business. There Is
but one business to attend to in driv-
ing an automobile, and that Is driv-
ing an automobile. Mr.. Scurr's tragic
end is a terrible shock to the people
OF Gilman and its vicinity, where he
has lived all his life. He was one Of
the leaders in the business and social
life of the town, and his death will
prove real loss to the community.

months openly charged the whole
management of the Iowa Soldiers
sHome with .'rottenness' and 'coer-
cion', and made false,and scandalous
charges, in writing and otherwise,
against all persons connected with
the INSTITUTIONAL Of which charges
were entirely without foundation, and
supported by no proof-which char
ses the said @. P. Mars sought to
publish in the newspapers and spread
broad cast thruout the country.
Among other things. G. p. Mars
charged the inspector Of property Of
the home with being sentenced to the
soldiers home instead Of the peni-
tertiary, and with being in effect an
embezzler; also charged that the head
surgeon of the home had no license
to practice his profession; also
charged that tho commandant Of the
home was appointed originally SIM
ply to give him a salary to pay his
debts to certain bank, and that his
salary has increased for the same
reason. All these charges and others,
were admittedly false and untrue. C.
p. Mars does not claim there Is any
truth In his said statements and
charges SO made.
Justifies Commandant.
The board of control finds that the
commendant was fully justified in
his action in issuing a compulsory
furlough for four months to the said
c. p. Mars and such compulsory fur
Tough was a less penalty than could
be inflicted under the rules Of the in
stitution.
THE board of control further find
that even after these false charges
we're fully Investigated and their
untruth shown that G. p. Mars per-
sisted in repeating same, and an.
inounced publicly that they still were
true, and announced his intention Of
continuing the same course Of con-
duct in the future as in the past.
THE board further finds that c..
p. Mars wilfully destroyed his uni
form by cutting or tearing same,
all contrary to the rules and to law.
Mars Should Be ousted.
TT is therefore the decision Of the
board Of control that under all OF
the circumstances in this case that
the offense Of the said c. p. Mare
is sufficient to warrant his dishon-
orable discharge from the institution,
but, taking into consideration his ago
and infirmities and not being un-
mindful Of his service to our country,
We are Of the opinion the ends or
Justice would be SERVED by granting
the said G. P. Mars an involuntary
leave of absence from the home Nor
a period Of four months, and It Is
further ordered that at the expiration
of such time he be eligible to be re-
ceived into the home to remain dur
ing such time as he desires, but while
he SO remains he must obey all OF the
rules and regulations OF said home.
