New Marks Hung Up.
BY GEORGE L. MoRELANp.

The finish of the most exciting
championship race since 1908 ended
Sunday, with Cleveland the pennant
winner for the first time in the his
tory of that city.
Cleveland Joined the National
League in 1879. Providence winning
the flag, with the Ohio city finishing
sixth. They remained in the Ma
tional League until 1884 and then
were out of the league until the
season of 1889. when they took up
the pastime and were with the older
Organization until the season OF
1893, when the National reduced it's
list of clubs from twelve to eight,
Cleveland. Baltimore, Washington
and Louisville being dropped.
Cleveland then Joined the American
League when the new, body started
and has been member ever since,
In 1892 they finished second to
the Temple Cup, which the Bean
Eaters won.
Lost Flag in 1898.
They lost the flag in 1908 when
Ithey dropped the last game of the
season to St. Louis, Detroit beating
out Chicago the following day for
the pennant Had Cleveland de-
| feated the Browns they would have
captured the flag.
One of the main reasons for the
winning the flag this yesr was the
work of Bagby and Covcleskie. ably
assisted by Ray Caldwell. These
! three we're able to win between
leading with 81, while Caldwell was
able to win 20 out of 80, and Cove,-
eskie took care of "a wins against

the bat, helped by Smith, Gardner
and others the team came breezing
through. 1t was the fielding of the
team that helped the twirlers, for
the tribe finished on top in this
department.
Browns Have Best Batter.
The team did not possess the

over 200 hits during a season. The
Browns slugger has not only Joined
that trio but has taken away the
honors from Cobb as being the lead
ing sticksmith of the league. which
he led for years. In 1911 Cobt
placed the record OF hits at 24S. but
Sisler passed that by ten safe rsps
Besides the work of Sisler an.
other player. Ruth. has placed tive
new American League records or
the book. He made more home run:
than any other player and also tool
away from Cobb the honor of scor'
ing more runs than any man in the
younger league.
Ruth with his 81 home runs snC
157 runs has placed a record tha'
will be hard for any other man t,
reach.
To Sam Rice. the local player
belongs the record of having stoler
more bases this year than any Other
man. Besides that he broke tn,

Raymond at left end. Thomas at

GiIroy Among stars

Lourie. Murray and Gilroy. whose
wonderful opeu-held running, punt
ing, lodging, side-steppins and all
around play drew rounds of ap-
plsuss all afternoon, are three backs
who should make trouble for any
team. Loprie on Saturday ran his
team like a general, selecting the
right plays at the proper time and
making them good. His selection Of
forward pass plays when the Tigers
were near the Swarthmore goal line
resulted in both touchdowns. His
running back of pUnts was sensa-
tional all afternoon, while his open
field running was spectacular.
Murray is always dangerous with
in thirty yards OF the enemy's goal
line with his educated toe. He
missed the try Saturday, but his
second resulted in about as perfect
a field goal as can'b be seen. Murray
is also an open-field runner of abil-
ity, especially in skirting the ends.
saturday he made two runs of TWEEN
ty-fve yards that were little short
OF spectacular with his ability to
side step and shake off weuldbe
tacklers.

LARGER COURT
new PROPOSAL
AT CONVENTION
Nine Judges Selected From
Four Districts-PIan Is
Urged by Cunning County
Delegate.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 14.-(Spe-
cial. ITO increase the membership
OF the supreme court to nine mem
bers and divide the state into four
judicial districts, is the proposition
put up to the constitutional conven-
ton by Delegate A. R. Oleson of
Cunning county.
The change is covered in two pro-
posals. The first divides the dis
trict into four supreme court dis
tricts from which two judges shall
be elected from each district, while
the chief justice will be elected at
large by the entire state.
Division of the state would make
the First district combine all of the
counties south of the Platte river
and east of the west line of Adams,
Webster and Hall, not including
Lancaster. Saunders, Otoe and Cass.
These last four counties with Doug
las would comprise the Second dis
trict
The Third district would take in
all of the counties north of the
Platte river and east of the west line
OF Valley, Garfield, Holt and Boyd.
The Fourth district would take in
all of the counties not included in
the other three districts.
The proposal would allow the
court to sit as either one or two
bodies, but in each division an opin-
ion by three judges would carry,
while in cases bearing upon the con-
stitutionality of law, the whole court
must participate.
Proposals introduced this morning
ran the number up to 248, as follows:

Abide by Preferential
Vote for Nomination
P. A. Barrows. Correspo

Lincoln, Jan. 14.--(Special. 1.-The
selection of full set of delegates
to the national republican conven-
ton by the statewide conference OF
supporters of Leonard Wood for the
presidential nomination has caused
someone to inquire what these del
egates are going to do If they are
elected and the state should vote its
preference for another candidate.
That matter was fully discussed,
according to Frank P. Corriek, man.
ager of the Wood campaign in Ne
braska, at the meeting last week at
which the delegates were selected,
and resolution was passed to the
effect that in the event they were
elected and Wood did not receive
the preferential vote the delegates
would cast their votes for the man
who received the highest vote in the
primaries for the nomination.
This should cffcctually settle any
controversy as to what the intention
of the Wood delegates would be-"
said Colonel Corrick when his at
tention was called to the matter.
while it is our intention to carry
the state for Wood, it is not our in
tention to 60 against the wishes of
the people of the state, and if they
prefer some other candidate, and our
delegates or any part of them should
be selected as delegates to the ma
tional convention, they will certainly
abide by the wishes of the voters of
the state"

Says Speculation Caused
VALPARAISO Bank Failure

When questioned concerning the
failure of the Valparaiso State bank,
J. E. Hart, secretary of the depart
ment of trade and commerce which
has supervision over state banks
said:
"We discovered that there was a
shortage in funds at the Valparaiso
State bank about 90 days ago, and
asked that the cashier, r. A. Lower
resign. When he resigned he turned
in property amounting to from $780,
600 to $4,000.
"A more recent investigation de-
veloped that overdrafts, bad and
doubtful securities and cash items
of the bank aggregated a shortage
of from $4,000 to $175,00O. The
bank books are now being examined
by two bank examiners.
81 have asked the attorney gen
erals Office to appoint receivers for
the bank at once. A complaint was
filed Tuesday against Cashier Low
er, charging him witt, classifying
accounts. / suppose he is under ar
rest by now.
1T is simply a case Of reckless
banking and speculation.

Combing Won't Rid
Hair OF Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces Of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most If not all, Of your dandruff
will be gone and three or four more
applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
took and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

DISCOVER BIG
BANK SHORTAGE
AT vALPA RA|S0
Loans on Oil Stock Given
As Cause by the State
Board-Examiners
Investigating.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 14.-(Special.)
The Valparaiso State bank was
closed last night at S by the state
banking board because of shortage
Of $l5o,o0o to $l75,0o0 discovered
by officers of the bank.
The books of the concern are now
in the hands of the state bank ex-
aminers, at the request of w. c.
Elmelund, president Of the bank, S.
H. Fritsinger, vice president, and
]. B. Tones, members of the board
of directors.
1t is said that r. A. Lower, cash
ier, was forced to resign his position
with the bank in October.
1t seems that the bank has been
loaning money for deals in land and
oil stocks to a considerable extent,
but the investments proved un-
sound.
Valparaiso is in Saunders county.
between Fremont and Lincoln,
about Is miles northwest of Omaha.
1t is said that the shortage has
been known for some time by the
banking board, but that the fact
was not made public until the pres
emit time, for fear of hurting the in
stitution's reputation, should the re-
port prove untrue.
Among the bad paper discovered
by the state banking board is an
overdraft for $4,000 on the Gallo
way company of Fort Worth, Tex,
oil promoters. Mr.. Lower is said
to be interested in this concern.
The Ell Rio Chattel company OF
New Mexico also figures in the out
of state notes, to the extent of
$4,000, the report states. This con-
Germ promotes colonization schemes,
it is said. The leading members Of
the firm are D. E. Lower, father of
the former Valparaiso cashier. D.
H. Talmadge and c. L. Talmadge.
The Talmadges are listed in the
banks notes for $4,000 and $4,000
respectively. 1t also mentions H.
R. Follmer of Omaha in connection
with note for $4,000.
The attorney general stated to-
day that no criminal action had been
instituted and inferred that none
would be taken. 1t is considered as
merely bad judgments in invest
ments, he said.
