farm to Berea. where he expects to
take a rest for a year or two and
send his children to school there, was
in Richmond Monday morning bright

was missing the news of the county,
and found that this was what he had
not been getting since he had moved,
since he had been missing the daily

Inquiry into the baseball scandal and

The head OF the National Commission"
declared a member OF the grand jury.
Everybody in favor of honest base
ball from owner down to bleacherite
Is In favor OF a big tribunal to guide
and watch over the game.
1T Is the sentiment OF the grand
jury that a reorganization OF the Ma
ional Commission take place immedi-
ately. This will eliminate the recur-
renee OF any more scandals like the
1919 world series. Everybody had the
information. but there was no one TO

TO Notre Dame, 16 to 8. and to North
western, 3 to 2.
Center ran up wonderful scores last
season against the weakest sort OF
opposition. 1t defeated Hanover, 30
to 0. for instance. There were prob
ably dozen other teams capable OF
equaling that stunt II Is the same
tale this fall. Center beating prep
schools and it's hackers cheering
madly and rushing around with loose
talk of defeating Harvard"
REMEMBER TECH.
In considering Center Colleges
chances next Saturday. 1t is well to
recall the history of Georgia Tech.
For several years Johnny Heisman
made the so-called Golden Tornado"
wizard eleven. He provided much
OF the breeze in that tornado with
his shift formations. Demands were
made that Tech take on some repre-
sentative Northern eleven, and finally
in 1918 Georgia Tech went to Pitts
burgh to tackle Glenn Warmers
Painters. The result was saddening.
Some birds had well nigh to walk
back to Atlanta so great was the
shock their purses felt.
The Georgia Tech eleven of 1918
was one powerful aggregation. 1t
had real class. Before tackling
Pittsburgh. 1t had cleaned up Furman
to the tune of 1873 to 0, swamped the
Eleventh Cavalry, 1873 to 0, and North
Carolina State, 1913 to 0. 1t must be
explained that North Carolina State
that year was nowhere near as strong
as it is this season. Then came the
debacle at Pittsburgh.
Some lads in Atlanta don't know
yet how the Panthers slammed Geor-
gia Tech all around, winning. 80 to 0.
They probably think there was
trick in it. Wise old Glenn Warner
knows, though, that his team simply
got the jump on Tech, smashed to
sm;thereens those fancy Heisman
formations and ran rough-shod over
a lot of young fellows half scared by
the size of the cheering mob at Forbes
Field.
Georgia Tech came back again in
1919. 1t played a better game. but
was beaten, 10 to g. by an eleven
which had just come through those
bitter battles with West Virginia and
Syracuse. 1t must have discovered
then that those one-sided victories In
Dixie meant nothing as preparations
for a contest against well-trained,
well-coached Northern eleven.
SOME IDLE DREAMS.
There Is no betting in Lexington,
KY, according to story from that
beautiful hamlet, because Everybody
believes in their hearts that Center
will tear Harvard into little bits and
strew them over the field"
mo team has ever stopped McMil-
lin or Weaver, of Center" says tn
tale of Joy from Lexington, KY.
Not far from the Harvard stadium
is another Lexington, an ancient viii
lage. 1t is the site of the famous So
called battle between the "embattled
farmers" and the soldiers of the Brit
ish king when the shot was fired that
was heard round the world"
There is a calm, quiet, old-fashion-
ed churchyard cemetery in Lexington,
Mass. it's headstones bearing names
famed in Americas earliest history.
1t offers a pleasant haven of rest for
all those misguided folk who go to
