The revival services at the First
Baptist church, which began the 22nd
Of May for two weeks duration, have
progressed with marked success dur
ing the past week. Morning services
are being held, beginning at 1890
and ending at 1880, since Sunday,
and will continue until the close Of
the meeting on the 18th of June.
Rev. G. p. Wauford, pastor, who
is conducting the revival, preached
q strong sermon last Sunday evening
to a large and appreciatiVe audience,
which packed the church auditorium.
He made strong defense of Chris
tianity and held up the gospels of
Jesus as the only hope OF mankind
and civilization. All his sermons
since the beginning Of the meeting
have been strong, to the point, whole
some, helpful and afire with the zeal
Of the faith He announces that his
sermons will be characterized by
simplicity, plainness of speech, alive
with modern problems and straight
to the point, without any regard as
to who may be the recipient of his
exposition of the Christian faith.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Fred Scholfield, Of
Fort Scott, Kans., are conducting the
singing. They have worked wonders
with their choir since the opening Of
the revival, and their reputation as
gospel singers has increased each day.
Remarks are prevalent that they
rank among the best gospel singers
who have assisted in evangelistic
meetings in Covington. The singing
has been one of the distinctive and
outstanding features of the meeting
and highly enjoyed BY those in at
tendance.
There have been about Is additions
to the church thus far. Sunday
morning at Sunday school there will
be a special service for the Young
peonle Rev. Waufcrd is pleased
with the progress of the meeting and
looks forward to increased success.

tend, and cooperation from eye,v
source will be appreciated. Morning
and evening services begin at 1920

June 20 is to be Upton County
Day at the agricultural experiment
station at Jackson and a large dele
cation of farmers from the county, it
is expected, win attend. The day viii
be taken up in showing the visitors
about over the farm and pointing out
the various experiments that have
been carried out at the station this
year There have been quite num-
Der of experiments carried out and
the outcome, together with the adj
vice as to how the experiment was
conducted, will prove of much in-
terest. County Agent Hollingsworth
states that he thinks he will be able
to arrange transportation through the
country for any farmers who want
to attend the meeting and who have
no cars.
Crimson clover seed were being
saved very successfully Wednesday
by Mr.. A. M. Moose, of the Clopton
vicinity, with device made by Mr..
w. d. Poihdexter. Mr.. Poindexter
made the apparatus from the de
rections he found in government
bulletin. The clover was making a
good yield
Crimson clover is used as q cover
crop and to restore nitrogen 30 the
land, thereby building it up. It is
worth but very little as hay crop.
The field that Mr.. Moose is now har-
vesting will be planted to COW peas
as soon as the seed can be saved and
the ground prepared. The seed will
not terminate we'll if over one year
old. This makes it to the farmers
advantage to save his own seed, as
he can be certain Of their age.
Though Mr. Moose has but few
acres, enough seed will be saved to
plant pretty large acreage in his
community this fall.
The crop can. be planted in cotton
when it is worked the last time and
will protect the land from erosion
all winter.
The dates for the dairy campaign
which is to be conducted in the coun-
ty have been fixed for the week Of
July $3.50. Meetings will be held
in about 10 community centers where
it is practical for the people to enc
gage in the dairy business. Arrange
ments have been made to have speak
ers here from the Division Of Ex-
tension at Knoxville and other ex-
perts in the business, who will not
only talk on the opportunities Of
fered in this business. but will illus
trate their talks with motion pic
lures, showing the various methods
employed in different parts Of the
country.

and handing II to the inferior Is
bound to cheaper the title, and when
the fans lose respect for a title much
of the interest in boxing will be lost.
Champions Jack Britton and Benny
Leonard have come to the conclusion
that IT is not safe for them to risk
their titles in New York. and such de.
cisions as that in the Herman-Buff af-
fair show that they have plenty of
reason to hesitate. There Is such a
thing as going to extremes in protect
ing titleholder. but II is only right
that a champion should be allowed to
retain the honors unless his oppon-
ent clearly shows that he Is the better
man.
A champion, like every other ath-
lete, has his off days, and he cannot
always win by a knockout or by a
wide margin. Unless his opponent
shows general superiority the cham
pion should not lose the honors when
bout happens to be 50 close that
the decision could go either way.

EMANCIPATION
Alumni of Navy, Harvard, and
Other Big Institutions Make
Real Secrecy Difficult.

THE utter failure of the In,
diana mystery team" at Har.
ward brings to mind the fact
that there is little mystery in
these so-called mystery teams"
West Point, whose graduates are
stationed at army posts and Of.
fices in all parts of the country
prides itself on the amount of
football information that drifts in
fror, its graduates each year. It's
football library is said to be filled
with diagrams of plays, outlines of
attacking and defending systems
and other tactical football mat
ter gathered from the college grid
irons adjoining each army post or
station.
But it is doubtful II West Point e
football information is more complete
than Harvard's-and certainly not
more so than Harvards could be
did the Crimson football authorities
desire 1t. for Harvard also has a widely
scattered alumni.
Coast for its Pasadena game with
Oregon, there was Ernie Swigert, for.
mer Harvard quarterback, with notes
and diagrams OF Oregon's plays.
gathered through a seasons scouting
of the Lumbermen.
Long before the New Years Day
game Harvard coaches and through
them the team knew that Oregon EN-.
ployed a quick shift into an unbal-
lanced line; that Oregon concentrated
its attack upon opposing tackles, and
that they employed the schoolboy I'm
hurt" play, in which the apparently
injured man, after waiting for his
teammates to get on side. jumped to
his feet and started with the ball for
the opposing goal line.
1t may be remembered that Eddie
Mahan saw the Centre College team
display its football wares one year
before the Praying Colonels" came
to the Stadium, and that one or two
Crimson coaches secuted the Danville
team in games Immediately prior to
the Centre-Harvard contest.
Do not jump at the conclusion West
Point and Harvard are the only col
leges that scout future opponents. II
you have, we will tip you to the fact
DR., Billy Bull OF the Yale coaching
staff, has spent the past two Satur-
days at the Harvard Stadium, that
Red" Louden, advisory coach at Dart
mouth, was reported scouting at Co.
lumbia last week; that almost every
college OF any size In the well.known
u. S. A., has one or more scouts OBJ.
serving the play OF respective future
opponents each week this season.
Scouting, however deplorable and
you may consider II.
has become an accepted factor In
college football. Everybody's doing Il.
and the only point we wish to make
Is that Harvard-because of the desire
OF so many TO land on Harvard's
and seemingly does do
\ more thorough going Job Of scouting
than do other colleges. and the "mys.
terry" of the seeming mysterious

Two more newcomers were on view
this week when Fay Keiser, the man
who recently defeated Bob Martin,
and Dave Shade met last Friday
night. Dave is reputed to be much
the best Of the three fighting brothers.
1t was only recently that he returned
from Australia, where he beat all
comers, from middleweights to heavy
weights.
Down under" they think very well
Of Shade. While the heavyweight
division is particularly weak in Aus
tralia at the present time. Shade per-
formed so well that some Of the critics
were inclined to look upon him as a
second Les Darcy. He will find much
stiffer opposition over here. and per-
haps he will not be able to live up to
his Australian reputation, but If he
can fight better than his younger
brother he should do we'll enough.
Winner VIII Be Welcome.
Not much was heard Of Keiser until
his recent victory over Bob Martin.
Martin was looked upon as the best
prospect in the heavyweight division,
and his defeat by Keiser came as a big
surprise.
English boxing fans were terribly
when Boy Mccormick
failed to beat Joe Beckett for the Brit
ish heavyweight title. They never
have forgiven Beckett for the humili-
ating one round defeat at the hands of
Georges Carpenter, and every time
Joe starts every one roots for him
TO lose. Joe disappoints when he
comes through and gets a severe pan
ming instead of praise.
Beckett was roasted so badly after
he stopped Mccormick that 1t savored
Of persecution and caused a few Of the
critics to come to his defense. They
admit that Joe is not the man to re.
store British prestige in the boxing
line, but declare that he did well in his
battle with Mccormick and even
showed considerable generalship.
Descamps Said Something.
While the argument between the op-
posing factions was at its height Des.
camps the manager of Georges Carpen.
tier, made a crack that was ruled to
be entirely out OF order. Descamps
gave out a statement in which he said
that Beckett was so soft that Georges
could beat him In round even If he
got into the ring without training.
Although the English critics feel
that IL is their right and privilege to
roast their own men, this wallop from
an outsider aroused a great deal Of Ill
feeling and II has injured Carpenters g
popularity to considerable extent.
1t was pointed out that the French.
man had no cause to cast insults upon
Beckett, since 1t was through Beckett

PRO FOOTBALL
GETS ITS TRIAL
THIS SEASON
Capt. Jordan, Leader of WASH
ington Eleven, HustIing to
Make Game Success Here.

SSTHE present season will either
be the making or the death
knell of professional foot
ball" This statement, made last
night by Capt. Tim Jordan, president
of the Washington eleven, just about
sums up the condition of the pro-
fessional game.
With pro teams holding forth in
New York, Philadelphia, Akron, To-
ledo, Dayton. Detroit, Columbus and
Washington, as well as quite a few
of the smaller cities throughout Penn
sylvania and New York States, it will
mean that next year there will either
be couple Of real leagues, playing
regular schedules of Saturday, Sunday
and holiday games, or that the game
will revert back to the collegiate or
club basis.
And. frankly. the only difference
between the pro game Of today and the
club game of a couple Of years ago, is
the fact that now, there is no bones
about the fact that the athletes share
in the gate receipts, while in former
Gets Star Players.
Jordon has secured many good
athletes for his eleven. The hustlng
captain is desirous Of having the
strongest possible combination rep
resent Washington, and with that
end in view secured the services Of
one OF Georgetown's greatest ends,
Jack Hegarty, to coach his crew.
He has managed to get some real
football men lined up, and in Mack
ert, Jack Sullivan, Watson, Leighty
Mccarthy, Anderson, Crouch, Cir.
ardi, McCarty, Van Meter, Yitkus
and the remainder Of the squad, he
has some clever men.
And, in addition, Captain Jordan
realizes that he must give the fans
high-class football in every respect.
With that end in line, he has stip-
ulated that four officials must work
each game. Among the men who
contests at the park this fall will he
found Coaches Metzler, Apple.
Green, Guyon, Sutton, and Billy
Martin, not to mention the host of
former gridiron stars who may
break into print once more, just Tor
old times sake.
Books Famous Teams.
Then again, full fifteen-minute pc
RODS will be the order Of the day.
This means something to the average
football fan, who hates to see ten
minute sessions on the cards.
The Washington club will stack
up against the best Independent tai
ent in this neck of the woods before
the season is over. Captain Jordan
has booked the Akron Silents, the
famous Columbus (Ohio) Panhandles,
made nationally famous bv the five
Nesser brothers, as well as the De-
troit Maroons and the New York
Giants.
This Sunday the locals will tangle
with the fast-going Lancaster Athletic
Club eleven, at the ball yard, with
Referee Greene getting the boys away
promptly at 3 o'clock. Just who will
start for the locals is not known right
now, but It's a safe bet that when the
final whistle blows, Coach Hegarty
will be ready to cut his squad down by
quite a few, as he plans to use every
man in Sundays affair

INDIANA CANDIDATES
DEFY BAN ON CONVICTS
Exciting Municipal Elections
in Several Cities.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. both Demo-
cratic and Republican organizations
here tonight claimed prospective VIC
tories in to-morrow's election for Mayor
and other city offices. Samuel Lewis
Shank Republican candidate for Mayor,
and his Democratic opponent, Boyd
Ralston. closed their bitterly fought
campaigns with addresses.
Much interest Is being shown in other
Indiana cities where municipal elections
will be held tomorrow, particularly
Terre Haute, where Dom Roberts
Democrat. Is running against Ora Davis,
Republican.
Roberts served q sentence In the Fed
eral prison at Fort Leavenworth after
having been convicted of conspiring ia
violate the election laws. A law was
passed by the last General Assembly
which would prevent persons convicted
Of violating a Federal law from holding
office. II Is expected that Roberts. II
elected. will attempt to prove the law
unconstitutional.
A similar situation exists at Muncie
where DR.. Rollin Fl. Bunch, Democrat
who served a sentence In a Federal
prison. Is a candidate against d. J. j.

HYLAN SUPPORTERS
PUT ODDS AT 10 TO I
Large Amounts AuDait Takers
at B to 4.

Confident supporters of Mayor Hylan
for reelection raised the betting odds
In the Wall street district yesterday to
10 to 1. compared with and z to l at
the end OF last week. w. l.. Darnell &
Co. reported single bet of $4,000
against $4,000. the larger sum being put
up by q big uptown manufacturer OF
women's dresses. Both Darnell &c Co.,
and James w. Ball & Co. said they had
large amounts of Democratic money at
TO but that Curran money was scarce
at those odds.
Richard C. Fabb. Of James w. Ball
& Co.. who has followed betting records
since early In the sos, said there was
never before such odds as 10 to ] In
a Mayoralty campaign, although the
odds on Warren q. Harding's chances
for the Presidency last year went to
10 to / and even IL to l on the day
before election.
About $500 was wagered on even
terms that Hylan's plurality would range
from 100000 to 225.O00. Darnell & Co.
reported bet of $1,000 even money that
Hylan would carry the Bronx by $4,000
votes and another Of the same amount
that he would get Brooklyn by $4,000.
