Agriculture Play A Big Hit

The biggest bit of tne season
and many would have us believe
many seasons past, was the play
Back to the Farm" given last
Thursday night, under the aus.
pices of the Vocational Agricul.
tural class.
The play contains some valu.
able lessons. The value of
training for farmer the same as
any profession was very clearly
impressed. Every farmer
should have seen the play.
The play was over ably presen.
ted. Some new play talent was
uncovered, which had never had
an opportunity before to express
itself. This play was worked up
on a very short notice. Mrs.
Norman, the director, says she
was never able to present a play
in such a short time before.
Those taking part were: Bruce
Daniels, Hulda Chaffin, E. M.
Funk, Mrs. E. M. Funk, J. T.
Carter, Grace Smiley, Rhine.
hart Drybread, Roland Williams,
K, D. Murrell and Eileen Clark.
Mrs. Moorman directed the
play. Seymour Citizen.
This play will be given here in
this city at the Gymnasium
night.

Mays, the Worlds Great.
est Pitcher.

There has been a great deal of
interest in Mansfield in the
world series of base ball which
was played last week, from the
fact that Carl Mays of this city.
was the star pitcher for the
New York Yanks. The series
was won by the New York Gi.
ants in a close and hard fought
battle. Phil Douglas was the
star pitcher for the Giants and
he opposed Mays twice in the
box. While Douglas is a won.
derful pitcher and did some
great work in this game, we be-.
lieve Mays is little the best Of
the two, and that it was not
Nays fault that the champion
ship went to the Giants ins !,
of the Yanks, Mays team.
Carl Mays is perhaps the best
and safest baseball pitcher in
the world today. Following is a
press dispatch which, compares
the qualities of the star pitcher
for the two teams: Carl Mays,
while the loser, has to be given
credit for an equally notable, if
less successful, performance on
the mound. The blond Nilsson.
rian was steadier than Douglas,
not issueing a pass and allowing
but six hits to eight for his op.
ponent, and but for a slip, most
unfortunate for Mays and his
Yankee team mates, on the part
of Aaron Ward in the seventh
inning, the game might have
gone into extra innings with the
score tied. l to l..

Only Gains Made Are
by Forwar Passes {;
Score, l3 to O

PROVIDENCE, R. l., Oct 8. = New
York University failed to come through
with a win over Brown this afternoon,
but held the big Brown team to 13
to Q score in hard-fought battle New
York was unable to show an offensive
until the third period, when she flashed
grand march up the field from her
8-yard line TO Browns 20-yard mark,
and again in the fourth period with
three minutes to play, when she car
ried the ball ffty-dve yards on forward
passes, losing in a desperate attempt
to cross Browns line by three uncom-
pleted forward passes.
Captain Weinheimer could not get
away from the Brown tacklers and
everything that New York tried, except
the forward passing. game, was smoth-
cred. New York hid this manner Of
attack until late in the contest and
might have given Brown serious
trouble had it been started sooner, as
Coach Robinson was forced to send in
his very best to check this style of play
Brown showed strong offensive
which New York battled at all angles,
but could not effectively check. The
fumbling on the part OF Brown, when
within a few yards Of New Yorks goal
line, married this part Of the play and
kept the score down. Twice in the
first period Brown was inside on the
lo-yard line when fumbles saved New
York. 1t was not until late in the
second period that Brown, after crush
ing New York by repeatedly battering
the<line, pushed Spellman over for 8
touchdown.
In the third period New York opened
its aerial attack and with fine forwa I'd
passes starting from Weinheimer with
Adams on the receiving end, shot across
the field for a sixty-yard march that
was halted when Adams, of Brown, in
tercepted forward pass and placed
Brown in the running again by fine
circle of New York's left end for thirty
five yards, which put Spellman in place
to score again.
With three minutes to play New York
pulled some great forward passing.
Weinheimer shot one to Adams for
thirty yards and Heucles sent away an
other that netted twenty five more.
With less than a minute to play New
York tried three more, but all were
incomplete.
Weinheimer, 'sehres, Adams and
Heucles were outstanding In New
York's play, while Adams. Eisenberg
Shurtlef and Spelman were in the
lin eight for Brown.
