the earmarks OF authenticity.

reason it, should DR.. Hatfield then
decide negatively, there would llRe'

hardly necessary to state. desire.
for one reason or another known
only to themselves, a contest In the
primary.
Time was. not so long ago, when
had party leaders in the southern
part Of tho state united to encour-
age Representative Wells Goody-
Koontz in tho undertaking, he
might have stepped out for the SEN
atorship. Nothing like that hap
nened, and it is believed by observ-
ers that the able and popular Fifth
district representative has put temp
tntion behind him. Nor have the
party leaders In that section agreed
on anybody. They ure said TO be
unable to: nor GoodykontZ, Hat

There are too many in that region
obssesed with the same ambition,
It Is said.
The glst OF the talk appears to
Indicate that. among all those mem
toned as suitable material to chpl-
lenge Sutherland, there has been a
more pronounced movement OF SEN
tlment toward Virgil L. Highland
than toward any one else. But Mr..
Highlands close friends say that
he is not looking toward the senu-
torship in 1922; that his gaze Is
further into the future, and seems
10 them to be resting upon the
campaign Of 1924. Along with 9TH
er men supposed to have senatorial
ambitions, he has. 1t would seem,
acquiesced In standing aside to
give the down.state leaders with
the same ambition the opportunity
afforded by next years campaign to
try TO realize II.
The only known factor in the sen
atoriaI equation formed by the sit
llation In each party combined, IS
H. Hutherland, the senator whose
term is flowing swiftly to its termi-
nation. He is, Of course, a candi-
date to succeed himself. To para

Some Game, We'll Say.

A battle for the mirth provoking indoor championship was staged in connection with the regularly sched- uled contests, when the Turks" and the Greeks explained by Freq Monsees and Louis Porta. collided, and collided is the word. For 2U minutes (although it seemed like hours to the we'll conditioned mem bers of both teams), the crowd was kept in a state of near hysteria, as the gladiators rolled, tossed, clawed and sprawled about the court in comique effort to gain possession of the ball About every form of sport with the possible exception of aquat- ics was brought into the play. Some of the players would accept the ball in baseball attitude, others must have thought they were playing soccer, a few used a little of the gridiron stuff, while not a few resorted to checkers in moving the ball from place to place, with it's proximity close to the floor. So brilliant was the work or both teams, that the advice of ex- perts must be secured before the stars can be announced. That the quintets paid strict attention to the coaching of their magnificent leaders.
