Annette Abbot Adams Would
Accept Jurors Regardless of Sex

Annette Abbot Adams, first woman to
hold the important position of Assistant
Attorney General of the United States, be-
lieves that sex has no place In the court
room. 1t Is her opinion that since the ex-
tension of the suffrage to women has placed
them on an equal footing politically with
men there Is no reason why there should
not be mixed juries of men and women, re
gardless Of whether the cases be murder,
divorce or others involving more serious
moral and sex questions.
Mixed juries," said Mrs. Adams In re-
sponse to a question by New York HER
AID correspondent, certainly II they come
that way. Take them as they come out
of the box, whether they be all men, all
women or mixed. A juror is a person.
not male or female.
"As to this moral issue in mixed juries
that is being waved like a red flag, / think
that It is all piffle. ! don't believe any
facing facts together. And besides, parlor
talk doesn't leave many fresh shocks for

A quizzical expression came over Mrs.
Adams's face as she added that you couldn't
keep the women out of the court room any
way. II they were carefully protected
out Of the jury box, you would find them
as defendant, plaintiff or on the witness
stand and always in the audience till the

lUNEARNED RUNS
BRING VICTORY
TO GIANT CREW
Judge Lands Fauors
Return to 7-Can1e
Series.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Oct. 14.-After 16
years back in the second or third
row. John J. McGraw sat on the
top of the baseball world today.
His Giants were the champions
of the world and his triumph was
complete.
Young Erin" Ward and the
never failing Roger Peckenpaugh
enabled the National league cham
pions to win the worlds series
without an earned run in the two
last games.
Ward wabbled in the seventh
game and paved the way for the
Giant victory.
The impregnable Peck cracked in
the pinch yesterday and knocked
the props out from under Waite
Hoyt's brilliant game.
Judge Lands said today that two
more closely matched clubs and two
with more fighting spirit never
played in a worlds series, and most
of the 269,976 fans who saw the
eight games will agree with him.
McGraw said before going into
the series that it looked like the
limit, meaning nine games, and that
pitching would be the edge. Pitcn-
ing did decide the series. The Yanks
were finished yesterday. Had they
won behind Hoyt they would have
had no one to start today
The faliacy of the nine game ser
les was so much brought to light
in this series that Judge Lands is
going to propose a return to the
old standard Of seven games.
Players and fans alike were
fatigued by eight games here and
the feeling was shown yesterday
when the big Brush stadium was
just q little more than half filled. If
New York can't pack the Polo
grounds TO IA worlds series, some
thing is missing.
The series, regardless of two
small crowds, established an at
tendance and receipts record. The
paid attendance for the eight games
amounted to $900,233 from 259,97C
spectators. This was $177,S19 more
than the previous record made in
1919 when the Cincinnati Reds and
the Chicago White Sox were play
ing. The attendance was also
1S6.075 greater.
The Giants, as the winning club,
get $5,265 each and each Yankee
viii get $3.50.
The Cleveland Indians and the
Pirates, second in the
two leagues, will divde $43S7S
and the St. Louis clubs which fin
ished third Will split S29.252 The
advisory board Will take $135 036
and the club owners get the bal
ance of S472.675.

James Crusinberry. well known
snort writer of the Chicago IT'D
rne. was in Rock Island yesterday.
He was here i'm the course OF trip
throrch the cities of the Little
Nineteen conference. having stop
ned off to inspect the Augustaha
team, Finding Augustana ready 10
leave on the afternoon train f0r
bloomington, he tarried a while be-
fore resuming his journey to Iowa
CITY 10 witness the IOwa-Iiiinois
game there tomorrow.
Crusinberry was a spectator at
the Staley-Independent game at
Decatur Monday afternoon. A diff
ference he sees between high class
professional football and that play
ed by the big colleges and univer-
stiles is in the execution OF plays.
The pros are not as snappy as the
better trained college players, he
saws. However, in Analysing the
respective merits of the teams, he
said Rock Island appeared to have
its plays and signals mastered bet
ter than the Staleys and ran them
off with greater assurance.
Having time to spare. Crusin-
berry readily accepted an invita-
ton to watch the Independents i'm
practice drill at Douglas park. He
was considerably impressed by the
spirit of the players and predicted
they would present Il more fOrmid-
able front when opposed by the
Staleys next time. ODE WOenig and
Oke Smith attracted much OF his
attention by their ability TO snatch
forwards. He particularly liked
Rock Islands short passing attack.
which he termed the most effective
system of offensa used today.
Crusinberry intends to return to
Rock Island Monday for look at
Augustana in action.

GRID SUCCESS
FORECAST BY
ILLINOIS WIN
Initial Victory of Sea-
son Against S. d.
Shows Class.

Urbana, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-THE easy
$40 victory over South Dakota last
Saturday was of extreme value in
showing what Illinois prospects
are for a successful season.
Seven touchdowns, as many
goals, and a place kick sent the
lllini away on a good start for the
season. 1t was a game of trial for
Zuppke, for he was able to use his
entire squad No less than 26 Illini
warriors took part in the game.
The following veterans appeared
in the lineup: Captain Walquist,
Crangle, Peden, Mccain, OrIander
and Sabo, all of last seasons team;
Reichle, end of the 1919 champion
ship eleven, and Dutch Kaiser, half
back of the 1913 season. OF the
new men on the squad, McQuillan,
Vogel and Anderson showed up
well in the line, while Herrig. Du-
rant, Sternaman and Tabor looked
well in the backtield. The latter
proved to be a valuable under
study of Jack Crangle.
Captain Walquist played like a
veteran in his new position as
quarterback. Sabo, heretofore a
half-back, played an excellent game
at end and kicked six goals from
touchdown in as many attempts.
The only goal kick from placement
was made by Anderson.
There was nothing exciting about
the game with South Dakota. PLAYS
through the line were most prom
inent although forward passes were
ued to advantage in the latter part
of the game. Illinois need of a
good punter was very evident for
only 40 yards was averaged on the
kicks. Al Mohr, veteran. who aver
ages considerably better, was out
of the lineup because of scholastic
difficulties, and Swede HelstrOm,
veteran punter, is out with a brok-
en- leg.
This Saturday Illinois takes on
Iowa at Iowa City, in the first con-
ference game for each OF the teams.
The varsity squad has been work
ing against the Hawkeye forma-
tons of the freshmen squad for the
past week. The Hawkeye team,
with nine of the last seasons vet
Grams, showed its strength last
Saturday when it defeated Notre
Dame in a grUelling game by a
1O-7 score. The Iowa game prom
ises to be hard game for the IlIni
team, which is still in the making.
Every one close to the team real
ICES that the Hawkeye veterans will
be a hard team to beat this early
i'll the season.

ROCK ISLAND
CONFIDENT OF
ANOTHER WIN
However, Team VIII Be Somewhat
Crippled When Faced by
Monmouth Gridders.
BY PIGSKIN PETE.

Rock Island high team will be
the only one of the tri-city schools
playing Saturday, when they clash
with Monmouth at the Monmouth
field. Davenport and Moline grid
ders are planning to make the trip
to Iowa City to view the Iowa
Illinois game.
The locals expect a fairly easy
time at Monmouth and should come
back with their third win of the
season, no worse for the struggle
The crimson and gold aggregation
are crippled to no small extent
from the Galesburg battle, and it
is probable that Olson and Pannell
will be out of the game Both are
suffering from injured legs, and
although the rest of the men are
still at work, many of them are
complaining of sore spots and
bruises that will hinder efficient
execution of plays.
Monmouth Gloomy.
The Maple City fighters are plan
ming on the game as one of the
hardest on their program for the
season and are rather gloomy as to
its outcome. This will be the first
home game of the season for them
and will probably be supported by
a throng of admirers hoping to
cheer the home boys to victory.
They have been working hard in
the last week in hopes of giving
Rock Island at least a run tor its
money.
Practically the same lineup will
be started for Rock Island as
against Galesburg. In case Olson
and Pannell will not be able to
start the game, Searle and Reed
will take care of the ends. Reed
has been showing up fairly well in
the backfield and the playing OF
Searle has been especially COM
mendaDle. Captain Howard DOMAIN

two injured shins and Mayer and
