Hoyt won by the score OF s TO /
where. if he had faltered or wavered
at any step of his journey through the
heavy shades, the hard fighting Giants
would have smothered him beneath an
avalanche of runs. In six OF the nine
innings the Giants had Hoyt sur
rounded and cut off from supp]ies
charging desperately down his guard
but on each occasion he turned them
back in rout without an extra culver

another snlper from right field must
not be overlooked. BY two of the
greatest throws that ever cut down q
runner under full steam Bob Meusel
came to his pitchers aid and shattered
two threatening rallies in the nick Of
time.
The first was classic that must
take its place among the star plays of
all time. The Giants had already scored
IN the first. In the second, with two

HIGH JACKER' BANDITS
R0bbING HARVESTERS
IN WESTERN FIELDS
(By Associated Press)

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 6.-Ban-
dts termed High Jackers,' who are
making a business of riding freight
trains in the wheat belt of Kansas and
certain parts of Oklahoma robbing
harvest hands are becoming more
bold and are receiving increasing at
tention from local authorities in those
states, according to reports reaching
here today.
High Jacker, activities, which have
been reported almost daily throughout
the harvest season, reached a climax
when two of the robbers attempted to
hold-up a party of former soldiers and
harvest hands aboard a freight train
running between Kechi and Furley,
Kas., Wednesday night.
The former soldiers, who had Just
been discharged from Texas army
camp began shooting and in the ex-
change of shots that followed one
man. said to have been high Jack
er" was killed and four of the former
soldiers and harvest hands injured.
The remaining robbers escaped after
a terrific fight in which he threw half
dozen of his opponents from the
moving train.
Investigate Killings.
With the number of complaints from
victims of the robbers growing, Off
cials of several smaller Kansas towns
we're reported to be investigating mys-
terious murders in their localities on
the theory that the High Jackers"
may have committed them.
There have been five or more un-
explained killings in the Kansas
wheat belt in the last month, the vic
Tins having been supposed farm
hands.
Especial efforts are being made In
all of the wheat belt towns, it was
said, to ascertain whether the High
Jacker" operations are the work of an
organized band, or whether the men
are individual criminals
The High Jackers" usually operate
in pairs They go among groups OF
harvevst hands and pose as fellow
workers, learning which of their asso
ciates carries the most money, and al

If he resists, he is slugged and

the members suddeny find themselves
confronted with a pair or revolvers
in the hands of supposed friends, and

BILLY SUNDAY FINANCE
TO APPEAL
TO EVERY CITIZEN

BILLY" Sunday proba bly, will wage
his evangelistic campaign in Rich
mond for six or seven weeks during
April and May of 1922, according to
Rev. R. w. Stoakes, president of the
BILLY" Sunday evangelistic commit
tee in Richmond. Rev. Stoakes has
just returned from a conference with
Fred W. Rapp, Billy Sundays busi-
ness manager, at Winona Lake.
1t was thought at first that Rev.
Sunday would be here during March
and April, but the plan now is to es-
cape the Eastear season, when local
churches will be holding services of
their own. Setting of definite dates,
however, is said to be impossible at
this time.
According to Rev. Stoa kes, Billy
Sunday is now turning his attention as
zealously to the industrial problems of
the country as he formerly did to the
liquor question. He is at present try
ing to arrange for a series of meet
ings in Williamson, W. Va, where
there has been so much trouble re-

A site committee appointed at the
last meeting of the evangelistic com
mittee is to begin the search for a
suitable location for building tab.
ernacle, early in the fall. Solicitation
for funds with which to finance the
campaign in Richmond also will be
started soon.
Although the finance committee has
not definitely determined the method
to be used in securing funds, it is
believed that pledges for approximate
ly $4,000 will be taken, payable in the
!, spring of 1922. The remainder Of tbs
fund, probably amounting to from S6
600 to $4,000 will be raised during the
first two or three weeks of the meet
ing.
Rev. Stoakes said Saturday that tho
campaign is to be one which all citi
zens may take part. He emphasized
the fact that most of the local Protes
tant churches are cooperating, ant
that the coming campaign was to be
in the interest of Richmond as {
whole.

MANY WOULD TAKE
TEACHING POSITIONS
IN RICHMOND SCHOOLS

I'VE could fill all of our school staff
vacancies today if we were ready"
said superintendent ]. H. Bentley, of
the Richmond public schools. Satur-
day. There are still about IL vacan-
cies existing. Appointment of other
teachers is being held up until the Sc
lection of a new school superintend-
ent to take Prof. Bentley's place.
There are many applications for po-
sitions in the Richmond schools, ac-
cording to Prof. Bentley. During the
last several years the applicants were
not so numerous, but this year there
seems to be no shortage.
Depression is Factor
1t was Prof Bentley's opinion that
If teachers were difficult to obtain
in any states it probably would be in
Nebraska or Oklahoma.
He said that the cause for the
abundance of teachers proba bly, was
due to industrial depression and a de-
cline in the high wages paid in indus
also fixed the teachers minimum sal
ary at $500 a year.
While the state law requires that a
person shall have completed high
and one year in either state normal
school or college, the Richmond stan
dard has made it necessary that a
prospective teacher shall have com
pleted high school and two years in
either a state normal school or col
lege.
Maintain Rigid Standard.
With plenty of teachers at hand
school officials are insisting that all o.
the requirements for holding positions
in the schools be fulfilled, according
to Prof. Bentley.
New teachers must now possess a
license in each of the IA subjecs re
quired by law.
The subjects prescribed include or
biography, reading, writing, arith
metic, geography, grammar. physiol
ogy, United States history, literature
music, drawing, domestic science and
agriculture.

I'VE also must make an earnest
