RUTH DEFIES
AUTHORITY OF
JUDGE LANDS
Who is Biggest ",
Baseball
Sioner or tBdbe@

New York, Oct. 17.-"Babe" Ruth,
smuggling star of the New York
Yankees, has precipitated what Fed
eral Judge K. NJ. Lands, baseball
commissioner, described as a test
to determine who is the biggest
man in baseba1l-the commissioner
or the player who makes the most
home runs"
Ruth, with Bob Meusel and Bill
Plercy, of the Yankees, played in an
exhibition baseball game at Buffalo,
n. Y. yesterday, in defiance of a
formal warning from Judge Lands
that the rule prohibiting worlds
Series contestants from appearing
In exhibition games prior to the
opening of the next big league sea-
son, would be enforced. Ruth, how
ever, announced he would play
again today in a game scheduled
at Elmira, N. Y.
L still think I am in the right
and Judge Lands is wrong" Ruth
said. L see no reason why this
rule should be invoked against us
when Sisler of ST. Louis and others
who shared in the worlds series
oNS eSdAOS
unmolested by Judge Lands"
The commissioner was on his way
to Chicago today. He refused to
indicate what action he would take,
further than to say that he would
regard the case as a direct chal-
lenge of his authority.
Report that Babe Ruth has pre-
cipltated an open clash between
Judge X. M. Lands and himself by
his action in participating in an
exhibition game following his ap-
pearaRce in the worlds series, is
highly colored, according to nj. Fl.
Sexton, president of the National
Association of Minor leagues and a
member of the advisory committee
to the commissioner.
A wire from Judge Landis to MIR.
Sexton this morning, states Ruth
knowingly violated a rule that has
been in existence for several years
but the only penalty is a fine, sus-
pension or both. The fact that
Ruth openly announced he was
going to play in exhibitions after
the big series, merely aggravates
the case against him, according to
Mr.. Sexton.

Decisive Defeat of Illinois Satur.
day Brings HaWkeyes Fore
IDLY to Front.

For the first time in many years.
Iowa seems TO have a conference
championship within its grasp as a
result of the decisive manner in
which Illinois was beaten Saturday
at Iowa City. The score OF IA 10 ,
is no indication of the vast differ
ence between the two teams. The
nl4ni came within 35 yards of a
touchdown, and that was all.
If Iowa goes through with a clean
slate, chances are the title NAV
be somewhat clouded. due to tha
fact that Chicago, Wisconsin and
Ohio State are not on its schedule
Should Illinois defeat one of these
it would help Iowa considerably

in favor of the Cardinals. Their
total yardage was 367 as ;gainst
316 for Rock Island.
The Independents smashed the
line with more telling effect than
the Cardinals, gaining lat yards to
40. Driscolrs run of 35 yards
from formation helped to swell the
Cards total in this respect, while
Conzelman's dash of 20 yards
around end in the last quarter
aided Rock Island.

ity at tackle in the first half Ed
Healy took his place at the start of
the second half and was instru-
mental in slipping Driscoll several

Eddie Duggan played a hard,
smashing game during the few min
utes he was in at fullback in the
last quarter. He showed more
drive and speed than at any prev
ious time. Eddie went low and
hard, and had he been in longer
undoubtedly would have ripped up
the Cardinals defense.

Monmouth. Ill, Oct. 17.-In one
of the hardest fought football games
that has been presented to Mon
mouth fans for sometime, Mon
mouth. high school defeated Rock
Island high school Saturday after
noon by a score of 20 to IA The
goddess of luck was with the Mon
mouth outfit at least once in the
game when the touchdown was
made which put the heavy end of
the score on the side of the scales
guarded by the Maple City outfit
In the first part of the second
half, after Monmouth had annexed
two touchdowns, Monmouth punt
slipped from the arms of an Island
er and was downed by Buck of
Monmouth back of the Rock Is
land line. The opportunity was a
welcome one for the Monmouth
team for it annexed the points ne
cessary to keep the game from end
ing in a tie.
Game Hard Fought.
The first half was full of hard
fought football. The first quarter
ended with honors about even, Rock
@
the better of the contest. In the
second quarter Monmouth made use
of its effective shift play and before
the Islanders could get wise to the
movement the ball had been carried
across two times by Drain for
touchdownS.
Rock Island scored in last half
when Shelter got away twice. Dor
man kicked goal both times. The
Rock Island team played fast foot
ball throughout the game and easily
outclassed Monmouth when it came
to passes. The game was a clean
one, there being few penalties and
no arguing.
Dope before the game was de-
cldedly in favor of the visiting team.

STALEYSC COME
FROM BEHIND
TO WIN, 1918
Rochester Throws Scare Into the
Team Which Has Hopes Of
National Title.

Chicago, Oct 17.-Despite the
brilliant playing of Howard Berry,
former University Of Pennsylvania
athlete, who scored all the points
for the visitors, Staleys of Decatur
came from behind yesterday and
defeated Rochester in an interest
ing professional football game at
Cubs park, 16 to Is.
Rochester secured an early lead
when Berry made a dropkick from
the 23-yard line in the first quar-
ter. Staleys evened the count in
the second quarter, when Dutch
Sternaman booted the oval between
the posts from placement from the
30-yard line.
Shortly after the second half,
Staleys forced the oval to Roches-
ter's 10-yard line. They were held
on two attempts and on the third
down, Berry intercepted a forward
pass and sprinted IS yards for a
touchdown. He then kicked goal.
Staleys then set to work. They
forced the ball well into Roches-
ter territory, but lost it on a FUN
BILE Berry elected to punt. The
hrst kicking attempt was blocked.
but Berry recovered the ball for
his team. On his second effort
Trafton broke through and blocked
the punt Scott fell on the oval
back of the goal for the StaIey's
first touchdown.
In the fourth quarter StaIevs
called the passing game into com
mission and after few attemnts
which went wide of their intended
marks, Huftine shot a 35-yard for
ward to Stinchcomb. who was
stopped on the Rochester 25-vard
line. A successful attack was
made on the visitors line, which
resulted in Hufiine driving through
the right side for the winning
touchdown

PROSPECTS FOR CATTLE MEN
Nebraska College Of Agriculture En-.
couraging Farmers to Increase
Their Operations.

The Nebraska College Of Agricul-
ture is encouraging farmers to expand
their live stock operations. The
scarcity of all kinds of stock, especial
ly cattle, points to continued good
prices. With feed prices going lower
better days seem to be near for both
the live stock raiser and the live stock
feeder. While it is true that many
feeders lost money in the last two
years, feed prices may be so per cent
lower than last year. Likewise cheap
er feed and labor should stimulate
live stock raising. The number OF
cattle in the United States has beer
decreasing at an alarming rate. The
number in the United States has de
creased from 80 head for every 10G
persons in 1900 to AZ head in 1919
During the same period the rate Of
slaughter increased 100000 head an
nually. Some people go so far as to
predict that in few years only mil
lionaires can have beefsteak on their
tables. unless live stock production is
stimulated. ..
