It seems the football statisticians have overlooked the best drop kick ing feat of the season.
 In a record of the long distance kicking feats for the season just closed, it was given out that the one best drop kicking feat of the year was from the 4S-yard line.
 Robert Fitzke of Wyoming was given credit for such performance. and it was widely heralded as the best of the season. IL looks as if the statisticians had kicked one. in con- ferring such an honor on the West ern player.
 West Virginia Wesleyan lays claim to the honor of having on its team the champion long distance dror kicker of the season. Hahback Les ter Radman turned the trick, a kick from the 51-yard line.
 The record feat came in the first game of the season against tht strong University of West Virginia

 Lovett beat Ben Turpin in his sec ond start and Eddie looked the part of an old head. The boy has much to learn. but he demonstrated in his fight with Turpin that he has every thing needed in a top -notcher. Few fighters after years of experience displayed more headwork than Eddie in his second fight. Perhaps it was a flash. but it was a good one. If it was Eddie's real ability Eddie is going to be a champion. He carries himself like Jim Corbett; has a per- feet left jab and a powerful right: he can feint as gracefully as Charlie White and he is fast.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Midget Smith of New York was given the judges decision over Pete Herman, former bantamweight champion at the end of their 15-round bout in Madison Square Garden tonight.
 Herman, who apparently was not at his best, employed wide open tac- tics against Smith. He fared we'll in the earlier rounds. but his care lessness led him into many tight places and he was worsted in the hard exchanges.
 In the third round Smith cut Her mans lip and eye with hard rights
 The New Orleans boy rallied in the tenth but had tired and his blows had little effect
 Herman weighed 11sA pounds and
 Smith 1191s.

eleven. West Virginia Wesleyan was beaten, 35 to 3, but the lone three points were the source of much joy to the vanquished team.
 The West Virginia Wesleyan team didn't get closer to the opposing goal than the 40-yard line, and only on one occasion. After Wesleyan had been held for downs, Radman dropped back to the 51-yard line and booted the ball over the bar.
 The kick was not without it's sensa- tional features. IL was half blocked by an opposing lineman. It carried through. however. struck the cross bar. poised there for second. and then fell over on the other side of the posts for a field goal.
 It is a very interesting fact that the three points scored by this kick were the only ones registered by the West Virginia Wesleyan eleven in the ten games of the 1921 season. In- cidentally it was the first field goal | Radman kicked in two years.-B. F..

During the progress of the recent major league meetings in New York the front page and the sport page of the newspapers were filled with the testimony in the trial involving the racehorse Playfellow..
 Playfellow is a full brother of the famous Man O War. That, of course, was a big boost for Playfellow. Fig uring the dope, one would naturally expect Playfellow to be considerable of a racing horse.
 Harry Sinclair, the millionaire oil magnate who dables in the racing game merely for the pleasure he gets our of it, took liking to Playfellow. Being related to &an O War. Sin clair naturally thought he was O. K.
 However, to be on the safe side, he had his trainer look the horse over Playfellow is good to look at. It is alleged that his owner pronounced the horse physically fit.
 Sinclair paid s1oO.Ooo for PlayfeI- low. Shortly after he. bought the horse he discovered Playfellow was far from being fit. He proved to be windsucker and a cribber.
 
 A windsucker is a horse afflicted with breathing faults. Instead of breathing naturally, windsucker when running keeps his mouth open and sucks in wind. which affects his stamina and speed. A cribber is a horse that keeps nibbling at the side of the stall. While such a habit sell dom injures the horse to any extent il doesn't improve him. Instead of getting a great horse ir Playfellow. Sinclair felt he had beer l goldbricked. and took the case to the | courts for a settlement. Evidently what happened to Sin. | clair threw a scare into the mag. mates. All of them must have reat the facts as brought out in the Play. fellow suit.
 | Fear of being regarded as "fal 1 guy" slowed up the action at tn meeting.
 Most of the magnates at the meet ing talked in whispers, and move about the hotel lobby in a mysteriou way. It seemed that each one wa afraid the other was trying to gold brick him. The moment a playe was offered in trade or sale. the othe

TURK
 YOUNG LOMDOS
 MATCH TONIGHT

Wrestling fans will pnjoy their fa- vorite sport this evening when Young Londos of San Francisco and The Terrible Turk meet in finish bout at the Capital City arena.
 Tonight's bout will be held in the dance pavilion at the Capital City arena, where the fans will be warm and comfortable while the grapplers twist and squirm on the padded mat.
 The Terrible Turk comes from Fl Paso, where he defeated the best welterweights in the game. He is a tough mat man and, like the majority of Turk wrestlers, has nice assort- ment of pet holds that are dangerous to the luckless athlete who falls iDso his trap. He Is strong and rugged and his weeks training in Phoenix shows that he is in good condition.
 Neither grappler can plead lack of condition tonight. as both have been working here daily for over a week and prior to their local training course worked in numerous bouts. Londos is rated as one of the best welters in the game His long as- sociation with his uncle, Jim Londos. and George Kotsonaros furnished him with plenty of inside stuff" that comes in handy when the bout gets tight. Londos has a wide pair of | shoulders and is well developed His past record compares favorably with the Turks.
 Young Henderson and Indian Harry will furnish the fans with ac- tion in the opening preliminary while Indian Tom Stewart and Jack Daly. a pair of 1S5-pound boys, will fill the semi-final event.
 In addition to the wrestling card two good four-round preliminaries will be staged this evening.
 Promoter Anderson announces that a general admission price of s1.10 will be charged. No reserved seats will be held out tonight. First come, first seated.
 The first number will start at 7:5O
 o'clock.

 It seemed that no one wantsd 10 have a windsucker or cribber slipped on him. That perhaps. ex- plains the failure for several trades to go through.

Walsenburg, Colo, Nov. 17.-Mar-
tial law was proclaimed today in the
Colorado coal district, which was
the scene of the bloody mine war in
1914.
A walkout of union miners started
at midnight last night. One hundred
and fifty state guards patrolled the
coal fields in Huarafana county to-
day to prevent disorders.
The strike was started when the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company
posted notices of 25 percent slice
in the wages of the miners. No dis
orders had been reported early to-
day, but the authorities are taking
no chances, pointing out that it was
the desire to prevent repetition
of the disastrous fighting in 1914.

BRYAN DECLARES

Work Already Done surpasses Any

Copyright 1921 by United Press
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE accep
tance made by Great Britain ant
Japan assure the success of the
arms limitation conference.
If no more is done 1t would be an
epoc making gathering, for as Ar
thur Balfour declared, the work al
ready done surpassed any reduction
in armaments known in all the
worlds history.
But what is scarcely less impor
tant everyone seems to accept the
reduction in hlttleships as deter
mining the line TO be followed on
other matters. The reduction OF
land forces can scarcely be less in
proportion after the enthusiastic re.
ception given to the scrapping of
battleships.
France at cnce interpreted the
action in regard to navies as indi-
eating what must be expected in the
reduction of armies and Premier
BRAND gave notice of his desire to
discuss his governments position on
this subject. Secretary Hughes as
sured him that an early opportunity
would be given.
Now that the keynote has been
sounded and the character of the
proceedings determined attention
can be turned to less important
things.
Nothing, of course, could compare
in importance with the substances
of the acceptance made by Great
Britain and Japan
There was aminor matter which
aroused universal interest. 1t was
the difference in the oratory of Mr..
Ialfour and Premier BRAND.
Mr.. Balfour has fine face and
his long experience in public life
gives him ease of manner. He is
man of great, intelligence and
wide information. His speech was
all that could be asked. 1t contain
ed strong sentences; it was well

excellent. His language was in
keeping with his excellent though,
and the audience not only listened
iItently but was anxious to applaud.
The crowd was actually disappoint-

speech with applause, as it did the
