SPORTS OF THE DAY
BY Gerald Froemke

Little Willie passed out cold:
Amt he cute. he's nine years old.
Following his decision plastering a
suspension and forfeiture of his $4,000
world series money on Babe Ruth for
defiance of the rules of organized
baseball by transforming, Judge Lam
dis was quoted as amending his de-
cision whereby Ruth may train with
the New York Yankees next spring
This looks like drastic punishment for
the "Bambino." and will cost the New
York Yankees lot of dough
II Duffy Lewis can whang them in
the Big Yard like he did last year
for the Salt Lake outfit in the Coast
League, somebody ought to be glad
to pay a little dough for Francis X.
of baseball.
Walter Camp had the dope when he
picked Ernie Wick of Michigan as
center on his mythical All-American
eleven. We played two years along
side this bimbo and harbor the same
opinion as Camp on the matter.
There is much discussion as to the
proposed bout between Jack Demp-
sey, the giant-killer and Harry Wills,
the negro heavyweight champion.
This will no doubt he the best card
that could be arranged but why take
a chance on another colored heavy
weight champion. 1t took us a long
time to find a man to beat Jack John
son, so we are all for Dempsey draw
ing the color line. 1t is our own pri-
waite opinion that our champion would
have some little trouble putting this
tough boy away. Anyway. il would
make sweet battle and not a track
meet like Tex Rickard put on last
summer in Boyles Thirty Acres.
It's pretty early to make predic-
tons on who is going to cop off the
pennant in either league, but we
would like to make a suggestion that
Harry Frazee will be crowding the
Athletics for the ground floor unless
he can make another deal getting

fer to help out for next season

A Bill to Help the BooImakers.

The bill passed by the House Of
Representatives forbidding the mail
ing Of newspapers in which betting
odds on horse races are printed is
just another attempt to produce
morality through legislation.
When a man or q woman really
wants to bet on the races or the ball
games or the number of beans in a
jar no legislation will prevent the
gambling. The world was gambling
before there were statutes; it will be
gambling even in DoN MARoUIs's AL
most Perfect State. A distinguished
Bishop Of the Church of England an
nounced publicly only the other day
that he had bet on a horse race.
The Ramseyer bill will not prevent
betting on the races. The men who
run hand books will have the odds
telephoned, telegraphed or mailed
from the tracks before or after the
races. Their customers, instead of
getting the actual odds. which the
newspapers now print, will get odds
to suit the bookmaker.

King Lots Silver, Maybe.
The Hoard Of Traprain Law Associ'
ated with an Arthurian Hero.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Is 1t
possible that British antiquaries have
missed the significance Of the great silver
hoard found at Traprain Law, between
Haddington and Dunbar Ill Southeastern
Scotland, and mentioned In THE NEW
YORK HERALD Of October ~?
Traprain Law--"law" means 'hilr'--
originally called Dunpelder. was the cap
ital from which the British King named
10th ruled the land to which he gave
the name Of lothian (Loth's land).
In the same wise Ceredigion or Cardigan
in Wales got its name from king
called Ceredig.
King Lot of Lothian. who fiourished
about SIC A. D., appears as Lot. King Of
Lodonesia In Godfrey of Monmouth's
Welsh ronances Of King Arthur. His
greatest title to fame is the fact that.
through his daughter Tameta. King Lot
became the grandfather OF. st. Kenti-
germ, who converted the BrieDns OF Glaq-
Cow and the Clyde valley to Christianity
in the latter years Of the sixth century.
st. Kentigern was more Familiarity called
ST. Mungo--literally dear dog"--just as
the great and tragic Macbeth was the
"son of q dog" by literal translation.
For the Scots clung to q curious heather
dog-worship long after they became
nominal Christians.
In the great silver hoard found at
Traprain Law we have, in all probability.
the table service and sacred communion
vessels Of an Arthurian hero. Lot, King
OF Lothian, who was clearly historic
Let us hope that antiQuaries will some
day unearth some personal relic Of good

to extend sympathy to members of the
Senator's family.
The whole nation has suffered a Sc
we're loss In the taking away of Senator
Knox" said President Coolidge, in
announcing that he expected to attend
the funeral services at Valley Forge.
HE was q man OF the very largest ex-
perience In the transaction of public
affairs. with most marked ability and
unselfish patriotism. It seems impos-
sibTe to reconcile his loss with those
needs of the present time to which he
was so remarkably trained to respond.
He was a great lawyer. a great Cabinet
Minister. a great Senator. Every be-
lever In sound government under the
Constitution and in accordance with the
law will mourn his departure
Secretary Hughes characterized the
Pennsylvania Senator's death as "a most
serious loss to the country" inasmuch
as. he added. it "deprives us of the SER
vice of one OF Americas ablest states
men,"
Both the Senate and House adjourned
on convening to-day as a mark of re-
spect to Senator Knox. Both adopted
resolutions OF regret and appointed COM
nlittees to attend the funeral services.
The passing of Mr.. Knox was formally
announced to the Senate by the senior
Senator from Pennsylvania, Mr.. PEN
rose, and to the House of Representa-
tives by Representative Butler, dean of
the Pennsylvania delegation.
Senator Penrose referred to the sud
den and unexpected death" of his col
league as great loss to the Senate and
the country. He was a great son OF
Pennsylvania, a man of sterling Amer
icanism," he added.
Representative Butler described Mr..
Knox as "a great American-one OF the
greatest--and one Of the most beloved
men in my State"

children for all that is best in life is
something more than the acquisition
Of an ability to read, write and
cipher. The pupil carries beyond the
school room doors but little of the
academic knowledge acquired in
school. The habits formed during
the school period. however, are likely
to stay with him throughout his
life; and these may be good, indif-
ferent or bad.
The acquisition of habit carries
with it something more than bit Of
mere mental activity; it has phys
ical basis and leaves a permanent
impression on the brain and its nerve
centres. A habit once formed is over

Gated at all.
Fortunately, good habits can be
ingrained quite as easily as bad hab-
its. A youth who trains himself to
habits of dependability. punctuality.
inquisitiveness. accuracy and integ-
rity in its broadcast sense is well edu-
Gated, no matter what his deficiency
In academic knowledge may be when
he leaves school. Habits of the sort
will carry him through life on the
crest of every wave. A drift into
habits of an opposite character will
make him a hopeless wreck no mat

knowledge may be.
No other city schools in the United
States present more intricate prob
lens than those of New York city,
and 1t is to the credit Of the princi-
pals and teachers that training to
good habits is effectively done. But
the education of the city's million
children cannot be left wholly to the
teachers; quite as great RESPONSE
bility rests upon the parents them
selves. and school week offers the
opportunity in which teacher and
parent may join efforts. Hence the
duty 1t presents along with the priv

The Giants Victory.

The Giants having beaten the YAM
KEGS five times, the agony is over and
the New York National League club
is baseball champion. It Is the first
world series that the Giants have
won since 1905, when McGRAw's
team defeated CONNIE MAcK's Phila-
delphia Athletics four games to one
in a series limited to seven games.
The victors are well entitled to the
crown. They had to fight hard for It
and they fought cleanly. Their ad.
vantage over the Yankees lay in their
we'll distributed batting ability and
in the pitching Of DOUGLAS and
BARNES.
The losers left the stricken field
with honor. For a club that had
never before led its league the New
York Americans played bangup ball.
It was known that they we're weak in
pitching, and with RUTH out Of the
lineup their greatest run maker was
absent. Yet even with these serious
handicaps they gave an exhibition Of
which any baseball team might be
proud. Their attack was aggressive.
their defence excellent. Even their
pitching, thanks to HoYr and MAYS,
proved far better than the critics
expected.
The magnates are to be congratu.
lated upon their great patience.
Think of the strain of having to
count million dollars!

Register To-day!

To-day another opportunity will be
given to qualified citizens of New
York to register for the election next
month.
The booths will again be open from
5 o'clock in the afternoon until 10:30
o'clock in the evening.
THE NEW YORK HERALD has al
ready explained that the fears enter
tained by some women that the proc.
ess Of registration is attended by un-
pleasant, embarrassing questions is
without foundation. The addition
Of a citizens name to the poll list
is accomplished quickly, without any
effort on the part of the State to pry
into the private affairs of the appli-
cant.
It should be borne in mind that
the only opportunity to enroll for the
primaries of 1922 is at the time Of
registration for the election of 1921,
No person who does not register this
year can have a vote in the party
organization of his or her choice next
year, when a complete State ticket
a United States Senator and Repre-
sentatives in Congress are to be
chosen.
The citizen, neglectful or careless
who does not register this week will
lose not only the opportunity to help
beat Tammany next month but the
chance effectively to influence party
action in 1922.
