PITT is SURE
OF DEFEATING
PENN STATERS
Pop" Warner Admits Pan
Tiers Are Ready to Smash
Two-Year Tie With Victory.
0ITTSBURGn, Nov. 2s-"Pop"
Warner admitted toniRht

N nITTSBURGH, Nov. 2e-Pop"
Warner admitted tonight
that he expected his Panthers
to break the two-year tie by sd-
ministering a summary defeat 10
Penn State at Forbes Field tomor-
row. Every last detail Of train
ing and learning has been com
pleted and the Psnthers will start
tomorrow with the intention Of
smothering Penn State.
Coach Warner said tonight that
he was positive the Panthers stin
had the same fighting spirit In them
that they displayed against Greasy
Neale's warriors. and while making
no predictions. his close friends say
he is confident Of breaking the two
year tie with q Pitt victory on
Thursday.
He has virtually decided on his
team, with the possible exception OF
left end. for which position he has
two very evenly matched boys In
Lloyd Jordan and Carl Sauer.
However. they will both be used.
and IL In likely that Ssuer viii start
at left end, with PIE" williams at
right end. Gourley and Simpson al
tackle. Bowser at center, Sack and
Clark at guard, winterburn at quar-
terback and Flanagan. Anderson,
and Hewitt in the backfleld.
Present indications point to an
other horrible field for the game to-
morrow, for the snow and siush Of
the past few days win turn Forbes
Field into a morass. This win no
doubt handicap both teams and will
in a large measure prevent anything
but defensive football. However.
the Penn State gridders are going
into the game to WIN. despite the
fact that Pitt is by long odds the
favorite.
Coach Hugo Bezdek has not an
nounced a definite lineup for the
game and some last minute changes
may he made. However, present
Indications are that the Nittsny
Lions will take the field in the fol-
lowing formation: Left end, Prank:
left tackle, Logue; left guard, Flock;
center, Captain BentE: right guard,
Bedenk; right tackle, McMahon;
right end, Mccoy: Quarterback,
Palm: left half. Wilson: right half,
Hufford; fullback. wentz.
Possible changes will send Artelt
in place Of Frank whose injury in
scrimmage on Saturday may keep
him out; and Patton 20 halfhack in
place Of Hufford who has not fully
recovered from bumps received in
the Penn game ten days ago

RAISING SAL E ENDS
SATURDAY NIGHT

Saturday will mark the close OF
one OF the most successful sales IN
the history of the Fairmont Home
Furniture Company. Many people
have talked about the real bar
gains which they found in the
store One of the mem bers of the
firm stated that fully eight car
loads of furniture would be dis
posed of before the close of the
sale. People are not attracted tc
any sale at this time unless there
are real bargains. The large
crowds that visited the store each
day, was an index OF the confidence
| of the people in the sales put on
by the Company.
The growth of the Home FurnF&
ture Company has been littleS Less
than marvellous. They have been an
the sales last year reached more
than ono third of a million. This;
business has come as a persistentS3
effort on the part of the firm to be
of service to the entire community
They not only carry moderate
priced furniture but good selec'G
ton of high priced goods that
would be credit to any home In
F'aiTmont The fact that they have
almost four thousand customers on
the books and send furniture into
fifty eight towns within radius
OF twenty five miles of Fairmontts
shows their determination to- serve
the entire community.
Those who have not visited the
store lately will beawel repaid fol-
their time by going through ever
though they do not care to pur
chase at this time. Those who may
need furniture in the near future
should avail themselves Of this n
opportunity for rare bargains.

Named---WilI Hold First
Meeting Tonight.

No definite decision regarding
Scouting plans for the future was
reached at the meeting of Boy

Court room.
A committee was appointed to
work out ways and means for car

session of the committee will be

Much Interest Shown
Though the attendance at the
meeting last night was not as large
as had been expected, considerable
interest in the topics discussd was
shown by all present. A plan for
carrying on Scout work was one of
the subjects taken up. Boy Scout
Executive Thomas A. Tate was
called upon to answer a number OF
questions in connection with Scout
ing work.
According to statements by Mr..
Tate yesterday afternoon, funds
are needed for the purpose of en-
larging the Scout program here.
Just how much money will be ne.
was not stated.
There are nov between 400 or
500 Boy Scouts in Marion County

Girl HIDING
AS TWO mothers
BATTLE |. FOR HER
Mrs. Ormsbee Claims Other
Woman Merely Has Crav-
ing for Babies.
BY EDWARD NJ. THnERRY

BOSTON,, June Seven-year-
old. Dorothy Ormsby Is hidden
away somewhere in New York
State, because two women claim
motherhood of the little girl.
One is Mrs. William w. Orms-
bee. former actress. The other is
Miss Emily P. Towner.
The strange thing about this
fight over a child is that the
Massachusetts courts six years ago
decreed Mrs. Ormsbee the mother
and that only recently has Miss
Towner come forward with her
claim.
Nor is Dorothy's parenthood a
subject for court decision now.
Miss Towner, falling to receive the
support of the Massachusetts
Society for the Prevention CT
cruelty to Children which in 1916
forced the Ormsbees into court to
establish their claim, took the
dramatic method of re-opening the
case by drinking poison in a down
town office building.
The attempted suicide occurred
outside the office OF A. L. StinSon,
attorney for Mrs. Ormsbee, and

waits in the home of relatives in
Jamaica Plains, hoping for a
chance to obtain legal hearing OF
her assertion that she is Dorothy's
mother. She says her child was
placed in an institution in Mont
real and later given to the Orms-
bees.
The coincidence is that Mrs.
Ormsbee's child was born-in Mont
real in the same apartment house
in which Miss Towner lived. But
Mrs. Ormsbee insists she was
never in, the institution named in
her life.
Fearing for the safety of. Dor
othy and herself, Mrs. Ormsbee
has just applied to the courts for
the appointment of commission
to inquire into Miss Towner's
sanity.
Il feel sorry for her. Mrs.
Ormsbee said '.She has a baby

a child that died in infancy. Rec

her and never even heard of her

Doubt About Recognition
Attorney Stinson says Miss
Towner claimed she knew Mrs.
Ormsbee and that she saw her
with Baby Dorothy in a Boston
theater last February. But Mrs.
Ormsbee produced hotel bills to
show she was in cities other than
Boston at that time. AS climax
to this debate Mrs, Ornsbee called
at Miss TOWERS home in the
guise of friend of Mrs. Ormsbee
and was not recognized.
Miss Towner refuses to say
what method she plans to use to
obtain custody of the child
But I'm going to have my
baby" she said.
