once during the game. In the first
quarter Cochrane. fullback, attempted
to drop-kick a field goal from the
forty-yard line. The ball fell short of
the goal nearly ten yards, tho. To-
peka'S first score came in the second
period thru a nix-up in the signals.
The ball had been brought to the nine
yard line by line plunges and a fiji
teen yard pass from Boyd to Darrow.
Thru mistake in signals Boyd, full
back, who was to carry the ball, did
not receive it from the quarterback.
Brewster, quarterback, then picked an
opening on the left side of the line
and carried the ball over Manhattan,s
goal line. Boyd kicked goal.
After receiving a punt from Coch-
rane in the third quarter on its own
thirty-eight yard line the Topeka team
carried the ball down the field to
Manhattan's goal line on a series of
line plunges averaging three yards
each. Graefe, left half played a star

YANKS MADE POOR SHOWING
Giants Excelled in Every Department
EXCEPT Fielding

New York, Oct. 9.-Official batting
and fielding averages for the world S
series reveal thc decisive superiority
of the Giants over the Yankees in
nearly every department of the game.
The Yankees excelled in fielding, with
a mark of 1916 to .972 for the Giants,
but in pitching, batting, base running
the latter a vital factor that is not
shown in the figures-rne world S
champions had a clear cut advantage.
The Giants hit .309 as a team, COL
lecting so hits and scoring 16 runs,
while the Yankees batted only .203,
making 80 hits and IL runs.
Groh, Frisch and Emil Meuse1 were
the batting heroes.
Bob Meusel d Wally Pipp, with
six hits apiece, led the Yankees in
batting. Aaron Ward had the dis
tinction of knocking out two home
runs.
Frisch and Groh also were fielding
stars.
The failure of Huggins's all-star
pitching staff to come thru while the
Giants moundsmen showed unexpect-
eddy good form was the outstanding
upset of the pre-series dope" but the
failure of Babe Ruth 10 show any
prowess It bat Whatever was a big
disappoint- cent to Yankee followers.

players and fans that the Aggies will
be beaten at St. Louis. They are
pretty firmly of the opinion that the
Aggie crew will show Kansas and Mis-
souri, and some of the other valley
teams a race. So Washburn got
royalty trimmed this year, after the
Aggies and Washburn played a 0 to o
tie on the Topeka field in 1920. There
is no question about it, the Washburn
team was completely outclassed, and
did not have a chance of winning.
Coach Bachman, who halls from
Notre Dame, has built up a team that
is bound to give a good account of it
self in the valley this year.
The Kansas Aggies. at present, are
preparing to trim Kansas university
when it come to Manhattan October
%, for the annual game between the
two schools, which will be homecom-
ing day for the Bachman men. Visit
ing newspaper men are to be guests
of the Agricultural college on that
day.
If there were any particularly IL
Illuminating playing on the part of any
of the Washburn players in the Sat
urday game we failed to see it. All
the men played about equal. Some
poor tackling was seen on the part of
several of the Washburn men, but this
may be overcome as the season ad-
vances. One play in particular, was
noticed where a Washburn man had
a clean field before him, and the man
was right in front of him. He had
all the chance in the world to tackle
the man directly around the knees,
but instead of that he reached up,
(the man was larger than he), and
: tried to love him around tht ears.
Such things as that must be overcome
if Washburn is to get into shape for
the next conference game when Baker
university comes here october %.
There was one man on the WASH
burn team who played an exception
ally good game of football, we believe,
considering it was his first college
football game, and that is Grassy
Bruce, who played the greater part OF
the game at quarter. Here is one man
who did not try to pull the ears off of
the Aggie men. He tackled low, and
all but once or twice he got his man
if he got near him. Then the general
ship of this freshman on the field
was quite favorable, we thought. He
used his head.

down. Boyd again kicked goal.
The fourth quarter was q punting
duel between Cochrane, OF Manhattan,
was able to score during this period.
The game ended with the ball in Man
hattan's possession on its own forty
yard line.
More than 700 Topeka rooters at
tended the game. Two hundred stu
dents from the Manhattan high school
made the trip TO Topeka 10 support
their team.
Cochrane and Riegei starred for
Manhattan and Boyd and Graefe for
Topeka. Brewster. Topeka quarter
back, who is playing the pilot posi-
ton during the absence, of Grotewohl,
due to an injury, also played good
game.

ened. The authorities have succeeded In
tracing the two men who went to the
Hall home at night two weeks ago and
were driven off by William Phillips,
night watchman at the New Jersey Col
lege for Women across the street.
The men are William Grover and
Benjamin Erling, both we'll known
local characters. They are to be dues-
toned in All effort to determine whether
they had any ulterior motive in their
midnight call at the home of Mrs. Hall.
They called there about two weeks ago,
driving UP in an automobile owned by
Erling, which they parked in front of
the Hall home on Nichol avenue. Leav-
ing the car they started to walk in.
but were. stopped by the watchman on
duty at the Hall house, who refused to
take a message to Mrs. Hall to the
effect that they wanted to see her.
Both men appeared to be under the
influence of liquor
Phillips persuaded them to so with
him, and lie led them to the county
Jail. He tried to get into the Prose-
cutor's office but he found it locked,
so he called Sheriff Wyckoff and the
men were held in tho latter's office.
County Detective John r. Ferguson
was called and ne talked to the men for
a short time. but they gave him no
information and he decided that 1t
would be useless to hold them.
When IN his presentation TO the
Grand Jury Mr.. Mott endeavors TO show
that Mrs, Hall had knowledge of an af-
fair between her husband and Mrs.
Mills he will find available testimony
TO the effect that Mr.. Hall would ex-
plain his belated arrival by saying he
had "a blowout when he came home
late.
Sometimes he told Mrs. Hall he had
tire trouble serious enough TO warrant
q delay Of hours Mrs. Hall at no
time, it is understood. asked for any
further explanation but always seemed
to accept the explanation.

MINERS
ARE FOUND DEAD
Bodies so Badly DecompOsed that Identi-

JACKSON. Cal, Sept. l9.-AlI Al of
the miners entombed in the Argonaut
mine August p, are dead, It was an
nounced officially Just before . o'clock
last night. A note found on one of the
bodies Indicated that all the men had
died within five hours OF the beginning
OF the fire, August p, officials said.
All the miners were found behind the
second of two bulkheads they had built
in cross-cut 1850 feet down IN the
mine. Byron o. Pickard, chief of the
federal bureau of mines for this district,
was the first man to go behind the bulk
head and discovered the bodies.
Pickard, of an earlier exploration be-
hind this bulkhead had counted AZ
bodies and expressed the belief then
that there were Others there;
The note found read as follows

those who might come after of the condi-

Mine officials declared that the cOndi-

head was such that life could not have
been sustained there by the entombed
men for more than five hours.
The bodies were piled one on top OF
another and decomposition had pro-

the fire apparently seeped through the
first bulkhead and the men lied from
the site where they were building the
