DANCE is PART OF CEREMONY
Norwegian Wedding Would Not Be
Complete Without the Merriment
That Custom Has Prescribed.

There is nothing Norwegians love as
they love dancing. At wedding cele-
bratiOn three generations often dance
together, and the bridegroom dances
with each Of his bachelor friends.
Then he is lifted high upon their
shoulders. and they run and jump
with him, over chairs and stools, upon
tables and chests. out of windows,
through doors. After them run all the
married men present, except the two
newly made fathers-in-law. Then
comes mad but good-natured scram-
BILE. Each side-married against un-
married-fight to secure the bride
groom, the Benedicts, Of course, al
ways winning in the end.
When this is all over, the bride
groom stands quietly among the mar
ried men, while the bride dances off
her crown" She is blindfolded, and
after a time lifts the crown from her
head and places it upon the head Of
any maiden she can contrive to reach
and securely crown. The girl thus Sc
lected steps into the center of ring
formed by the eelebrators, who sing:
"She will be married next; she will be
married next."-Detroit News.

Fish Uses Fins as Feet.

A walking fish inhabits some of
the small streams Of st. Thomas is
land.
The head is somewhat like that Of
the ordinary freshwater sucker, with
a round, full-lipped mouth and no
teeth. Just back of the head. on
either side, is a large, well-developed
fin, armed with a strong bony spike.
The fish use these fins to crawl or
elbow" their way out of the water
and to cling to half-submerged logs
and stumps. The name walking,
fish" is derived from this faculty of
actually walking or climbing out Of
the water.
Perhaps the strangest feature of
all is the tail, which is soft and bone
less, and composed almost entirely of
a most delicate arterial network, for
it is through the tail that this fish
secures its necessary supply of oxy-
gen while out 81 the water. While in
the water respiration takes place
through the gills, as with other fish.
AS long as the fish can keep its tail
in the water or In contact with wet
sand or mud 1t can remain out Of the
water Indefinitely. -

SAMPLE OF CHINESE JUSTICE
Possibly Little of This Might Wake
Up Some Town Authorities In
America.

1t appears that when one has lived
ir China for some time and studied it's
institutions the one thought that
strikes him is the feeling of RESPONSE
bility that pervades every phase Of
Chinese life. This sense of response
bility makes useless the ordinary ex-
cuses that weigh with American or
European.
Two men were gambling in an OBJ
scure part of one town, in a room hid
den away from observation. A dis
pute arose over the game; it ended in
fight, and one of them got a fatal
stab. 1t was o'clock in the morning
when the incident took place. The
whole city was asleep, and the tipaO,
the headman of the ward, and his
family were in bed, so that he was en-
tirely unaware of what was going on.

"Never mind, now" was the official

With that he was thrown upon his

who had been looking at him VIA

FIFTEEN PLAYERS
 FROM MINORS GET. DRAFT IN MAJORS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Fifteen minor league stars were drafted today by National and American league clubs at the annual draft meeting. held under the direction of Commissioner Landis. Players were obtained under can and four National league clubs.
 The draft took place under the new regulations which provide that 1t be made on the day before the opening of the world series instead of after the championship, as heretofore. Clubs obtaining minor leaguers now are obliged to pay the full draft price at once, instead of In install ments. The prices fixed ranged from $1,000 to $4,000, according to the classification.
 Less importance than in former years, however, Is attached to the draft process as five of the big can association, International and Pacific Coost circuits, do not recog- nize its operation.
 The list of draftees follows:
 By the Chicago Nationals: Churry of London, Ontario and Cocklin of Danville, va.; Cleveland Americans, Luther Roy of Chattanooga, Tenn. :; New York Americans, Pitcher Arguigo of Corsicana. Tex: Chicago Americans, Crump of Greenville, Tenn; Boston Nationals, Speerbeor, Houston. Tex, Lucas of San Antonio and Graham of Little Rock, Ark; Philadelphia Americans, Gray of Fort Worth; Brooklyn Nationals, Simpson of Springfield, Mass.

BIG TEN COACHES GIVING ELEVENS
 PLENTY OF WORK

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Football men tors of the big ten are busy this week correcting weakness shown by their elevens in the opening game last week in order to have the teams in readiness for the first conference games next Saturday.
 Illinois, which jumped into cham pionship speculation as result of it's defeat of Nebraska in it's opening game Saturday, started to strengthen it's end during scrimmage against Butler plays. Butler. next Saturdays opponent, defeated the Illinois last year.
 The two most important games scheduled for Saturday are the Michigan Vanderbilt contest and the contest between Ohio State and Col gate. Michigan and Ohio State came through their opening tests un- scatned.
 Coach Ingram of Indiana, the only team defeated by a non- conference eleven in Saturdays games, had one of the biggest tasks on Its hands to get ready for the clash with North western next Saturday. Undaunted by the victory of Depau, the Indiana team has started a week of hard work.
 Wisconsin and Minnesota, neither of which made particularly enviable showing Saturday, began long grind of practice with the Wiscon- sin home coming game with Minne- sota October 27 as the goal of both teams,
 Purdue and Iowa meet in the only other conference contest scheduled for next Saturday.

best year of his career, twirling a no-hit game against the Tthletics and turning in two-hit perform ance.
 Expectations of worlds series at tendance records are based upon the fact that the Yankee Stadium, seat ing about 10000, and the reconstruct ed Polo Grounds, accommodating about 55,000, offer far larger facili- ties than in any series in history. The previous attendance record of ,42,620 was set in a game between Braves field in 1916. The record gate" is $125,147, established in the fifth and last game of the 1922 series. The record paid attendance at the stadium this season was $60.331.
 Kenesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of baseball, announced the assignment of umpires for the American league, at home plate; O'Day, National league. at first base Nallin, American league, at second base; Hart, National league, at third base. They will change places daily, rotating from first base to home plate in order.
 The Yankees have displayed vastly improved team play this season. Scott. veteran shortstop, has slowed up considerably, in the opinion of critics, but this has been more than enumerated by the improvement of Ward, at second base, and the all- round fine game of Joe Dugan, at thrid base. And Ruth's great come back, his spectacular work in all de- partments of the game, have done more than anything to lift the club s morale.
 The Giants, on the other hand, have been handicapped by injuries which kept Heine Groh, the third baseman, and Capt. Dave Bancroft, shortstop, from their regular posts for many weeks of the season. The possession of good reserve material, particularly Young Travis Jackson. who plugged both gaps at different times, helped pull the club through these emerg- encies.
 Despite the fact that it has be- come threetime annual affair for the local clubs, Gotham fandom has shown no lessening of interest in the diamond classic. Reserved sec tions of the Yankee Stadium, accom- moda ting between 10000 and 25, ,O00 have been sold out, the club an nounced, for the first, third and fifth games. All but 2,50O of the 10000 re- served seats at the polo grounds, where the second, fourth and sixth games are to be played, had been disposed of tonight. The place of the seventh game, if necessary. will be decided by the toss of a coin.

'BAMA GETTING READY FOR
 TRIP TO SYRACUSE TO PLAY SYRACUSE TEAM SAs:s9s, .3gN o gNDAY
Quietness Prevails On The Campus As Time Nears For Crimson Tide To Make De- parture For The East

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 9.-An in- tense quietness prevails on the cam pus of the University Of Alabama as the 1923 Crimson eleven is about ready to embark for their engage ment this Saturday at Syracuse with Syracuse university, rated one of the strongest elevens in the east.
 Were the Tidesmen journeying to meetN any other eastern team but Syracuse, a much more optimistic feeling would exist at Alabama. For glowing reports from the Syracuse camp picture nothing but strength in the Syracuse team. On the other hand, a series of many things have given the Tide some delay in reach ing 8 midseason form.
 One thing must be realized :. al once, Alabama is going to Syracuse with a firm intention of having everyone realize the Alabamians are football players. Some of the men will be under fire for the first time in a major game, in a game where Ala bama is not the favorite to win Others will be veterans, veterans of the Pennsylvania game of last year The greatest veteran of all will be Capt. Al Clemens, playing his fourth year on the Crimson Tide.
 There is no optimism relative to winning the game in the camp of the Crimsons. The game, in fact, is not worrying the players to any eX- tent. True, all realize what task they are facing, but there is not a anxious to be. one of the first eleven men to start. All one says is Wait until it is over.'
 Tuesday the Tide went through light scrcimmage work. working al the art of breaking up passes, run ming signals and polishing off few rough spots noticed in the game Saturday. The work of most of the men was very satisfying, and if the Alabama team fights Saturday, as they fought last Saturday, the re- ports may be much brighter than most persons believe.
 Graham McClintoclk was absent from practice the early part or the week, due to sickness. If this triple threat man is unable to make the trip, the backs will be weakened tC some extent. For McClintock is one of the best passers and punters or the squad and is a faithful worker
 Camp and Langhorne appear to be the men that will start the Syracuse game. Camp covered himself with glory Saturday. and looks better every day of the world. He. is fast for his size, bordering on the 192 mark, and is very effective in the line. Langhorne has had the bene- fit of a years experience, and is of the same weight. If they; do not start. it will be either Jones or En- his in their place, both very good men.
 Ben Hudson at right end has been drawing the plaudits of every one Hudson Is a graduated freshman from last year and has been doing great work at end. He weighs about 176 pounds. is hard as nails. and has plenty of fight. He tackles hard guards his end well. and is a good grabber of passes. With Captain Al, he should prove a stumbling for all attempted end runs.
 Hubert is practically certain to call signals from the fullback posi- tion. This rangy lad Is supreme at

WESTERN SIDE OF
 BIG LEAGUES BEST

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The western side of both major leagues outplayed the eastern quartet in 1923. It was close race in the American league for sectional honors. the westerners winning by the close count of 176 to 175. In the National league the west ern clubs, as unit, had a margin of 65 games over the eastern clubs. In the National league all four the western clubs played above the 300 mark in the intersectit nal tilts, while the Giants alone of the quartet suc- ceeded in winning more than half of it's games against the western. The Yankees of the eastern division had intersectional average of 300, while Chicago was the western club that failed to play up to that mark.
 Of the Is clubs, the best performer was Cincinnati, with an average of 6S2. The Yankees ranged next with
 605. The Boston Braves made the poorest showing in the intersectional gameS

Elimination Race Off

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct. B. Members of the American Race com mittee announced last night that it would be impossible to hold the elimination race to choose a chal- lenger for the international fisher mems trophy now held by the schoon- CT, Bluenose, of Luenenberg, N. S., on Columbus Day, October 12. The Henry Ford and Elizabeth Howard, two of the vessels entered for the elimination race, have not returned from fishing trips. The Columbia, the third aspirant, is being repaired. The Henry Ford is expected to reach Gloucester this week. The Howard is expected momentarily.
 The Columbias owners say that it would require at least four days to complete repairs on the vessel.
 Alabama as line bucker, but is be- ing given a close race by "Red' Barnes. Hubert called signals well Saturday and showed no hesitaney about calling the plays. Barnes and Gillis look best for halfback posi- tions at the present time and are both splendid carriers of the ball
 Alabama's team does not look bad. Having to work with new men under a new system has delayed the rounding out of the eleven, but Coach Wade has them almost at the point where he will be pleased It has been a long road but constant attention to minor details has given the Tide a well formed battle array.
 Saturday, at Denny field play by play of the game will be made be- fore the freshman game with Marion institute. An admission of 50 cents will be charged. The Tide leaves Wednesday afternoon and will re- turn to Tuscaloosa the following Monday. And how they return, de- feated or victorious, is to be decided Saturday.

Plan Combining Of All Golf Bodies Into One


 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Plans are be- ing discussed for the merging of the United States Golf association, the Western Golf association and other sectional bodies to be known as the Golf Association of America. the New York Tribunte says today.
 The U. S. G A. and the Western association have had various diff culties in the past, especially over the stymie. and another discord has been threatened as a result of the U. s. G. A. in forbidding the use of punched clubs. but 1t was the Western association which proposed the mer- ger according to the newspaper.
 The subject was discussed at a meeting of the executive committee of the U. s. G. A. during the national amateur championship, and all but one member approved the merger, the article says. The question will be decided at the annual meeting of the U. s. G. A. in Dcember.

NEW YORK, Oct. Workmen began today to transform Ebbets Field, home Of the Brooklyn Dodg- CTS, from a diamond to gridiron in preparation for the football game next Saturday between West Point and Notre Dame.
 The Notre Dame squad will reach New York Friday in time for an aft ernoon workout at the field. They will be quartered at the fashionable Westchester- Biltmore club at Rye, where the Polo field has been put at the disposal of Coach Rockne. Fri day night the Notre Dame players will attend a Broadway cabaret. On Saturday night they will go to a musical comedy. W
 At West Point the Army is having half an hours scrfmmage daily. Drillmasters of the squad are out spoken in criticizing their men for slow and bunglesome tackling.
 Some one must be developed in a hurry to replace Don Storck, vet eran at right end, whose leg injury improves so slowly that it is cun- sidered certain he will be unable to appear against Notre Dame.
