SISLER'S PREDICTION
S. Louis Browns Manager Says Race Next Year Will Be an Open One From Start.

St. Louis, Oct, 24.-Despite the fact that Washington won the Amer ican league penDant and the world championship in 1924, Manager George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns says the Senators will have their troubles repeating.
 "The teams in the American league are 50 evenly matched that any club in the circuit with little strengthening would be in a position to win next year." says Sisler.
 T regard New York, Detroit and St. Louis as inherently stronger than Washington, yet the Nationals beat all three to the wire.
 Washington won because 1t never quit, got the breaks, making many of them and had wise manager in Stanley Harris.
 There is little difference between any of the clubs in the American league. Connie Mack finished sixth the past season, yet must be figured as a pennant contender.
 Competition Is so keen in the American league that Washington has it's work cut out to repeat"
 sisler certainly seems to have sized up the American league situa- tion correctly.

CENTRE COLLEGE
 SET FOR BATTLE
Will Play West Virginia at
 Polo Grounds

New York, Oct. 24.-Ccnter col lege's band of gridiron gladiators- 25 strong arrived today for thk game against the strong West Virginia team at the Polo Grounds tomorrow. Travelling in style in special Pull mans attached to a regular train and stopping at fashionable hotel here, the invasion of the Praying Colonels" Is a decided contrast to former methods of travelling by Gen. ter teams.
 Five years ago, it is recalled, the Center eleven was probably more powerful but less stylish. The last time they journey to West Vir- ginia game they went to Charleston, w. Va, from Danville, Ky, in day coaches. arriving at midnight and getting little rest, although football history reveals that on the next aft ernoon they overpowered the potent Mountaineer eleven and jumped to fame.
 Moreover. in that memorable game, the Colonels had no ball when they arrived on the field and had to borrow one from their opponents for signal practice. Vivid accounts of that game relate that four of the Center stars, including the brilliant "Bo" McMillan, were without head gear, this necessary part of their equipment being furnished by West Virginia substitutes. Their jerseys did not match and they gave evil dence of more than a seasons wear,
 Uncle Charley" Moran, head coach of the Center eleven at that time and an umpire in the National league. was coach. manager, trainer and property man of the Colonels, In his unheated and dimly lighted room after the game. Moran re- cleated some of the shoes for his men which were damaged during the hectic game.
 The West Virginia, team will ar rive tomorrow morning. Coach c. W. Spears will bring ss players in addition to a student band sE pieces.

 Killed Experimenting

Madison. Wis, Oct. 24.-While experimenting in the electrical en- gineering department at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, Herbert o. Opitz, 24, fullback on the university foot ball squad, came into contact with a live wire today and was electro cuted.
 Preparations were under way for removing the body to Elkhorn, Wis, the students home.

TWO BIG GAMES
 IN EAST SATURDAY
PrincetOn-NOtre Dame and liar.
 Yard-DartmOutb
By The Associated Press.


 New York, Oct. 24. - Princeton and Dartmouth, meeting Notre Dame and Harvard in tomorrow's outstanding eastern gridiron battles each has the memories of previous setbacks as incentives to victory But while the Tigers have the sting Of only one defeat-a crushing 2J to reversal last year-to goad them on against the Hoosiers, Dart mouth has the bitter recollection of an almost unprecedented series of disasters at the hands of the Grim son.
 Banking Harvard last season to the tune of 1G to 0, Dartmouth hung Up it's first triumph at Cambridge since 1907 but it was only a drop in the bucket of rivalry which has seen the Crimson triumph in 25 out of 30 games these two elevens have played since 1882. When the Green takes the field tomorrow, it un- doubtedly will have in mind that from 1882 to 1902, Harvard tri- uInphed IS successive times and that Dartmouth failed to score a single point in the first 6 contests.
 Records of the Harvard-Dart- mouth series show that the Green did not win game until 1908 when the Hanoverians broke through by o ;n followed in 1904 and 1905. Harvard won in 1906 and Dartmouth came back to win hy P to in 1907. That's the best that Dartmouth has ever done against the Crimson. There was break in the series from 1912 to 1922. The recapitulation shows 25 victories for Harvard, three for Dartmouth, two tie games, while the Crimson has rolled up 632 points to only 91 for the Hanover ians
 The Dartmouth Harvard and Princeton -Notre Dame games both appear likely to be closely contested. The Green, tying Yale a week ago, while Harvard was extended to beat Holy Cross by one touchdown, has a powerful running attack, showed in 1923. Princeton's fighting eleven has an attack as resourceful if not quite as deceptive as the smooth running Notre Dame outfit. The Hoosiers will be handicapped by the loss of their captain and center, Adam Walsh, since they conquered the Army last week, while Princeton will be strengthened by the return of her leader, Buzz" Stout, to his wing post. Both Princeton and Dartmouth. however, must rid them selves of previously displayed fum- bling tendencies if they want to make victorious headway.
 Four unbeaten elevens will invade New York tomorrow in the choicest gridiron portion of the Metropolitan season.
 Williams, cOGqueror of Cornell, will tackle Percy Haughton's i'm proved Columbia eleven; Washing ton and Jefferson and Lafayette. toth unbeaten, will renew their keen rivalry at the Yankee stadium: while Center, undefeated but tied. will oppose West Virginia at the Polo Grounds.
 Syracuse, another undefcated eleven, invades the Nittany Lion stronghold with good prospect of keeping the Orange slate clean, while Yale is confident of triumph over Brown in other outstanding games.

BREAKS OF GAME
 OFTEN DECISIVE
Football Affected as Much as
 Baseball
The breaks of the game are as

The breaks of the game are as decisive in football as baseball.
 Very often one gridiron play that has a certain amount of the element Of luck connected with it is the turn ing point of the game.
 Take the Illinois Michigan game for instance Illinois outplayed Michigan and deserved to win, yet the margin of superiority was hard lyS to as the score would indicate.
 The first play of the day, in which Grange caught the Michigan kickoff and ran 90 yards for touchdown, changed the entire complexion Of that great game.
 It is unusual for a player to turn such a trick in a big game, And no play is quite so depressing to a rival team as to have some player on the first play of the game run the length of the field for a touchdown.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-24

Oranges remarkable run unques- tionably raised havoc with the Mich igan eleven.
 It tended to make the Ann Arbor eleven look ridiculous. Every player on the field, every substitute on the bench realized it.
 The memory of that run haunted the players throughout the rest of the game. It will stick with them for years.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-24

Zuppke has already showed his hand in Oranges pr6gram for the 1924 season.
 Last fall Grange was the offensive star. Get the ball to Grange was the big thought. He was the receiv- CT of practically every forward pass. Six feet tall, he was fine target for the passer.
 Last year Grange ran wide at all times. Through sheer speed, aided by interference, he tried to leave rival tacklers in his wake.
 This year Grange has perfected the art of passing the ball He is very adept. Instead of running wide zuppke has him cutting in.
 Grange is no longer a one-threat athlete but several. much to the con- sternation of rival teams.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-24

That brilliant run was the decisive break. It gave Illinois much confi- dence. It robbed Michigan of an even greater amount.
 No doubt that run caused every member of the Michigan team to think more of Grange than any oth- CT thing on the gridiron.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-24

Grange is a remarkable football player, one of the games greatest. He is coached by one of the most resourceful mentors in the game, Bob Zuppke.
 It is a certainty that Zuppke will rack his brain for ways and means to preserve Grange's greatness.
 Iuppke realizes full well that great star like Grange can make his coach look mighty good.
New Britain herald., 1924-10-24

To them Grange was 6 constant threat. The psychology of that first run was apparent throughout the rest of the game. For that reason Michigan did not play as well as it is capable of.
 Incidentally the success of Grange in the Michigan game Is going ito have a far-reaching effect. Other Big Ten teams on the Illinois sched- ule are worrying more than ever about him.
 In the opening game of the sea son the heavy Nebraska line sewed him up pretty well. Then came the Michigan massacre.

La FoIIette's Really Honest
Policy Is Holly Opposed
by Senator Smoot
BY WILLIAM HARD.

Sugar produced the liveliest Of
al the quarrels in the making Of
the present tariff law and Il has

duRrreIs in the revising OF that law
before the Tariff Commission.
Senator Smoot of Utah, now chair
man Of the Senate Finance Commit

Church. The Mormon Church or

beet sugar. Beet sugar wants a
high tariff on cane sugar from
Cuba.
Senator sEs1eot, when he contem-
plates the infamy Of Americans who
own sugar lands in Cuba and who
own sugar refineries refining Cuban
sugar on our Atlantic coast and who

PARALYSIS CURE
BY OPERATION
IS SUCCESS
Youthful Sydney Surgeons
Find Remedy in Removal
Of Nerve

SYDNEY, Australia, sept. 10. -
Astonishing results have been OBJ
tanned by two young Sydney sur
geons in the relief of rigid paralysis
by means Of the removal Of the
sympathetic nerve.
The discoveries of the remedy are
Doctor Boyle and Professor Hunter,
OF Sydney University. The latter, sat
twenty-five, probably is the young
e9t professor of anatomy in the
world. They will explain the scien-
ttf1c details of their treatment dur
ing their forthcoming visit to the
United States, at the invitation of
Doctor Mayo, head Of the famous
Mayo Clinic, at Rochester, MINI.
Boyle explains that while the
functions of one set of nerves and
muscles are well known, the func-
tons of the other sympathetic set
are underlined.
Professor Hunter obtained the
muscles Of python, in which the
sympathetic muscles are clearly de-
fined. They co-operated in expert
ments with animals suffering from
complaints resembling paralysis, and
they observed in each case that the
removal Of the sympathetic nerve
caused a definite change in the
action Of the muscles, did not inter-
fefe with the animals ability to
control the limbs and did not affect
the power of the muscles deprived
OF the sympathetic nerve supply.
Operations on human beings fol.
lowed. One patient, unable to walk
vertically or backward, was made
to walk naturally fifteen days after
being operated upon, and to descend
and ascend stairs after twenty-four
days, also to balance on the de-
fective limb.
Other cases have shown the same
astonishing results.

Two German seamen, unable to
speak English, are held at the
Second precinct police station,
Willoughby, to be turned over to
the immigration authorities after
an unsuccessful attempt early
this morning to swim ashore
from their ship, outward bound,
at Cape Henry.
The two sailors, missing q
chance to get ashore when the
vessel, the German steamer
Poseidon, took on bunker coal at
Lamberts Point, plunged over
board as the pilot was being
taken off. They were picked up
in heavy sea by the pilot boat
and brought to Willoughby.

Offer $4,000 For
Clue to ''Bogle
Millions"

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. TO-
AS final effort to locate the
mysterious 'BogIe Millions"
Mrs. Nina E. Boyle and her
daughters, Louise and Lucille,
of Chattanooga, Tenn, have Of
fered a reward Of $50, 900, con-
tingent upon the discovery Of
the fortune, for information
concerning its whereabouts.
The supposed Boyle fortune
first came into the public eye
when a woman known as "Mrs.
White" occupying obscure lodg-
ings in this city, drew its atten-
tion to James Andrew Boyle, q
railroad freight agent. Boyle
was heir to this fortune by
will drawn in 1902, according to
the woman. The fortune was in
Scotland, she said. Then after
obtaining full documentary
proof Of Bogle's ancestry, the
woman disappeared.
No further attention would
have been paid the matter had
not a letter been received in
September, 1922, signed "W.
X. Boyle" in which was en-
closed money order for $500.
It contained a note which ex-
planned the money was part
