 On Grand Circuit

LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct. 1.-The grand circuit meeting here closed this afternoon with good weather and good racing.
 Driver Harry Stokes, of Springfield Ohio, won the enrd of three races in cluding the Kentucky for three year old trotters, oldest trOtting event on the American turf for colts. The event went to Thomas D. Taggart's Colonel Bosworth, after losing the first heat to Jeritza, due to break. Driver Lon Mcdonald, who has been driving the colt in his races, was severely bruised by his fall earlier in the week and asked Stokes to drive Colonel Bosworth and Brook Volo, both of which he landed in front. Colonel Bidwell from his own stable was nlso successful, this making one of the few times a driver has won an entire card in the history of the grand circuit.
 Brock Volo scored his second victory of the meeting when he won the 2 :10 pace. His victory was the easiest of the day. Colonel Bidwell accounted for the Cumberland in straight heats but Derby Dillon wBs close up in the first and Baron Worthy in the second.

 Peanut" O'Brien, quarterback, who entered the contest with his body ban daged from his hips to his neck and with a plate on his side protecting several broken ribs, scored the only points of the game by scooping up a punt on his forty yard line and running through the entire Wetumpka eleven for the goal line.

BASEBALL STILL
 HAS SOUR NOTE
Fandom Not Satisfied And Ban Johnson
 T0Ots Loud
By wEsTBROOK PEGLER
Leased Wirs To The ge.Herald

A98Sou WEFU AV Auu fA8o-AAoN "sNg
 NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-There is still one sour note in the loud and otherwise harmonious orchestration from Wash ington where the world series came to a close amid the praying and bleating of very loud and very sour. It is fluted n populace gone mad. That one note is by Byron Bancroft Johnson of Chicago, the president of the American league. and, as Johnson is no short -winded musi- elan, he probably will be able to keep on fluting until something happens to hlm or to baseball. The financiers who own the big league teams are all gents of musical inclination and there is no music they love more than the frenzied roar of massed customers with cash register obliggato. They do not like sour notes.
 If organized baseball thought the un- laundered dirty work of the last few weeks fin baseball would be forgotten amid the excitement over the world series, it has been mistaken. which is not exactly a novelty to organized base ball. It was mistaken when it tried to bully the first gossips who mentioned the faking in the 1919 world series and eventually had to admit that these pub lie scolds who were criticising the game were altogether too right. It was mis- taken, also when it tried to laugh off Harry Sinclair, then an obscure oil land prospector from Oklahoma, who started the Federal league. Before Sinclair was through he had compelled the own CTS of the old league clubs to stand on the lip of the Grand Canyon with him and toss dollar for dollar down the abyss.
 What is LandIs' Attitude?
 It is hard to understand the attitude of Judge Landis in the latest scandal in baseball because 1t is hard to un- derstand what his attitude is. He first tried to satisfy a natural panting in terest of the customers in the bribery ease by telling them that there had been some suspicious dealing but that he had looked into the matter, abolished two members of the Giants and exonerated three others.
 The customers and the newspapers thought the judge had made a mistake. and he then hedged slightly, saying the investigation had not been closed en- tirely. The world series went on and developed into the most dramatic sport event that ever adorned the American landscape. It ran to the ideal conciu- sion, the defeat of the Giants-a cold, appaIIingly efficient crowd of athletes with absolutely no initiatiye-the vic tory of the exuberent Senators, who have youngish team spirit, and the qualification of the whole country s wish, that Walter Johnson should win world series game.
 But still the judge hasn't given sat- isfaction. If newspaper writer should say "the world series of 1924 in Washington had a peculiar look, the judge would have an exhibition tantrum in full view of the cameras. And yet when Ban Johnson. a man who IS president of one of the two major leagues, says he has his doubts about another world series of recent years, the judge considers the source and se- renely ignores the charge.

HOWARD TEAM WINS
 FROM CHATTANOOGA
Bulldogs Trounce Moccasins By Score Of 26 To
 By Long Runs And Passes

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. H. Especial. )-Howard college eleven for ward passed and end-runned itself to a 2S to 0 victory over University of Chattanooga this afternoon with the greatest of ease. Scokel and Stevens did the lions share of the thrilling play, with occasional runs by Mccarthy and Harwood, while the line, led by kelit, swupped blows on even terms with the home forwards. The Chattanooga smash ing halves, scondaries' and safety men were at the mercy Of the Howard speedsters and the visitors ran all around the field, penalties preventing an even larger score.

U. c. took the offensive for the rest of the first period, except for a ten yard smash by Stevens. In the second period, Howard started an of fensive Howard making three runs for total of thirty yards and Scokel, an- other for ten yards, Stevens also for ten, but the locals succeeded in stop ping the rush and bunting out of dan ger. At the close of the period Scokel took three consecutive forward passes but the home secondaries had closed up by this time and he only totalled IF yards. ot
 Howard Punts
 Throughout the third period, How ard worked the old cope system of bunting on the second down except that Mccarthy, back in after an injury, ran 50 yards to put the ball on the home teams 20-yard line where a tumble lost it. Scokel took another pass for four yards, Harwood smashed for eight, Stevens for eleven toward the home zeal but penalty set them back. Just before the period closed a triple pass play, Mccarthy to Stevens to WiIker- son enabled the latter to gain 20 yards 10 the local ten yard line. The home line held on two plays and then Stevens easily circled left for counter. In the fourth period, there was little doing except kicking and an occasional Chat tanooga gain, one of Stevens punts go- ing s yards. Midway of the period, StAvens was away for q 56-yard run tO a score, after which Coach Gillem judged the quarterback had done

played miserable game at times. Time after time at the beginning of the second quarter, they were penalised for being offside.
 The backs ran well and played a pretty offensive game, despite the mum Der of times that Parks also slipped away from them. Alabama made 10 first down.
 Alabnma's three victories still leaves worry as to the outcome when foes such as Georgia, Centre and Georgia Tech are to be played. Too many flaws in the work, of the Crimsons are noticed against the weaker teams and these flaws are worrying Capstone supporters.
